I’m all in for this, let’s see who goes splat first
Don’t forget the monks
Personally I would of rather normal flight then soar (Dragonriding flying).
Honestly it just seems fitting, even if they get a cast time for balancing sake, and fly at the speed as everyone else I thought it made sense then a 4 min Dragonflying and then having to re mount for the rest of the CD…
It would of seemed more thematic to what being a Dracythr is.
It could be in old zones of Azeroth you fly normally and in DragonFlight it works the same as Dragonriding like everyone else, but that’s just my opinion .
I’ve started adding my voice into the threads in agreement. Usually I’m a silent lurker.
Cosmetic dragonriding soar, please! And honestly, though I guess people would complain “too many racials”, I don’t see why not a normal flying cosmetic option as well.
Thank you for your support of the cause…
seems logical, make it happen captain
I was bummed when Demon Hunters couldn’t fly either.
Still hoping for a glyph or something that lets them retain their wings outside of gliding.

Druids can fly. Dragons should fly.
Androgynous flying dragussy
Agreed but Ion has an agenda against flying so it won’t happen.
Plays with wings and wonders…
Yes, the design team seems to want to remove flying completely (and I can see how not a few people might agree).
Still, I wish the Dracthyr could fly so that the Illidari could also do what comes naturally…
I don’t understand the desire to remove flying…
This seems like the easiest big win the team could ask for.
Druids can fly in flight form, monks have their little hover cloud, demon hunters can glide with their wings out. If Jaina can make an entire freaking pirate ship fly then why the hell cant actual DRAGONS in the form of Dracthyr fly?
In all honesty it’s ridiculous they can’t fly and Dragonflying is on such a long CD…
All they had to do was in old Azeroth content make soar work as a normal flying mount… and whilst in Dragon Isles it turns into Dragonflying…no cool-down needed works as normal mounts.
Boom, problem solved, they can fly and dragon ride.
Ok, this is kind of insulting now. I just finished the starting experience in beta and the intro to the Horde part.
In both quest lines it clearly shows Dracthyr flying, not just gliding with soar. I just delivered a message to a group of Dracthyr and they casually took to the skies and flew away.
This really needs to be an option for the playable Dracthyr as the NPCs can do it.

Knowing them, they’d probably add Dragon Riding style flight for the rest of the game world, but then use that as an opportunity to further nerf Dracthyr flight.
They can its there racial ability it’s called “Sore”. its 610% speed down from the 940% and its on a 5 min CD. It can’t be used in dungeons or in battle.
I agree with this but i doubt Blizz will let it happen.
Edit: Plus There is a maga thread about this, it can be found here: Official Soar/Dragon Riding Mega Thread!
“If I have wings, why am I always walking?”- random dreadlord.
The Dracthyr NPCs appear to be able to fly normally; it would only make sense for the players to be able to as well.
Maybe enable it when normal flying is released for everyone?
