Taivan Adjusted - Reduction in Size of Good Boy Mount
Hey there, gamers! Welcome back to another exciting blog post. Today, we're diving into the world of Patch 10.2.6 and exploring one of the biggest additions it brought - the Good Boy's Leash, granting players a chance to ride Taivan, the magnificent dog mount. However, there's been a recent update that has left the community divided. Let's take a closer look.
The Questline and Taivan's Tale
Within the vast expanse of Dragonflight lies the Ohn'ahran Plains, where players stumbled upon Taivan, capturing their hearts and becoming an instant fan favorite. During the side questline known as "Taivan's Purpose," we discovered that our lovable canine companion was no ordinary dog. Taivan towered over his fellow Bakar, making him the standout of the pack. However, his immense size prevented him from fulfilling his expected role as a hunting or herding dog.
Throughout Taivan's journey, we witnessed his gentle nature and kind heart. Instead of hunting, he embraced the role of a service dog, utilizing his size to rescue centaurs trapped under the rubble of a destroyed village. He also provided comfort to a young centaur orphan, showcasing his unique ability to bring solace to others. As a reward for completing this heartwarming storyline, players receive Taivan's Trumpet - a toy that summons the magnificent Taivan, granting versatility to those nearby.

The Incredible Shrinking Dog
When Patch 10.2.6 initially introduced Taivan as a mount, players were ecstatic. His size towered over other mounts, creating a spectacle that garnered both awe and amusement. However, a recent hotfix has left players stunned and divided. Taivan, once a majestic giant, has been significantly reduced in size. Some argue that this change was necessary for game balance, while others feel it diminishes the unique charm and appeal that Taivan once possessed.
Below, you can see a visual depiction of Taivan's size before and after the hotfix:
| Taivan Before the nerf | Taivan After the nerf | |
| Size | Considerably bigger than other mounts | Reduced by approximately 30% |
As you can see from the table above, the difference in size is striking. Side by side with the toy version summoned by Taivan's Trumpet, the mount now appears much smaller than before. While some players understand the need for balance, it's undeniable that part of Taivan's allure stemmed from his grand stature. Time will tell how this change truly impacts the overall experience of riding Taivan.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, the introduction of Taivan as a mount in Patch 10.2.6 was met with great excitement and praise. His heartwarming questline and unique abilities captured the attention of players worldwide. However, the recent size reduction has sparked a debate within the community, leaving players divided.
Whether you prefer the majestic giant or the more compact version, there's no denying that Taivan continues to be an exceptional companion on your journey through Dragonflight. So saddle up and experience the wonders of Taivan for yourself!
