I think this is my least favorite part of WoW. A Dragon who is supposed to be this grand and majestic creature in fantasy is reduced down to just another human.
What’s worse is the human form is what we interact with 24/7.

You can always get an upgrade and go Gnome form like Chromie.

Dracthyr aren’t dragons. They’re experiments on dragonmen, dragonkin and human properties mixed with the power of the Aspects.

I never mentioned dracthyr. But I also include them in Dragons.

So you’re upset over something that’s been part of dragon lore since day one?
Okay then.

I did read the post. But you’re posting on a Dracthyr whining about Visage. Never in my 18 years of playing have I heard anyone complain about the dragonflights being in a mortal form. But there’s plenty of ranting about “Dracthyr are dragons and Visage was dumb.”

Well now you have. It’s specially dumb how in their homeland in dragonflight, theyre only in dragon at the very top of the building where no one can see them. And the dragon aspects are just humans everywhere else speaking for dragons.

Maybe you should read the lore and books to understand why. It might help you.
Have a nice night.

I think you’re exaggerating. I think it’s only the second worst idea. First would be adding Dracthyr. Third is Vulpera.

Vulpera at least got the cute factor

i agree…it humanized them too much, so they lost a lot of their magic imo.
I liked the visage form when used in terms of Nefarian and Onyxia, and to a certain degree, MoP with Wrathion…but they went way overboard. I saw them in visage form more often than dragons in DF…huge disappointment.
I also think dragons even speaking to us regularly was a bit too much, and also destroyed a big part of the fantasy for me too…I think them having a bit of a wild side made them harder for us to understand, and therefore a bit more scary/unpredictable.
But seems the current writers want everyone to mimic IRL earth humans, especially when it comes to their (character’s) morals. It just boils down to really really weak writing. Nobody can be truly bad, or evil.
Tolkien did dragons right imo, but the dragonflight writers did not.

Good point. Plus, they have that sleep animation.
Visages aren’t an issue its just in DF blizzard used them a bit to much and we didn’t get much content with the dragons actually being dragons lol. All of DF and we got a single cinematic with dragons fighting and most of the other ones dragons were in visage form talking.

I dont wanna put the whole blame on current writers though, I think people jump to that way too fast. In the end, this is something that was established by the OG writers of WoW.
So why do i always have to talk to Alexstrazaʻs toe claw when turning in quests?
Much of Warcraft lore is based on Dungeons & Dragons, in which dragons have been known to take on humanoid forms since nearly the beginning in the '70s.
Being a big dragon is quite simply often inconvenient in both practical and narrative terms.

Dragons having visage forms has been in the lore since at least Day of the Dragon. With both Deathwing and Korialstrasz using them for their own agendas.
Hell one of Warcrafts best written villains is a dragon who used her visage form and nearly brought down a whole Kingdom to the ground by doing so.

it was definitely not as overdone as Dragonflight though…we all played vanilla…dragons were dragons.
alexstraza is an elf now
