Really? No Flying in next patch?

What’s the surfing emotes on every comment supposed to mean

Riding the wave from my flying carpet.

[Mumo-area-52]

Old flying was pretty boring and this is a good improvement

[Mafic-emerald-dream (Mafic)]

I do not consider it better so I prefer TBC flying as I feel it is better.

[Gabitha-nagrand (Gabitha)]

I totally agree with you Mumo, old flying had become stale and boring at 18 years a brain dead mechanics of it. Sure everyone took full advantage of it, no matter what your game play style was, only a complete fool wouldn’t. But for years now people have asked for something new, a change, and improvement to flight over all. Something that open a door way to something more interactive. Even if Dragoinriding is not perfect and they are still working on it. Its still an improvement at the same time they are not taking away old flying mounts or even taking away old style flying. Its just the same as its always been for years now.

[Emanu-dalaran]

They don’t even know what they are arguing for at this point.

I do not consider it better so I prefer TBC flying as I feel it is better.

They each have their benefits and drawbacks, IMO. Speed versus control. Dragonriding is great for covering long distances, but…damned if I don’t find myself missing the precision of TBC flight after overshooting that dumb dreamsurge shadowflame node thing by a hairbreadth. (And don’t even start me on the stupid Thaldraszus Apex glyph.)

[Chapultepec-emerald-dream]

I would like Dragonriding a lot more if they increase the height you can ground skim. I’m not exactly sure what it is, but it feels too low for me.

@Gedpriest-queldorei

man I’m putting your out of touch vitriol posting on ignore forever

a ton of players hate questing, it is just mindless tedium - yet they like instanced content or a few things in the world

i for one mostly play pvp, both rated and unrated, and do instanced dungeons and LFR for most of my time. I play a lot at times.

Yet my renown for anything is 1-3 on any of my toons. Even my toon that finally played the main storyline (which sucked but i wanted a vendor that i couldn’t access until it the main story was unlocked) is still at under 5 renown on anything.

For the longest time I didn’t even have world quests unlocked because they require the main story that I really didn’t want to do because it doesn’t entertain me at all. It is just a chore.

people like what they like and no, they don’t need to be expected to do what they don’t like - that’s just bad design

putting rep grinds on flying is weak weak design, it is taking low hanging fruit (the flying carrot) and trying to get some more metrics out of it

I get it, you have an incredibly low ability to critically think about anything or to see anything objectively or from other viewpoints.

That is a very good post and you are a valued member of the WoW community.

@Pootycatdog-eonar

If anything, normal flying should have been free and Dragon flight should have been an unlock behind a rep grind and they could have pushed players into it by having the races as a thing players could have done from the start as a way to see how great it was.

I mean: if it really is as objectively superior as people claim, that’d make a lot more sense.

Traditional Flying Coming to the Dragon Isles in Guardians of the Dream

Upon further review, we’ve decided to remove the Freshscales Fifteen requirement from Dragon Isles Pathfinder. There will be no Renown level requirements. I’ve updated the OP here, and we’re updating the Guardians of the Dream patch notes to reflect this. Thank you for your feedback!

Well this is going to upset the folks who were smugly telling all the rest of us to “deal with it”.

Either way though - good move by Blizzard.

[Dragonfraud-onyxia]

Ok sherlok

[Umbriiel-bronzebeard]

Well, that puts me that much closer to never overshooting a node, or taking off when I meant to counterattack, again. And yes; good on them.

[Corvae-stormrage]

We recently moved my parents into a retirement community. They’re high functioning and have their own apartment. I asked how the WIFI was and they said “awesome”. I immediately texted my sons and told them when it was time to put me away, I’d like to go there. If they still have great internet.

My older son responded “can I have your stuff?”

[Velara-gilneas (Velara)]

So… if you want to use your own flying mounts, you have to jump through every hoop.

This is why I haven’t bought an expac since WoD.

Enjoy your pathfinger.

[Irisheyes-zuljin (Irisheyes)]

I believe there’s a swatch of players who experience nausea with dragon riding.

My point is…Options are always great.

[Mcjerkypants-bloodhoof]

Yeah, this is really some bull. I mean, we pay a great amount of gold to be able to fly, and now we can’t fly, that’s bull

[Voxheart-moon-guard]

Stop there criminal scum!

Necromancy is against kingdom law.

Your goods are now forfeit, and you are subject to the derision of other forumgoers.

[Amikaya-dalaran]

they never enable old flying in old expansions right away. bfa JUST had its flight restriction removed in pre-patch. you still need to have pathfinder for shadowlands and ofc that means dragonflight also hasnt been changed. it sucks yes, but thats the reality of how blizzard does things

[Sepypoo-thrall]

You can normal fly… They even increased the speed to 420% so it feels better.
