Six weeks timegating on flying in the Siren Isle

Nice, knew it was coming though.

See you on patch day!

OH NO! you have to run around and take more time to do things so you dont complain thereā€™s no content after one week! Whatever will we do?!

Mechagon was one of the few no-flying zones that the playerbase actually liked. Where blizz messed up was the massive RNG wall they put up for the mechadone achievement. But they eventually nerfed that into the ground.

Between Nazjatar and Mechagon, everyone flocked to Mechagon. Nobody liked Nazjatar pre-flying.

I feel personally that 3-6 weeks to earn flying is okay, what I hate about other expansions that capped flying is often you couldnā€™t earn flying in the same patch that content was released or simply that you couldnā€™t at all with stuff like WoD. I think zereth mortis did it fine last time they did something like it.

While there will always be people that prefer flying from the get go I think thereā€™s value in making smaller zones that can experienced from the ground and that it feels great in new content to all see each others on the ground.

I donā€™t think itā€™s reasonable to say that using a ground mount is a choice in zones designed for dragon riding as those zones are really big and that it would take a very long time to travel through them on a ground mount which might be also why weā€™re getting the a racing kart in 11.1

So itā€™s just about you being able to show off a mount which is more important than the enjoyment of other players who rather play their way?

I think the problem with the Pathfinder concept has been that while they are bloating up playtime by slowing down travel, at the same time this actively worked to convert continuous subscribers into cyclical subscribers who would only play after flight was released. Or who would play for a month, unsub, and then resub next year.

The most valuable players are those who continuously pay for a sub without stopping.

Iā€™d be curious where you saw that the majority of people didnā€™t like it? If youā€™re going by forum posts that could just be the vocal minority.

Keep in mind I donā€™t know if people liked it or disliked it more, but youā€™re posting as if you know for sure the majority dislikes it when I feel like itā€™s just more a guess youā€™re using to back up your point

I dinā€™t mind Mechagon. If I recall correctly, however, we did have the Flight Master Whistle from the start so it was a bit easier to get around. And when we were able to fly, we were at constant risk of being shot down by those flying mechanicals.

Learn what? That you will play the content regardless if you can fly? that they got you sub? Naw, they learned all they needed to.
