Change regular flying speed to match dragon flying speed

Title. nothing more needs to be added

As someone who uses steady flying 99% of the time, no.

Steady flying has the ability to hover and is more precise. Skyriding has speed. That’s the trade off.

Add a button to DRAGON RIDING to simply hover

Yeah speed it up even more. But let the walk key reduce it so ppl can still chill and enjoy the views.

They already upped it to 420 from 310, if they upped it anymore no one would bother with skyriding since it would be faster to just fly straight without the roller coaster gimmick or skyriding.

Please no, I mostly use steady flying because the speed gives me motion sickness.

I really wish aerial halt actually just locked you in place instead of you slowly drifting forward and down.

people only skyride cause its faster that garbage is for the birds. let us just pick which one we want instead

I wouldn’t mind it a bit faster but I use steady flight almost all the time and I don’t think it needs changing either.

my mounts are 530 with steady flight. I dont think theyre gonna make it compete with skyriding on speed.

I DO, however, remember the promises in here during DF that we’d NEVER ask for steady flight to be as fast as skyriding if we could only get steady flight easier.

Guess that wasnt exactly a forthright promise.

I skyride because I find it fun on its own right, it’s arrogant to assume you know why others do what they do.

No thanks, I’d rather avoid the frustration of overshooting everything in both flying types.

13

Just let me fast travel

14

I would take maybe an extra 100% speed added on.

15

No, that would make me quit the game. I like the slower flight. Sky riding makes me physically sick.

16

The slower speed of steady flight allows for more precision.

If it was as fast as skyriding we would lose a lot of that.

IMO, 420% is sufficient.

17

a reason would be a good addition.

18

I’d like skyriding/static flight toggle to be a toggle for each individual mount.

Then I can set one mount as skyriding and another as static flight.

19

Why does there need to be a trade off? Can it not just be about personal preference?
Many would still go for Sky Riding for the animations.

It is about personal preference. Do you prefer the speed of skyriding or the precision/hovering of steady?

If steady was as fast as skyriding there would be no reason to use skyriding.
