Dragon Riding Question: How do I slow down LOL

Community General Discussion

I really am having fun with Dragon Flight, I love dragon riding

How do I slow down? you know when you pick up speed, nothing is more amazing than the wind in your face but lately I am over shooting my destination by a “week and a half” as a figure of speech but you know what I mean.

Is there something I’m missing on my bar or maybe in my spell book that I’m over looking ? :joy:

Point up and you’ll lose momentum.

Or just crash land everywhere you go.

This… there are no flaps to act as air brakes, so all your speed is from your vertical pointing angle… point down, gain speed; point up lose speed (possibly stall).

That’s just it. You don’t.

Okay, thanks for the responses. I thought for sure I was missing something. Still like dragon riding but sometimes I feel jet lagged from going to fast.

I honestly wish there were a slow down mechanism. Trying to herb/mine and I fly past them before they show up on my mini map.

A slow down ability would be a nice addition. Make it cost 1 vigor and have it slow you to a hover for 3 seconds. After those 3 seconds you would start moving forward again, but at the slowest possible speed.

Just channel your inner Launchpad McQuack: be the best dragonrider in the world and crash land into everything.

You don’t slow down. You go fast and you land hard, like a man.

Only wusses slow down, and Dragonriding is not for wusses.

It’d be nice, I see the same thing with fishing holes. I’ll either do a climbing 180 to bleed speed before landing, or a fast 180 and slam it home with a mighty THONK. (One of the glyphs gives you a choice of buffs when you do that.)

That said, I kinda doubt we’ll get one.

Bonus points for using the AOE landing glyph skill for that.

Pitch for airspeed, power for altitude! Point up to slow down, point down to speed up. Hit your flappy button to go higher.

To come to an instant stop mid air "air brakes.

Nose dive towards the ground and press the fly upwards button.

You will come to an instant stop mid air and slowly glide wherever you want.
