Water Strider Discussion

Ok,let me put it in simple terms.You enjoy this mount system blizzard wants.Do you accept the design responsibility for say the design when it was proposed in the forum earlier.

I don’t recall whatever “forum proposal” you’re talking about, sorry. I’m in favor of the new system coming in, and the waterbug being retired. It can’t be said much simpler than that.

Surely,you must have read the forums .You been here long enough in general discussion to realize this.Or are you hiding something.Curiosity is teaser for the insightful.

With recent change (buff) of dazed annoying debuff, blizzard should just scrap mount equipment system and revert water strider changes.

Other option would be to have mount equipment on per mount basis, so you can have different equipment for different mounts to use them in different situations.

Stop removing QoL from the game.

If there was a chance to stop this trainwreck, it was before they started implementing it.

Now that they’ve invested effort into it, their ego won’t let them unwind the damage they’re about to cause.

But whatever, maybe if they finally notice they number of cancelled accounts leading up to and following the release of 8.2 they’ll take the hint and bang it with a hammer a few times to make it less egregious.

They certainly won’t be reverting it at this late stage of development.

The copper piece finally drops; you have an issue. And so because of this very personal issue, you would deny EVERYONE this particular item and its current abilities.

Nah, Tarc’s just grasping at straws because every other pitiful argument has been shot down.

Calm down, Hairflippy McGee, it was just a side observation, not a primary reason to remove it. It’s is why as soon as I’m back on land, I dismiss it and hop on the regular ground mount, though.

It’s not nearly as bad as the swaying motion of the sky golem though, I simply cannot use that think while flying, feels like I’m going to hurl.

I think he’s just hoping that somehow Ion gets to see his name on the forum in support of Ion’s ideas.

While I also have no idea what the person you were talking to was trying to ask, I find myself needing a bit of clarification on what you said…

As a general FYI kind of thing…

So is most everyone else in this thread. I’ve seen very few people say that the new system was bad or shouldn’t be implemented. I’ve seen no one actually ask for the system to not be implemented. Of course, I may have missed it, there are some 5000+ posts in this thread alone on the subject and this is the only thread I’ve paid close attention to.

My question is…

Why can’t the new system and the “water bug” co-exist? Why does it need to be “retired”? Every other “special function” mount is retaining it’s original functionality.

Do you want the “water bug” retired because you don’t like using it? And, if so, why? You won’t have to use it with the new equipment system in place.

Why can’t we get the new mount equipment and have the Strider(s) work like all of the other “special function” mounts? Why can’t they all keep their original functionality and simply not be effected by the equipment slot?

Literally every other “special function” mount will work this way under the new system. Why not the “water bug” too?

Why do you feel it necessary to ruin what I enjoy in order to implement the new system?

Scroll up to my previous post, for your answer.
Thank you.

What answer? Who are you talking to?

Logic doesn’t work on the emotional. They emotionally want the water strider gone (including Ion - because eveyone uses it isnt logical).

Logic would allow both to exist.

Emotionally disliking something is the only reason to make it go away.

So why aren’t you asking…nay, DEMANDING that mount be abolished?
FLIPS hair and sips that tea HA!

I agree with this. Doesn’t look like a fun new system now. I hope they scrap it and rework it as a new expansion feature and actually listen to the feedback its getting now. This is dampening my enthusiasm for 8.2.

LOL I agree. Make it the defining point of 9.0.

See how many they sell with that as their selling point…

If you mean him saying he’s afraid of spiders, I saw that. But that doesn’t actually answer my question to him.

Unless they changed it, even though it is in the toybox now, you have, or had to have the required rep on all characters to use the anglers raft. Have not tried to use it in quite awhile, so have no idea if it’s changed.

No it’s changed. The raft can now be used account wide regardless of rep. I just used it on my new 120 Druid who has zero anglers rep. Not sure when they changed it.
