Why no tmogs on Evoker?

Community General Discussion

So far all new races have been restricted to a humanoid like form, I assume that is for cosmetic reasons, and to save on animation.

Now they introduce a new race, which gear doesn’t show up om… Well, why the f… is it a boring humanoid dragon then!!!

They could have made it beastly, four legged, or even a dragon looking like the other dragons in the game.
Since class and race is tied to each other, and they don’t have to care for how tmogs will fit, this was the perfect oppurtunity to give us a super unique race. Instead we get a another human like creature, but with huge wings it can only use once every 4 minutes, and no way to make a proper transmog.

Rant over, I’m just a little disappointed… I value the visuals of my characters quite a lot, and having my character completely hidden by wings 99% of the times feels bad.

My biggest disappointment here, is that we can’t MOG our Dracthyr and have both forms look good…??? :sweat_smile:

Either we:

  • MOG our Visage form, and ruin our Dragon form, since the MOG clips with our barber options.
  • Remove belt/shoulder MOG to “fix” Dragon form, which ruins our Visage form.

I mean… There has GOT to be an explanation on why they did it like this. :joy:

Why give us shoulder and belt MOG at the barber for our Dragon form… And then decide that it should clip with our MOG?? :sweat_smile: It’s SUCH a strange decision.

This was my solution.

I don’t like the visage much anyway so there’s that, but I’d still rather it not look like a pile of excrement.

I actually love the fact i dont have to care about tmog. But prolly should be optional.

Dracrhyrs only have 1 form, what are you talking about?.

Ikr, it just ads to this class race feels messy.

Not being able to see gear/transmogg is one of the main reasons ill probably not play the class. It’s an RPG where the gear, transmoggs you earn and how you look is a major factor.
It’s odd they spent so much time on racial visual customization when that’s one of the most irrelevant features about one’s character. People don’t care about your skin color, eye color or tattoos/markings, or how many horns or fins are protruding from your @ss…they care about armor and transmogg, it has a measure of prestige - that’s what WoW has always been well defined in since Classic days, even when you looked funky with mixed items.

Armor/transmogg is what defines a character, its visual appeal…the perception, not racial features. Precisely why Drakthyr suck in that regard and are quite unappealing visually. If you could see transmogg on them id definitely fall in love, but as it stands its a big turn off.

Tbf they should of let you ‘mog’ the two different shapes seperately.

One of the better things they did with this race. Wish they would have done the same with, at least, some Worgen classes and make their worgen form look more like a werewolf than a, well, furry. The game has several animal people, I’m aware, but there’s something wrong about seeing a worgen with a top hat.

That would be the most ideal perfect solution. :slight_smile:

how is this much different then druid though you can’t really mog druids as well since you spend most of your time in forms

I don’t mind it tbh. I am in visage mode most the time anyways. The group getting 2% hp every 2 seconds out of combat is too good to pass up

Okay, now I know the value. All the more worth using the visage, but I hope we get this for our mana as well for Preservation. :smile:

On topic, the dragon form armor is a transmog in itself. Would be better if nothing showed there and the transmog was reserved for Visage only.

The only thing that bothered me with mogging an Evoker was the fact that the belt and shoulders affect both forms rather than having them separate.

Saying that, I reached a Dracthyr dragon form mog I’m happy with.

Thanks, the trust level system is yet another joke of the forums.

I agree with the premis but they could probably do with reducing the requirements to hit TL3 and some reliable way of seeing your progress.

Better would be to have a base level where everyone can post pics/links and a switch to turn off that functionality for a set period of time for those who abuse it or permanently for those who can’t be trusted with it.
