The motion sickness is a problem as well, and the recharging is horrible, and the fact this feature is already DOA. It will never go past the dragon isles or even Azeroth because if it did, it would nullify regular mounts, which begs the question, who is this for? why sanction your team to produce a system that will never be anything more than a gimmick that is disposable?

Yea, it reeks of people just being mad they can’t have regular flying on day 1 and play the game half afk.
They forget that back when you could fly right away, you were going something like 150% speed compared to dragon riding’s 800%+.

Yeah, they took this mechanic from GW2 and it works there because you dont actually have flying. Here, they take flying and give gliding in its place.
It makes one or the other pointless.

just spacebar to hop off the ground, then pull your mouse back to nose straight up and fire off your space bar.
Youll climb VERY fast.
you have to level out and nose down enough to regain vigor charges…then nose up again and space bar (Skyward Ascent) again.
Once you get your talent tree mostly done, its a LOT easier.
But thats the point…you and your dragon are learning to ride together.

Will try that later. I think I got 4 or 5 vigor charges now… still is not the greatest for people with motion sickness or vision issue. I know I have some issue with it 20/60 vision born with eye issue. So I have a big monitior (33inch) that’s like right up to my face to see anything. Dragon riding have not been fun for me.

As my Optometrists told my wife since I was ever able to see about 50 to 60% of what normal people can see, we might think is terrible but for him(me) but is not so bad for me personally since I never experience what is like to have normal vision. He also mention that our body, mind will adjust and train us to work with what we have. So if I have bad vision my body and brain would make adjustment on their own to make it work for me.
Kinda of like a kid never had candies before, they don’t know what they are missing coz they never try it.

That’s the thing, the game has been live for 18 years…we’ve already learned how to play the game, so some people don’t want to keep learning how to play the game perpetually.

Do you not know how to work a mouse ?
The forums are always a endless source of entertainment.

Try flying away in a direction you have few or zero obstacles to gain momentum, then spend all your vigor going up, paying attention on your speed to maximize how high you can go. When you reach your limit, you’ll probably be far away from the glyph but also in a higher position than it is. Then, descend very little to avoid falling, even while you lose speed, and you go for the glyph (don’t hit anything or you might fall, you know the drill). Or just get other glyphs first and come back for this specific one later
WTF? We have to relearn how to play our classes every x-pac.

So what you are saying is that Blizzard did not listen to their customers. Instead they held the shinny up and you all fell for the ruse. Interesting 
And btw, I stand by my statement. This has nothing to do with learning how to play the game. The game is listed as a MMORPG, not a single player flying game.

Most players would be pretty bored if the specs still played like Vanilla.
So you’ve personally interviewed most players I see.
I agree. I don’t want to have to spend all of my gaming time conducting research just so that I can kill stuff. I’d rather be able to explore the environment and… well… kill stuff.

It’s super obvious how common AFK autopiloting is when you’re watching the map while sitting at a summon stone waiting for party members. They’re always going in a perfectly straight line, which nobody does when they’re flying manually. There’s no way they’re not alt-tabbed out checking their snaptogram or instachat or ticktwit or whatever. The average attention span has dwindled to that of a goldfish on caffeine and it shows.
