Flying is 'at a nice middle ground'

Yup, totally agree. If it were up to me, flying should not be in the game at all, but I am happy with their decision to allow it after the opening months.
As long as it doesn’t completely disrupt Warmode that is.
Will have to see what they plan, but it does feel like the perfect compromise atm.

Do you believe we’ll be able to fly in the newest zones when Pathfinder unlocks in BfA?

This interview shows how out of touch Blizzard is with their playerbase. Flying is NOT at a “Happy middle ground”.

If flying was at a happy middle ground, you would be able to unlock it after reaching max level, earning loremaster (quest completion for each zone), and a moderate gold cost.

EDIT: If they really want to delay flying, at least release it after the first expansion content patch (on top of the above requirements). We shouldn’t have to wait a year into the expansion.

You mean like Isle of Quel’Danas?
Oh wait…

Along with the Draenei and Blood Elves starting zones.

Yep even in BC this happened. But keep crying more. I am so glad we have pathfinder because I love flying so I am glad they kept it even if we have to just basically play the game to unlock it but also because of all the tears and salt non stop about it yet almost all other mmos have 0 flying and they play those too.

A middle ground would imply some sort of mutually acceptable compromise was made between players and Ion. But Pathfinder wasn’t a compromise with the player base, it was dictated to the player base.

Ion is clearly an idiot that doesnt actually play the game.
Its nowhere near ‘middle ground’.
Its at ‘full blown spite’ and has been since WoD.

They already said yes, didn’t they, at Blizzcon? Or at least said they were thinking about it.

Nazja’tar may having flying from the get go.

Depends on your perception of what middle ground is though. I personally don’t mind not flying, but it’s convenient when available. I am not going to throw my hands in the air and throw a tantrum when they give it to us late. As many have pointed out in this thread, they have given it to us multiple times when it was still relevant to the current areas.

I think they actually already said we’d be able to?

That’s a ridiculous statement. Game’s easy to level in and gearing up is SUPER fast and easy. Was very easy in Legion too, plus the more alts you had the more money you had.

Yes and like I said, I never said players are the only entity to decide if something’s a problem… what are you on about. I really don’t see the point in you regurgitating the same thing in a different way when I said I agree with what you said and that I never said it.

What I said is of my own opinion.

You do realize this is Blizzard’s game right? No one is forcing you to play. Their compromise was either pathfinder or no flying. We also are just paying for a license to play the game. This isn’t “customer is always right” scenario. Don’t like it then don’t play.

While with ESO can get the wayshrine portals added to my list the second I go find them…ie I can portal all over the CURRENT expansion faster than you can fly there in WoW.
Pretty pathetic that WoW content is SO suck filled that they have to limit your travel just to try to make it feel ‘bigger’.

The Burning Crusade and Wrath of The Lich King would like to have a word with you.

Back when leveling truly was slow, disorganized, and LFD didn’t exist. (LFD for lower level dungeons wasn’t added until Cataclysm, or late Wrath I believe.)

Also was the pre-cata leveling, which means a majority of your quest would be taking you halfway across the world for no reason.

They could easily go the WoD route and see how long their game lasts… that’s always an option. :slightly_smiling_face:

You mean like how people keep saying subs fall every expansion yet in reality the game is still doing quite well?

I asked because I don’t know if we’ll be able to fly or not. And, to be honest, at this point I’m not sure I can believe anything Blizzard says until it happens. I mean, we were told the Dalaran basement portals will work for characters that have those quests, yes?
