Flying was poorly done

Hey Blizzard…you realize that you released flying…when you released a bunch of other content that does not allow flying…

So we never really get to use it. The only time I use it, is to fly to dungeons for Mythic +. There was even a time I started to run on my ground mount and totally forgot I had it.

That is because all of the new content is in areas that do not allow flying…like the Maw and Korthia. New content like the new dungeon out in the middle of no where, where only a flight path gets you to it, the new raid located in a zone that does not allow flying, new covenant assaults’ that are located in the MAW and the new (small) zone of Korthia, that does not allow flying.

All of the new content centered around patch 9.1 does not allow flying and we barely see it (at times and some worse than others)

You could have released flying during the 8 month content drought and players would have loved it, since we still used all those zones. Or picked a better time during this expansion, probably rather sooner than later.

I would think most times, players are using it for dungeons like I am, since we are all out in new parts doing new content in a sense.

GJ Blizzard. Someone should post an office full of monkeys and that would apply to your office Blizzard.

It was never meant to benefit our highest level characters. It sure does make levelling alts a lot more fun though.

It was meant to benefit our highest level characters until Blizzard suddenly started this war on flying in WoD.

It gives little benefit to characters who are in new zones mostly. It does help if we’re doing callings in old zones maybe, but by far the biggest benefit is it makes life so much easier for our alts who can now skip over the terrain in the four covenant zones.

Last three expacs all were that way.
Flying then had a new zone that could not fly in.

Blizzard’s war on flying continues to frustrate. I’m happy to be able to fly, but man I wish I had it in Korthia to make it to rares easier…

They’ve been spiting flyers since we forced them to keep it in the game in WoD.

They’re fully aware that it’s nonsensical to gate it the way they have.

That is wrong, in BFA, when they released flying, you could fly in Mechagon and Najjatar (sp on both)?

Um…theres alot of content to do in the other SL zones. Hidden stuff, an entire zone wide shard hunt…all of that makes flying easier.

if you can’t get to a raid entrance without flying or without running to the raid entrance together as a party by communicating beforehand if it’s hard to get to without pulling aggro, you shouldn’t be raiding.

They could not add flying, because if you could fly in korthia it would show how freaking small the area is. Korthia is like pathetically small, and this is coming from someone who enjoys the zone.

I’ve got some bad news for them: You can tell it’s tiny without flight.

Oh i know, it would be even smaller

Blizzard dislike flying. they regret implementing it at all and have said so on a few occasions. Now its just a little treat we get for content that is essentially no longer relevant.

It’s completely ridiculous we can’t fly in the Maw. I hate it.

The main issue to me is that the gateways in upper Oribos don’t function.

The whole “take a flight path so you can use your flying mount” thing is awful.

The gateways should work, and deposit us at the landing point in each zone that we arrived at during the leveling campaign. And make them 2-way.

Yeah, and I was really hoping Daddy Blizz would do the same thing this time. In fact, believing that was the only thing that brought me back for 9.1. Now I’ll see how many alts I can level in the month I just added (yea token) and then I’ll probably go back to FFXIV. :see_no_evil::hear_no_evil::speak_no_evil:

Which is why WoW is no longer relevant to me. I paid my token, I’ll see what I can get done in the 13 days I have left, then most likely it’s back to FFXIV. It’s sad that I’d rather pay real money to Square than play WoW FOR FREE using a token. :speak_no_evil::hear_no_evil::see_no_evil:
