For those wanting regular flying aka pathfinder

Jump on the ptr and see what you’re missing. You should only have 2 things not done.

  1. Explore Emerald Dream
  2. Rank 15 rep with all flights

Both for obvious reasons.

Bit a good way to see if you’re missing anything wonky. Just check achievement Dragon Isles Pathfinder.

Part of Explore Zeralack Caverns means going into this small cave just on the southern edge.

Whatever you do now, you don’t need to do or complain about later

I don’t even know why normal flying would be wanted. Dragonflying is faster for normal flying, flight points are better for AFK-flying. I guess if you have a mount you really like is all I can think of.

I don’t want regular flying in Dragon Isles, I want dragon flying everywhere else!

But I do want regular flying for the people who feel queasy when forced to dragon flying.

Not everyone is up to dragonflying especially since it’s a pain until you unlock a fair number of talents

You get it after one quest chain and can get all the glyphs in less than an hour. I haven’t even unlocked the Stormwind/Org port since I am so lazy about questing, but still have dragonflying maxed.

Why can’t both coexist and let players choose whatever they prefer. No Pathfinder, no strings attached to either form of flying.

People need to stop treating everything so black and white in this game. Why does it always have to be one or the other.

Yeah but not everyone is going to do that. I started after the first patch and my friends wife was still going everywhere on her ground mount because she found dragon so awkward.
I don’t see an issue with traditional flying especially since people like her will have naturally have pathfinder nearly complete

This exact same discussion happened when player flying came out. People learn to adapt

This is why I wont be normal flying or even care to. Im over this tying everything fun in the game to the most boring stupid part of it. Rep grinds.
Dont wanna do the same ole world quests over and over and over and over and over and over and over for a few rep points.
Its just not fun.

I have empathy towards people with disabilities or that suffer from motion sickness. They added a potion for raids that have that effect so those players wouldn’t have problems, but for Dragon riding it is impossible.

I don’t have any love for old flying because that is what allows multiboxxing armies to pretty much destroy economies.

I didn’t know you could get motion sickness from something on-screen, I get it in cars, boats, etc. but never had issues playing games, even ones like F-Zero GX.

Too much of this community just doesn’t care if anyone who likes something different has fun, even if that thing won’t affect them at all.

Yeah, I didn’t know either. There is a thread here from someone who is a stroke survivor that suffers from this as well:

You mean renown?

I know it’s a bizarre concept but not everyone likes the same things and not everyone is obsessed with speed.

Short answer some people simply don’t like dragonriding others have psychical problems with it. :person_gesturing_no:

I’ll be using old Flying, because until Blizzard lets all mounts have dynamic flying I will be using my faves because dragons are lame :+1:

Oh no.
I’ve swapped mains that I don’t actually think I have this haha

so old flying is unlockable on on the PTR for dragon isles?

can anyone confirm or deny if old flying mounted players can be dismounted mid-air by a dragonrider using the spin ability?

really interested in knowing

I plan on using both.
Both have their purpose
