Pathfinder for steady flight is simple to earn just explore the four standard leveling zones and complete the four standard leveling campaigns. The zones are ground mount friendly and the quest have assistance enabled.
Let’s look at how steady flight will ruin everything
it has auto pilot
stay in the air and not engaging with the world around you
not exploring when your supposed to on your first go around on the ground
getting to your location without anything getting in your way
These are some of the reason why steady flight is gated behind pathfinder. Also, this time the pathfinder doesn’t require you to do anything else besides doing questing and exploring the zones.
Skyriding on the other engages with the world around you and it doesn’t have any of the benefits that steady flight have. And it doesn’t let players stay in the air 24/7 and also not being able to land where you want to land. So, to me that is not much of an advantage in terms of gameplay.
If you have motion sickness where don’t worry ground mount is there for you to use and also don’t worry TWW zones are 100% ground mount friendly and have assistance during your questing experience.
(If you think I am against TBC flight you’re mistaken. Because I am a TBC flight supporter my self but I think it’s better to explore on the ground first and then take to the skies later. And plus, TWW corrected dragonflights mistake by making the zones more ground mount friendly.)
I don’t understand what you mean when you say “ruin everything”.
I also don’t understand the point you’re trying to make with this thread.
I like both types of flight but I prefer the regular, steady flying. It’s slower (I like that) and yes, if I get interrupted I can just park in the air and take care of whatever nonsense has decided to annoy me at that time irl.
It works for me, doesn’t hurt anyone else and I’m not missing out on anything.
So Idk what the point is but you have a g’day either way.
skyriding didn’t force me to explore, I just fly like a rocket straight to the quest point in the map, didnt even see whats going on, and don’t interact with the terrain at all
by your argument, the best option is to simply not fly before the pathfinder
They need to add a stamina bar for the mount, allowing it to stay in the air for a limited time, and when they move, the stamina bar is also drained, so the player has to dismount.
I don’t support adding anything to steady flight. The way how steady flight is working is fine. My post was about how steady flight has all of these advantages and that would ruin the first time experience being in a new zone or land. When the developers worked so hard on these places we should admire their work via the ground and then earn steady flight to see from the air.
Oh and steady flight unlock should be simple like do the main campaign and explore the zones and nothing else.
