This is gonna get really tiring and old after just a week if you don’t get a much shorter teleport or fp. Just as many wanted changes as many unwanted changes…Gotta get that “time played” up for shareholders somehow, right?

This is how you know an expansion is looking good… .when people are complaining that the FP takes too long
Finally, some big zones! Sweet.
Let’s hope that’s the worst problem
I know, right? Finally something more than these crackerbox zones where you get on a flight path and it lasts ten seconds, and you wonder why it cost a gold…
Hey. I’ll let you in on a little secret. There’s these little things called Graveyard Shrines
Supposedly, based on datamined maps and strings, they allow you to teleport between the zones.
I see their taking inspiration from Tera’s Portals and it’s swirly transporation animations when you go though.
Ehh… their okay… Not something i be amazed by or something that keeps my attention while i FP over. Just meh really. 
Actually, i kinda want Blizz to just custer the zones together instead of just making them islands, cause having a huge floating city above it all is pretty cool and zen like. Just having it float in the nothing isn’t impressive.
I think it looks like one of those old school loading screens where you can still kinda screw around in the game while the game loads the next level for you, like in Assassin’s Creed. Well i say looks, cause it isn’t one. It’s just Flight Path with extra animations on top, ironically less visually appealing.
if it’s because the zones are big that’s pretty sick, would be cool flying through and seeing all the players running around
if it’s long because the flight path takes a scenic route and goes in a circle before it lands then that’s kinda lame
It’s alpha. The streamers are already complaining about it. Blizz will definately change it b4 release date…release your panties and take a deep breath…all is good in our world!
Oh my god shut up. When will you people stop with this stupid time played myth?
Yes I’m not overly concerned. Nothing can be as bad as the Pandaria flight paths.
Oh what’s that? You wanted to go over there? No worries. Let me just fly you to the opposite end of the zone and then do a U turn and come back.
Vanilla flightpaths. You want to fly from Orgrimmar to Gadgetzhan? Go take a shower, you have more than enough time.
Lots (most?) FPs take around a minute. SL ones are just going to get stupid old because there’s no scenery. FPs don’t seem as long if you can see you’re getting where you’re going.
Not sure what they can do. Maybe make some rings to pass though that change color the closer you get to the end of the flight. Or maybe they become more frequent the closer you get to the end. Just needs something to convey we’re getting closer to the destination.
Yup. No need to sit around and watch your character flying around when the time it could be spent visiting the bathroom, going to the kitchen to make food, do some laundry, take the dog outside or just do some stretching.
Basically, not going to be a big fuss if used to the flight paths back in Vanilla. Or if someone missed that fun aspect of Vanilla, just fly from Silvermoon City to anywhere in Stranglethorn Vale. You could have your whole biography written by the time you land.
Resing this thread from the dead because OP was right. Flight paths between zones already driving me bonkers. Please add teleporters.
Yup absolute waste of time having to go through oribos everytime when trying to get to a different zone.
Every system in this expansion makes me frustrated more than anything. Will be letting my sub run out and not renewing till flying is out. All these needless drawn out quests and travel gets old really fast. Feels almost like classic where things are needlessly tedious for the sake of being tedious. Does not make the game more immersive or require more skill. I play a game to enjoy myself, not to get annoyed
I looked at my movement speed while going warp speed between oribos and other zones it was about 4300 % movement speed. Seems quick enough for me.
