It was for most people I knew at the time, but that’s anecdotal.
Difference of opinion.
The bigger issue for me is never ever getting to use any of the mounts I have in Dragon Isles, and yet, I am still getting mounts as rewards for things in this expansion. Like … ?
as long as both gliding and flying are,
by some mechanism…attainable…
yeah…i agree.
Objectively not true. They usually asked just for you do the main story and explore the zones. Having to actually experience the world the developers built isn’t a bad thing.
Dragon riding on some regular mounts would be fantastic, but on others it would be game breakingly ridiculous. They would have to separate regular flying mounts into two or more classes.
810% capable?
Netherdrake - yes
Flying machine - no
X-53 Rocket - heck yeah!
Orgrimmar Interceptor - good lord no!
Druid flight form - of course.
Sparkle Pony - don’t be daft.
omg…I SO agree
How many times have we ‘earned’ flying…be it pathfinder or gold…
To me it just feels like they don’t know anything else to take away from us, nd make us earn…
just let us fly, how we want wherever we want
stop making us ‘earn it’
‘objectively’…lol…
your opinion is always
going to be ‘subjective’
by definition…
you’re letting your arrogance do the
writing…lol…and lose the debate.
So your solution is make it restrictive by costing a boatload of gold?
Blizzard has mentioned multiple times that they intend to take Dragonriding forward. Forever.
Though we may have to reacquire our upgrades each time, in some form.
Regularly flying mounts will need to be reworked to be compatible with the current dragonriding system. Regularly flying just doesn’t cut it anymore (some people prefer the laziness that it offers, but yeh…)
I really hope not, that would be a deathknell for mounts as a whole. I don’t want to only ever use 4 mounts or be speed-nerfed, no matter how many customizations those 4 mounts may have.
Objectively true.
Then flying is unlocked right? No? I didn’t think so.
I experienced the world the devs created just fine BC-MoP. There was literally no reason for the longest time gate in the game’s history to be attached to flying.
Oh yea there was, spite.
I think these things should be a thing, but IMO they should just be directly added, not something we should have to earn. The whole point of earning something is it should be directly tied to the lore or difficulty intentions of the game. I do not believe any of these things would detract from current balance/gameplay of things, but are purely QoL. IOW, IMO making these things something we’d “earn” makes about as much sense as “earning” the ability to modify our UI or use macros/addons.
But a side note… I obviously don’t know what WoW looks like under the hood, but from my own experience as a developer, there is probably a lot of technical issues/hurdles with making some of these things actually happen. In particular, point #2.
You must work in a quotation mark factory. Could I have some? Ive ran out of all mine.
Gold is less of a PITA than Pathfinding has been. I don’t mind gating it somewhat, just make it reasonable and not an interminable rep grind, etc.
I personally don’t think Druids should get dragonriding as a shapeshift capability, Druids have a lot of things and don’t need more, Leave dragonriding to the dragon class.
But as for other mounts, There is a whole lot of mounts that wont really be ‘dragonridable’
Why should it be gated at all? Serious question.
My welcome?
But what about us cheap people. Pathfinder could stay the same but be more like 310% flying where you bought it or spent a year doing What a Long Strange Trip to get it for free…for free!!!
Some day WoW will having options and those options will be good.
If there is a “learn the flaying pathfinder crap” coming then Imma just stick with dragon riding.
Not jumping thru any more boring hoops to fly. They need to stop pathfinder because its not fun and playin a game is spose ot be fun not a chore
Why I said option two is more likely, they simply enable noclip for the dragonriding mounts outside of the dragonisles so they function as a normal mount.
Why should we even have pathfinder? We already have zoomed over the content at the speed of light! pathfinder was to force people to see the content before flying over it, that doesn’t apply to this expansion.
