Speaking of that, I just found out that Lord Andestrasz will let you pick which dragon you want to use during the cup races. I thought I was going to be stuck on the slow blue dragon the whole time (/s).
I can’t wait to try this! I love dragonriding. I want to see a BG based on dragonriding - something resource-gathering based where you fly around and gather resources, but can engage in pvp as well to get more or prevent the other faction’s acquisition.
Thank you for this. Everything doesn’t need to be a murder your pals into the ground competition. We need to have more “PLAY” time. As in, time spent able to just goof around and play.
Omg. I was already looking forward to them and then I started goofing with them and my Vanilla Vet’s heart is just purring with happiness! My main has never once changed all the way from 2004. Taking her back to the zones she “grew up” in (even if the Cata versions) to participate in dragon zoomies, which I completely adore, under the star in the sky from Legion, one of my top favorite expansions…
Maybe I’m the only one, but I wasn’t ready for the amazing feels.
But but but but… The blue one can have ALL THE FINS and ALL THE SPOTS!! It’s all about the fins and spots.
For more serious, I was super happy they let you pick which dragon you wanted to use. That was a very good attention to player desires.
I saw the teal scales listed for one of the dragon types… I hope they’re going to open teal scales (and other options) to all the dragons!
Only thing I’m disappointed with is the selected mount not carrying your chosen customizations. I like my infinite highland drake! Races themselves are great though.
I agree, great content. I’m glad they didn’t make them steamroll like some of the dragon isle ones.
Now that they’ve given us a taste of dragonriding in the old world, it needs to become the new norm. Give all flying mounts the treatment, would love to see flying carpets zoomin around.
They actually added dragonriding animations to a ton of old mounts (including basically all the old/previous drake mounts) already, but haven’t allowed them for dragonriding use because, uh, reasons, and also none of our customizations for our drakes are used in the Kalimdor Cup versions because apparently also reasons.
This would definitely be a perfect world event if they’d gone to the trouble of allowing us to fly everywhere on our customized drakes instead of only in very specific circles on default drakes. Or even just done one of those things instead of enabling the barest minimum allowance.
Using skyward ascent when available over the dash helps out a bunch. If its level or a bit under you can always fly a bit under a ring and then look up and fly up. Then after that pull a down on your mouse. You will get a nice burst of speed for a pretty decent amount of time.
