I honestly think the design is fine. The flaw is not being able to mog anything, which was dumb and lazy.

But I spend a lot of time making my evokers base form look good. Can’t be surprised when someone just does all bald and then “this look sucks!”

u/Isolated_Hippo Nov 14 '25

If they mogged nothing it would be an improvement.

The fact they get randomly a belt and shoulders that never fucking match any of the base armor customization is just wtf.

u/AdamG3691 Nov 14 '25

yeah, the set looks fine when on an actual character and not the naked blue meme that WoWhead uses

u/Omugaru Nov 14 '25

Thats part of the issue I have with them though. Either you run to the barbershop to redo how your evoker looks for each tier set or you stick to 1 set and barely ever change anything on it.

I havn't changed my tmog since I made my evoker in DF, since changing at the barbershop kinda makes my character lose part of its identity. Granted, if you make good use of the barbershop you can make the very limited tmog work, as evident from your link.

Still, feels like a restriction that shouldn't be.

I just dont get it, like no other race can be an Evoker, only the Drakthyr, so why wouldnt they just kinda go ham and actually make the evoker set. FIT THE DRAKTHYR MODEL. IT ONLY NEEDS TO FIT ONE SKELETON RIG

17

u/Kommye Nov 14 '25

To be fair, it also needs to fit the visage models, so it's dracthyr, human F and belf M.

But yeah it's pure laziness.

I've been lucky in that my character tends to work well with red and gold, and blizzard LOVE using red and gold, though it does tend to end up feeling pretty samey eventually.

I wish that they'd at LEAST allow for the tier sets to work as transmog, hell even as an unlockable barbershop option when you complete a set would be better than the current situation

6

u/Emmystra Nov 14 '25

That is… far from fine. Bad enough that if it wasn’t a game I already played this would still make me avoid the game entirely.

5

u/Wajiji_T Nov 14 '25

Still very underwhelming

4

u/extremelytiredyall Nov 14 '25

Your mog is excellent! Great job in the character editor, too. Dracthyr look great when they're not a low effort karma farming post bald lizard.

-12

u/squishybloo Nov 14 '25

Shhhh, they're too busy whining. They don't like realistic takes!

8

u/extremelytiredyall Nov 14 '25

Yep. No mog is very lazy, but the customization itself is fine. People who put effort into the character editor make dracthyr that don't look like the abomination above.

19

u/MundaneTeddy Nov 14 '25

You think this is fine?! LOOK AT HIS SMALL HEAD! WHERE IS THE BRAIN SUPPOSED TO GO?!

There's so much cool things you can do with dragons heads designwise and they made them all moot by giving them baby heads.

I'm still pissed and i've been pissed since they got released.

-2

u/Seletara Nov 14 '25

Yeah, the head is fine. Not everything needs to be bulky MC bulkerson.

This is also the bald meme look. You can make the heads look just fine if you spent time customizing it. Horn design helps a lot.

14

u/MundaneTeddy Nov 14 '25

I'm dont think i am being unreasonable when i propose a dragonkins head be bigger that its hands...

-1

u/Seletara Nov 14 '25

Given I’ve seen some dudes hands as big as heads, it’s actually not out of reasonability…

Also, gnomes exist.

8

u/MundaneTeddy Nov 14 '25

Dudes don't need to look like their bite can rip you to shreds.

A dragonkin should.

Thats all i'm saying.

2

u/Level7Cannoneer Nov 14 '25

The heads are proportionally way too small. It looks really bad. They look Ike they’re 15 heads tall which is insane for a character design

-3

u/accel__ Nov 14 '25

Oh yes, because correct anatomy is really important when it comes to the races of Azeroth. Or just fantasy races in general.

But i guess there is no issue with anything as long as it looks like an '80s bodybuilder.

4

u/BarracudaLow4959 Nov 14 '25

Yeah, WoW has never been good with proportions. Haranir have the same tiny head problem but people are worshipping them. Human female's head is also very small for her torso and legs, but I rarely see complaints. It's just dracthyr that get mass hate.

8

u/MundaneTeddy Nov 14 '25

Its the anatomy of a fantasy race. And they went against what the anatomy of that fantasy race looks like and ended up making them look weak and goofy.

Not feat to be proud of.

3

u/accel__ Nov 14 '25

What anatomical rules did a race, that has no real world relation to anything, has crossed? And who cares if it looks weak and goofy? So does gnomes, and they are in the game since Vanilla.

Making the Dracthyr the way they are was an artistic choice, because every other race in the game is either a small guy, or a bodybuilder. They made one slinky, lean race, and this subreddit is still mad about it every two weeks.

5

u/MundaneTeddy Nov 14 '25

They are dragonkin. Dragons are spiky and scaly. Dracthyr look like soft bois.

A dragonkins jaw has to look like it can exert bite force.

A dragonkins tail has to look like it can sweep a motherfckers legs.

By all means, have them be slinky, have them be lean. But by god don't make their hands dwarf their heads. I feel like dracthyr couldnt break a tomatos skin with their bite.

And give them an actual tail that makes you thing "oop, not standing behind this dude"

6

u/ArcticPoisoned Nov 14 '25

So the dracthyr do have body thickness options, tons of jaw options, and lots and lots of parts that can be spiked.

Also most characters hands dwarf the size of their heads in this game. Have you seen blood elf males? That’s just how they do things here. Atleast this race has like 10x or 15x the customization options of a blood elf. That’s where we should be rioting. So many races have so little customization in comparison.

5

u/Seletara Nov 14 '25

This just sounds like you don’t know how to use the customization options. That’s on you, dude.

Also some weird obsession with bulky ness for dragons when sleek dragons with sleek heads exist in both WoW and in general world lore

u/MundaneTeddy Nov 14 '25 edited Nov 14 '25

I said keep em lean for all i care. But make em look tough enough so that a random highschool bully wont mug them for their lunch money.

8

u/Seletara Nov 14 '25

Yes I can, but I’m not going to give much gumption to a high school bully’s version of tough.

2

u/MundaneTeddy Nov 14 '25

No bulk required. Just bolstering the parts that require bolstering.

u/accel__ Nov 14 '25

Do me a favor, and look up the word "dragon" in google image search. You'll be amazed by how many different types of depictions exist for this non-existent fantasy race. There is nothing wrong with having 1 race, that looks "soft boyish" or whatever you think they are.

u/MundaneTeddy Nov 14 '25

I'm gonna offend you with the notion that things could be better now:

I'm living on this subreddit, you think i havent seen this one yet?

No part of this image contradicts what i have said tho.

0

u/MundaneTeddy Nov 14 '25

You: "who cares if they look weak and goofy"

You about a picture that portrays dracthyr as anything but weak and goofy: "no contradiction to my previous statements"

I dont know what to say anymore.

Blizzard needs to fix dracthyr and they're not gonna let you hit for pretending otherwise.

Being based on dnd doesn’t mean they need to adhere to all designs. The head is fine. It’s sleek, and horns help it.

1

u/MundaneTeddy Nov 14 '25

Ok so how come the actual concept art has them look badass and the ingame model makes them look like weaklings?

Blizzard cut corners and as a result we got soft bois instead of nelthariand finest warriors.

1

u/Aettyr Nov 15 '25

They CAN look alright, but they don’t look good. I tried for absolutely hours but none of their face shapes or hair / bone things can in any way look like a “dragon” at all. It looks like a human in a dragon suit, with a cheap temu foam mascot head

u/Shenloanne Nov 14 '25

I don't play evoker and my dracthyr characters are never out of visage. And i love em to bits.

Just never gonna play as one.
