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

Here’s a free Ferrari

@Virus-nagrand

jump through some other hoops

Your mention of Ferrari had me chuckling considering even Jay Leno won’t own one because of all the hoops you have to jump through in order to buy one. lol My favorite story was a local wealthy businessman, who already owned a few Ferrari’s, suing them over not being allowed the opportunity to buy the latest special Ferrari at the time.

Exactly , locking it behind a campaign that they can’t even play is ridonkulous. There are a bunch of people who still can’t play dragonflight because of the restriction now.

[Ghaghzull-malganis]

Tbh, I don’t think that you were going purchase WW anyway. This is a huge victory for TBC flyers and you take that victory lap.

@Akio-nazgrel

I personally don’t think the old flying should ever have been introduced into the game. I liked the game much better when everyone was on the ground and you would see other people on the roads all the time.

Tbh I think everyone is way too heavily dependent on flying in gerneal

What a strange world we live in lol

Traditional flight makes the exploration side of the game more fun for me. I have time to take in the sights and observe the terrain in detail from whatever distance I choose.

Actually a very good point. DRing does make it a bit harder to actually look at the scenery youre passing over compared to old flight where youre just a passenger on the plane with a window seat, lol

[Bigflikker-tichondrius]

@Bulakzebgor-faerlina

But if dynamic flight is so much better than traditional flying, won’t all those new people just automatically use dynamic flight when presented with the option?

You know how stubborn and resistant to change the WoW community is lol. If a Classic player or a returning retail player comes back they may never try it because it’s a “system”.

@Thorland-gnomeregan

I’ve played since vanilla and never had issue getting around Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor on land mounts.

I think you’re underestimating how huge the DF zones are. Far, far bigger than the old world zones.

@Bigflikker-tichondrius

It will be really funny to see people crying for speed buffs to old outdated flying because it takes them 10 minutes to get from one side of a zone to the other, rather then the few minutes that dynamic flight can.

[Lucaria-lightbringer]

Anything to demonize old flying.

[Junbel-wyrmrest-accord]

This is just a guess, but could this decision be due to how the new zones will supposedly be stacked vertically? Maybe dynamic flight limitations/vigor will be used to gate our progress into the different zones. If this were the case, then TBC flying could potentially break the devs’ intended experience.

That’s the only thing I can think of to justify not allowing TBC flying from the beginning.

@Thorland-gnomeregan

It’s frustrating when you can’t play in a way that was entirely acceptable for over a decade.

Things change. You’re saying we shouldn’t have changes, just because. It’s like saying we shouldn’t have class changes and should go back to how class design was in wrath because what’s wrong with class design that was entirely acceptable back then? Why not go back to vanilla class design? It worked for a long time before TBC came out.

Yeah… that’s not how people are normally wired.

[Vandene-tichondrius]

@Junbel-wyrmrest-accord

gate our progress into the different zones

Nah it is possible to infinitely fly vertically with dragonriding.

[Blackbison-lothar (Blackbison)]

Change can be a mixed bag… sometimes good, sometimes bad.

Removing something is rarely good though.

Even with class changes, when people got upset with them it was often due to something being removed.

[Opalunaiya-bleeding-hollow]

@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.

In other words, they’ve designed the terrain and content so people who struggle with dragonriding will have to use it nonetheless to complete the requirements for normal flying.

@Kailhots-sargeras

Slow flight is afking the game.

Translation: “You people who claim to have a disability aren’t working the game like two jobs as I like to pretend I do. I’m a real gamer, and a real gamer never needs to look at a map, because they know everything. They never deal with household responsibilities, they just let other people in their household cater to them.”

I guess Blizzard is still working on the assumption that the game will be more successful if a lot of people who are still playing are purged from it.

[Skalpy-darkspear]

I’m enjoying the puppet show.

[Bulakzebgor-faerlina]

@Ghaghzull-malganis

it’s not a huge victory in any way shape or form…

people are still forced to use dynamic flight to level, do the max level campaign and explore the entire new zones…

for what reason? why did blizzard do this?

[Vulkova-illidan]

@Opalunaiya-bleeding-hollow

I guess Blizzard is still working on the assumption that the game will be more successful if a lot of people who are still playing are purged from it.

Yes because the majority of people playing WoW are disabled

[Thelei-stormrage]

If one type of flying is available, they both should be available…or neither should be available and have the same unlock requirements.

[Skalpy-darkspear]

The same reason Mario bros players are forced to jump on top of things I imagine.

[Opalunaiya-bleeding-hollow]

@Vulkova-illidan

I see you enjoy mocking people who struggled to use dynamic flying. Especially it seems it bothers you that they won’t get over their disability or impairment as you think you would have if you hadn’t chosen to be born without a disability. This says more about you than about the people who, for a variety of reasons, find it difficult or just don’t like it.
