Remove water walking all-together

Why can’t blizz ever man up and take control over their own game instead of pussy footing around players trying not to upset anyone.

If you give every mount in game walker walking you might as well not bother putting water into the terrain anymore because it’s going to all feel like a giant land mass anyway.

Water walking was unique to dk, shamans and alchemy and that’s the way it should have stayed.

Your attempt at ‘creativity’ makes the world more ‘dull’.

cant remember till game turn into everyone having same character and they pick what spells they want out of 3 total spells (1 attack, 1 defensive 1 heal) :joy:

Change it to braindead stranding pls, kittens have nothing to do with what nonsense they produce.
Don’t want some warrior of the fallen border to report you.

Why not just post in the ongoing thread ?

I don’t want to see that happening, however there needs to be some homogenisation of certain things classes can do.

Why are warrior buff, priest buff, intell buff, drums alll sold on the AH yet CR isn’t ? It is a bit unfair to the classes whose unique party buff isn’t unique anymore. Either none available or all?

Der goes mah magic mon’

How me meant tah make fools gold now?

Poor Petah he gon’ be so upset wid daddy!

BR is not a buff tho

Engineering says hello :slight_smile:
I know it’s bad, but there is an CR on AH.

Well to me it is like something unique that comes to the table. Why should my stam buff not be unique to Priests would make us more popular, likewise warriors shout or mage intellect.

Rogue shroud isn’t a buff either yet you can buy invis flasks, and I have joined groups who made them mandatory for certain dungeons where they hadn’t a rogue.

It is very muddled if you ask me, when it comes to what is sold on the AH or not sold.

It is bad :slight_smile:
But good point. Very much confined to a profession that historically was wows hardest to level. Don’t know what it is like in BFA.

Actually any idea what the cooldown on that is?

yeah I agree with that, said that few times too.
monk/DH buff, shroud, etc. arent sold anywhere, while a lot of other things are.

originally i prefer none of it being sold or be available anywhere but class kit

10 mins I believe.but I can only use it on my pally, due to bubble and melee range to tank.

Agree OP, nerf water strider mount speed to 80% to compensate for its water walking so its basically a situational mount like the underwater mounts.

Making all mounts walk on water is just spreading a bad powercreep to all mounts. Once it’s in the game its gonna be hard to pull out…

The other mount equipments are fine, water walking shoes i mean at some point you gotta ask yourself how much sense stuff make…

It’s a company and the cry-babies always manage to shout so loud as to make it seem like the majority of players feel the same way they do.

Now I can’t prove they don’t in specific matters, but I find it HIGHLY unlikely because in general most people are apathetic about what are minor changes to a VIDEO GAME. It’s also the case that using feedback on forums as somehow representative of a wider population is always going to be questionable-- because of the nature of the kind of person who storms into forums and writes an essay on why they’ve ruined their day by making it so Water Striders won’t be the only mount that can water-walk.

The same is true for idiots who advocate flying right away. Why bother with topography, or terrain at all for that matter? Flying entirely circumvents all of that so what purpose does it serve?

See, the problem with these people is they ONLY see the game in terms of utility, therefore convenience is everything. The “Make It Fasterer, Because Fasterer Is Better” ilk. These people wouldn’t know what a game was if it slapped them about the face with a dualshock controller.

Therefore they cannot recognise basic game design, such as having unique skills such as water walking to classes like Shamans.

Honestly Blizzard should wisen up here. If they gradually take away these things then it’s easier-- the reason why flying generated so much backlash in WoD was because they did it all of a sudden.

A way to remove water walking, finally, is to make it so in the next expansion it doesn’t work in just some parts of the water. Or more sneakily they can use this new equipment system by making other buffs so much more desirable people won’t want to keep switching to water-walking.

You are absolutely correct that universal water walking - because the Strider is so insanely easy to get now - is an absurd thing because it completely negates water so why bother with it? Blizzard know this because didn’t they initially disable it in Legion, but again because it was so sudden the cry-babies backlashed and Blizz caved in?

All those buffs are weaker and shorter then they actual classes give.
Drums give less haste.
Shout less AP
Stam less HP
Int less Int and for 30mins not 1 hour.
So they can ever fully replace a buff.

Read there tells you all about it. You might want to post facts before you start being toxic and calling people stupid/idiots/crybabies and the general flith that comes out of you mouth .

I thought that was engineering specific?

And fishing… Its a reward for the fishing quest. Just saying as its quite useful sometimes for fishing. Anyway if you hop fast you can jump across any water. And there aint that much water in the game really.

Didn’t I read they were removing some of the water walking skills from mounts.

For me they should give water walking, underwater breathing, portals, teleport, levitation, invisibility, stealth, polymorph and flying to everyone as a standard spell at level 10 say. They should also get rid of fall damage and the most annoying one … death from being attacked by another mob. Don’t you just hate that. And no need really. So annoying.

Just a thought why not get rid of water walking and let us glide endlessly for like ever. Or let us build bridges out of thin air like that shaman bloke did in Legion. You know the one when Sylvanas said ’ How convenient '. She didn’t want get her feet wet either.

Wasn’t sure if you were serious… sorry.
