So for people who don’t know, druid travel form is no longer mountable as a default thing, and instead is now a separate form in which people can mount you provided you go to Moonglade and pick up a tome from the chick there. Apparently there was some kind of reason to take away the travel form mount passive which has been in the game since Cata (I think), and now it requires an entirely separate keybind to enter “Mount Form” which doesn’t even have a buff highlighting your form at all.
O_o? Why’d we do this? Was there some kind of reason? Do more seasoned druids know why this change happened? Cause I feel this is kinda dumb.
Hmm. True. I didn’t think about that, though I did read a similar comment over in the EU forums about that when I was searching Google and looking for some kind of comment. It just didn’t register in my head.
The separate stag form tome was to make it so you wouldn’t involuntarily enter flight form while in areas where you could fly. Which makes sense, and I get that. In this situation, they’ve removed the mountable aspect from travel form as a baseline thing though, which is my complaint and worked it into “mount form” which encompasses all travel forms anyway, so we’ve in effect lost the ability to enter stag form by itself.
Right, I get that. Like I say in the rest of the post though:
Based on the tooltip stag form is no longer a separate entity. They just removed the ability to mount and rolled in a second ability which makes it mountable but doesn’t actually function any different.
I don’t see that in the patch notes anywhere, so I don’t know. The 9.0 patch notes does say it was changed. The tome is level 17, so you’ll still get to be a mount in SL content.
Yes, please, and thank you! I hate auto travel. I know some people like it and that’s fine, but… at least give me an option to not use it and have all of my travel forms separate.
OH! Shad, let me test something and see if my sudden theory is correct.
I assumed maybe they changed it so that mountable stag would now work in water and not dump passengers. NOW I CAN’T EVEN BE IN WATER IN STAG FORM AT ALL.
It wasn’t mountable for me in Legion. That’s why I had to go get the tome. I had friends complaining about it. And I had purposely left it off because I didn’t want to be their Uber. Sounds like this was somehow a buggy mess. Not surprising. It always has been since that disaster of an auto travel was introduced.
