I do think it’s insane to have a cast time on a toggle. The only thing I can think of for any type of excuse is that it takes that long for the system coding to swap the controls like that on all mounts? I don’t know.
I’d say it’s a deterrent from swapping, but we have the easy ability to swap now and the game didn’t implode.
And just one post earlier you proclaimed I can’t say that the delay is nothing to be angry about.
How about let’s just talk about the topic, rather than trying to litigate what you think other people are allowed to say?
What they should do is give each mount their own individual button that way you can set which mounts you want to be dynamic and which ones you want to be individually done. So instead of an overall button you can set which mounts you want to fly in a set mode.
I have a feeling that would bog down the system and database. There’s hundreds upon hundreds of mounts and the system would have to save all of those settings for millions of players.
Well if you’re unable to derive that I was saying the same thing as in my second post just not as thoroughly that is on you!
/rollseyes. Let’s drop this, please.
Yeah i could see that being an issue
I am all for leaving flight as it is now but making some provision for Druids and the like that can have a flight from to ba able to switch from one flight style to another!
Flight form will be dynamic flying enabled. Did it lose its instant cast with dynamic?
Edit: just watched some videos from beta. It’s still instant cast from what I can tell as both dynamic and static flying.
So it’s no different than the same problem the rest of us will have: that dumb 5 second cast time on the toggle.
There is no instant cast now it is a 1.5-second cast to mount! Only toons that have a flight form like a Druid or Shaman don’t remember which or if they do, have an instant cast flight form! In the expansion, they will be the same as all other flight either Dynamic or Static until you switch forms of flight but there will still be an instant cast to go into flight mode for them!
See above edit.
Was just clarifying since you didn’t say you were referring to the classes only that had an instant cast!
Bottom line, there is no legitimate reason to have a 5 second cast time to switch between flight modes. It serves no purpose and does not enhance the player experience in any way.
The toggle should be on a per-mount basis anyway.
exactly…no LEGIT purpose…so the ONLY purpose it has is to harass players into STAYING in Skyriding or old flight mode.
They know NO ONE is gonna keep swapping back and forth with that pointless added 5 second crap in there, so THAT is the ONLY Purpose it serves.
And my guess is this is Ion lashing out at Druid players since they are primarily the players this will affect.
Stills trying to figure out why its such an issue in the 1st place about swapping between one style of flying to another about having a cast time. Once in that flight style cast times to mount up in that mount are the same as always. So why does it matter so much? Unless you are trying to somehow figure out a way to cheat the system.
Yeh, but being able to choose which Druid flight you get is even better. It sucks you will have to land first, I guess, but I am sure a lot of people (myself included) can’t wait to skyride with their Druid form. Ultimately this toggle is a good thing, it offers choice to people to use their favourite flying no matter the mount they are using.
You can land with some accuracy with skyriding too, though it takes practice. I know, I never use old flying so I have gotten use to it.
Heh, Druid forms being able to skyride finally is why I am prolly changing my gatherer alt to my Druid next expac (was my Mage in Dragonflight). The ability to skyride around with that blue owl and gather herbs just seems amazing. 
No, they told us it was being held back until the first major content patch. No flying at the start =/= no flying at all.
Well no, the first info was NO flying at all in WOD, announced before a 3 day holiday weekend, they came up pathfinder after the blowback.
Like I said earlier:
So I don’t believe this is an option. Also:
I’m talking about before the whole no flying blow up, initially they said that flying was just being held back a bit.
