Having to switch between static and dynamic flight is a pain in the back side!

[Syhetr-the-scryers]

You will not have that option in the expansion if you are in Dynamic Flight all mounts that can not Dynamic Fly are grounded. That is the whole problem. You either are Dynamic or Static you can’t just select a mount that can do one or the other like you can currently!

[Malthorazel-sentinels]

So you are saying that if toggle is set to Static Flight, then my Soar will also be Static Flight?

@Syhetr-the-scryers

The problem with this is that if we keep it this way it reduces choice. The toggle was put in so that people could pick which flight style they like on the mounts they want to use. The problem is that the toggle takes so freaking long and is kinda clunky to use. It is still a good thing, though.

Would be neat if we could choose it on a per mount bases, but I figure that it prolly too much of a programming nightmare.

Druid flight forms and Dracthyr Soar would also be out of luck without the toggle too, as both are getting the benefits of skyriding and steady flight, and need the toggle to switch between em. While I prefer skyriding on my Dracthyr, I know others who would prefer steady flight. And while a lot of Druids like steady flight for their form, I know others who are excited to skyride as a Druid.

@Malthorazel-sentinels

So you are saying that if toggle is set to Static Flight, then my Soar will also be Static Flight?

Yup. Both Druids and Dracthyr will be able to switch between the two modes with their versions of flight. I am looking forward to it. I prefer skyriding, but sometimes just lazy flying around with my Dracthyr will be fun.

It is obvious you completely missed my point!

@Samcarter-eredar

And World PvP and exploration would be better without you <3

Whine for me louder…

@Samcarter-eredar

Stay high though, out of the game, skipping 99% of the world they designed.

circus clown response. the CONTENT, in case you missed it, is on the ground, lmao…no one missed the DF world because they could fly. If they missed it, they didnt play DF.

So…we done with your pointless lame responses?

[Samcarter-eredar]

You’re cute when you’re riled up and don’t know what you’re talking about because you picked snipits, and not my full opinions. Thanks for the smirk though <3

The only reason for unlimited flying to exist at this point is for people who have physical issues and can’t do the dynamic flying.

I feel sooooo bored and slow when I try to use my old mounts now.

If you feel that strongly you should play Rogue full time and all the time then.

I am awaiting your results with eagerness.

[Asterithel-moon-guard]

I agree with this. The toggle between flight modes is amazing and I am glad we are getting it, but that 5 second cast time makes it clunky. Why is it even there? You have to cast your various mounts anyway and those already have a cast time. Why such a long time just to switch flight styles?

Edit: Fixing punctuation.

[Mafic-emerald-dream (Mafic)]

The cast time is there because more restrictions are coming to DR aka dynamic flying aka skydriding.

The BlizZard rug pull is commencing now.

So many gullible people that do not know the BlizZard rug pull.

@Syhetr-the-scryers

. Makes the way I play to much of a hassle!

Perhaps that’s the goal. They don’t want people playing that way. They want them more engaged in the environment than hopping from one mob to the next?

You mean like walking around in the MAW without mounts?

Do you realize how stupid that sounds?

I like the way it works now on a druid. You can travel the long distance fast on your dragon mount then when you get to your objective instant cast flight form (in mid air) and locate that cave entrance or ledge on a cliffside and then pinpoint land on the spot.

[Sendryn-sentinels]

@Lorkhan-draktharon

looking it up, you literally just press a button that you can drag onto your action bars to switch

That has a five second cast time. You don’t get to just land and mount up. And you don’t get to keep static flying mounts as static. They change to ground mounts when you have dynamic enabled.

[Sendryn-sentinels]

You’re probably not wrong. If it’s a hassle, people won’t change as often. What I want to know is why it matters to them so much. Right now I can land and just change to a different mount. No cast time. The game hasn’t imploded.

[Bludleddr-feathermoon]

What about mounts that cannot fly? In order to use one of the always grounded mounts, then one must still fiddle with the 5-second cast to toggle between an always ground mount and Dynamic/Skyriding?

[Sendryn-sentinels]

Ground mounts are ground mounts are ground mounts. Nothing changes with them regardless. It’s the static mounts that will not be dynamic that will be grounded during dynamic enabled.

[Bludleddr-feathermoon]

Thanks. I was kind of concerned, but now I will just include 3 different mount types on my action bars where the third will be a static mount after, of course, earning the static flight ability. Still seems bassackwards having to earn static flight though.

[Syhetr-the-scryers]

Switching mounts is a 1.5-second cast, not 5 seconds. for someone to switch flight styles it is a 5-second cast then a 1.5 to cast the mount! As it is now changing from one style of flight to another, it requires only selecting a mount that does the flight style you want to use and a 1.5-second cast to mount it! The same cast time of 1.5 seconds applies to any mount ground, dynamic, or static currently and will also be in the new expansion! They are ADDING a 5-second cast that is not currently necessary in the expansion for mounts that can fly to switch flight styles.

[Sagirá-thrall]

The way it works now is perfect. I know I will still have some mounts that will refuse to Skyride, but it would be nice to pick and choose which ones I want to be a normal flying mount.

For example, the addon MountsJournal does this really well. It has a thing I just click to make a mount force Skyriding or Static. I have my Skyriding/Zone mount set to ` and regular mount to Shift tilde.

I am going to despise the switching cast.
