Let the Algarian Stormrider mount from the pre-order of The War Within have a normal flying version as well, many people don’t like how it is ONLY a dragonriding mount.
The Gladiator mounts have a normal flying version, this one should too.

Hey so…what happens when dynamic flying is enabled in the old zones? Won’t you end up with a duplicate mount?
I was wondering if they were going to add that toggle in Warthin, or sooner. If most mounts will become compatible with dynamic flight, then that feature is going to happen then. No double mounts needed, and why they currently don’t let you classic fly with it.
First I heard of this.
If they are going to make the new mount static, why not just make them all static? What’s even the point of having the dragon riding mounts?
They’ll just remove the duplicate and make it only one mount.
The thing is the new mount isn’t a dragonriding mount. It’s just usable in dragonriding zones only, which is a little inconsistent
I just wish they’d give it whirling surge, without it its useless

They’re going to overhaul the flight system so you can switch between static and dynamic flight on the same mount.
Whenever they do that, I’m sure the Stormrider will be sky swimmable along with all the other drakes from this expansion.

You are talking about the new mount that is designed with dragon riding talents that let you do the same as dragon riding yes? Just because people call it dragon riding does not mean it is limited to dragons.

I just despise the new ability that replaced Whirling Surge.
Can’t emphasize this enough. It makes me think they don’t play their own game. It’s just dumb and bad. I want to use the mount too, it’s cool, but that ability is just trash next to WS.
The turning with it… OMG I’ve messed up so many races. I really hate it. lol

That and i just don’t want to do narrow misses to charge an ability, i want to get where i’m going.

Lol it is tricky to use but it at least theoretically can be more useful in races than whirling surge, in very specific circumstances.
Having to rub your bird on a cliff to get charges does make it fairly useless in open world travel. She sure is pretty though. And I like that they’re working on ways to make flight more interesting. Just… maybe keep working on this one lol
It’s kind of better tho as you just ride along the walls and get to use it over and over at 10 stacks.
The problem is the lack of turning radius. So unless you know you’re going to be in a very long straightaway… it can totally screw you in races.
I personally like WS better. I don’t wanna rub anyone’s walls in this game.

What I’m wondering is this by mount or one toggle for all mounts? I.e will I be able to keep all my Coursers as static and set all my drakes/winged mounts to dynamic and have 2 different mounts on my bar like I do now? Or will I have to toggle that all the time to change back and forth….and worse will Blizz monkey paw it so you have to be in a capital city to toggle like Warmode?
( not implying you have an answer, just your comment made me think of this again. 
)
From what they’ve said you’ll literally be able to be flying around all slow-like, land, push a button, and take off with dynamic flight. Don’t even need to re-mount.
This is all still early stages and I don’t think every mount will be able to do dynamic (case in point: the horses are gonna be interesting lol).

They specifically mentioned mechanical mounts being a problem for the time being. I think it’ll be hilarious to watch a courser with dynamic flying. Whirling Surge let’s go spinny unicorn! LOL
I agree with this, in addition you need 10 charges of static to use its version of whirling surge, just let us have whirling surge and this new modification, I would rather have whirling surge if i had to choose.
