The only reason i dont play spriest is bcs of shadowform, tmog keeps me playng this game, so thats huge for me, i wish blizzard wouldnt be so stubborn over everything

And here I thought people played classes for rotation and gameplay.


And some people also play just for loot. Yeah, boring.

I choose a class for more aspects than just the rotation. Imagine having no cast animations, no spell effects or, why not, no transmog. Just standing there doing numbers. Wow, gameplay.
So, apparently on PTR/Beta since the Shadowform rework, the glyph of shadows does absolutely nothing. Shame.

I just hope they really make the glyph to hide it.

Ignore Ben and his views he is a well known troll .

Shadowform is what we are about.

Don't use it and stare at your xmog 24/7. How much attention paying the way you look why in combat?

heh.

Ok, people with different opinions are trolls and they must be purged with holy fire.

Maybe you will grow up one day and understand people can actually have different opinion than yours.

Exactly... I mean, they are called SHADOW priests. It is part of their identity. What is next? Complaining Arms warrior have to yield melee weapons?
What annoys me most about Shadowform is how Blizzard seems to change it each and every expansion, multiple times even.

There was the original Shadowform which turned you into a complete purple blob, and if you were mounted, then your mount became a purple blob as well.

Then they figured out that part where your mount also became a purple blob didn't make sense (Shadow-spec'd Brown Horse?!) and it undermined the value of the mounts' skins (Bronze Drake, Blue Drake, Red Drake...all become Purple Blob Drake!). So they figured out how to isolate Shadowform to yourself only!

Then some players got annoyed, because they liked their Shadow-spec'd Brown Horse! Then they made a glyph that allowed your Shadowform to extend to mounts and pets as well.

Then players complained that with the new Transmogrification system that Shadowform was bothersome, because you could effectively not enjoy any of your armor appearances, because they all just turned into Purple Blob set once you switched Shadowform on (not an issue prior to Transmogrification, because everyone looked like clowns then, and Shadowform was kind of a blessing in that regard!).

So Blizzard made another glyph, one that changed Shadowform to be less purple, so it was more like a Purple Haze Shadowform as opposed to Purple Blob Shadowform.

Then they did a re-design of Shadow and introduced this thing called Void Form, and then they decided to remove Shadowform entirely.

Then some players complained, because they liked Shadowform, even if it had been reduced to nothing but a small, passive, visual buff over the years that didn't impact gameplay in any meaningful way.

So Blizzard added Shadowform back into the game. But they changed it so the default appearance was the Purple Haze Shadowform.

And at some point the glyph that should change the appearance of Shadowform stopped working and did nothing.

And now comes BfA, and seemingly some Blizzard designer had the idea of changing the default Shadowform again. So instead of the default being the Purple Haze Shadowform, then we're instead back to Purple Blob Shadowform.

…..It's a circus.

I am personally on team Purple Haze Shadowform, because I like to be able to see the armor set that I'm wearing.
I would wish Blizzard did an actual update on the appearance though, instead of just moving the gamma slider back and forth all the time. It seems a bit outdated by now.
Yes, yes And yess. Or give a shadow around us. Anything but being purple

Yes, Shadow Priests looks Shadow. Shocking.

Next time roll warlock or mage.

The only reason why I rolled SPriest because I was wondering in orgrimar with my first noob toon and I saw cool Shadow Priest with his cooler Shadow Drake mount.

These topics are the reason why we lost our very very nice DARK Shadow form into inferior !@#$ Void form.
He's asking for a GLYPH to make it optional. If you want it, you keep it. I don't so I won't, given the option.

That's all that's being asked for, the option.

Next time roll a race with eyes and a brain.

Do you even fully read the posts you are replying to or just trying to be funny with these childish comments?

These 'optional' things may became mandatory over time. It happened before, there were times when we had to wear glyph to be darker, because some people wanted to look at their transmogs.

This is our SHADOW thing. Don't ruin our main classes for many years and destroy every reason we loved about it with these requests.

Dafuq did I just read. Out of curiosity, which game did you play before with WoW, or currently playing with WoW?

This could be a bug, however I am not happy how we still require Glyph to make our mounts Shadow.

Unfortunately yes. I read your entire post.

Don't be stupid.

I feel like this hinges on the "Don't be stupid" thing from before.

Seriously though.

Stop.

It would be great to have a Glyph that removes the Shadow Look of Shadow Form.
Every Xmogg i developed for my Priest isnt really well shown to the effects of Shadow Form.

Void Form is another thing i would say dont remove that because its special Transformation, but it would be a pleasure, since the changes to Shadow Spell looking, the Glyph - Shadow has like no work anymore.


Be carefull what you ask for. Shadowform might became a CD just like Druids Tree of Life thing became a CD after they whined about not being able to see their armor and mogs in healing form.

That's not the case here, we already have the voidform, that makes the shadowform even less relevant as a "class indentity thing". It's like having multiple layers of tree of life.

Exactly the same as you are treating others in this post how ironic.

And since there is the voidform mechanic, there's no reason to have shadowform aswell. The "class indentity" as some call it is still there because of it. I just hope blizzard will notice this.

Let me guess. Only started Shadow Priest in late Legion? Because it was almost removed at the start of legion in favor of void form. It was barely visible, guess what happened that made Blizzard change their mind lol.

Majority wants this form. If you don't see it relevant, why do you play it on the first place? If you play it for mog then you have many other classes that wears cloths, heck you have two other priest specs you can see your mog in them.

Since MoP. Also, you cannot say stuff like "majority", you don't know it, nobody does. And yeah, I want to play a shadow priest, arguments like "go play holy" are really not enough.
