I’m good. I have to say though, I forget i can fly!? It’s all good in my mind. i don’t mind not getting to fly in Korthia/Maw…
You couldn’t fly on Argus either - and it was much longer before you got flying in Legion as well.
Flying will make life easier for any new alts. It already makes me willing to do more WQs and Callings back in main SL, and to go and find some of those special chests as well.
Just because something isn’t useful for you, or for everyone who’s at the highest level of content, doesn’t mean it’s not useful for others.
Don’t forget that in order to unlock flying almost the entire quest line takes place in zones that you won’t be able to use it in which makes 0 sense.

flight really should be enabled in korthia, but the zone is so tiny that i’m not really stressin over it.
hopefully 9.1.5 enables it
I mean sure but you could fly around dalaran could you not? You can’t fly around Oribos cause they won’t let you fly between zones (which I think wouldve been cool, like give us a zoomy effect as we fly between zones or something like the flight path mounts).
Also Dalaran is an actual CITY, oribos is just a ring of people we don’t really know anything about like “The purpose, which definitely isn’t a cult” and “We’re shady merchants who definitely aren’t ethereals”
Pretty sure 80% of people hate it. Not just me, lmfao.
That’s how the dev team has handled it since WoD, and they dug in their heels for a long time over it too. They would probably never add flying at all if there wasn’t a large enough amount of people who would quit over it.

Whatever you’re smoking, it’s probably illegal in all 50 states and 173 countries. Flying was always meant to be beneficial. Even in WoD, Legion, and BfA it was still helpful on mains once it was finally allowed. The Maw/Korthia is the worst they’ve every treated us with not allowing flying in current content. Yes, I know there were zones like Argus that didn’t allow flying, but those weren’t as key to progression as Korthia and The Maw are.
And yet, we should still have flying there. The size of a zone shouldn’t keep us from being able to fly, especially this late into an expansion. We should be able to fly in all relevant content in an expansion within days or weeks of an expansion, not the better part of a year.
That reason is “Ion hates flying and doesn’t want players to be able to fly in relevant content.” It’s been this way since WoD, but this is the worst we’ve seen. We should be able to fly in the Maw, not only because a lot of us think the game is more fun with flying, but also because The Maw is a horrible zone that most of us want to get in, get done, and get out as quickly as possible. And don’t give me the “it’s supposed to be horrible because it’s hell” argument. There are plenty of games set at least partially in hell (DOOM games come readily to mind) that are a hell of a lot more fun than The Maw.
10,000% this. I don’t remember anyone ever complaining about flying until Blizzard made it an issue in WoD.
And watch the game lose another few million subscribers when flying is disallowed moving forward. Just like what happened in WoD. Wonderful suggestion. /sarcasm
The zones in Cata and BC that didn’t - and don’t - allow flying were starter zones. There’s a big fat difference between not allowing flying in starter zones (where most people in those areas won’t have any kind of flying anyway, since they’re below level 10) and end zones where people will be spending a lot of time. Except people spend a lot less time in those end zones than they could be spending, because a lot of people avoid no-fly zones as much as possible. How often do you see people farming in The Maw? How often did they farm Arugus? How about the no-fly zones in previous expansions? Not very much. Those zones have had very low popularity, and for good reason. People prefer flying to not flying, clear and simple.
This is similar to the argument for the starting zones in BC and Cata. Dalaran wasn’t a content zone. Dala didn’t have flying, but it also didn’t have any content for flying to matter. It’s a lot different from not having flying in somewhere like Argus.
Uhh…no? Legion flying, from release, took what, 6 months? SL has been out for 9 months now and I’m still seeing people who haven’t gotten it.

Even Nazjatar allowed flying.

This is intentional.
They’ve not given up their plan to kill it.
They also didn’t allow flying on Timeless Isle or various other places.
Either all of it is okay, or none of it is okay.
so he hates flying ?
but he just raid logs…
pathetic boy.
I’m convinced SL was designed to be as anti fly and anti convenience as possible. There is absolutely no reason for you have to take the flight path to oribos and into another portal to get to every zone.

Quel’danas and molten front or w/e it was called in cata, would have to have a word with you. So yes, there have been end game no fly zones since BC. End of story.
Sorry it doesn’t fit your narrative.
Yeah for sure. Everything seems to be designed to keeping the grind going just a little bit longer with each inconvenience. No flight whistles for example. Or the grind for pvp vendor gear. Or having to do 2 Torghast per week for currency instead of 1.
I didn’t say it wasn’t beneficial. I said it wasn’t really much of a benefit to our high level characters who are mostly playing in new zones where flying isn’t allowed, but it’s a great benefit to alts who are going to level in those painfully designed covenant zones. The original post was in the context of the current expansion, so how it was handled previously is irrelevant.
Don’t bother me I am a druid I just use travel form
so… company gets millions in real life money.
but has a big cry about putting flying properly in the game?
doesn’t that right there tell you how bad the company really is…
what a crap lying company.
To kill flying? Okay then…
Intentional? To make me mount my non flying mount and ride over the edge?
Uh, no. It’s because I wasn’t thinking. I have my mounts listed in order and since the xpac started at ground mounts I listed them first. It’s a ME thing.
It’s not a conspiracy by Blizzard with skills to make me forget that I can fly. Geeze.
I used to have a Druid. I’d go up as high as I could then go to human form (well elf form) and drop down and then go to flight form just before I hit the ground. I log off on a floating island in Nagrand. I then log over to my hunter, do the dailies, park myself on a floating island and log off. Rinse and repeat next day…except I forgot I wasn’t on my druid when I was on my hunter. I ran to the edge, jumped over and went to flight form, which wasn’t an option on my hunter. A me thing.
Geeze, let’s not stretch things.
