Dracthyr soar nerf?

[Redrum-grobbulus]

Why Blizzard? Nobody is out here playing competitive esport pet battles why nerf soar?

[Lingxiu-the-forgotten-coast]

Another thread to toss on the pile.

Soar is experimental, as is Dragonriding in general. Soar’s viability as a global racial is being tested and apparently it’s out of line with other racials. I would argue the fix is instead of make Soar function as a TBC Flying mount and give Evokers a special version of the racial that allows Dragonriding within the Dragon Isles and a +Speed boost while outside of it.

@Redrum-grobbulus

why nerf soar?

Cuz it was the smart move to make - rare, (.0001%), but it does happen.

[Licera-caelestrasz]

Because it provides an advantage in pet battles apparently

[Azuremi-proudmoore (Azuremi)]

Also gives you an advantage in getting to old raids faster for those transmogs your lizard can’t even use.

I have to wonder how many of these threads are actually you talking to yourself as you switch alts.

Forums: uh, that reason is total cowpoop. Why is fun being nerfed because of outdated open world stuff?

Because it was faster than flying if you were going downhill and had no obstacles once every 5 minutes and you might be able to beat someone to a pet battle in those extremely specific circumstances.

Also, blizzard hates fun. This, conduit energy, 2 week cooldown on covenant shifting, random leggos, azerite armor.

History is repeating itself.

[Aurek-moon-guard]

Dont point out facts to him, itll just make him scream obscenities at you and eventually he’ll move on to racial slurs.

[Hella-malfurion (Hella)]

All you people agreeing with Blizzard on the Soar nerf baffle me.

It’s like you guys don’t like fun, you know, the main reason we all play video games.

[Spyropurple-gallywix]

Because Blizz thinks getting to place to place faster (and in some ways, more fun) is somehow giving people an advantage, or whatever their next stupid excuse for it is. It’s not even an effective way to get around with how much time you’ll be taking to try to find a good spot to dive off of depending on the zone/area’s landscape.

I’d be happy if they gave us a “mount” that’s just Dracthyr flying like any other flying mount can.

[Våld-area-52]

Soar looks fun. Why not just make the other racials fun?

TBC flying wouldn’t be fun. Why would anyone want to shy away from making something fun?

[Gorilaz-frostmourne]

you could but in this case

@Viperzz-frostmourne

• This is a unique new race/class combo added to the game

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.

And in trying you argue other wise, youd have to consider taking all of the dracthyr racials out of the evokers talent tree’s

[Noree-wyrmrest-accord]

Followed by … Silence from Blizzard.

This is a change that’s almost universally unpopular and is completely against the feedback provided by those using soar on Alpha.

[Simplyred-hydraxis]

[Lingxiu-the-forgotten-coast]

Because the question isn’t ‘is it fun’.

The question is ‘is it appropriate’. Which Soar is not proving to be because it’s apparently not playing nice in the wider world outside of the Dragon Isles.

Reworking it to be TBC Flight outside of Dragon Isles makes it neat, tidy, and fits the Dracthyr into non-Dragonflight content seamlessly.
