So soar finally got static flying, yay, except it doesn’t work.
Hasn’t since Alpha, there’s been no acknowledgement of it not working either.
You try to take of from the ground, it shoots you up for a sec before you float back down and go back into walking. It is so broken. I’ve seen a few people be able to work around it by taking off in water or managing to jump just before the cooldown ends to get it to work, but it’s annoying and janky as hell and doesn’t work most of the time unless you get it perfect.
I imagine the reason it happens is since Dracthyr auto dismount when we touch the ground, it’s registering us as touching the ground the moment we try to take off, n thus kicking us out of flight.
Honestly the solution really should just be to get rid of the auto dismount, dragonflight is over and there’s really no more reason to handicap soar so much. No other mount/mount form has a cooldown like this, no other one dismounts the moment you touch the ground. It is so much worse than every other mount form. Everyone has dragonriding now so there’s no advantage over other players.
It really should be more like worgen running wild where we are just like, in mount form till we disable it or enter combat. I see no reason why it shouldn’t be.
Druids get to fly with no cooldown, don’t get dismounted upon landing, can gather, no cast time, yet the winged dragon race does not get this.
I don’t even mind the cast time so much, I like the animation for it and it makes it the same lvl as running wild and other mounts, only druid being more powerful, but then with the added cooldown and auto dismount, it’s so much worse.
I want to be able to static fly on my dragon dude without having to perfectly time a jump to get around the awful bug.
We deserve to be able to fly just like anyone else.

I gave up trying to use Soar to fly. It simply has too many problems and using a regular mount will almost always be more practical, I still use Soar when flying long distances. It’s cool to fly like a Draconid. I also like it to travel very short distances with the initial jump, that way I save 1 stamina.
but I gave up trying to use it for static flight.

Mine has been working fine the only time I’ve experienced a problem is if I try to do it in the Draconid form if I do it from visage it works fine everytime, weird.

It works fine as long as you have good latency.
I want soar to be instant cast. It should be like Druid flight form. We should be able to use it while falling.
