Another day without comment.
Blizzard,
It’s not going away. This is the first legiondary/conduit energy/aoe cap/covenant cooldown mistake of DF. Don’t wait till the 10.2.5 apology post to admit it. Listen to people and make soar = dragonriding and make dragonriding usable everywhere.
Easiest win you could ever get.
Tbf it’s Sunday, but I fear they’ll just ignore us.
Running Wild is not inferior to mounts, and people that use it in lieu of regular mounts are not punished for doing so.
Travel/Flight form are not inferior to mounts, and people that use them in lieu of mounts are not punished for doing so. (They may be a class abilites, but the Evoker talent trees having racial abilities on them prove that Blizzard are treating them interchangeably with class abilities.)
These two abilites are the closest analog we have to Soar vs. Dragonriding mounts, and both of them are no worse (and in flight form’s example, actually better) than the out-of-combat movement ability they ‘replace.’ Why should Soar be any different?
Running wild IS a mount because that WAS their mount they didnt have a racial mount soar is NOT a mount its just a dum racial for fun NOT THEIR MOUNT so stop saying its a mount
I mean by your logic thats like: more the reasons not to tax us, more the reason not to wear a seat belt, more the reason not to eat healthy, more the reason to not cheat, more the reason to not break the law.
Yeah you can give “more the reason” to anything in life from mild to wild but the fact remains: They make the game, they make the choice. Deal with your 11 second hit or keep whining whatever makes you feel better.
I assume most wow players are adults, again assume and MOST are adults. So if you are an adult wow just, adjustments are needed for you. If a child maybe you didn’t get punished enough or things taken away as a child. Either way, you are just coming off as a whining person.
Dracthyr don’t have a racial mount though.
That doesnt make soar their mount so whats your point
My point is that they should make Soar their racial mount because they don’t have any.
Then figure out how to make them old fly and new fly and ground all im hearing is crying over a speed decrease
Aw, maybe Druids could get a dive or something in the future. 
that makes me a tad jealous.
Dragon Riding is (currently) limited to the Dragon Isles where as Soar is usable anywhere flying can be.
So Soar being slightly slower doesn’t seem out of line?
Then what’s the point of it as a racial? At that point it’s purely cosmetic.
That doesn’t make sense at all. If you don’t know how to counterargue, it’s better to ignore and move on instead of replying nonsense and looking like a fool.
I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt, nonetheless. When something is nerfed it’s usually because a drastic change is needed/sought after in order to preserve a certain balance in game.
First and foremost, it’s not 11 seconds. I’ve actually timed it and the difference in time can go up to 30 seconds approx. But let’s imagine you’re right. 11 seconds is, literally, not a drastic change. They have thousands of players mad, disappointed and sad about this change for… 11 seconds? Reaching somewhere (be it for pet battling or leveling in old zones) 11 seconds faster than anyone else does not in any way entail an advantage over anyone else. So yes, all the more reason not to nerf it if the change still does not solve the inexistent problem Blizzard made up out of thin air.
I will keep providing my respectful feedback, which is my right as a loyal, paying customer. If you insist on preventing me from exercising my right thereto, I will have to contact moderation and let them know about your behavior, indeed.
You’re the one to speak about behaving as an adult and you don’t even know the difference between giving an opinion and whining? You just threw a hissy fit because you couldn’t counter argue my argument, look at yourself in the mirror.
I couldn’t care less what a spoiled individual of your kind thinks I’m coming off as. Learn the difference between giving feedback and whining and then maybe I’ll reconsider having a mature conversation with you. Until then, welcome to my ignore list.
K you can contact customer support and think I said something wrong that just again shows where your mind is as an over all person.
As you said a paying customer I will provide my own feed back as well and in this case it is directed at you, another paying customer who is no more, or less then me to tell you: Grow up it is 11 seconds.
You feel that this 11 seconds will ruin your experiencing as a paying customer. I say as a paying customer it will not and you are just crying to cry because it is balanced between what current flight IS and what soar WAS.
kicks a bucket over to you here you seem to need this.
The outrage is more complex than that.
It’s basically a combination of several factors. Soar was one of the favorite abilities we were looking after in DF, basically because we were promised our dragon would be able to fly. We learned we could use dragon riding everywhere, and that’s cool and all, but we saw it was behind a ridiculous 5 min cooldown. Most of us didn’t think that was reasonable (imagine Worgen or Druids waiting 5 minutes every time they wanted to use Running Wild or their flight form). So we asked Blizzard to remove it or reduce it to something more reasonable.
As for the speed, it was fun! People in alpha were rediscovering areas in older content and it was marvelous. Old continents had once again players there, and watching those dragons swooping across the skies over you just felt right - it gave that live fantasy vibe WoW is so much lacking lately.
Two weeks later, what was Blizzard’s answer? To nerf its speed for easily refutable reasons, all while not addressing the ridiculously long cooldown.
We feel ignored, we feel they are favoring time metrics over fun metrics. Soar is now slower, it’s harder to gain and maintain momentum (which means flying is shorter, because once you lose momentum, you fall and it’s over). Players are no longer interested in racing or revisiting old areas, so they’re dead again.
If they at least reduced the cooldown to 1-2 minutes or removed it entirely, most of us would consider it a compromise and call it a day.
Yeah. Most Non-combat racials are. It’d be like running wild.
The racial dragon flying for Dracthyr and dragon flying for regular mounted should be the same. Imo if the Dracthyr is able to pop into dragon riding quicker, nerf that instead. It should be like Worgen’s racial mounting is to other races. They have equivalent mount up and mount speed, but a visual difference.
no you werent they never ever ever promised anything like that they told you the first few days they couldnt fly on their own and needed to use mount so i dont know what people are delusional about this time its still fast people need to grow up and stop misinformation and stop caring about a stupid racial
from may 31
“Dracthyr will use the human form when mounting dragons. Outside the Dragon Isles , Dracthyrs can use their wings to glide, but they still need a flying mount for traditional flying.”
Are you purposely acting obtuse??? gliding isnt flying like a mount no wonder people are being so dumb around here
