It can be really fun but the Vigor system hurts Dragonriding as a whole. It’s so tedious and unfun to try to get somewhere, fail, then have to wait a few minutes to try again. It also heavily punishes gathering since you have to spend a Vigor each time to want to fly again.

Better yet give us an option to opt out of dragonflight for regular flight. The whole system is worse than regular flying.

The further you get into the system, the less vigor limits you in using dragon riding. There were videos of people able to fly for several minutes without ever running out of vigor back in the beta.

It wasn’t flying it was no-clip swimming in the air. It was a terrible method before and it still is.

Vigor should recharge much faster on the ground, I agree. But I do see its purpose in limiting Dragonflight early on, and even just getting a couple talents has made mid-flight recharge night and day

Too late for regret little fella we’ve been flying for nearly 20 years.

I’m honestly shocked we can fly right out the gate of the expansion.
I’m sure it gets better as you add up the talents.

Vigor becomes an almost non-existent issue once you’ve collected glyphs and spent them in dragonriding points.

Just because we’ve been doing it a long time doesn’t make it a not a god awful system.

I don’t have much of an issue with Vigor once you’re up and going. I do have an issue with it taking ages when you’re grounded and needing to elevate somewhere…
I wish the regeneration was faster while you were grounded, but that’s about it for me!

Get glyphs to get the talents related to vigor. Trust me it gets way easier
There’s even a talent related to gathering materials

Key is taking the time to go around and get the glyphs as soon as you unlock DR, and then level up your DR skills. Your issues with vigor regen and so on will be drastically reduced if you do that. Yes, it takes a couple hours to do, and you’d rather be advancing in level, but those few hours pay massive dividends because you’ll then do the rest of your leveling much faster with a full upgraded dragon mount.

It takes an hour to get all dragon glyphs and theyre account wide. You won’t be having much downtime then.

Once you spend the hour to level it, vigor is near trivial.
You would have known that if you spent 5 minutes reading the talents instead of making a thread to complain in ignorance

I can literally fly across the zone with ease after maxing out the riding “talents”. Regaining a vigor every 5 seconds trivializes the vigor pips and makes it infinitely more enjoyable.

Vigor is a non-issue once you unlock the dragonriding talents, which is a one-off task. I literally never think about it now.
If getting to the max perks is an issue for you personally, you can ask a friend to carry you to them all via the ride-along feature.

well you could just go about gathering on ground mounts for the first 9 months like they were doing.

Practice more. Once you get your flying muscle memory going, it’s quite fun!

You can go almost 3x as fast at top speed. Its different but not a nerf
