If you level fast enough you can have it day one.

You’ll be able to use dynamic flying the new normal.

i love how people in these threads have to make others feel bad about their preferred method of flight.

primarily dynamic people who have to unnecessarily comment how bad the normal flight is

People have their preference. I prefer dynamic, and not everyone does. Regardless, it is a matter of they can have it day one if they want to grind the levels out like that.

I’ll wait to buy TWW until after other players have unlocked regular flying.
I want to see how long it really takes.

Nothing posted says that the entirety of the main story will be available on day 1.

For all we know it will take 6months to a year of waiting for this or that quest to unlock so the story can be progressed.

I played back in MoP. I’ve seen it before.

But mop had flying upon reaching max level immediately?

Yep

They’ve never restricted the Main Campaign like that to my recollection. You do the MSQ, then you have the Raid, then you have additional story after that leads into the patches/later raids.

Being wary of a monkeypaw is one thing but they haven’t really said anything to make one think they would change how the campaign is released.

Traditional flying is only gated by these 3 things in the war within:

  1. Reaching max level
  2. Done all of the campaigns
  3. Explored all of the zones

Same goes for dragonflight:

  1. done all of the campaigns
  2. explored all of the zones

(Before there was a renown 15 requirement but was excluded due to feedback)

Yes, I suppose the (in my opinion, very valid) screeching of ten thousand angry Redditors does count as feedback.

I’m very glad they did away with that; I heard it originally required 15 with Loamm and I’m pretty sure I still don’t have that.

You do know they have Facebook and Twitter and among other social platforms and here on the forums.

And yes it originally needed renown but dropped due to feedback.

Honestly the fact they are gating static flying, which so many claim is worse makes no sense, if it’s worse, why gate it.

Secondly, I would not be the least bit surprised if they pull some BS to drag it out. Remember when WoD was coming out, they said flying wouldn’t be available initially, but we would be able to earn it through a quest line, look how that turned out.

Sorry, but I don’t trust Ion and Co much after the past few expansions and their BS.

They said it would be available soon after hitting max so I would think that means in the first week.

Not just max level

We still need to finish the main campaign and completely explored the four new zones.

It’s pretty obvious some players weren’t here for MoP.

The version you play thru now isn’t anything like the realtime version when it was live.

We were grounded for a very long time and the MSQ was dripped out at a very slow pace.

Everyone ran around on those water striders and shadowpan tigers for months.

… flying wasn’t timegated in MoP, it cost gold.

I 100% agree; if DR is allowed real flying should also be. All I see it as is forcing the player base to use a feature so the cost decision can be justified. I use real flying 50+% of the time in ED and probably would have used it similarly while leveling. As far as I’m concerned DR could be removed everywhere except in the dragon isles. :hear_no_evil::see_no_evil::speak_no_evil:

But that’s not my definition of “right away”. There is no valid reason that real flying should require the MSQ and DR doesn’t. Except Daddy Blizz still being a spiteful jerk of course. So refreshing to see a lead game designer still throwing a tantrum after nearly 10 years. :speak_no_evil::see_no_evil::hear_no_evil:

I agree that it’s dumb to continue putting these obstacles in the way of having static flying. But simply reaching max level and completing the main campaign is a far cry better than waiting six months into the expansion and being told to complete the Pathfinder achievement.
