BLIZZARD! why soar 30% nerf change makes no sense!

tried to list as many quotes from people also discussing the issue with me

The argument that Soar is a “racial” ability and is overpowered compared to other racial abilities fails in my opinion. This is because Dracthyr and Evokers are mutually exclusive. You can essentially consider every Evoker class ability a racial ability and every Dracthyr racial ability a class ability.

This is sadly a true statement.

Allowing Drakthry to maintain their extensive list of racial perks is a sign that their class options will never be expanded past evoker. Even with Soar nerfed they are far ahead of any other race.

I personally hate this idea for race design and think that it is a horrible design path for the game

@Milkdatbow-wyrmrest-accord

Oh yeah, man. Because the ability to fly without being able to stop or you enter a 5 MINUTE LONG COOLDOWN, is so overpowering. Especially in older content, you know, which at level 60, ANY OTHER RACE OR CLASS can absolutely destroy because chromie time is disabled. Unless, of course, it’s Shadowlands. Which you’re not going to be able to fly in anyway without getting a whistle. You’re like Pinky from Pinky and the Brain: NERF! If only you and Blizzard could be the Brain, we might not have to deal with really nonsensical comments on nonsensical design choices.

@Puré-area-52

I agree with you. Blizzard this is not the way to get your players back. A 5 min cool down that can not be used in combat, instances, or “transmog runs”. For world pvp, Druid’s flight form has more impact and power over Soar. You have an awful reputation for nerfing fun and here you are holding onto that reputation. You want to show the community you changed, that we should play your games? Then make things better not worse.

People want to move fast, people want to teleport everywhere, nobody wants to look upon the old world as they fly from point A to Point B, which is why afking and auto running on flying or afking on flight path is so common. People get up or tab out because no one cares. Anyone who agree’s to this nerf has no idea how soar works. We have people commenting this would be broken in battlegrounds, it doesn’t even work in instances why are you taking peoples feedback like that?

The majority of people who are unhappy about this are people who won’t touch dracthyr in the first place or never cared about the soar feature. And if by some weird chance they did they are a very small minority. I thought you “gave up” on appeasing the 1% and you were gonna commit more to “the silent majority” yet here you are doing the exact opposite. Its like you’re actively trying to piss off your audience and kill your game.

People want dragon flying in old world content, people want all their flying mounts to be able to “Dragon fly”, so will you buff soar when you let dragon flying in the old world after the next expansion comes out or will you keep soar nerfed then too? You’re not thinking about the longevity of your game again which got to the mass exodus in the first place.

People want normal flying to have increased speeds too but you haven’t buffed them since cata, soar / dragonflying is the answer to that but you’re already nerfing one and keeping the other limited to the new zones this will not make players happy or be loyal to you.
