I guess this needs to be said because it sounds like it won’t be implemented, but just because it is a racial ability, doesn’t change the fact that some people prefer old flying because they aren’t good at “dynamic flight” and those people still want to use their dracthyr’s wings.
I understand implementation was different at the start, but so were opinions on forcing players to use dragonriding. Now that the forcing people into something they can’t do/aren’t good at/would prefer not to use since flying has been the same since TBC, I think it is only fair to reexamine Soar as an ability that also acknowledges those preferences.
Just because you play a dracthyr doesn’t mean you prefer dynamic flight. There are plenty of people out there that would prefer the ability to fly in the TBC style while still playing their dracthyr. Please listen to reason on this one blizz and make sure to include it when you do all the other work to make flying mounts dynamic.
Make Soar have a TBC flight toggle.
And while you are at it get rid of soar’s cooldown.

No.
Give somone an inch and they want a mile. Soar will be full on dragon riding. IF you want to TBC fly just fly an old mount.

it’s a cosmetic option that provides no extra benefit. It would be the same as worgens’ “Running Wild.” Why do some people hate the idea of others get extra cosmetic options that would have no effect on themselves?

I hope its a toggle like the mounts will be. It would be cool to hover high in the air!

Druids will get both TBC flying and Dynamic flying - why can’t the Evokers?

Why no?
People are asking for soar to be made to function like a normal flying mount, with all normal flying mount functions. Like worgen have running wild, which is functionally a normal ground mount.
It’s not an advantage. It doesn’t give you a leg up. Soar is not instant cast. It’s just flavor, for the singular race with wings to be able to fly using those wings without the silly limitation of it cancelling when you land and going on cooldown.
Normal flying mounts are going to be made into dragonriding mounts next expansion, with a toggle between TBC and Dynamic flight. Dracthyr players have been asking to be able to use their wings as a flying mount for this entire expansion. This is the perfect opportunity for dracthyr to do what everybody else can do, just using their own wings.
Druids are getting the instant cast dragonriding, but it’s not what dracthyr are asking for.
It’s so weird to me that there’s pushback against this. I feel like it comes from ignorance.

Bro the animations for regular flight are already in the damn game. You can see it in throne of the four winds.

To add to this, as a matter of fact, the traditional flight skill for dracthyr allready exists within the game files, it was just never made available to players https://www.icy-veins.com/forums/topic/69680-interesting-discarded-dracthyr-racial-ability-flight/

I’ve heard in 11.0 there’s going to be a toggle to choose whether you wish to fly in TBC flying or Dynamic flight, maybe it’s coming for dracthyr then.
