15 renown for flying is ridiculous

Just dont go as fast

Tried, dragon doesnā€™t stay in the air at the speed Iā€™m comfortable with.

Just starting DF and canā€™t believe how long that will take. Maybe just playing through and doing the usual side quests I cannot help but do might do the trick

Me either. I did get somewhat past my motion sickness, but seems like I can never land where im supposed to without back and forth, and overshooting target! Iā€™m always crash landing! But I still need practice.

Just miss the option. I thought theyā€™d make it a little less challenging for regular flying considering all the disabilities that make this so hard for some theyā€™d rather travel by ground. /raises hand Spatial focus is really difficult for some of us, and combined with motion sickness ā€¦ :face_vomiting:

I wouldnt worry about it, since the normal flying is only gonna be in the 10.0 zones and the new zones are still gonna be dragon riding

Guys just calm down, breathe :blush: :cloud_with_rain:. Personally Iā€™m happy flying was added and no do not touch the speed. Would I have preferred renown 10? Sure but Iā€™m working towards it and I got what I wanted. Happy early Halloween everyone :cloud_with_rain::smiling_face: :jack_o_lantern:

I am a dummy. I despise these devs. Hereā€™s my $16

I wonder if they should just return to making flying a purchasable thing.

Blue said twitter that was a bug and the new zones will have it (I probably would have quit otherwise because no way I am grinding 15 renown from a new zone they wonā€™t let me fly in)

Because there isnā€™t just one disorder that can cause these issues. Which was told to you. But you chose to continue the ignorance.

Thereā€™s no lashing out. You arenā€™t worth the effort to lash out.

ā€¦ wow.

Yeah, youā€™re going on ignore. Disrespectful ignorance is not worth my time.

Youā€™re probably one of those people that doesnā€™t believe COVID exists, let alone Long COVID.

Educate yourself on neurological disorders.

I feel ilke ā€œpathfinderā€ was a way to placate the devs who feel that flying somehow screws THEM over (we spent all this time making this world and you dont want to see it?) .
I have an idea, why not develop a world that isnā€™t negated by flying? LIke develop a world that has more than just 2-dimensions? Maybe we have to clear the skyways in the new zone so we can fly safely? I dunnoā€¦use your brains. The ship has sailed on flying, you made it availableā€“thereā€™s literally zero reason for us to have to ā€œearn itā€ every time when weā€™ve already done so. If we go back to it not being available until max level with a ā€œlicenseā€ like we used to do fine but Pathfinder really just reeks of ā€œwe really want to make sure you saw all of our cool artworkā€¦even if we randomly still wont let you fly in new zones we make at max levelā€ (/eyeroll)

Stop being a professional victim. Online? No one cares. I didnā€™t list the 13 medication I take daily to function properly, or how I canā€™t ride in cars over 45 miles per hour without the fear of randomly passing out. Donā€™t ever clame to speak for all the disabled people.

If someone canā€™t be bothered to get renown 15 then they probably donā€™t spend much time in the world anyway and therefore donā€™t even need it.

Also, we have dragonriding and flightpoints all over the place.

When the whole thing went down years ago, I gathered from their (rather incoherent) statements the following:

  1. They played on PvP servers (in fact, Ion & Lore once said in one of their chats that they couldnā€™t imagine why anyone wouldnā€™t play on a PvP server) and gankers were the only people who ever voiced any dislike of flying prior to its removal.
  2. Bashiok was absolutely convinced that if you flew over quests, they automatically completed and you never had to land on the ground. Perhaps this delusion was widespread in the company.

Yeah, Iā€™m sure all those tons of new players will quit in disappointment after realizing that they wonā€™t get their slow flying mount back that they had for 2 hours before getting even faster and better flying.

I just want them to reduce it to 10. Iā€™m slowly working on getting my renown up but flying for more than a few minutes makes me dizzy. And no, I do NOT want normal flying to go faster - the sudden acceleration is what causes problems with my vision.

Yes, I am old. Yes, I have vision problems (along with arthritis and other issues). I just wish Blizzard was a little more in touch with their aging player base.

I tried ice skating once in the early 90s. I had to take the skates off because they had to be secured so tightly as to cut off circulation

:dragon: :ocean: :dragon: :ocean:

I tried roller skating twice (including roller skate square dancing) and ice skating once.

In all three attempts I kept falling flat on my face unless my bf was holding on to me.

Also, itā€™s crazy how there are these ice gashes that if youā€™re not carefully will completely trip you.

But itā€™s fast pace fun

:ocean: :dragon: :ocean: :dragon:

I mean, I really canā€™t make that question any more specific than it is.

You know what? Now that I think about it, I also fell on my butt a lot.

Which was worse. If youā€™re falling on your face you can reach out and stop yourself. Whereas your butt just falls squarely on the ice and ouch. Especially if you donā€™t have much of one.
