The item that you get from the quest reward, according to Wowhead (and they are 100% on top of any datamining and reporting this stuff) allows you to fly once used. It doesn’t unlock the ability to ‘purchase’ flying. It grants you flying.
Also, just like in previous expansions that have unlocked account wide flying, the item you will get in 9.1 will unlock flying for all your characters, regardless of their level, allowing them to fly in Shadowlands content (with the exception of the Maw and Oribos), there is no requirement to get to level 60 on your alts first before you can fly.
Because it’s most likely poor wording on their part. The item you get becomes an heirloom and you just collect it on alts from the heirloom tab. But it requires riding skill 225. That’s most likely what it’s referring to.
You are correct, you do not speak for everyone. A vast majority have been begging to just pay gold rather than this ridiculous pathfinder almost since it’s inception
I don’t care if it’s pathfinder or purchased. What I care about is these ridiculous time gates. There’s no reason for flying to take more than a few weeks into a new expansion other than Ion’s continued disdain of flying and players having fun.
Actually there are plenty of reasons, many of which they’ve outlined in the past, specifically around the release of WoD. You may not like those reasons, but they are perfectly valid.
No typo here. I literally pulled the quote from their Battle.net headline. However, based off most of the other posters who are more familiar with the PTR it would seem as though it is a miscommunication on Blizzard’s part and is actually not that big of a deal. In fact it might be even better then Patherfinder or an out right purchase.
its a both a typo and a communications
take a look at bananas if you have it from the tcg you could not get a second one
they did not mention the pet on a blue post when it was happing
I hope that’s true. I can’t find where I read that, but it was a Blizzard post, not a player one, saying the item would make flying available once a character hits level 60. Hopefully that was old and they’ve changed it (or I misunderstood to begin with).
For the sake of my own understanding could you point out my typo? This is a genuine request as I do not wish to mislead others with my forum posts in the future.
The issue with this current incarnation is thats it’s both. Buying to fly at level cap is good. Pathfinder is annoying because its a delay. Paying after a delay is like…what did we do to deserve that? Really feels like a child throwing a tantrum over the WoD flying debacle.
But it’s not just that. Now we have the inconvenience of having to pay for it whilst in the same time have the timegate that pathfinder had. It’s either you give pathfinder or you let us buy at expansion launch.
If it’s something like 75 gold like Northrend Flying (wear a sweater) was then it doesn’t bother me. If it’s a cash shop purchase then yeah, that would cheese me off. I suspect it will probably be like Northrend flying and not a cash shop purchase.
You can look it up. Ion’s reasons for getting rid of flying was for “overall immersion” and “outdoor gameplay in World of Warcraft is ultimately better without flying…”
These reason are 100% subjective. If you disagree, then you don’t know the meaning of the word or you’re a Blizzard Apologist who defends every crappy decision they make. Including flying.
