Hope you enjoyed your weekend! Get your coffee and get your day rolling and please, take a moment to review the Soar and Dragonriding feedback.
It could not possibly be more clear. Our overwhelming repsonse from players testers, youtubers, streamers, and disgruntled Murlocs is that the change to Soar is terrible and something that not a single soul wanted.
Please revert this decision. You claimed Dragonflight was the expansion youd finally learned from your mistakes with Shadowlands and Battle for Azeroth but if you want players to believe it we need to see the change being made. It isnt enough to tell us youve learned a lesson if you continue to make changes like this that seem to spit in the face of what your players actually what.
Our response has been overwhelming.
The Soar nerf is unnecessary.
The Dragonriding change feels terrible to play.
Dragonriding needs to be allowed in old zones.
Soar needs its cooldown reduced.
Every tester and community council member has communicated this to you over the weekend and the forums have blown up with the observations of other players to the same effect. Youtubers and Streamers have told their following the same and the Murlocs are gurgling with displeasure.
So please, prove to us youre willing to listen to what we have to say this time around.
So you want the Soar nerf removed AND the cooldown reduced? Probably neither of those things are going to happen…but there is no way both will happen.
I guess they could remove the Soar Nerf and just delete one or two other racial abilities to compensate in order to reach their intended goal.
The devs can read the esponses and the logic and they can see that everyone is asking for Dragonriding in old zones which entirely negates Soar in the first place.
You can troll all you want but the devs can read your post history too. Have a good day brother, hope you find a hobby.
How are the Drakthy racial abilities OP you ask…
To start…they have the standard flat stat buff.
Increases your mastery by 2.5% (Devastation spec) / 1.8% (Preservation spec). (Note: 2.5% will be the highest single stat buff in the game.)
Then a standard utility ability:
Increases your Perception by 50. Perception increases the radius of tracking Mining and Herbalism nodes, and the chance of finding additional rare materials when gathering. (It’s hard to say how strong this ability is)
And then a standard flavor ability:
You fly 20% faster on continents that you have fully explored. (That’s a really strong flavor ability)
After that they get 2 strong AOE combat knockbacks with pretty short (1.5 minute) cooldowns: (For reference, the similar single target Kul Tiran ability has a 2.5-minute cooldown)
Lash our with your tail, knocking enemies within 6 yds into the air. 1.5 min cooldown.
With a powerful flap of your wings, knock away enemies in front of you. 1.5 min cooldown
But if that wasn’t enough…they also get the racial ability to glide
Reduces your falling speed. You can activate this ability with the jump key while falling.
And of course on top of all of that, they get Soar.
There is no way to argue in good faith that they do not have an OP lineup of racial abilities that far surpasses any other race.
The soar nerf is necessary- literally going that fast is cheesing the world of Azeroth itself. Meanwhile, keeping it that fast would of been degenerate, locking in everyone to evokers for any world content farming. It’s a good and proper change.
Lol the second hearthstone mechanic is no way comparable to traveling an entire continent in 2 minutes on a 5 min cd. Plus, Vulpera can be many classes, dracthyr can just be one class. Some people don’t want to play evokers and having to be locked to them for farming would be degenerate big time. What don’t you understand about this? LOL
Tragic that you guys have nothing better to do than troll GD at 9Am but luckily Blizzard can just read the feedback and see that the OP is right and safely ignore these losers.
