Don’t force them to swap when they go into combat. I know there’s a way for them to immediately change back once combat is over, but there should also be a way for them to just stay in visage the whole time. Only a few select abilities should turn them into dragons, or maybe you could just create a new animation for it. Either way, if it does turn them into a dragon, once the ability ends they should just turn back to visage.
I really don’t want to be forced to use the stupid dragon race to play the class, and if you’re going to keep it locked with the Drackthyr you may as well be as accommodating as you can.
I get it may be difficult to work it all out and get it to work right but… just figure it out. You have intelligent people on board I’m sure, somewhere. Just put your heads together and get it working.
You don’t have to have horns. And honestly, the visage forms look fantastic. Best customization options I’ve ever seen on any race. I say let them be free. What is truly awkward is the dumb dragons. Horrible looking race.
So? Dragons are in humanoid form all the time. In heroes of the storm Alexstrasza plays in her humanoid form and dragon form. But still, she does fight as a human in that game so… part of their identity.
Because it still proves the point. Dragons fight in either human form or dragon form. So staying in your human form fits just fine within the lore. And either way, heroes of the storm is a blizzard owned product, so this is how they see dragons.
I disagree. Get rid of visage form. Dracthyr are not Worgan with a curse that can be controlled and revert back to human form. They are not full size dragons so the need for a visage form is irrelevant
It being dead or alive doesn’t really matter. It was used as an example to show a dragon fighting as a human, nothing more. The game died because it was poorly managed.
I do wish they managed it better though. Heroes was genuinely fun.
Dragons use visage forms as a disguise more than anything. I would think a drackthyr would still wanna blend in. Even if they are humanoid size, they are still a dragon in a world that doesn’t regard dragons very highly.
