I just want them to open up normal flying. I still can’t find certain entrances in forgotten reach due to blazing over the area at 800% speed and not really being able to so much as stabilize my camera while doing so to take a closer look. Also I accidentally queued for a DF dungeon instead of a timewalk the other day and I caught the one that has you dragonriding all over the map. It was gimmicky and I died several times due to getting dismounted near the last boss yet being in the middle of patrols at the same time. Alone. Because everyone else knew what to do but I was two seconds behind so couldn’t see.
It’s a gimmick. I don’t generally like gimmicks. Said it before and will again, I’ll gladly take being slower if it means I get the old means of control back. It is so much more important for me to be able to hover and check things than “oop there it is, now it’s gone” over everything.
Even trying to get to world quests is wonky because I can fly past them before the game can even tell me I’m there. My compass just starts spinning and I need to start doing loops to try to pinpoint, and even then sometimes I need to land, recalculate, and fly again to get there.
What a headache. Since I started flying straight into the air to gain a retarded amount of altitude so as not to stall out, the problem is no longer “running out of gas.” Now it’s just going so fast or being so high in the sky that I can’t see where I’m supposed to land.
This system is never going to satisfy me so bring on old slow afk-in-the-air flight PLEASE. I’m willing to trade full flight for dracthyr and let people ride dragons in the old world as “payment.” Pass me on your dragon, please, by all means. I could care less what anyone else in the game is allowed to do I just want to go back to having full and total control of my movement in the air.
It really is the entire reason why I can’t enjoy forgotten reach and I just hope the 10.1 cave is not more of the same. Also way to obsolete ground mounts. Four expansions in a row I could get by on a ground mount and flight was just icing. Now I gotta fly in a way I don’t even enjoy with no real option to go it on the ground due to cliffs cliffs and more cliffs. Everywhere cliffs. And the land is so vast yet I can get to any corner of it flying a dragon in about a minute. If you don’t have the dragon in this zone it’s always going to feel weird and drawn out but I’ll still take that over “oof there it is, I mean was.”
