Honestly, I still think Blizz should have approached the evokers the same way they did older demonology warlocks where you shifted in and out of meta a lot. Visage form by default, then shift to dragon during moments of high power. Makes it feel like dragon form is unleashing your true strength. Then everyone that loved the dragon form could have lobbied for a permanent dragon glyph or something, and we would have cheered you on until everyone was happy. Really, I would be all for giving people what they want even if i wasnât going to op in myself.
Given the sheer discrepancy between the customization of the two forms, it wouldnât surprise me if that was the case at some point the design. The dragon form just feels so slapped together and the lack of tmog is just inexcusable. Unrelatedly, where are my infinite flight colors? Considered I leveled my current evoker in Panda Remix, that would have perfect.
Regardless, if they approached it from the angle from the visage as default, then it would have also open the door to other race visage fairly easily. Like you choose whatever race as normal in creation, but then choosing evoker just means you were really a dragon this whole time. It creates so many opportunities for players to come up with their ideal character story.
Alas, we are saddled with⊠whatever you want to call this situation.
i would be so much better with this as it doesnt ruin my transmog which is all i really care about.
this is why i refer to them as a lazy design poor execution or the mcdonalds at home lizard. it doesnt feel like a fully fleshed out thought just something that was slaped together at the last min.
Visage is a race thing and it doesnât work like that for ANY race. Worgens canât be humans in combat, VElves canât unvoid their passives when it procs, Mechagnomes always have a metal body part, Highmountain Taurens will always have distinguishable horns and so it goes. You choose Dracthyr because either you wanna play Evoker or you wanna be a dragon, not because you wanna be a mildly scaled humanoid with horns and dyed hair.
I agree thatâs stoopid, Iâm okay for not gathering while Soaring but wouldnât mind being added too, but truly a 10s for a mount up is literally unecessary.
But honestly, I would rather like them to spend their resources on fixing the class design of Evoker instead of the comestic changes for Dracthyr. They wonât make visage work in combat because of clarity and they want dragons to be dragons, there are plenty of humanoid races to choose from, why make a dragon for it to be mostly humanoid anyway?
Just have to take the time to say I agree with PBâthat allowing the option of permanent visage would be a great way to address this âissue.â That being said, you seem to be deliberately making this a personal issue. How does someone elseâs perma-visage decision (or even just having the option) directly affect you if you arenât interacting with them?
Have a evoker alt, the soar to me makes no sense, race with natural wings needs to âcastâ their soar and it sucks compared to regular mounts and especially against the druid⊠why was this a design decision? was it as simple as âlets make sure its not the same as druidsâ different for differences sake? lammeee⊠I especially hate landing and having to recast it and still have a 10 or 5 sec cd (which atleast thats better than when they launched) but still hella annoying and pointless⊠druids who SHAPE SHIFT INTO A BIRD dont deal with this crap.
What bugs me the most about the whole âyou choose a dragon classâ argument is that if you like the class design, itâs the only choice you have.
Your transmogs are just non existent in dragon form, except for shoulders which often doesnât fit well because your transmogs are usually made to match visage form.
If an entire class is to be restricted to one race, then we should at least get to fight in visage form permanently.
I get transforming for Deep Breath or Verdent Embrace, but other than that abilities should be given visage form animations, including hover.
Because they are narcissistic control freaks who canât tolerate differing opinion. Iâm here because I want what most people want, character esthetic options. Instead weâre being dragged into manifestos about how dracthyr females arenât sexy enoughâŠ
Player feedback is how this game has gotten better. There was a time when transmogs didnât exist and you couldnât alter your characterâs look after you created them. And back then there was always contrarian incels saying:
âIf you equipped an item, thatâs the look you get, live with it.â Or âYou want to change your haircut, make a new character!â
If these people had their way, the game would never improveâŠ
Priest are hardly in the same situation and it also exists a glyph so you can look at your character in shadow form.
There was also a time when resto druid were forced in tree of life and Blizzard removed it for both gameplay reasons and visual diversity.
