Come on Blizzard you gave Dracthyr the fantasy of Dragonriding without a mount but there are so many things missing such as using it in raid, having the ability to use fly along, using it with Dragonriding races, getting the bonuses that come with the mining/ herbing nodes. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great start but there is so much missing and yet Soar claims you can use Dragonriding so are we going to see the missing aspects of the ability any time in the future?

I swear these forums are the wow equivalent of the children’s book “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie”.

People just want it to be normal. A normal mount, not this weird almost mount thing. Be like if Running Wild had the caveat that you couldn’t stop moving or you’d have to cast it again
Is it fine and serviceable now? Yes.
Is it perfect? No.
What would make it perfect? Just being a normal mount form that can be used in place of a dragonriding mount. No needing to break out a real one for tindral, or for racing. Being able to land without it canceling, and hovering above the ground at ground mount speed while landed. And when 11.0 comes out, being able to toggle between dynamic and static flying like they’re doing for most other flying mounts.

Exactly. Why are there so many little this part don’t work like normal Dragonriding added to it.

Think of it less as people wanting more and more as people wanting it right. This really is a consistent problem for the class/race in several ways: range, transmogs in our true form, a legendary that lasts longer than a single season, etc… And now a dragonriding form that works the same as other dragonriding. We really aren’t asking for better, just the same stuff everyone else gets.
It seems Blizz’s only real excuse is, “built different” /crushes egg.

I like soar how it is without being a mount. The launch animation makes it unique.

All they need to “fix” soar is to add the Hover component to it. Make Hover, when cast outside of combat, act as a ground mount. If you touch the ground with soar, you go into hover mount mode from which you can then soar again.
Basically two abilities to make it work like druid travel form.
All the animations are there.

Hover really cannot be compared against travel form due to hover’s primary function as a combat ability. The ground variant of travel form, when used out of combat, doesn’t lose speed or otherwise function any differently upon entering combat. Hover cannot function like this as it does not pacify you like travel form does, restricting most spells from being cast.
So then how would we stop that from happening? Do we just cancel hover upon entering combat? Well that would dismount you and wouldn’t work like a mount does. Do we revert to regular hover? Does this consume a charge of hover? What if we are out of charges when this happens, do we just get free hovers out in the world?
There’s so many things that would need to be accounted for and coded that it isn’t as simple as oh all they need to do is make it use hover, it will be easy

You also can cheese a free whirling surge most of the time by using it immediately after launch, which is pretty neat.
So do I but it claims to be the same as Dragonriding and yet there is so many places it don’t work like Dragonriding.
