Hey, why can't our oĺd mounts fly fast?

I don’t know if this has been asked before, but I’m wondering if it’s just a logistic issue for the game makers or a conscious decision? In old lore the gryphon’s fought aerial.

Well, I didn’t mean those kinds of mounts, just the winged kind.

Why not flying turtles. That would be awesome.

I guess this is the next logical multi post complaint we will see when regular flying comes to dragon isles and dragon riding goes to the old world zones.

I support those who want normal flight over having trouble with DRing, but if they start making more demands once they have it, Im not supporting that at all.

Why can’t we have faster Standard flight?

Well, that is a question to ask the devs. I don’t have enough knowledge of programming or gaming systems to know the answer but I figure, if you can have very fast gimmick flight, then why not very fast standard flight? If the genie is out of the bottle for zooomflying, then let it work everywhere that way for every mount.

All game designs are conscious decisions. Same way for making us do pathfinder if we want to use standard flight in Dragonflight. It’s all in The Plan.

Master flight speed is fast flying. Just Dragonriding is faster.

Even though it isn’t the fastest flying speed currently, it is still fast flying especially compared to the slower fly speed.

Because old mounts aren’t a lobby that puts you in a dead empty world.

As someone who highly prefers old flight, It should definitely stay the same speed (or at least be nowhere close to DR). Going too fast is one of the biggest reasons people don’t like/struggle with DR.
