Flight form speed changes in Shadowlands?

Classes Druid
1

Saw it mentioned somewhere that our flight form top speed in Shadowlands would be 150%. Can anyone with beta access confirm or deny this?

I haven’t seen that in the spell changes on WoWhead. My GM has beta access though I can ask her to double check.

That doesn’t sound super believable though. 150% is absurdly slow even for non-swift Flight Form.

Yeah I only saw one person talking about it and couldn’t find it in the list of class changes.

Normally I’d dismiss it but with the way Blizzard is these days… :man_shrugging:

I wouldn’t mind if regular flight form (not epic) was 150% ground mount speed instead of 100% ground mount speed. They would have to leave the epic flight form as is because I don’t use mounts to fly on my druid.

Definitely, transforming instead of using a mount is a big part of the druid appeal.

My GM was able to get in and check the travel form speeds. Neither ground nor flight form are different from live.

You and your GM are scholars and gentlepeople. Thank you.

I’d like a source for this rumor, myself.

It’s not true, so you can be satisfied that my source was bunk.

Thank god, it’d be horrible to go at 150% while everyone else goes what is it 280%? or 310%

this would literally be a ridiculous change.

Haha yeah. Sadly with so many other random changes to things that didn’t need to be fixed, I half believed it. Thanks to Reshyk’s GM for proving it wrong though.

Currently max flight speed is 310%. 150% would be completely unusable.

I know that they changed how you get flight speed increases in Shadowlands but I don’t remember how. Was the person on the feedback thread testing with a character with no speed increases? My GM had just copied her Druid and checked flight form in Stormwind.

EDIT: In fact I’m sure that’s what it is. I looked it up and 150% is what you fly at when you’ve unlocked flying but don’t have any speed increases.

Thanks for confirming this. I saw this feedback and immediately went to the 2 in my guild that have Beta access and was all “CONFIRM PLZ” Then had to go back and was all … “NO CONFIRM. False alarm.”

There was a random post in the beta forum druid sticky which claimed it was the case. I saw it the other day as well.

Ah.

Maybe they were misinterpreting a datamined bit of info?

17

That’s exactly my reaction haha. Hence why I posted here.

I don’t understand, is GM grand mother, game master, girl mom?

Guild master.

You know, that does make more sense.
