I was not responding to or talking about people with issues. Just what I quoted. Still stand by it if you want to try to respond again.
As for those with genuine medical issues I hope blizzard can add more accessibility settings quickly to make DR more user friendly for all.
Or now hear me out. Put Req flying in the game. NO coding needed,
I would feel fine if both systems existed together with no changes. Let the new system have the speed and the old one have the precision. And then explain to the players that it is the intention.
Itâs win/win for Blizzard because it should please everyone (that isnât a control freak) and it would encourage some people to actually play at a slower pace.
Perfectly boring. No thanks, dragon riding is the future, air swimming should remain in the past
Something people that want regular flying in DF dont realize is how large the zones actually are compared to zones we have regular flying in. Azure Span is around 9000 yards across, when in comparison, Elwynn Forest is 2500 yards across. It took me 2:20 to fly across Azure Span with Dragonriding, at cruising speed, no burst or spin unless I lost my cruise speed to keep gaining vigor. It takes over 1:30 just to regular fly across Elwynn. That means it would take over 5 minutes to fly across Azure Span on a regular flying mount.
Dragonriding is much faster, and tailored to the zones, and I dont think people understand that. They will be bringing regular flying to Dragonflight zones, they have already confirmed that, but I know for a fact as soon as people realize how much slower it is, and how huge these zones actually are, they will be back complaining to increase regular flying speed to substitute for zone size.
Iâm not hating on anyone that has issues with Dragonriding, I get it, some could care less about going fast, some canât keep up with the speed and maneuver that well due to illness/age/other factors, I just want to simply point out that these zones are MASSIVE, they just dont feel that way because of Dragonriding
I never thought it got old to take a flight path and then mount up. Other than the obvious mechanic change, I donât see much difference.
Notice how all of these fake threads have super low post counts. Bot farmers, yâall need to try harder. If you can play a class, then you can do dragon riding.
My only complaint with DR is I canât use my favorite mounts, such as the ironbound protodrake. If they toggled all flying mounts to use the DR system, Iâd never look back on old flying.
That said, both systems should be available for players to choose. Botting aside, there are legitimate reasons to prefer old flying, including mount restrictions for DR.
Iâm playing wrath and I got to fly as soon as I finished Leveling. Then I got to buy books for my ALTs to fly right away. I want to use the all the mounts I spent so much time getting!
Iâd be okay with them bringing regular flight to dragon flight as long they keep regular flying at 310% and over 1000% on dragon riding only. Also, make dragon riding available in the regular world while theyâre at it.
You know thatâs going to happen. Theyâre going to get regular flying realize itâs slow and going to want dragon riding speed. Basically theyâre going to want their cake and eat it too.
Did you even read the OPâs post? Theyâre old and physically canât manage the system.
Itâs like telling a dude on a wheelchair that thereâs nothing wrong with stairs because your legs work just fine.
stand still > Point in a direction >
Push space bar > push space bar > push space bar,
level out horizontally > glide to your destination at about the same speed as old flying mounts
If dude can push the sophisticated 20+ abilities required for combat in here, then i think he can handle DragonFlight
Regular flying is old, out dated; and awful.
No.
A better plea would be for dragon riding to be available everywhere in WoW. It feels awful without it.
Your mistake for thinking theyâre pushing 20+ abilities. Casual players only need six to get around world content and normal instanced content.
I donât think you realize just how much casual players can get away with when theyâre not chasing endgame content. Grey parses kill world mobs just fine.
6 is still more than what i use to dragonflight which is space bar and mouselook lol
The issue is less the buttons and more about the speed at which everything happens.
During combat, you can literally stand still and just hit buttons. Maybe get out of the way of a telegraphed attack, but otherwise, youâre fine.
With dragonflight, itâs less about the challenges of combat and more about the challenges of racing. It doesnât help that the process is poorly explained in the first place: it took me a while to figure out how the vigor system works, then I had to hit up a site to find out how to ride more efficiently. Other than a too-short tutorial, none of this is explained in-game. You can get a feel for it, but the real issues start when you start picking up speed.
Classic flight isnât very quick: itâs faster than ground mounts, but itâs still pretty slow. You can hover, which is nice, but you can take your time with it. Dragonflight is different: the thing most people love about it will downright terrify other people, and it probably has a lot to do with the speed.
Mind you, OP has already commented that they are older. When you get going, dragonflight is really fast - as in, everything is zooming by and this is unbelievably quick - I think itâs thrilling as all hell, but when your reflexes are slow, fast is the last thing you want to experience. Itâs like images are passing by too fast, and because the system isnât well-explained, you donât know when youâre going to go into a burst of speed or how to slow down. Not that youâd want to because the system punishes you for slowing down and stopping. Need to take a breather? Too bad, once you land, youâre gonna have to wait for your vigor to refill before you can take off again.
To use an old and tired stereotype, some people should just need to stay in the slow lane. Dragonflight not only throws them into the fast lane, it puts them on a roller coaster.
Frankly, if you donât like dragon riding or donât want to try to learn how to do it or simply canât do it, you can still use a ground mount.
I hope Blizzard takes an accurate accounting of who enjoys dragon riding because my fear is the squeaky wheel is going to ruin it for everyone. Thereâs a great majority of people who donât post on the forums because they are having a great time riding their dragonsâŠ
In general, i can respon quickly to fights and such. but something about the speed (dragon barely moving on screen vs background moving fast) gives me minor motion sickness and a headache. 310 flight does not do that. I also donât like being a passenger in a vehicle because i get similar issues. I can drive, but its not enjoyable.
between that and the hover/precision landing? to me, old flight will always be orders of magnitude better.
If iâm WAY high up, like trying to cross a zone entirely? no real issues. Out farming/questing? the speeds trying to regen vigor start to trigger the headaches. I donât raid. I donât dungeon much. Open world crafting/gathering/rep grinds are why i play the game.
Noone is saying âtake away Dragonridingâ and the zones are built with a HUGE chunk of the zones actively designed to either a) be unreachable without flight, or b) be absolutely painful to reach without flight. âgo back to the ground mountsâ doesnât work if the zones arenât designed for it.
Spacebar(jump) a few times and then horizontal glide about the same speed as old flying mounts.
Then to land just look slightly up and youll slowly sink down.
Your âits too fastâ isnt that fast at all lol its about the same.
