Locking stable flying but not skyriding to pathfinder is stupid

What is hilarious is prior to DF, you were stuck grounded regardless.

<— Disabled and engaged :sunglasses:

You crying victim is tired.
You realize you don’t hold the voice for the handicap community right? And acting the way you are just makes the community look bad.

Like really… everyone is totally picking on the handicap people. Blizzard totally wants to force handicap people on the ground. Totally specifically targeting handicap people.

He didn’t.

Just because YOU use it as such, doesn’t make it a feature or it’s intended purpose.
But since you love to keep quoting him and referecing this. I guess you think afking in the air is on par with handicap accessibilty :joy:

“We also understand there are some folks um for accessibility reasons, personal preference reasons, maybe you just like being able to AFK in the in midair”

The reason why this is an issue because it impacts a variety of players, Especially new and returning players.

Which is why this topic will be ongoing well past launch date IMVHO.

I feel like if they just changed the name from Pathfinder to something else, like half or more of the crying would go away overnight lol.

A lot of people don’t seem to realize that you can potentially have normal flight the day the expansion drops lol.

Just don’t be surprised if it starts being filled with those that get it and start to wonder why the entire fuss was made in the first place.

Doesn’t impact a new player that has zero reference of flight in the game to start with lol.

Patchfinder has earned its reputation for it was designed to punish players for stopping the removal of flight in WoD.

That is why to turn the page to a brighter future it has be removed IMO.

Patchfinder is already removed, unless you think that unlocking it before the first patch still makes it patchfinder

It has been removed, its in nothing but name only in TWW. The new system is more akin to FF14 than anything WoW has done lol.

The majority of other MMORPGs use TBC normal flying style of flying and not Guild Wars/DR style.

Most new players to WoW will be more familiar to TBC normal flying. As a result this will cause frustration and confusion.

Ok? That’s still in the game lol.

“But DR is the deafualt”, It is DR that will be unlocked shortly after someone gets off the newbie isle, so the first form of flight they will experience in WoW is Dynamic.

Not that such should be an issue, for all we know some new players will be new to the genre altogether or looking for something different

Yeah, mentioning new players is irrelevant because their entire experience will be with whatever gets unlocked first, which apparently is DR.

I would like to add that PF ended up making the players that used to do outdoor content for two years even during content draughts to become the dreaded cyclical player like M+, raiders and PVP players tend to be. They were the most consistent to sub and spend money in the shop and to stay stubbed during content draughts.

It is ironic that patchfinder was supposed to keep players engaged but it ended up backfiring. It may seem counter intuitive however the reason why is that for the average player that does a lot of questing, pet battles and profession gathering that IS their end game. Telling them to come back half way through the expansion to experience end game is like telling M+ players, raiders or PVP rated/unrated players to come back mid expansion to “experience” the game. Does this make sense? Which is why the super delayed start for the season for many players in TWW which is supposedly a shorter expansion is just an extension of this putrid philosophy. A philosophy rooted at ensuring players can not organically engage with content but rather be forced through it through a condensed time table.

Claim made, where is the support?

They don’t have any. Only Dracthyr have a support spec. :dracthyr_crylaugh: Sorry I couldn’t help it. The joke was too easy.

And people claim that the pathfinder achievement will change its requirements and yet it hasn’t and with 3 weeks or 4 weeks left I doubt it will change then.

It’s still the following

Explore the four zones

Do the four leveling campaign

You could help it, you just did not want to, but it was a good one anyway.

Thanks, Hope it helped at least break up the back and forth this thread has turned into. I’ll let you get back to it.

They don’t care. They just want to kick and scream because it’s “not fair”. It doesn’t matter how easy, trivial, timeframe. The fact both aren’t available at the exact same moment and because ion said “accessibility”.
The sky is falling because pathfinder exists.

If it was not for the fact I am going the ground rout to get my pathfinder, I’d be so tempted to suggest some ideas for those using DR to do to those on the ground.
