If Old Flying was as fast as Dragonflying

So you’re not only bad with the game, you’re also bad with math.

If you thought I took your word as solid or up-to-date fact but I’m not that naive.

You’re also not good figuring out the right adjective to describe what you are
:dracthyr_tea:

Or what you are either.

:person_shrugging:

I don’t even particularly like dragonriding. I want both types of flying to just be a gold sink, no cheevo locks. If regular flying was as fast as dragonriding, I would never use dragonriding again. It’s just obnoxious. I like flying to be a thing that I can watch when I need to go a whole zone over or if I just want to hover in a zone an listen to the music and ambience of the zone. Honestly, even now I use regular flight more than dragon riding. It has all the same problems as regular flying, its just now you have to pay more attention to not hitting trees as opposed to the zone you are in and being immersed.

And honestly, I would just rather everybody shut up about flying. I have been hearing the overly vocal minority, aka the same 15 people, year after year…complaining about how somehow, regular flight ruined the game but dragonriding fixed the game. Or, how they are both evil and make the game horrible and terrible and everything is more fun when we move at 60% mount speed on the ground getting attacked and dismounted every five seconds as we run across all of darkshore just to turn in one quest. Don’t y ou guys love those days of trudging uphill, both ways, in a mudblizzard just to turn in a quest for 5 silver and 3 bowls of soup?

I sure don’t miss that. Flight is one of the most unique features of wow, because so many other games just flat out don’t let y ou do it, or if they do its in some sort of pre-scripted kind of way, like flight points or a rails-adventure like Starfox.
Flight is rare in mmos, and wow is basically the only one doing it. When they introduced flight, I bet every other developer was kicking themselves in the face for not trying to do it or being unable to. It has done nothing but deeping my love for the game.
When they took it out in WoD, the only think keeping me subscribed was my guild running Mythic HFC every week on all our alts to the point where we all had one character of every class up in mythic gear…dear god wod was bad and eternal. And the trudge of going everywhere without flying was akin to torture.

Putting flight behind pathfinder is actually mentally deficient. What, you mean my mounts suddenly forgot how to flap their wings? Or perhaps my Gryphon that I have been flying with for like 8 years with at that point…Did he suddenly get offended at the fact that X Faction doesn’t like me all the way yet?
“BRO ARE YOU EVEN BESTIES WITH THE VALARJAR? Lol scrub, git gud and get off my back until you are exalted with everybody on the entire world of draenor. You better be bros with every leaf and bug and flower on the surface of the planet, or I am sorry but we will just never work as a mounted pair. I can’t work with a nobody”…

Because I am sure our mounts care about our reputation with the factions of a new expansion. That’s just timegating and we all know it.

Obviously very few.

People take the path of least resistance almost every time.

If Old Flight gained all the perks of New Flight without the downsides, of course everyone would swap to it full time. People largely don’t fly for fun, they fly to get somewhere. They’re going to use what’s best for that.

Blizzard is purposefully keeping Skyriding faster because they would prefer we all use it over Old Flight. It’s Blizzard’s newest attempt at compromise with flight. What they actually want is for us to not fly, but since it’s been made clear that’s not on the table, they’d prefer if flight was something we had to engage with instead instead of max-height autorun while we pee.

I’m the one that is educating you.
You should praise me, bring me a good apple like a good student used to do for their teacher.

I’m showing you that you’re wrong and you have now the righteous path.
You can either embrace the light of the truth, or remain in the dark, hiding behind the lies you tell yourself.

Skyriding is a success, everyone likes it. Those that don’t like it, are irrelevant and negligible.

I’d disagree.

If I ever spoke to whoever designed it we’d likely get in a very heated argument.

Do you know what is called someone who disagrees with reality?

:dracthyr_tea:

It’s one of the main attractions of dragon flying… I still would probably from time to time because the old style of flying is pretty dull and doesn’t feel in the least like actual flying, like a bird or winged creature would… you’re just a helicopter without blades.

I’m allowed to disagree as much as I like.

You can say you dislike, but you can’t disagree with reality and still say you’re normal lol.

I still don’t understand why blizz is against simply having the option to switch between one or the other just like we could before.

Is there a reason why you’re trying to bully me into silence?

i would love if they fix druid flight

my suggestion is for druid flight form could you guys put druid flying back to the way it was before the the war within update i liked being able to hover in druid form and and *skyride * on a normal mount out of druid form but since the update i am hating haveing to switch back and forth while on a druid could you please put it back to the way you had it for dragonflight expansion please ?

If I could fly as fast as dragonflying with normal flying… I would be soooo happy.

I wish dragonflying never existed and they just gave us extra speed.

If I coulld fly I think I’d choose like Magneto. That’s baller right there. Standing up flying, arms crossed like what?

This ish is easy and so will be dropping a beat down on you.

i like this idea would have alot less headache if they did this

I would not. TBH dragon riding lost its luster with me super fast.

He does look cool flying like that. But due to copywrite issues I doubt we could have Static flying, Dynamic flying and Magneto flying. And lets not forget Superman flying… Greatest American Hero Flying… (aka drunk flying) and I think Thanos had a flying chair…
