I love evoker. All 3 specs, even though aug is dominating the meta. What I don’t love is the arbitrary choice of forcing us to use dragon form for certain spells. I’ve seen the arguments left and right on here, reddit, discord etc. Yes it “makes sense” for a dragon to do a breath ability, but we’re playing in a game that doesn’t have to make sense because of all the quirky things magic, potions and inventions let us come up with.
If we want to talk about other things making sense or not, how come lightforged Draenei can use fel magic to be warlocks now? I’m sure there are other inconsistencies with accuracy that more seasoned players have brought up that I can’t think of at the moment. If an atomic recalibrator toy can let me be a Tauren that flies over my enemies shooting fire breath on them, then you can make the visage form do that as well.
The real end game (imo) is transmog and if you don’t ramp up the transmog for dragon form 1000% then I think this is going to be an issue that keeps coming up.
Beaten to death sure, but I still think it’s something they should work on or fix. It’s one thing if they say tough luck and that’s how it is across the board, but their design philosophy is inconsistent and based on that I think it’s fair to keep asking them to give the players an option to toggle what they want to see at the least.
Not asking for a toy for fun, just lock down visage. It already works with spell even though it doesn’t look “natural.” They just need to flip a switch or two.
Pretty sure they don’t want that, hence chosen identity. That is our compromise.
In combat or soar, you’re in dragon form and out of combat it automatically switched you back. They want you to be in dragon form in combat for evoker.
Fun fact: chosen identity was so popular for the dracthyr evokers, worgen players wanted it very badly as well and got it.
I still have hopes for a glyph that will allow Visage form in combat. That’s why I worked really hard to reach 1800 with my Evoker. That elite set is really cool.
I agree with the topic, and a lot of people really want it, just a few people that cannot handle the truth that their so called “dragon” is actually so ugly that evoker is almost dead except for augvokers.
I think it’s funny when people say this topic is beaten to death but also imply everything is fine as is.
Anyway, I made this topic before seeing one in general discussion. If people don’t think a change is needed that allows both sets of players to be satisfied, then why bother commenting? Having a choice to toggle visage in combat or not will not affect current players that are happy.
Of course not, I just would like to know how players having more options hurts anybody that doesn’t like visage form in combat. That’s the only thing I find strange arguing against.
Still didn’t answer my question though, adding to the oddity. How does allowing everyone to choose their preferred appearance impact gameplay?
Interesting how personal opinion works.
I’ve never once said players should be locked into perma visage and never once said the opinion of dracthyr form looking good for others is “wrong.” If it comes off implied, that’s never been my intent. Players should have a toggle (like dracthyr warrior, rogue, priest etc).
Someone else chimed in about that somewhere. Maybe in this thread or another one. They said seeing someone jump in and out of Visage ruins their fantasy about the character.
I didn’t say it was a great argument. Only that different people have different opinions.
Actually, I’m on your side. I just accept that some will have different opinions and that, ultimately, someone is going to be disappointed.
