I was in an old raid today with a druid and I was VERY UPSET to find out I could not jump on the back of a druid in travel form like usual. Did something change with this? Is this game even worth playing if I cannot ride on random druids in my raid?
Very scared!
Patch notes are your friend 
Can’t carry passengers in travel form any more. Has to be the stag form. Druids need to go learn/buy it if they haven’t already had that form.
and while yes, travel form is a stag, stag form is different in the sense that you won’t automatically switch to flying/water forms when under the correct circumstances
Easy fix
Your druid friend filed a restraining order against you over riding on his back so many times.
Where do we buy the Stag form?
Dreamgrove
They finally added consent to WoW.
Moonglade also works – one of the vendor NPCs in one of the buildings should have a bunch of druid only tomes to purchase, one of which is stag Mount form.
Please tell me this form doesn’t actually change the looks of your travel form, I just spent 3 day grinding 8 hour sessions to unlock Zandalari trolls and I don’t wanna dismiss that hard work because Blizzard decided that using these new forms they made would make too much sense
because if they actually decided to make that decision then I guess nobody will ever ride my back
I’m assuming it doesn’t change the default form (in this case the raptor) since it just describes it as “a mountable version of your ground travel form”
Nope, it stays the ground mount form. But there’s a difference between Travel form and Mount form.
Travel form will change automatically on its own according to the context youre in.
Mount form will stay as the ground mount regardless
Okay so I can still be my raptor boi?
If that’s default, yes
Okay I thought when people said “stag form” that meant if I wanted somebody to ride on my back I would have to be the actual stag. Which would suck.
Ah sorry. For your main Druids (Tauren, Troll, Night Elf), default is stag form for all 3 (slight variations but all 3 still stag)
Ah well I’m playing a Zandalari with their raptor travel form, that’s why I was asking if it would change that to a default stag or not. Thank goodness it doesn’t.
Btw has anyone noticed that it seems they nerfed the speed of the travel form? I’m pretty sure it’s at 80% speed now instead of 100% as evidenced by the fact that I lag behind people on their mounts in bgs and there is a new warmode talent that “increases the speed of travel from by 20%”.
You don’t get the +60% movespeed bonus (for a total of +100%) from Travel Form L2 in BGs or Arenas. You still do get it in War Mode in the open world (for a total of +120% with the extra +20% from the war mode talent).
Ah I see, thx Etam.
So is it only 40% in travel form in bg’s/arena then?
Wait… is the Zandalari raptor travel form ridable?! If so, I’m even more jealous ><
People use the term “stag form”. But now that we have options, my females always use “doe form”.
This is not new. I used it in bgs throughout BfA.
Rightttt. I don’t pvp very often
