Not sure on the validity of this, but it definately feels like it
As I said above, I use both constantly and as it is now a precident in the game to have access to both at 1.5s. It is a bad change.
I haven’t even logged in to my druid yet. I bet this feels awfully restrictive
This is a common input I’ve heard that I believe is as disingenuousas it comes. Video games are a recreational activity, something you would do AFTER you’ve done things like go to a medical facility (Or go to work, go shopping, spending time with your SO, ETC.) You’ve already had to wait that 20 minutes in line, now add 7.5 seconds each time you want to move around the game world.
Personally, i only get an hour or so of game time a night. An arbitrary “wait time” of 7.5 seconds between each instance of changing flight types only takes away from my limited free time, as it adds up massively.
The new animations are awesome to see. Now I can use the flying mount I want to, when I want to.
The annoyance of no hover is nonexistent due to the ability to choose. The biggest issue is that the ability to choose flight types was changed from a 1.5 second window to a 7.5 second window. For people like myself, who constantly swap between the two modes when playing, the change drastically increases the amount of time it takes to do any world content
I think either instant like many pointed out as long you’re not on a mount - or 1.5 seconds but this seems a bit too much already. As long you’re not on a mount and when you click on the ability it dismounts you right away. Doesn’t have to be a casting time and the more you think about it the more ridiculous it seems to even have one in the first place.
I agree. Being able to instantly swap when you want, and also not dismount, is the ideal choice. I guess as a minimum for me to be happy would be a 1.5 second cast while mounted, as that is how long it takes to mount normally.
I would prefer if you could assign the type of flying you want for each mount individually. Before the patch I liked having a Dragon Riding mount as well as a static flight mount on my bars so I could easily choose which I wanted at any given moment without the annoying 5 second cast time
Correct. The more blizzard is forced to see enough of their players unhappy with a change, only increases the chance of them turning around to make a good change
Still less than 0,1% of the playerbase.
The more people use alts to create posts like they are new people, the more they are convinced this is the right way to go.
For every 1 person complaining here there are another 100000 playing without any issues with Skyriding changes.
You know what Blizz should have done which would have been smarter.
If they created an exact copy of all your other non-Dragonriding mounts and created a Dragonriding version of those mounts. Yes, it would have doubled the amount of flying mounts everyone had, but it would have avoided this issue entirely. Then of course they’d have to rescale the mount collection achievements to reflect the doubling of flying mounts in your collections. Then of course, they’d have to make some sort of icon to indicate if your flying mount is a Dragonriding one or a Steady flight one in your collections tab.
Didn’t think so. If a fraction of a percent of players had objected during DF, they would never have developed and implemented a pathfinder after clearly they never intended to.
