Dragonriding is cool, no doubt. It is super fast too–which can be time saving. You unlock all of the talents and it is pretty good.
That said, I find it kind of fast and overly exhilarating. It is almost what you might imagine driving a jet plane at full speed through traffic.
On the other hand you have regular flying. The thing is, you can hover with it. You can come to a full stop midair. I like that. It allows you to look around before flying full speed into an army of mobs and having a heart attack because of it.
I personally would like to have both vs one or the other. That the case, I can only wonder when regular flying unlocks, if at all.
Seconded. I think normal flying should be allowed, at least after doing the story once or something. Give players the option to not partake if they don’t want to or physically can’t.
I imagine they will eventually add regular flying. I think it still has a place alongside dragonriding’s ultra high speed. But I wouldn’t go expecting it anytime soon.
Except it’s asking for the option for both and not discussing exclusively “dragonriding gud” or “dragonriding bad”. It’s a nice breath of fresh air to have open discussions about alternatives instead of everyone disagreeing and screaming at eachother.
Its pretty bad when you ask a grown man to give you something instead of playing controlling games with it for nigh on a year, when he finally does relent he gives you a complete exaggeration of the very definition of simplicity that you had requested, the exact motivation is yet to be entirely revealed.
I really love DRing, and I could to it instead of normal flight personally, but WE asked for flight from day one, not for flight to be removed and replaced with something that was going to cause our fellow gamers to have so much trouble playing the game.
posted this from another thread because ‘they’ will be here soon…
Dont allow players on normal mounts to get the dragon glyphs to keep it “fair”
Change normal flight so AFK flying is impossible by making the mount fall at a moderate speed toward the ground if its not moving forward to simulate ‘lift’.
I think that would be acceptable to the normal flight players…they just cant AFK hover, but it’d be normal flight in every other way.
As blizzard stated, it’ll come later in the expansion. They aren’t going to do it now, it’s been 5 days. Dragonriding is a major feature of the expansion. Plus it’s so much better than “regular flying.”
More like Siaata zooms past flying mobs at super speed
Mob 1: What the heck was that?
Mob 2: I do not know, maybe a Dragon?
Mob 1: Think we should go after it?
Mob 2: Nah, she’s already out of aggro range.
Mob 3: HEY I JUST SPOTTED A SLOWPOKE ON A NORMAL FLYING MOUNT COMING THIS WAY! PREPARE FOR AMBUSH ALPHA 2!
Mob 1 and 2: ROGER!
But yeah, I would like to see the old flying system implemented, even if I probably will use Dragon Riding most of the time.
I just hope that Blizzard will eventually port the system to every WoW zone so as to make it just doesn’t be a gimmick limited to the Dragon Isles. Though, they will probably have to adjust the skybox in order to make sure we don’t end our stylish descent by hitting an invisible wall in the sky.
