I wanna see invincable do that corkscrew animation
Then don’t use it. They already said it’s going to be a toggle so in the old world you can toggle mounts to use the old flying or the dynamic flying. Not sure why this is an issue. You can just not use it. Also you rep part of path finder is being removed so you don’t even have to grind reputation.
I haven’t found any on the PTR yet, but it’s likely a work in progress.
I don’t know If I was just roasted then but what you are saying does not apply in situation and was not the point I was trying to convey to a degree. Vigor and the Afformentioned control system for Dragon Riding from a logistic stand point is flawed. I can use these to there base effectiveness to get around but the way they are tuned especially the first spell we use to launch off the ground is quite frankly pathetic. I have only seen it being of any use from a high up vantage point, at ground level in a lot of zone its downsides are painfully visible. compound that with you traversing somewhere and you clip a branch tip edge of a rock and in some cases I have had happen literally nothing and your vigor is empty then comes about 2 or 3 minutes of afkk time to get to 3 or 4 vigor just to get partially up to the height or speed you were before this occured.
I am not complaining on the basis of trying out Dragon Riding for a small amount of time and giving up and setttling into my current opinion no, I have been doing the utmost to make this boring system the least bit enjoyable but that seems like it wont ever happen without serious changes going forward. The old flying system we had and have had for almost WoW’s entire life cycle quite honestly is superior in every argument I have been in.
I am glad we still get to use our Old School flying now in 10.2 I honestly did not know we were getting it unti I got the achievement and come hitting Max level in the next expansions we unlock it there also (Can qoute me if I am wrong on that but fairly sure once we reach level 80 and explore the zones that is the case).
For those here who enjoy this system as it is great those like me great and all those indifferent too. But best be warned this System oging Unchanged going forward will be detrimental and that is just my superstition not stating a fact. And I am sure they are going to do modifications etc I just hope they do these properly.
There will be a toggle to turn off dynamic flying and just use regular flying instead.
That’s probably one of the mounts that’s not going to available for dynamic riding at the start. but in the long run… its just going to look like surfing, hang ten brah
Here’s my issue with dynamic flight…
– The system is clunky, whether someone wants to be a white knight about it or not, thats on them. Objectively speaking however, the system is clunky no mater how you look at it. Mounts that are labeled as “DragonRiding / Dynamic flight” have very large hit boxes. If a player even slightly clips something, their speed is reduced to 0 immediately. Sometimes the abilities do not fire off right away, they lag, or hang, or on the worse case, expunge vigor without actually casting. Not only that, there are places in the world, where if the player is flying fast enough, they’ll clip through the wall, or through the floor of the world.
– Dynamic flight takes away from standard flying, it does not add to it… There are some aspects of the system that have been received well, but other parts have definitely not been. The biggest part that has not been received well, is the constant need to moving forward, and the inability to just “cruise.” … How is it, that these mounts cannot “hover” or even just cruise in flight with “auto run” at a base line speed? Most of the complaints of the entire dynamic flight system would completely go away, if it was integrated along side static flight… In other words, if dynamic flight retained the old functions where your mount always stays in the air, instead of falling out of the sky, but also keeping vigor, and the skills attached to it, the system would generally be fine.

Blizzard forces players into flying specific mounts, and completely nullify all the flying mounts players have collected over the years. Which, funny enough, this is the biggest complaint players had, when LFR was released. Since, as we remember, LFR “nullified” standard and heroic raiding gear, because the gear obtained from LFR was either, a.) easier to obtain or b.) more powerful in some ways… So, we’re circling all the way back to that… Now players have to fly predetermined mounts, and all their old ones are gone. How to fix this? Just buff up the speed of mounts that cannot support “dynamic flight,” making them just under or equal to the max speed of the dynamic mounts. There’s no reason why Blizzard cannot do this, and if the argument gets made, “well then the old mounts would be more powerful because they dont have to use the vigor system and … blah blah blah…” Then maybe that says a lot about how poor and detracting dynamic flying actually is, if there is no way to balance old mounts for the new system, to keep them from being “Overpowered.”

Gaining altitude is a chore and it’s annoying… I’m not going to go through and explain this, as I kind of already have. However, all flying mounts, regardless of what designation they have, should be able to fly and also climb at a base line, steady rate / speed. It’s not fun to constantly have to keep gaining momentum, just to get up to a ledge or a mountain side, or even a quest objective… The answer is not “just git gud,” let the player fly the mount and enjoy the game how they want to play it, instead of forcing skill checks down their throats, when it’s simply not necessary… Its a flying mount for christ sake, not a raid boss. Could you imagine trotting around Stormwind or orgimar on a horse and all of a sudden it stops moving because “its tired.”… Might as well just walk.
-
Adding on to the previous point, the whole system is distracting … Very often do players get more focused on trying to fly the mount, rather than staying immersed in the objectives they’re interested in accomplishing. Again, just let the player, play the game how they want to play it instead of forcing a specific play style down their throat.

Dynamic flight / Dragon Riding, requires a certain level of hand eye coordination, reaction speed, and fine motor skills, that some players simply don’t have / or not capable of having to enjoy it. There are in fact, handicapped & disabled players who play WoW, and are simply not able to partake in “Dynamic Flight,” because of their disabilities. It is completely outrageous where accommodations have been made regarding other systems, for vision, or hearing for that matter, but god forbid flying mounts is where the line gets drawn?
Of course, it’s not Blizzards responsibility to conform their game to the general masses. It’s an individual responsibility to adapt to the world around them. The world does not revolve around individuals, it does not work that way, we know that. Yes, life is not fair, and applying the expectation that everything in life will conform to each individual person is unreasonable.
However, the lack of consistency for accessibility options is the problem here, especially when very simple features could be implemented to solve basic issues… As in, I don’t know, maybe have static flying mounts have the ability to increase and decrease their speed with the scroll wheel, sorta like a throttle, and the players velocity slightly decays over time, back to 310% until they give the mount a little boost, something easy like that… Let me point out by the way, the accessibility features that are in the game are great, some of the best I’ve seen; colorblind mode, photo sensitivity modes, auditory help, just to name a few… It just makes no sense, that flying mounts is the line in the sand?
Anyway… Wrapping things up, just because YOU might enjoy dynamic flight, does not necessarily mean everyone does, and its been “overwhelmingly positively received.” It’s not gods gift to WoW. While it might be an interesting system added to WoW. The reason why most people “Dragon Ride” in the Dragon Isles is because Blizzard, as of the most recent update, finally introduced “Dragon Isles Pathfinder” achievement. This allows static flight in Dragon Isles. However, most players do not know that, because it hasnt been in the game, and it’s buried in the achievements. Again, gate keeping more features from players. So, clearly, Blizzard is trying force as many players into Dynamic Flight as possible.
Also, I would like to point out; it’s disgusting that players ridicule, mock, and talk down to others, simply because they do not like, or cannot use a specific system in the game. This does not just go for dynamic flight by the way… All players of WoW, ESPECIALLY, ones, like myself, who have been around for over 10 years, or even decades, have a duty and obligation to understand and see all points of view. Not only that, but also create a healthy atmosphere for all players, instead of being ruthless and toxic for no reason… There’s a clear difference between “thick skin and competition,” that we all know / love by just being a gamer, and being a straight up a** hole.
I don’t think blizzard is forcing any one to use dragon flying. If you don’t like it just stay on your regular flying mounts. Dragon riding isn’t being forced on anyone. In 10.2.5 use your regular mounts and you can already use them in dragon isles also. Problem solved.
Both which I don’t have 
Then start farming!
