Is it too much to ask for changing arcane shot to fx. dark shot and maybe give aimed shot a shadowy appearance just to make the darkranger spec more immersive?

Short answer? Yes.
They had decades to theme skills using glyphs, they didnât. They sure as heck wonât bother for TWW

I was expecting Dark Ranger to be this:
- Serpent sting becomes shadow damage
- Arcane shot becomes shadow damage (Dark Shot or somethin of the sortâŚ)
- Your petâs auto attacks become shadow damage
- All shadow damage increased by 10%
and go from there.
What we got instead was:
- You maintain a shadow dot called Black Arrow
- This dot has a chance to reset the cooldown of Aimed shot
Enjoy your dark ranger!

You act like this is a bad thing, but in reality none of your âexpectationsâ change gameplay in absolutely anyway whatsoever.
At least what we actually got what some minor gameplay changes. Far better than just making a few random spells do shadow damage which changes gameplay in 0 way.
I said âand go from thereâ, meaning start with a visual change to all magic spells to shadow damage, and implement the gameplay changes on top of that

Your suggestion are MUCH better, seeing they are more passive in their effects. 
Adding additional bloat, by including extra procs and spells, makes the game lean even further towards min-maxers.
This is btw Covenants all over again, from Shadowlands⌠
Hero talents wonât âgive you the choice of a class fantasyâ⌠There WILL be a more optimal hero tree⌠Just like there were a âmore optimal covenantââŚ
Hero talents should have been purely cosmetic. 
Gameplay shouldnât be changed majorly. All that should be changed, should be passive effects, and visual overhauls to match the fantasies the Hero talents reflect.
And yes, Iâm aware that we werenât promised visual overhauls. However it is a much better idea, as well as during Blizzcon they focused on demonstrating the visual changes, during the âWarrior demoâ⌠which is why some people got the impression that hero talents were as much visual overhauls.

Whether they end up being related to Dark Ranger or not, hunter is in dire need of more glyphs.

Thing is⌠when you call this Dark Ranger⌠you kinda expect what i wrote earlier⌠i mean its almost strange to NOT expect these things⌠its naturally where our brain goes when they got announced right?.. we expect new animations new effects and stuff⌠Any other company that adds these things would do that⌠Blizzard does the bare minimum almost everytime.
God i hope im wrong 
Why yâall acting as if we donât have the âdark rangerâ playable alreadyâŚ? Blood elves would like a word.
The hero talents make this immersion official, or what?
