Suggestions/Comments: With 'Mountain of Eternal Winter: Part Two' on the way (at some point) I hope you will update Drakania and Guardian (appearance, quests, and mechanics).
Appearance: Since Drakania and Guardian are DRAGONS (they were created by dragons, Guardian by Labreska and Drakania by Markthanan. They even call them mother 'Omua' and father respectively), they should have draconic features (horns, tails, and wings) in character creation (optional). Drakania especially is proud of her heritage, she's also done hiding.
Quests: Drakania's quests should also be more immersive. She should NOT be doing quests for humans. They slaughtered her kin, she loathes them. Instead, her quests should be focused on heralding the return of the 'Paradise of Dragons.' Such as searching for leads on survivors, maybe freeing (Guardian should have the option to kill) the Black Dragon(s) held captive in Gahaz Bandit's Lair (it is really out of character for Drakania to just run past her kin who is captured and suffering at the hands of humans), as well as freeing her father (Markthanan) and maybe do quests for him, and free the dragon that served Jordine (Balmorn) it doesn't make sense that the Black Dragon should travel with Lando after completing Mountain of Eternal Winter. Maybe she could have him as a mount (like Tamer with Heuklang). Or at least have him as a character she can interact with. She (as well as Guardian) should have special interactions or dialogue with ANYTHING related to dragons (such as that dragon statue at that alter/tower near Heidel as well as the statue of Labreska in Eilton), as well as dragons themselves, ect. Black Spirit should also recognize them as dragons and stop refering to them as humans (for Drakania it's just insulting). The people in Drieghan should also recognize them (especially Drakania given their...history) as well as the Mountain of Eternal Winter region. It would help with immersion (which is important for a lot of people, it helps them connect with their characters which keeps them engaged in the game longer). Please implement their lore/story better and make it easier to understand.
Mechanics: Drakania and Guardian should be able to actually FLY! Drakania has wings (which were unbound during her Awakening story). She should be able to use them for more than just partial gliding or sprinting (on the ground no less). Even if it's outside of combat only. Let it be a viable travel mechanic. Maybe with the same speed and mechanics (where you'd have to stop and rest off and on to replenish your stamina) as Heuklang. A dragon using a mount (especially a prey animal) just seems weird to me. Which remindes me, whatever happened to the dragon mount we were supposed to have? The one discussed at last year's Calpheon Ball...
It'd also be nice if Drakania had her wings in BOTH specs (Awakened and Succession) allowing her to glide/fly with either setup. She should at least be able to use her wings with her main weapon (Slayer) if you're currently Awakened. It's a bit irritating to swtich to her Awakened weapon just to glide. She should also be able to glide over water...
I just feel that your non-human races/classes should look and feel less human. Make them truly unique.
Allow Drakania and Guardian to fully embrace their Draconic heritage!
yes please
I would love for her to be more dragon than person. Guardian too.

Yes I would love for the Guardian to be included as well. I feel the 'Dragon Aspect' part of her gets overlooked or ignored. She's just as much dragon as Drakania. I would love to have an all out Black Dragon character vs a Gold Dragon character. Be a TRUE representation of Labreska vs Markthanan. Both classes having dragon blood in them (being created specifically from dragons), they look too human. Which is fine for those who want them to blend in better I suppose. But give options for those who want them to look more like their dragon counterparts or creators. Something to really get the point across that they are not humans. I understand them not being able to transform into their dragon form (even though that'd be badass) due to obvious reasons. Just have some character creation options for them (wings, tails, horns). And tweak some of their skills, and allow 'Dragon Flight' to be a viable way to travel for both classes.
Bonus Note: I really wish they'd work on the current classes before coming out with new ones. They've got really cool classes already. Capitalize and really focus on what makes each class unique. In Drakania and Guardian's case it's their heritage or dragon lineage. However, if and when they do inevitably come out with a new class hopefully its a dragon male. Since both current dragon classes are female. With the same draconic customization options. It'd only be fair. Maybe a red dragon? Plus if they ever come out with flight content how cool would it be to enable Drakania and Guardian to actually fly?
Really want those options for Guardian too!
Hopefully this ends up on the adventure board
