Dragonriding Passengers

Alright seriously get rid of this in Warmode it’s absolutely stupid.

Before you go “Don’t wanna pvp just turn warmode off” it’s not that I accept if I have warmode on I will probably get ganked while leveling it’s just how it is.

But here’s what I find stupid.
I’m leveling my shaman and I’m just minding my own business mining a rock suddenly a 70 hunter plops down figure yup time to get ganked. Then suddenly POP 1 hunter turns into 5 because apparently you can turn into a little drake thing to be a passenger.

What the absolute hell who thought this was a good idea?

This happened 3 times in the span of 5 minutes which made me say screw it warmode isn’t worth it atm.

But seriously why is this allowed in Warmode?

No different than Hivemind. Just bubble hearth.

Is this fundamentally different than 5 people hopping off of their regular flying mounts to gank you?

Yes actually, because essentially this is just Shroud of Concealment without the cooldown or duration.

Multi-passenger mounts have been a thing for a while.

I understand you posted you’re okay with getting ganked but…This reads like a ‘I got ganked and I’m unhappy about it’ post.

A lot is allowed in War Mode, and PvP in general. Best you can do is adapt best you can, or turn it off.

Other than Hivemind which is very restrictive with the people that may use it at the same time, there are no other mounts that allow you that many passengers yet alone hide them from view.

Also there are no other mounts that just allow you to have 4 passengers. Hivemind is the only one and it’s restricted to the people that unlocked it at the same time.

Just means I can dismount more then 1 at a time.

Get Bliz to change it so there’s a dismount button that takes a few seconds when in warmode.

Wait, dragonriding can have up to four passengers? Really? I feel like we tried this and I could only have one passenger?

Edit: Can only seem to find evidence of one passenger, so I’m confused about this complaint.

This is what it seems like to me.

Allow our mounts to hold up to 4 welplings.

I think that would be fun.

Let’s just remove WM, people who whine about world PvP can go do it on New World or something. :dracthyr_shrug:

Drakes can only have 1 passenger at a time.

Came here to say this. I wish I could take more than 1 though sometimes when trying to help my groups do the Nokhud skip lol.

Wait seriously? Because after being killed the person remounted and each hunter instantly turned into a whelp of that persons mount.

Impossible, you can only have one Ride Along passenger at a time.

Well then there’s a bug or exploit which I know sounds insane because the game is flawless.

They’re bug exploiting with multiboxing or intentionally using it to gank people with guildies. Had a discussion in General last night about it because this same crap has happened to me probably 25-30 times in the last month. 1 turns into many immediately on dismount. Its not 1 person carrying 1 person. its 1 person able to carry a whole group or more. Apparently 1 bug was already patched out, as you could group up, mount up, kick the person out of the group, rinse and repeat until you had several people as dragonlings, readd them to the group and fly off to go cause shenanigans. but now its worse because once they mount up they all mount up and poof, they’re off.

This at the very least needs to be killswitched.

You shouldn’t be able to group mount while in War Mode unless the mount specifically has seats for them. I just wanted to farm Ire. WM/WPVP isn’t fun because of bug exploiters. Sure the game will never be perfect, but I can’t even see where they’ve addressed this in any patch notes and reporting it apparently does nothing.

If i have to start recording all my gameplay to report i’m just gonna drop my sub and go play another game. Blizzard is too big of a company for this BS.

This is exactly what happened.
They landed then suddenly 1 became 5. I’m not even upset about the gank itself that’s just normal but people just appearing in a mass like that was upsetting.

Ahem. SUPPOSED TO. Thats the whole point of this post. Blizzard apparently needs to hire more development staff, because Dragonflight live has PTR level bugs.

Since Blizzard became Blizzard-Activision, the bugs in the game and the time it takes for them to fix them has increased exponentially.
