A baker doesn’t eat the cake he bakes - he sells it. So what?
Also the devs DON’T want flying at all. Pathfinder is the compromise - your only other alternative is no flying at all. So pick which you prefer.
Also I’m reporting this thread for spam. There are heaps of other pathfinder topics. Post there. It’s the same 50 people cluttering the forums trying to make it appear like there is a pathfinder emergency.
Newsflash - there isn’t.
Because they don’t want flying in the game at all.
They took it out and only brought it back when the player base rebelled. They implemented Pathfinder to force us to play the game their way for as long as possible.
Note: I don’t mind Pathfinder as a concept. I enjoy working toward a goal that will earn flying for all my characters at once. What I hate about it is the two-part nonsense* that doesn’t make the second part available until nearly a year into an expansion.
*pretend this is a word that would be censored, and you’ll more accurately get my feelings on this subject.
They make the game. They play internal builds. Stop focusing on their public character.
I know a chef who doesn’t like to cook crazy meals at home, because they spend all day cooking at a restaurant. By your logic they must hate their own cooking.
Again, this whole thread is just finding another excuse to be angry about something.
At this point I believe they could just remove mounts all together and you guys would defend it to the ends of the Earth.
Pathfinder is not that bad. It comes too late, it should complete in 9.1. That is my main objection, the rest is simple.
Realistically the devs could just give themselves pathfinder.
Help! I put a lawyer in charge of a game and he did lawyer things.
If Blizz wants to remove flying, then they can remove flying. My problem with their level design is that the last few expansions have been messes of terraced nonsense to the point it actually makes the content more convenient to do when you have flying.
The last real wide open plain area we had was Shadowmoon Valley in WoD. Granted the last two expansions have seen us on islands, but still. I hate the claustrophobic feeling of the zones.
You need to pay more attention to reality.
Pathfinder exists because the devs didn’t want flying in the game at all. They removed it from WoD and all other expansions going forward from that point. People complained partly because they have flying mounts–some of which were purchased from the store. The devs had to reintroduce flying, and they did it through Pathfinder.
It doesn’t matter whether or not the devs have done Pathfinder. The “content” they want us to experience is their entire game–from the ground. Pathfinder is NOT what they were talking about–all the outside world where you can ride ground mounts is.
So let me see if I’m understanding this correctly.
You are saying that a dev who hates flying and thinks it has ruined his game doesn’t have flying yet because they don’t want to go through the tedium of the pathfider requirements and would totally be flying around with the rest of us if those requirements weren’t there and also because they haven’t completed this one achievement out of hundreds of others is your evidence they don’t play their own game.
Shoulda left this one in the oven a little longer my friend cause it’s clearly half baked.
I agree with this. But this is a level design issue more than a flying issue.
It is a level design issue, but it’s a flying issue in such a way that the Devs have stated they don’t want to have flying in the game going forward. And proceed to produce three expansions in which flying became if not required then highly incentivized due to poor level design.
People have said they hated Mechagon. Well I abhor Nazjatar. I fundamentally hate it in a way no other zone in the game has ever incited such a response. When I state this on my server, the most common response I get back is: “Nazjatar’s not bad with flying.”
If you don’t want flying in the game, stop designing zones that seemingly require flying to get any kind of enjoyment out of.
Yes they chose to impose something on ALL players that they don’t want to do themselves. Simple.
Nazjatar strikes me as a zone they originally conceived as underwater, but because of how many players hated Vash’jir, Nazjatar got drained. (Just my opinion.)
Yes, they haven’t done it cause they don’t care about flying. If you care about flying you do it. Simple.
The multiple tiers and over-hangs make negotiating bad… what makes it terrible is the roads are packed with mobs.
It is impossible to freely move around and explore without being attacked with trash or packs of trash. If this zone were twice as big or had half the mob density, it would not be nearly as bad.
Or they have more than one account and you found the profile they “want” you to find? You know, so they can play in peace?
Nobody but the officers of my guild in UO knew we had a game dev in our guild. It was a fun secret.
Again I got flying long ago this is about them forcing it down our throats. They said themselves you’ll get it naturally playing the game. Well they don’t have it.
Yeah, it’s almost like we got unceremoniously dumped in the middle of hostile territory inhabited by one of the most powerful sorcerers in the world and her literal army of minions.
Have you considered that after working on the game 9-5 every day, these devs in question aren’t really interested in playing it in their leisure time as well?
