I see that you’re enjoying your unique and well-rendered hairstyle with that lovely mog that sits nicely on the character’s model. It has braids! Must be so nice.

/grin

That’s what this is about.

Blood Elf and Human are the most popular races in this game, and it’s not even close. They are the most common choice made. The Thalassian elf model and the Stormwind human model are the ones chosen by more players than any other.

The decision to give the best customization options to less popular races was not an accident. It’s not like they sat in meetings about this and just forgot. It was a calculated choice. They likely believed they were encouraging engagement with the less popular races, and that makes sense, but if they’d thought about it for just a little bit longer, they might have realized that denying the player base what they actually want is not good game design. It’s simply purposeful frustration of the player.

And when you purposefully frustrate the player, this is what happens.

You have a whole crowd of folks rolling Dracthyr characters to get at what they really wanted, which was access to better customization for the two most popular races in the game.

And I say this as a devoted Night Elf main (who has several plaited hairstyles that fit my model nicely to choose from).

Never understood people race changing to a Dracthyr to have the visage that is similar to humans who now can have elf ears.

They nerfed that for non evokers.

I’m suprised that wanting to improve my experience as a customer, to the expense of NO ONE has actually ticked a few people off.

While they may have nerfed it, the double jump glide for non-Evoker Dracthyr is still slightly faster.

Imagine wanting to actually play as something with a human face :nauseated_face:

46

bruh it doesnt even need that
literally use smstats or whatever stat mods and you can see the speed is faster than non-dracthyr, and fastest as evoker

I maintain that Drakthyr never should have been a race to begin with. Everyone would get evokers and the class comes with a Drakthyr form.

I’d also support visage form for evokers whenever you want it < 3

If you play the draconic race just to look like an elf all the time you absolutely are lame.

Just play one of the actual elf races at that point.

Coming from an Undead that’s cute.

51

I picked the undead guy because I wanted to play the undead guy.
You picked the draconic race because you wanted to play a slightly modded Blood Elf/Human depending on [Body Type] selection.

We are not the same.

52

Good for you.

Wouldn’t even dream of wanting us to be the “same”. :yawning_face:

53

Indubitably.

Good, then you understand you will always be beneath me.

54

Good.

LOL no but keep dreaming though.

55

So you don’t understand.
Shame upon thee.

56

I guess Dracthyr are like having an ugly child.

You love them, but you don’t wanna look at them. :joy:

57

Oh I do, it seems you’re just stuck in la-la land.

Sad.

Honestly it probably highlights just how lacking some customization are for older races.

58

You just admitted you don’t.
No takesies-backsies.

59

Never did.

For there to be something to take back it would’ve had to occur in the first place. Nice attempt tho.

60

You did though.

See? Right there.
