Blizz has explicitly stated they are dracthur and not dragonkin.
If you’ve played WoW you’d understand the differences.
The 1 rig to rule them all across a minimum of 2 genders and 2 factions is cutting corners, lazy, for the bottom line.
You are a special kind of weirdo to defend that, and moreso to try to blame a player paying for 2 accounts who has higher standards than you for it. And by-the-by, the person you were responding to is asking for the bare minimum. You’re advocating for something below that, which is what we currently have, a lackluster xpac below the bar.
People asked for dragonkin that can shapeshift into our own individual favourite mortal races, which is a very diverse cast. Try being honest to yourself, what you’re defending is steps backwards so far as quality, content, and progression.
Only by number, but it doesn’t dramatically change how they look in general.
They should’ve been customization options with racial bonus choices, to be quite honest.
For some, sure? Dracthyr already had some good things they could’ve based them off of, like Drakonids which people keep asking for. I think they could’ve gone with entirely different design choices for Dracthyr and especially give them more variation choices that made them really stand out between each other even if said choices were not locked to any specific ‘body type’ on the selection screen which is ALSO for some reason locked to their visage form.
I will point out they re-used female worgen rigging for the bottom half, IE legs and hips.
so do male and female cows, male and female fennec foxes, male and female wolves, male and female aliens, (yawn) male and female pandas.
Fortunately, this is a fantasy game where it is expected that artists use creative freedom that fits into the world it was created for, and in a formula that has worked for literally 19 years, longer than you’ve been alive I wager. So please figure out what quality gaming is, thanks. There’s tonnes of actually quality games out there for ya.
why? Can you try to stay on topic and leave your fet life outta the official forums please and thanks?
We went a decade with only male Tuskarr. They’re being more inclusive this time.
probably a lot of attention going to d4 and less to wow since its coming so soon and they need it to be good.
then again maybe that makes no sense at all. im not in the gaming industry.
I’m pretty sure you just explained why people should expect male and female versions of playable characters… but your other comments are trying to convince sane people that 1 model for both is better… you ok, bro?
people with no life or work experience will tell you they have separate teams and are mutually exclusive, but that is not the reality of running a business, or more appropriately, multiple media projects where skills certainly crossover to be applied.
That’s not remotely new. Several NPC races have had only male models in the past, usually because they’re non-mammalian, which makes it much harder to differentiate genders. I never see anyone complaining about a lack of boobs on arakkoa, jinyu, or ankoan.
They already gave you the tools to do exactly that. It’s not that hard to design a dracthyr with a distinctly masculine or feminine silhouette and face shape, and you get your choice of a male or female visage, which also determines their voice in both forms. As stated above, a lack of cleavage isn’t a deal breaker for most people because reptiles aren’t supposed to have it to begin with.
He wants to see the wiggly bits. What part of that did you not understand and get creeped out by?
Or maybe I’m wrong and he just wants a bow like ms pacman
None of those are playable and none of them have very differing visage forms as well as 2 selectable body types on the char selection screen.
Since you used it for your other argument, how do you differentiate ‘masculine or feminine silhouette and face shape’?
Before I quit playing, all dracthur looked the exact same aside from those who picked popping colours: they’re all too big, their mounts are too big, and they all prance around. Dracthur are literally all playing the same NPC and pushing away diversity and inclusion.
You mean the Twilight Spitecaller? Same thing, two more legs, fresh from being a mortal race. The evolution of the Dragon Isles denizens over the centuries, however, also seems to agree that mammaries on an egg-laying scaled creature is silly. Maybe if they’d evolved into giant platypuses or something.
Deathwing modeled the Dracthyr with the traits of mortal races for combat purposes, not fanservice.
I can. I’m not so weirdly fragile about booba. I play a lot of Charr in GW2. Never go there, tiny fuzzy fox. Your head would probably explode.
Sure you don’t want me to hop on my Dracthyr? You really seem to want me to hop on my Dracthyr, for some equally weird proof of something or another?
Yeah, you’re shorter, have cute little boopable noses, and have tails. I don’t know how that figures into the conversation on reptiles, but go off. 
Sweetie, I’ve played for much of my adult life. I realize that you’re upset that you can’t get your own way, but they’re dragonkin.
That’s not what the Lore says, sorry.
You’re free to link the lore that states that.
Ah yes, more Azeroth races- wait a minute that’s from Earth.
Yeah, as frail spellcasters apparently, despite the cinematics we were shown. Lmao.
You’re strangle fragile about the opposite, clearly.
You’re proving my point further, not disproving it.
Sure, it’ll give me another character name to associate to you so I can avoid you.
All the more reason for their looks to be changed to be more in line with other Dragonkin.
Yeah, in their visage forms it’s easy to tell they’re male and female…just like the dracthyr. In their true forms? Other than the jewelry on Alex and Ysera, nothing really screams ‘female’ to me (gladly point me to the invisible breasts or long eyelashes I’m apparently missing on female dragons (in dragon form) that people like you seem to think should be on female Dracthyr. If your girlfriend wants to play a female Dracthyr, she can make one and look super girly when she’s walking around in her visage form.
Dracthyr are essentially dragons, dragons are basically reptiles, and reptiles don’t exhibit the same type of sexuality dimorphism that mammals do. Most notably female reptiles do not have boobs or any other form of breasts, and as such Dracthyr are fine as is and should not be changed.
Omitting something that shouldn’t even exist on the first place is not laziness, it’s common sense.
Once you leave the portal room and start dragonflight, you’ll see this is one of the more high effort xpacs to date.
You missed the point entirely.
But if I go into it further, CM’s will probably suspend me. lol
Lizards. Do. Not. Have. Boobs.
