Dragonriding good.
Dragonriding customization? very bad. No one cares. I probably click 10-15 scrolls before I even go to the Rostrum.
Oh now my dragons horn is tilted 15 degrees up. Pog.
I see people flying around on dragons, I see red dragon, blue dragon. I am not looking to see what tail they have or what horn type or scales.
The only thing that works is the full transformation. When I see a cool one I think “wow that is epic how did he get that” but that is the same thought you would have with rare mounts. So full transformation are just mounts, and they remove the customization all together.
Solution, make all future mounts dragonriding mounts. Even ground mounts.
Ground Mounts you say? Yes.
This is how you could do ground mounts. Maybe 3 vigor. You can sprint, or jump, or maybe charge.

They’re working on moving existing mounts into the “dynamic” flight system, which is what the more generalized version of Dragonriding will be called. They’re starting with mounts that share animations with existing DR mounts, like other drakes and protodrakes, but will probably eventually extend it to all of them.
All that being said I personally like collecting the customizations and playing with the dragon appearances for each of my characters. But maybe that’s me.
Doesn’t feel super necessary but sure, why not? Sounds fun.

Fatigue mechanics on ground mounts? Make sense. Your mount gets tired or if mechanical, overheated. slow speed (walking) would cost no fatigue but could still prevent fatigue from recovering. Better get a real rest.

Customization would hurt unique mount collecting. I think they tried it and it just did not work out. Best to spend more dev time adding DR to older mounts. I think its pretty clear the unique mounts are way better than any customization (aside from the full transformations which are basically just unique mounts).
DR Ground Mount system would make all mounts relevant and revitalize the older ground only mounts.
I want regular flight back. Tired of having to land because my flight mount ran out of energy.

That’s happening too. Datamining shows that Blizzard is working on a “static” and “dynamic” flight toggle that will undoubtedly apply to everywhere once it’s finalized.
Until then, no offense, but that’s a skill issue. Get better at Dragonriding and you’ll never run out of energy.

As an Dracthyr you really shouldn’t need to HAVE a mount to go flying but, sadly you still do.

My hope is when dragonflight is in the past and they add more mounts to DF they make the drakthry wings more like the worgen mount form. Then they can fly like a normal dragon riding mount.

only mounts that is getting this treatment is the ones that share the same skeleton the Dragonriding ones has
Yes, that’s what I just said. I also said it will probably extend to others eventually.
sorry miss read the middle part lol
but yes more mount more options

They’re also giving that old “Heart of the Aspects” shop mount the Slitherdrake animations and incorporating it into the DR system, which I’m pretty excited about. That mount’s old animations were so awful I literally bought it and then I don’t think ever once used it.

might see the pandarian mounts having the same movements as the slitherdrake mounts

I’d love some dynamic ground riding too. Big leap, dash and a trample for pvp.
also inb4 those who wants static flight demand faster flying speed.

Ehh I’d prefer they not do that, personally. Cloud serpents are my favorite mounts and I think they’re perfect as is. I do hope they get their own animations for dynamic flight at some point, though.
Oh that’s inevitable. I’m going to laugh maniacally if the whirling surge can dismount them in warmode too. I’ll spend happy hours picking the slow flyers out of they sky.
Careful now.
Suggesting that all Mounts should be able to Fly will anger some of the older players that think Blizzard still cares for Lore and things making sense.
I want heat seeking missiles on my dragon
I’m sorry that all you see are misery and it makes you depressed. Have you considered seeking a therapist?
Not all, just you, bud. Every post you make is seethingly negative.
Have you?
