I am a Druid and one of the biggest things I love about being a druid is flying to amazing places people don’t go. Then flying to the top of the sky and going into another form. Free falling for minutes someplace more than 3 minutes. Then just going back into Flightform and doing again and again. Being permanently disabled thanks to Bone Cancer I can’t walk anymore without crutches but that is very painful. So I am stuck in bed most my life now. This is one of the few escapes I have. Now I have flown to the tops if the highest mountain and flown across the sky’s from one end to the other. However I can’t do the one thing I love and that’s to get a tiny bit of adrenaline watching my Character fall and turn back into a bird. I have died many times trying to wait to turn into a bird until the very last moment.
But apparently in our world we have gravity wells where anything above 20ft above your head is so intense it keeps all flight forms from flying. Like the start areas of blood elf’s and Worgen and now this dragon island. A few places are no fly zones which is really dumb. While I can make in into an island in the furthest south of the dragon lands with a crab and these crabs that hold a skull and others spines to make themselves bigger I guess. But then you can’t go to some islands clearly in the map because you get fatigued. Which is such a ridiculous concept. Sorry your an orca or your a bird so you can’t go beyond this point is just silly.
Please give us our many well earned flight forms and flying mounts back after say the next update. Maybe we defeated an evil dragon and thus are allowed to fly freely. But the freedom of druids is one of it’s perks and to not be able to do something we have done for over a decade is a bit odd

You’re not being forced to do anything, just saying. If you still think so, please tell me the caliber of the pistol that the Blizzard employee put to the back of your head. Thank you.
That’s actually really cool, ty for showing

I just like that he pointed out the legs and not the giant wings that cloud serpents clearly lack 
What would be nice is if we could teach our other mounts dragonriding so we could just fly them everywhere… even if they could only do the dragonriding on the dragon isles… i have 1 hotkey set up to conveniently mount after combat/gathering but i gotta keep swaping the mount on that button depending on where i am… not really complaining or expecting anything, its just a minor annoyance.
But it would be nice if the normal mounts could learn the dragonriding
Whoa, one more… this is BIG
9mm. But they will probably trip and mess that up too lol
And I want to fly my storm crow. Every expansion Blizzard clips my crows wings what’s the point of that? Druids can fly an others can’t? So? There are things every other class can do that Druids can’t. Tired of this.

You don’t.
BEHOLD, MY MOUNT MACRO:
#showtooltip
/use Two Forms
/use [mod:alt]Tome of Town Portal;[mod:ctrl]Darkflight;[mod,outdoors]Traveler's Tundra Mammoth;[combat][indoors]Aspect of the Cheetah;[flyable]Huntmaster's Dire Wolfhawk;Highland Drake
/use Garn Nighthowl
/use Goblin Glider Kit
- Two Forms when mounting up.
- Hearthstone (the Tome of Town Portal toy in my case) when holding alt.
- Darkflight when holding ctrl.
- Mammoth (you can sub the yak or brutosaur here if you have it) when holding shift.
- Aspect of the Cheetah when indoors or in combat.
- Highland Drake in Dragon Isles.
- Huntmaster’s Dire Wolfhawk wherever you can fly.
- Garn Nighthowl wherever you can’t fly.
- Goblin Glider if you are falling.
Use it, enjoy it, tweak as desired. This macro comes in at exactly 255 characters. If you want to save characters (to add mounts with longer names for example):
- Omitting
#showtooltipsaves 13 characters. - Hearthstone is 11 characters, down from 19 for Tome of Town Portal.
- Grand Expedition Yak is 20 characters, down from 25 for Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth.
- Red Drake is 9 characters, down from 26 for Huntmaster’s Dire Wolfhawk.
- Pinto is 5 characters, down from 14 for Garn Nighthowl.
- Swapping
[indoors][combat]Aspect of the Cheetahfor[indoors,@player][combat,@player]Angelic Featheradds 10 characters, but this is the only class-based Sprint ability with a longer name (and even then it’s shorter if you exclude the,@playerbits. - Two Forms serves no functional purpose and removing it saves 15 characters.
- Removing both Darkflight and Two Forms saves 25 characters, more than enough to put any other race’s movement-related racials in (e.g. Mole Machine, Spatial Rift, Rocket Jump, Bull Rush) on
[mod:ctrl].
The only thing not 100% perfect about this macro is that it doesn’t properly update the tooltip in non-flyable areas - it will show Highland Drake, but it will still summon your ground mount as expected.

Ooh I didn’t know that was a thing :o
I like it, I hope it’s not going to be a uber rare near impossible mount to get because it looks pretty cool.

Why would Blizz tell their future content? Do you want to know the entire expansion beforehand?
it wouldn’t hurt, if i’m getting kicked in the nuts i’d rather just get it done and over with than anxiously sit with my butt clenched thinking “maybe i wont get kicked in the nuts” and then get mad at myself because i should have seen it coming
These four mounts will be useless after this expansion.

They’ve already said they’re going to add regular flying to Dragonflight so you can use your old flying mounts. It’s going to be EXACTLY the same as previous expansions (ie you just have to wait a bit).
The difference with DF is you get a unique and completely separate flying system that you can use Day 1 from launch instead of using ground mounts only.
But…they can be 2 seaters. Hou just habe to talk to the Dragonriding Trainer NPC (the one that lets you spend Glyphs) to enable it. Simple as that

Ah, yes, five mounts for two years is vastly superior to four mounts for two years.
