Dragon Riding = Water Striders 2.0

Yeah. It says nothing about not opening regular mounts up in the future. Rofl. I can’t have this discussion again. Continue with your know it all were doomed to suffer forever gloom.

again…the wowhead statement says exactly that.

“Blizzard has confirmed that you will only be able to “fly” in the Dragon Isles using the new Dragonriding system. Your broader mount collection will act only as ground mounts in the new zones.”

My hopes and dreams aren’t the ones being shattered because I can’t use my regular mounts. I’m very much looking forward to the new system and something different.

It will be funny when in the future they allow all mounts to fly in dragon lands. Y’all just trashing this game to trash it. Regular GD conversations.

Good night!

so what? lmao…WE were looking forward to them too…then we were told Ion is up to his usual games again with flight and ruined what COULD have been a great expansion announcement
sorry son…you dont get to blame ME or US for HIS flight hate and behavior. lmao

IF they were to do so in defiance of that statement…GREAT…THAT is what we WANT lmao. Did you somehow miss that fact? lol.
But for here and now TODAY, that AINT what it looks like

Y’all shilling just to shill…lol.

They literally hate anything that gets in the way of their world quest. Truly stuck in Bobby Kotick’s Maze. They have no idea how good it is on the other side.

You know, this is where I don’t get the disconnect. I am fine with something new and different as long as it doesn’t replace what I already have.

If I want to go to McDOnalds (Blizzard) to get a Big Mac (play WoW) don’t change the secret sauce or turn the burgers into chicken patties. By all means add a chicken sandwich, but don’t remove the reason I am going there. If I wanted a Whopper (GW2 flying with no WoW flying) I would go to Burger King

It’s either this or no flying at all in the beginning. The past 2 expansions have literally been no flying. I’ll take what I can get at this point seeing blizzies track record.

And that’s why so many are vocal about this. They are saying they are listening to us, but they really are not - monkey paw thing again.

When they get away from the multi-level map design with "one true path ™ ’ I might care less about flying. It wasn’t a major issue for me until WoD when they changed the way they design the small vertical maps

lmao…his comment …lmao…nearly made me choke on my stinking cereal here lol
Bliz track record here is WHY some of us are getting irritated about this announcement.
IF Ion had a great history of making the game great and NOT ticking player off and having to perpetually come back apologizing and promising to listen next time,…IF that were the case, I think we’d look at the Wowhead comment as very suspicious.
But given Ions ‘track record’ it actually fits the ongoing passive aggression against flight and players who like it narrative.

What you have should be replaced because it is bad for the future of the game.

And you accused me of “me me me”

All I hear from you is gimme what I want and take away what they want.

All I am saying is let everyone have what they want.

win win

It’s not a win win, the game loses. Nice try.

Really? Yo are not the sharpest tool in the shed are you?

If you get your flying, you are happy.
If I get my flying, I am happy.

If we are happy we both stay and game makes money.

Unless you really wanna just come clean and give the excuse you are trying to hide as to why both can’t co exist?

If you keep your flying the game continues to suck. If blizzard evolves flying past what we had in 2007 the game has a chance to become more than a world quest simulator. I am right, you are wrong. That is the bottom line.

How does my flying make the game suck. Please be specific.

What I do does not affect you in any way shape or form

You are so deep in Bobby Kotick’s maze you can not even see a way out. That is a problem. You don’t want new flying because you think it’s bad. You want to keep old flying because you think it’s good.

You are correct. The flying we have now is good. It’s really good. It’s overpowered. It’s so overpowered it has completely taken over every single aspect of open world design in the game. It’s become so ubiquitous you can’t even see how its absence in return for a more interactive, engaging form of flight could improve the game.

In essence, you’re a trained animal and you don’t even realize it.

:point_up_2: :point_up_2: :point_up_2:

99% of the time when you see that in here its the gankers who cant compete in REAL world pvp against GOOD players getting upset that flight lets their lowbie gank victims have a way to get away lol

edit…good luck with that last word salad sandwich of his. lmao.

Um you throw this out like it’s an insult or if I even care who that dude is (thought I do know).

I am fine with new flying - this is what you don’t understand

I know it’s good for the way I play the game. I am tired of loosing good things for stuff that ends up being much worse for no reason. Like Water striders. We lost something many of us wanted and replaced with an inferior system, when they simply could have left the water strider alone (like they did shredders) and just add the new system - but they couldn’t. I can’t say why, I could imply like everyone else here does, but all I know it’s looks petty - like you wanting your flying while at the same time demanding mine be removed. I want to try both and maybe keep the best if we have to choose.

I keep hearing you say thins, but all I keep saying is I wan 4th map designs back from Vanilla - you know, before there was flying. How is my flying destroying something that existed before flying?

Dude you are so so caught up in this you are just I don’t know. Take a breath man.
