Behold the new core game. Warcraft: Dragon Derbies. Mobile trash. What was once epic is now just ā€œehā€.

Same here. Nagrand I either lag out or DC repeatedly, even when thereā€™s barely anyone else around doing the course.

These races are infuriating. Auchindoun Coaster is impossible to get gold on Advanced and up, the turns are ridiculously tight on the reverse course, and if im directed to run into another damn wall or piece of ugly metal Iā€™m just going to explode. I canā€™t even finish the reverse one because of its impossibly tight and no-notice turns. Hellfire Hustle reverse, too. AND Razorthorn Rise reverse. This isnā€™t ā€œfunā€. No oneā€™s happy to do these races 20 times in a row and still not have gold.

Auchindoun is the most painful one so far

Is that the one with all the place you have to go though and bright blinding lights there ?

where are the rewards from the previous cups? the last one had the manuscripts from the 1st. also, iā€™m only seeing the endless possibility and not the other manuscripts listed in the post on the vendor? what gives. give us our manuscripts please.

side note, more nether drake colors would be awesome. I would it would be easy to do but /shrug

ā€¦ the Drakeriding set predates the Wastewander set.

Is the Manuscript of endless possibilities supposed to be single character only? I bought and used it on a lower level alt thinking it would be account wide like all the other manuscripts. Would be great to at least get clarification on it. Seems like a big whiff to make it specific to one character.

The 15% slow is removed during races. Youā€™re flying at maximum dragon riding speed.

Some of them were cheeky but definitely not impossible.

I had fun :frowning:

This feels like an oversight or bug. Where itā€™s included in the spellbook is part of a long list of account-wide dragonriding unlocks.

It didnā€™t even occur to me that it might be per-character until I went to enable it on an alt and found it wasnā€™t there.

So maybe my game is just bugged because Iā€™m surprised nobody else has commented on this on any forum, but I canā€™t use the Algarian Stormrider mount in the Outland Cup. It automatically dismounts me and puts me on a Highland Drake. Is this intentional?

It wouldnā€™t shock me if these cups stay strictly for dragons even once dynamic flighing is rolled out to other mounts. If the gryphon is any indication, new mount families might have distinct flying abilities that would create a lot of complications balancing the races across all mounts or create a meta where you needed a specific mount to time a specific race.
