Mhm. How do you feel about Faerin Lothar?

507

What does Faerin have to do with Dracthyr?

508

I think there might be some correlations at work, here. How do you feel about Faerin?

509

I might be wrong, but i think, all races have a mouth, so that isn’t rly a issue.

All and all, i care more about getting new visage forms instead of more classes or fighting in visage form

Whats the point is fighting in visage form if tis just a lame elf, gimme my dragon tauren

510

When you tell me what you think that correlation is, I’ll answer your obviously off topic question.

511

No they aren’t. They’re saying “I don’t want to play Worgen but have to because the class I want to play can’t be anything else”. And even then, the option to play Worgen without being a werewolf already exists for the people who want it for every Worgen class except Druid who still have other options available.

If Evokers existed outside of Dracthyr, none of this is an issue and people could just play what they wanted rather than push for compromises. That said, Blizzard has made it clear that other races aren’t getting Evoker. It’s going to be tied to Dracthyr for a very long time, if not forever. So the options become;

A. Push for a compromise where everyone except hardcore purists get what they want through an optional permanent visage.

B. Just don’t play a class they like because the only race it’s tied to is ugly as sin.

Nah, you’ve said enough. I don’t need to ask any other questions. Have a good day.

Of course, have a good one :troll:

Everything would be so simple, easier and more popular if blizzard just had made what everyone wanted and theorized back then.

Just do like they have done in MOP, a race and a class, Drakonid and Dragonsworn, both established in lore and popular. a winged Drakonid with a new model, being able to be bulky and skinny, dragonsworn as a class by getting the aspects blessing.

the class should have 100% get dragon knight spec as a tank and another as DPS, firt class after druid to have 4 specs, it would be amazing.

It was so easy and simple, how did they F that up, by doing more work is beyond me, but hey, horde is getting rock dwarves instead of ogres, so maybe the current team is not into warcraft stuff

When worgens first came out players found a glitch to get out of the starting zone and never turn into worgen form which was patched quickly to auto give you worgen regardless.

516

YUS. :dagger: :crazy_face: :hocho:

Really wish we got more visage forms tho. :neutral_face:

Ok, the other option for everything but Druids is to just play a Human if they want to be Worgen without the werewolf. The gameplay is the exact same other than the racials and the starting zone, then everyone gets what they want. The problem is that Evokers can’t and will probably never be anything but Dracthyr.

So the options are to expand on existing mechanics with visage or just not play Evoker.

Its a shame, if evokers could use visage at all times i feel like it’d be one of te most played classes.
Having to look like that tho, forever doomed to being around rogues.

Eh, Evoker is fun. I genuinely like Aug for all the issues it creates balance wise. That said, Dracthyr are just butt ugly and people clamoring so hard for visage improvements is a result of there not being any other option available short of just not playing an otherwise enjoyable class.

At this point, just chop the wings/tail off the Dracthyr model, size them for visage, turn them transparent and “dragon magic-y” then just re-use all the animations that require them. The only things we’d be shifting back for at that point would be breaths. Dev would spend a lot of time in dragon form, but Aug/Pres could be pretty cool in mostly visage.

ok… but im not saying they should have changed how the class play, just how the class/race is designed.

It could play exactly the same, but as a separate class as dragonsworm, available to all races, and drakonid, the race, being able to be different classes

521

Those ascendance forms make me feel like shamans are now down with the clown being a Juggalo. Malinko the great clown is all I think seeing those forms and it’s hilarious.

Also give better drakthyr forms or better visage. Because holy crap they are just visually not great in either.

The dragon form is too skinny and can’t mog and the visage are a bunch of clown elf and human forms. Neither looks good.

Getting more players/subscribers to play evoker

  • Just take visage off the gcd so we can weave it as we please

This way you get more players coming in to the class who may not have done so because they didn’t like the dracthyr model. Some players are already using toys to simulate this.

The change would be purely optional, and existing players that love the dracthyr model won’t be impacted

It’s a win-win situation.

For consideration, please.

Always getting the short end of the stick.

Not interested since I don’t like the lizard form and don’t want to be a female human or a male belf. Dracthyr should have access to all races for visage form. Using the female human model to “better blend in” within the Horde is just… wow. So sry, but not allowing them to use all races is just dumb. Give them dragon eyes and keep the normal customizations. Done.
