I don’t know what you’re talking about.
To me, steady flying feels like I’m swimming through molasses. It’s horrible, slow and uninteractive. It’s boring.
Dynamic Flying is better in just about every respect. With dynamic flying, I feel much more like I’m actually flying. And since dynamic flying flight speed is almost twice as fast as steady flying, it gets me where I want to go way faster.
Actually Dragon Flying is slower now in TWW then it was in Dragon Flight…you seem not to notice it but I do…its slower in TWW zone.
Yes. Speed for dynamic flying was reduced from over 800 to over 700.
Meanwhile even buffed, Steady flyings caps around 430. Dynamic flying is still nearly twice as fast.
Man, can’t believe I’m still getting upvotes on comment 5. Old topic is old.
DR is a downgrade from where it was an expansion ago till now in most situations.
TBC normal flying gained speed but is still not too fast for people with motion sickness. It is just right with its precision and control.
One thing I’m curious about. In previous expansions once you completed pathfinder if you used the random mount button it only gave you flying mounts. Now if I use it 9/10 times it gives me a ground mount. I’m wondering if this is intentional or not.
They dedicated an entire expansion to this “Riding” Nonsense. And since they are in denial it wasn’t a fan favorite success that everyone loves! They’ve punked us.
Well played Blizz. If you hate dragon riding (As much as I do) haha! this is all you’ll get!
Nevermind the flight style switch, oh no. We are gonna one up you.
These maps scream normal flying. Instead… we have to face first dive bomb into cliffs, and summon a 50ft dragon to hop up a 10ft rock, after a full 360 of corse…
Total time to unlock normal flying for me was about 45 minutes. You complete the critical path campaign and explore the four zones. Boom, done.
You only have to explore each of the four new zones.
It takes 20 minutes.

I stopped purchasing new expansion after MOP due to all things Pathfinder. I did continue playing though for several years, just always, at least, one expansion behind. I continued to hope that someone at Blizzard would realize how poor of decision Pathfinder was/is and stop making it a requirement to fly. However, I finally admitted to myself that THIS would never happen and a few years ago , after many years of playing, I unsubscribed. I came back about a year ago due to some health issues that included strict physical activity restrictions…I was so boarded !!! I’m almost in the clear of these now and suspect I will be unsubscribing again.

Good news then friend. Dragonflight unlocks flying within the opening minutes of the expansion.
The war within has flying from the first moment.
