I would like to throw my feedback on this as well. I just received the toy and appreciate that it was addressed, however - I have to agree with what others stated.
The previous effect was superior. I would prefer the old toggle on or off. Itās a bit less fun having to think about turning it on every hour. This actually makes the toy far less attractive now (to me). As it currently exists now, I doubt Iāll use it much, if at all.
Posting to confirm that Iāve also received my vial of endless draconic scales.
Hope thereās a fix for the people who were impatient and bought a vial before this hotfix went out properlyā¦ -narrows eyes at hotfix notes from last week-
You can use more than one character to do the races if youāre short on badges for rewards. Still, maybe try filing a ticket and explaining what happened.
Please consider giving players the option to return this toy and get the manuscript instead. It was much more useful when it had no duration, no cooldown, could be used while dragonriding, and persisted through death. Thanks.
New toy based implementation is so bad. You added CD, unnecessary maintenance to refresh a buff every hour, and it is lost on death, really? Why not just make original spell to be unlocked account wide as was asked and not over engineer it and make it much worse than original in the process?
Although this is not as good as the original Manuscript: this macro will cast the toy effect when summoning a mount (if not on CD) #showtooltip Highland Drake
/cast Vial of Endless Draconic Scales
/cast Highland Drake
You could take the macro further with a /castrandom with a list of dragons.
or alternatively
/script C_MountJournal.SummonByID(0)
to summon a random favorite mount
