Dynamic but not static flying day 1 in War Within? Let's get some answers

[Sasarai-blades-edge]

I would also like to understand why but I am perfectly okay with it

The launch may have weeks before the full campaign is unlocked.

Yea, I considered that, but it just doesn’t jive with the whole raison d’etre they’ve advocated for this all this time.

I appreciate the “let them eat dragon riding” for the early chunk of the expansion, “force” adoption, give folks a reason to get used to it, etc.

But, once the cats out of the bag, the delay for the campaign just seems really petty.

[Khronys-aerie-peak]

I’ve been trying to be a bit more positive and give chances etc but I mean;

@Piddy-uther

Seems right up their alley.

Delay for static flying also.

One is for ‘pacing’ reasons… other is at this point, probably out of spite lol
I think devs want to funnel as much people into their new thing so to speak and in this case dynamic flying.

I just can’t see the reason now with dynamic flying… why delay regular flying.
Just an odd thing that’s all.

[Linaori-demon-soul]

Both methods of flying should be treated equally. Either we got both, or we get neither right away.

[Mythosaur-frostwolf]

just like how the worgen and druids had an advantage in the maw?

Right, it just stands out in left field with the rest.

Hovering is a “nice” feature of TBC flight, but it doesn’t change the dynamic of questing. I have no problem mounting my dragon, climbing to 10000 feet, turn around, and come hurtling into a zone and skipping over whatever it is I want to skip over. I don’t need hovering for that.

Even when camping event spawns, you know those folks, they just hover over the area, let the pleebs kill the trash, then drop down and tag the boss. With DR, you just perch on a nearby rock. Don’t need hovering for that either, hardly a game changer.

[Thorland-gnomeregan (Thorland)]

Well, that’s irritating and doesn’t bode well for me. I simply don’t like dragon riding enough to want to use it all the time while I’m questing. Never have I desired or wanted something like dynamic flight to be so integral that it’s pretty much a requirement. If that’s the way they want to go I’m fine with saying the game isn’t for me anymore.

[Kailhots-sargeras]

No,

I’ll be using dynamic flight day one.

TBC flight can burn in a barrel fire for all I care.

[Copperfield-silvermoon]

If they are gating it, I suspect there is world quests, or treasures in the world that the normal flying will trivialize in some way. Although not sure how considering how easy it is to use dynamic flight. Perhaps there will be new things in the world to hinder us as we climb.

[Kailhots-sargeras]

This is fine. Keep it like this.

TBC flight needs to be phased out. If you can’t dragonride there are flight paths and ground mounts. Heck, bring back the whistle for them.

@Nickaeladin-thrall

" Dynamic Flight will be available from the start in Khaz Algar and players will be able to unlock the TBC style of flight at maximum level by exploring the zones of The War Within and completing the campaign."

So basically a pathfinder for the far worse version of dynamic flight. If they want to go that way, they should turn dynamic flight into the maximum level unlock and have the accessibility option day 1 (TBC Style).

[Kailhots-sargeras]

Slow flight is afking the game.

[Kailhots-sargeras]

No thank you.

[Archewing-azjolnerub]

You get it after finishing the campaign so like a day? Dying on the wrong hill. I will not be “standing” with this.

That is your opinion and I hope to GOD Blizzard doesn’t listen. I am one that is affected by severe motion sickness from Dragon riding. You are wanting to punish those of us who are being punished enough as it is since we have to wait.

[Khronys-aerie-peak]

So gate keep, remove things that affect you in no way lol
You have quite the attitude

Why? How does that benefit players?

It’s flipped and doesn’t make sense to me. Dynamic Flight is what many people want to use going forward. That’s cool. But why have TBC flight gated in any way when Dynamic Flight is not? I’d really like to hear the reasoning from Blizzard.

Then don’t do it, why are you in this fight?

Good for you.

They answered it already a bunch of times every time they talked about the reasoning behind pathfinding sense the dawn of it’s existence. They feel traditional flight trivializes the world as it has no interaction with the game, Dynamic flight resolves this as it requires you to interact with the game.

[Boredumb-alexstrasza]

Why?

What’s the point of that?

[Boredumb-alexstrasza]

@Copperfield-silvermoon

And since the dawn of its existence, the playerbase has rightfully called out Blizzard for their cow dung.
