So with the big emphasis on a new ground mount, is flying going to be disabled in the new Undermine zone?

sounds like a real easy way to lose a lot of subscribers really quick.

Probably. They could always allow it to fly outside the zone.

Probably going back to that outdated and extremely annoying decision to force us all on ground mounts until the timegate they put in place to unlock flying in the new zone expires.

I hope so. Time to do some exploring and feel danger again.

there is a long list of zones that didnt have flight (and most still dont) and it was fine because getting around those zones without flying (generally) wasnt horrible as they were relatively small.
The big problem was when they made new expansions entirely a âno fly zoneâ

I am not sure if you realize this, but did you notice they announced 5 new classic modes with this outdated annoying content decision. I am guessing there is a reason for that.
I did, and itâs because those modes are all dying because thereâs no new content so they have to refresh the same thing over and over to keep people interested.
I also noticed your comment here and I always see people saying that even though there is nothing stopping you guys from using ground mounts right now while the rest of us fly around.

Just go play Classic, theyâre launching new servers. You have options and you still want retail to suffer and kill retail. Itâs just so silly. Go away.

Hopefully I can ignore the DRIVE system like I do dynamic flight.
I get that the devs will want us to try their fancy new system, so I donât expect flight at launch. I donât like that, but Iâm trying to be realistic based on the launch of a new feature. I do hope they enable both forms of flight without too much of a delay.
Iâm already intending to wait 6 weeks before setting foot in the Siren Isle (when flight is available there). Hopefully I can avoid Undermine as well until the time if/when both forms of flight are available.

The only âgoodâ thing about having a zone with no flying is that it gives people a reason to use their huge collection of ground-only mounts.
âŠso they make a special ground mount that invalidates all other ground mounts? Do people really care about driving this dumb âspecialâ mount on gimmicky special roads or whatever?
Can we please just get back to making the actual game good, and spend less time on gimmicks?

your worried about flying?? iâm more worried about driving one of those darn things, with their talk of drifting! makes me real worried about how slippery the controls will be⊠also, the fact that theyâre undermine-only mounts, sucks.

That is my main concern. It feels like they are adding a driving mechanic that could be more annoying than dragonflying.
I mean it has the typical Blizzard thing: here is the goblin car everyone wanted. But it is zone only and its own mini game.
Sigh.
Wonder if its radio works⊠the goblin starting area is one of my favorites.

If this is like âdynamic flyingâ for ground mounts, then Iâm all in. I hope after the patch it spreads to all ground mounts, much like dragonriding>skyriding.
You can do a lot with this too. Going uphill? Slow down. Downhill? Speed up. Steering shakes when going downhill too fast, and you can spin out losing all speed. The faster you go, the longer your jump distance gets. Etc.

mmm. i have a couple guesses/worries about how theyâll work, maybe theyâll automatically move, or⊠ârollâ if we donât hold the brake button, thereâll be a gas button, a handbrake button, a rocket/buzzsaw/lightning-gun button (goblin cars. theyâre gonna have weapons), a radio button, a drift button with mario-kart-esque drifting, a nitro button for extreme speed⊠the list goes on.
One thing that I donât expect to go over very well is being restricted to a single mount. Being able to use any mount from my mount collection is important.

A flying car would be awesome.

Take a page out of FFXIV (again) which took it from FFXV. A transforming car from ground vehicle to Aircraft.
That would be sweet. I love the flying car mount from FFXIV.
I remember seeing that you would need to max out some rep on Siren Isle to be able to fly, so no amount of waiting will get you flying there until an expac or two down the road.
