I will personally keep using Dragonriding regardless, but I don’t really understand what the reason is for needing a pathfinder when I was flying faster than ever before I even hit 70 with no requirement but hitting some glyphs.
Normal flying is slower, and a downgrade unless you just don’t have any luck with dragonriding, or have a disability which makes it difficult. It should just open up at cap, IMO.
Why did you guys flagged this post??!
Pro PF, no doubt.
Who even knows why they are in this thread at all. This literally has nothing to do with them, nor does it in any way affect their game.
Probably because it was passed on to Mike and Ion on X.
I thought I was the only one sort of “check out” on DF. If I hadn’t paid for that 12 month sub, I’d just come back for the pre-patch for the next xpac…or not.
Regular mounts won’t be as good as dragonflying, so this one I just don’t care about.
While that is true, it also limits us to exactly five mounts for the expansion. And if they continue it moving forward, perhaps indefinitely. I want to be able to ride the other mounts I earned. IMO, make every mount both capable of normal flying and dragonriding and just be able to toggle between the two at will.
There is a long list of mounts that are getting DRing from the list on Wowhead…I’ll see if I can find the page again
But his point is self defeating.
95%, he says, want DRing.
So if its only 5% who wanted to wait for normal flight CERTAINLY that small % arent a reason to do this PF insanity again.
Simply put
Pathfinder exists because douche ion has a problem with people playing the game so lets create something for a feature thats 20yrs old due to “wahh im ion i hate people flying in a fantasy game wahh”
Get gud?
I’ve seen the list and while I was impressed, I was still disappointed that it wasn’t done for every mount. For example, no cloud serpents will be capable of dragonriding. I’d really like to be able to dragonride on my heavenly onyx though.
They do if they want to rope people in who skipped the expansion and didn’t pay the proverbial toll.
Those that did will have no problem doing it. Those that didn’t pay or play enough… well… Its about $
How behind the times are you, to believe that bots can’t just dragonride? And not only that, they can utilize it far far more effectively than actual players can?
They must be very far behind. I have been filming and reporting DR bots in the plains for MONTHS! I have gotten so many responses back from blizz, i lost count long ago.
All I’m hearing is, “I have no idea what I’m talking about, so I’ll make nonsensical accusations.”
It doesn’t. People were botting gathering from day one. There’s a billion places to land to AFK in Dragon Isles during events.
I know. I watch people mooch all the time.
I get made fun of constantly for reporting people AFK in raid groups when we don’t get the purple bag during Rifts.
Wrong.
Any more ridiculous comments or are you done yet?
Bet $1000 they are not lol.
Dunning–Kruger effect is real. If he could see through it, he would see how utterly embarrassing and pathetic, and how stupid, his posts make him look, and he would stop, and probably even delete them out of shame. (Which would be unfortunate considering how funny it is)
Probably the “speed” makes some people fumble the keys. I know sometimes “comin in hot” can get me flustered in certain situations (not in DFing thankfully)
For people who disliked flight, perhaps. A lot of those guys also claimed to not want flight at all, in accordance with the wishes and infallible vision of the Council of Drunk Pervs of Blizzard.
I had no complaints about flight. I didn’t have high expectations for what it should be. This wasn’t a game about flight. The high-end content the developers clearly preferred to open world content was all tucked safely in flightless little nooks anyway.
Dragonriding, on the other hand, only adds fuel to the fire of my issues with Blizzard trying to kill flight completely in WoD, and the resulting Pathfinder system, by replicating the bulk of old flight’s supposed problems, and introducing a few new ones.
You think those players AFKing on the tops of pillars in Time Rift events and sponging off of other players are somehow achieving a demonstrably deeper level of gameplay and doing less “bad” than someone just AFK hovering there on a slow mount? I don’t. You think the player who gets event credit just by passing through an event’s airspace without doing a lick of participation - which many of us dragonriders have probably done at this point, either on purpose or by accident - is better for the game than the folks simply zoning out while hovering above it? I don’t. The botters you think are beaten are all still there, which a short trip to the tower in the middle of Zaralek Caverns will help prove. It’s hotspot for mining node spawns. At this point, the botters are about the only people in the cavern between researcher’s events. They’re all dragonriding, so I guess we’ll have to lose dragonriding. (They’ll all be on the ground, or under it, too, but you can pretend not to notice them.)
The idea that bots have to fly is so absurd its ridiculous.
they can very easily ground mount around farming nodes just as easily.
That lame excuse to attack normal flight isnt fooling anyone
Uhhh no… they would go “looks like the players dont want static flight after all… LoOk At ThAt lACk Of Engagement!!!”
Sorry, they are going to have to accept the fact that us disabled people deserve the same access, for the same effort, to the game as anyone else
Sad but true.
Here is the thing, some of us see it as the same amount of effort to get DR as it is to get PF due to our way of play. One particular troll keeps harping on the idea that it took the ones that use DR little effort to get it yet does not comprehend that for some of us, the amount of effort we would need to get PF is the same as it took us to get DR.
I do believe that physically disable people will need to put forth more effort, but my question is “how do we determine the standard of effort or who do we use to find that standard?”. I believe that you deserve the same access, but when using the effort argument, you will likely run into those that are like: “it took me zero effort to get PF, why can’t you do the same?:”
