You’ve never had it, so who cares

Providing feedback to changes during the testing phases is part of the process, that’s how it works. I’m in Alpha, have tested the Soar ability before and after the changes. I’ve offered my feedback in the Alpha forum as to why I didn’t like the change.

So when you say, “Who cares”, Blizzard does, they ask us to provide this type of feedback.

I also care. If you don’t, that’s absolutely fine, but you don’t speak for every one.

And neither does the community council and judging by Blizz’s response in that forum they really aren’t that interested in feedback

That being said, abilities in alpha are just tuning and not a nerf. None of these things are live or affect anyone’s current gameplay

Yes I have

You should then know the difference between throwing a fit and giving an opinion.

@Simplyred-hydraxis

what that has to do with not letting you have the echo chamber you desire.

I like it when people come and express their point of view. What I don’t appreciate is people coming to cause unrest and demean others because they don’t agree with their views, like you are doing here.

It’s a nerf. Learn the definition.

Is the Evoker in game right now? No. Is soar available in game right now? No. Has anyone in game been using soar as a racial in SL? No.

This is tuning on an unreleased class and race in alpha before it’s released to the live servers and affects players. This ability is in no way a nerf for anyone in game right now.

Is the Evoker in game right now? No. Is soar available in game right now? No. Has anyone in game been using soar as a racial in SL? No.

Does the definition of the term “nerf” specify whether the version of the game has to be live, alpha or beta? No.

It’s a nerf in alpha.

It’s still a nerf.

If you have an opinion about whether you agree with the nerf or not, go ahead and express it.

Nerfing fun is just par for the course.

I doubt they would give both, maybe a lesser cooldown but giving one class triple speed in all non-df zones would be a bit much.

[Elysele-pagle]

Yeah I doubt it myself, but I want to be sure they know what we want, because I just know they won’t give it to us. So they’ll try to find some sort of compromise.

I wouldn’t mind the speed being further nerfed if that meant a 0 min cooldown, or its speed to remain untouched, but the cooldown reduced to 1-2 mins.

I’d find that acceptable.

Guys please try to maintain the conversation in the megathread so as not to spam too much the forums, thanks:

Official Soar/Dragon Riding Mega Thread!

I started this post a week ago in response to the soar 30% nerf. As you can see, the community has exploded on the GD, as well as, the alpha forum channel and many alpha testers have been providing great video feedback on how it feels currently. Please keep utilizing this thread as a focal point of discussion and thank you. For starters: Here is an amazing video pre-nerf and what the community could be experiencing: [Dracthyr Flying Through Some Danger Zones (Pre-nerfs)] Here a…

Right if it were slightly faster than a flying mount at top speed (to make up for needing to get to speed) with a 0 cooldown or even like 1 minute that would be good.

[Fuzzbutt-zuljin]

I’m playing in alpha right now and I can’t fly to save my life. It feels like the starting zone and all that was made for the faster soar but then it got nerfed it feels weird.
