Naj and Mech PROVE flying is completely broken in WoW

Pathfinder works just fine.

You didn’t come from a pvp server did you?

Because we are used to it. We have adapted. We have overcome.

Could have both systems. Gold at cap, then free across the account once you complete the achievement.

When you look at how Naj is playing out with flight, it makes perfect sense why they don’t unlock it until late in the game. Flying worked better in TBC and WotLK when the zones were designed to be so big that flying was necessary to traverse them. Najatzar is tiny in comparison, and Mechagon is the size of a single questing area.

So of course being able to move 300% in the air is going to be completely broken. It’s not rocket science.

^This.

And isn’t there some doohickey that allows you to pull folks off their flying mounts? Seems to me that would make it more fun to have other folks flying about, just so you can knock them off their mounts.

Well, for Mech, you just need to get the jet pack plan from the rare and you can fly all ya want.

Molay:

Why not turn Warmode off?

The point of Warmode isn’t to save yourself from a unbalanced and broken game. I roll on PvP servers, and want to PvP. The issue is when you have people swooping down on you in groups because flying allows them to traverse the map at an unreasonable pace. The terrain, mount speed, and ground game are what balance WPVP and allow people to have reasonable opportunities to both attack and defend. Flying also means that a person also has a get out of jail free card as soon as they break combat as well. Trying to kill a druid is essentially impossible thanks to the instacast mount.

Warmode also doesn’t solve the mob camping problem. It’s made it impossible to find rares and kill quest targets in Naj with the amount of people who can simply hop from spawn to spawn in under five minutes.

Here, I’ve already replied to your question. Removing WPVP to fix flying is a terrible solution for obvious reasons.

Which rare gives the plans?

Huntillia-proudmoore · July 10, 2019, 9:22pm

Can you not knock people off of flying mounts with the net thing that PvP players get?

Brahmina-khadgar · July 10, 2019, 9:22pm

Um…I see nothing in there about pulling folks off their mounts. I also understood the item breaks flight on Druids.

Huntillia-proudmoore · July 10, 2019, 9:23pm

Rustfeather. Got it on my first try.

Bluebottom-emerald-dream · July 10, 2019, 9:23pm

turn off warmode.

Brahmina-khadgar · July 10, 2019, 9:23pm

Yeah, that’s what I was asking. I don’t PvP, so I wasn’t sure what the deal was. I only knew I had heard about it.

Huntillia-proudmoore · July 10, 2019, 9:24pm

Yeah, I’m pretty sure you can knock people off of flying mounts with that item.

Grävemind-exodar · July 10, 2019, 9:24pm

Nice!

And thank you for the info!

Molay-emerald-dream · July 10, 2019, 9:25pm

The netomatic is practically useless at solving any of these problems, which is apparent if you actually deal with flying in PvP. By the time someone has been hit by the netomatic they’re already several sprints away from you. It also has nothing to do with the fundamental issue of breaking the balance of the game to keep people from swoop ganking.

Huntillia-proudmoore · July 10, 2019, 9:26pm

You’re welcome, friend.

Elorinorin-argent-dawn · July 10, 2019, 9:26pm

You can turn it off in literally any safe zone now.

Go to the base in nazjatar/mechagon and just turn it off.

Baridorielor-malfurion · July 10, 2019, 9:27pm

Sounds like to me your not a good netter.

Molay-emerald-dream · July 10, 2019, 9:28pm

For example, you might engage a mob or another player, and then all of a sudden someone has landed on top of you and has finished you off before you have a chance to react. Someone who wants to engage in this kind of ganking can keep a tab on essentially the entire map instead of being forced to stick to a given area, plan, and be forced to come from a single direction that the attacked may actually see. Most players are looking forward or turning the camera on a single axis, they aren’t look straight up.
