The cast time exists, we can’t fly at ground level, and we can’t activate Soar while falling from a great height.
These seemingly pointless restrictions exist to differentiate soar from every other form of flight, but really just makes it the worst version.
Druids being able to enter flight form and immediately dynamic fly is an amazing interaction and one Dracthyr need to be able to utilize. If Soar was castable while falling, you would still have that window of time where you can die… thus making it stand out as different, while still expanding the functionality in a logical way.
Really though we all know the solution. Make it the same as druid flight form. Give it a ground speed, get rid of the cast time. If birds can mine for ore and pick flowers while flying, dracthyr should be able to as well. It just makes sense, and the whole argument that it has to follow some logic is inane anyway, its a fantasy game.
I just want to be able to enter into dynamic flight while falling. Instantly would be preferred, but I’m willing to negotiate on cast time being available while falling.
And if you could let druids and dracthyr participate in dragon races using soar and travel form, that’d be great.
and travel form is instant, retains the ability to interact with objects, and is a class specific stance instead of a racial. With dracthyr being opened up to more classes, the chance they make it more like flight form instead of a regular mount is basically zero.
blizzard doesn’t care about Evokers, nor dracthyr.
We don’t even have an idle combat animation for our visage form.
We don’t have a full mount form using Soar.
We don’t have the ability to transmog into drachthyr form, and the pieces we have make everything worse.
I hope someday Blizzard does a decent job for Evokers and dracthyr, but I’m not willing to wait and see.
There are several topics with reports of what some players don’t like and their possible solutions here.
was not promised. but it’s strange to have half the capacity of a common flying mount, especially when you have a druid that has all the functions of a mount in the game.
I actually like the drachthyr form, and don’t mind playing as one. My problems are simply the lack of transmogs in the dracthyr form, as I said in another post here, they should get complete transmogs, or simply remove the shoulder and belt. (separate the drachthyr transmogs from the visage).
remembering, I don’t need your goodbye, nor your invitation to play as an evoker or as a dracthyr.
So far, Evoker and Dracthyr are linked as a single race and class. This is gonna change? probably, but even if it changes, soar has no advantage over a regular mount, has cast time, and normal flight speed, Adding something simple like being able to walk under the ground won’t give anyone any advantage, even for other classes that come after the evoker.
This is simply something that equalizes the sound of any mount, the difference in use is up to the player, and it is mainly cosmetic.
They literally confirmed it will change early in next expansion days ago. There are threads about it on this forum.
The cast time of our mount is the same as every other dragon riding mount, except we get launched at zero vigor cost. That’s an advantage over a regular mount.
They don’t have to be equal, and if you’re worried about equality we have better racials than most races.
The difference in use is that it’s literally better than DR mounts unless you’re gathering.
This could be changed, swapping the extra jump for the ability to walk on the ground.
I answer myself, but until it is implemented, they can postpone it.
A racial to simply walk around in the open world doesn’t change much in terms of gameplay, except in RP.
and what would be? additional maneuverability? There are hundreds of flying mounts being transformed into dynamic flight, having it sound like a common mount for RP purposes would not be a problem.
about racial abilities being better than other races, this will probably change when other classes arrive.
Maybe they do like the goblin, where when you activate one racial, the other also goes on recharge.
I literally already (in the same post you’re quoting) spelled out for you that the same cast time of a DR mount let’s soar launch you with no vigor cost and no gcd on launch.
Even if they did this l, we’d still have racials light years ahead of most races, lol.
More likely they improve our talent node for cdr in the class tree and make the cd for other classes 3 min or something.
You like it and it’s okay, I don’t like it so I fight for it to change.
while serving only for movement. I don’t think it’s wrong. Furthermore, the druid’s ability has many other functions, in addition to moving around.
