Eh, kind of agree. 5 sec seems a bit much tbh, 2 sec would be ideal. I usually dont use my dragonriding mount unless i want to go somewhere far, having to change it all the time would be a bit annoyng.

Same. I was hoping there would either be a static flight macro, or be able to combine it into switching, start mounting, and switch back all in the same button.
Cooldown means getting stuck in the wrong flight mode and needing another weakaura for something that shouldnât be so awkward to display.
If there are separate explicit toggle-off and toggle-on commands that can be macroâd in then I have no problem. Thatâs a bigger coding hurdle than ditching the swap cd though, so if it does not already exist then the odds of it getting implemented are extremely tiny.

When something works fine and is changed to be inferior, it should be criticized. Enough of the âyou people will complain about anythingâ straw man apologism.

5 seconds is an absolute nothing to wait. Actually try waiting 5 seconds before you complain about it lest this turn into another follower dungeon debacle where people complained about the 10/day limit before realizing that follower dungeons sucked and required playing for 3+ hours to reach that limit.
Absolutely hilarious.
maybe find a second mount that doesnât support dynamic riding and have that bound to a different key, which iâm guessing is what you do now? like my âsummon favourite mountâ is bound to the D key on all my characters, so it summons a dragonriding mount in dragonriding zones, but I keep my otterworldly ottuk bound to shift+d in case i need to swim/pick something up.
rn it looks like the flying/swimming fusion mounts are not dynamic flight enabled, so the Wonderous Wavewhisker from the 6 month sub/shop and the otterworldly ottuk carrier are - at this stage - going to be slow flying by default. i would imagine the nâzoth fish added to the trading post in the upcoming months will be as well, so keep some tenders handy to invest in those.

And for those of us who are completely boycotting the Glider Racing minigame, it wonât make any difference.

You canât change something thatâs not even in the game yet, so youâre literally creating problems before any exist. âApologismâ. Give me a break. Itâs 5 seconds. Grow up.
Itâs in Alpha

And itâll be in live, too.
Yes, but I was responding to you directly saying that it doesnt exist yet so why complain.
When it does exist.
Iâm glad youâve retreated back to âok so it exists but its fineâ
Thatâs my plan. Seems like the obvious choice compared to switching flight modes.

Ok, fair, Iâll concede to that.
But the point remains.
Itâs 5 seconds.
As long as I can put it on my hotkeys instead of having to open my mount list every time, Iâm fine with this.

I get why many people may not be bothered by it and I think thatâs fair. I happen to use both in conjunction quite frequently so 5 seconds is enough to basically stop a core gameplay loop I have.

It wasnât a intended gameplay loop. Their intention is to make you choose one or the other and then let the people who wonât learn to fly correctly either cave in, bite the bullet and join us in the current decade or die of old age.
Iâd rather it be a mount setting. Have my drakes set to Dynamic Flight, and my Kitteh set to static flight. Then I can just mount the one I want like I do now.
A 5s switchover is tedious.
Like others, I switch all the time.

You donât speak for anybody but yourself. Sit back.
Itâs very frustrating that they keep wanting to put âfrictionâ in accessibility features. I can dragonride fine in a strait line, and given the speed difference, you are punished for not doing so. But I really need regular flying for more fine control stuff, at least for more than a very brief time. So, I swap all the time.
This also has the side effect that people are going to get mad as the non-dynamic mount theyâve chosen to get around this gets converted. Which doesnât seem like the reaction youâd want.
