Hold right click and tilt your camera about 45 degrees up before using Skyward Ascent. You’ll gain tons of speed and height. At full glyphs you can do this almost indefinitely.

I played a lot of Starfox as a kid so I’m used to this stuff.
And this one monster fighting game that had a secret flying dragon kinda monster. It could fly in a similar way and I would just pick the big city on a hill map and fly around for funsies.
Disagree. Dragonriding is some of the most fun I’ve ever had in WoW.

Next time you experience lag, there should be something on the microbar (where the button for dungeons and stuff are) that you can mouseover and it will tell you if it’s home or world lag. If your MS for either one is considerably higher (considerably as it’s normal for world MS to be a bit higher than home) then take note. I would refer to this post to troubleshoot.
From what you describe, it sounds like genuine lag. A lot of people call framerate issues lag but it sounds like you’re having actual network issues and not just performance issues.
Also if you’re not living on the east coast or central US, near Chicago where your server is hosted, then your connection will naturally be poorer than if you had a server hosted closer to you.
Sometimes there’s a bug where NPCs won’t react to you because they think they are already talking to you but it doesn’t display on your end. Try moving away from the NPC and then get closer to talk to them again next time this happens, that fixes it for me.
i am living in wisconsin. so 4 hours away from where datacenter is. fairly close.
“doesnt matter to me” as you made multiple threads about this and even insulted people who made threads pointing out how weird old flying is after dragon riding.
You don’t get to pull the “it doesnt matter” card after all that

also i logged onto game just now did a quest in oshran plains. and got another glyph on way back from centaur camp and freeing this kodo. dunno what it does but it does something.
If it’s the koddo I’m thinking of, it leads to a mount. Eventually. It’s a time-gated week long thing.
idk i think it was a sidequest. ok so name of quest is sneaking in.
An in my point of view its an annoying gimmick. Aside from the speed, I see nothing special about it. Why should magical creatures need their fuel tanks filled? Why should dragons - that we have been flying around the game since forever - suddenly needs skills?
I reckon if you gave standard flight a 500 speed and allowed it in the Isles, most people wouldn’t touch their dragonriding mounts again, except to do flying quests.

The first version of it was great but they had to nerf it into the ground to make it what it is right now. People in the alpha and beta complained about the nerfs, Blizzard did not listen.

The brief flights in Starfox Adventure was also really fun. I love that game.
May have something to do with physics but don’t quote me on that.
Because it’s more engaging than hitting Num Pad, making sure I’m at a proper altitude, and alt-tabbing for a few minutes as I go flight path speed to my destination.
Dragonflight has flaws, but it’s a more engaging and efficient flight system.

someone earlier in the week was chucking a wobbly about how bad dr is.
they had 1 glyph.
one. singular.
…when i dared to do something crazy like ask if they could get someone to fly them around to get the rest, it was apparently offensive enough for them to put me on ignore

Its a much faster way to travel and DF maps were designed with that speed in mind.
I personally much prefer it to the old way of flying, tho I think by now they could just allow the old flying too on the DF maps for those who really prefer it.
It is one of the very few expansion features which worked out well imo.
It’s faster by something of like a factor of 5.
Plus I find it fun and makes flying less mind numbing.
