For those that are slow on the uptake they are slowly nerfing the speed to DR and slowly bumping up the speed of TBC normal flying.
You will wake up one day with the realization that TBC normal flying is the same speed or close to DR.
Then what?
All the slurs about “sky swimming” or “bot lovers” goes out the window when you realize BlizZard has convinced you that DR is superior by gradually nerfing the speed while you are forced to participate in the mini game aspects of DR and all the pointless rule sets associated with DR.
I have pointed this out many times why the speed of DR could not stay like it was in DF.
The speed literally causes massive stress on servers.
Smaller maps are not designed with that speed in mind.
The ability to hop onto DR mount while in combat and fly away invalidates a lot aggro breaks mechanics that are inherent in classes, specs and racial (shadowmeld)
The term “Dragonflying” made sense. The mounts were dragons. Dynamic was just a name. Titles of things change. They determined “Dynamic” as a name didnt fit. So they decided to change it to sky riding.
Dragon Flying wouldn’t be a great title. And what they did decide on changed again. It happens quite often.
And it was only a 10% reduction. Without a mod telling you, I doubt anyone would even notice.
And the 30% buff to old flying is nice. They didnt have to update it and left it at 310.
TWW maps are smaller because that is a logical poor choice if they want to promote DR.
Like I said the rug pull is already in motion.
Watch as they add more restrictions to DR come into fruition because of the decision for “smaller maps”.
What logical reason is there to make smaller maps when you just introduced DR in an expansion that closely follows TWW?
Didn’t they say that they heard the players about making things evergreen and having design goal in mind? I guess that is thrown out the window like everything else that is one off features in many expansions.
Yes, they could shut down all game servers tomorrow, cause it’s their game. That is absolutely their prerogative just as not allowing standard flight at the beginning of TWW.
It’s not a reason though. If they don’t want to give a reason, that’s fine, but it’s not good service to the customers that support them. There’s a reasonable expectation for them to convey the logical sense behind a decision such as this.
“Because it’s their game” is in the same line as “because I said so,” which is a very emotionally immature way to dodge the question.
It’s not just hate - it’s expense. It’s much less expensive to create places like Silvermoon where you don’t have to worry about what’s behind the facade (sort of like Hollywood the “old west buildings” are sometimes modern offices on the inside).
Meh. I still don’t get the point of your post other than you hate Dragon Riding and have a weird chip on your shoulder about it.
Even with the speed adjustments Dragon Riding is still much faster and those of us who like it find it to be more enjoyable than AKF sky swimming. Just be happy they buffed the speed of old flying.
There absolutely should be a difference. It is the same reason that GW2 has two different mounts; a speedy griffon, or a more slow but precise skyscale. It is the same with old flying and dragonriding here. With one you get a lot more speed but it takes paying attention to, and the other is easy as dirt and more precise but slower.
Heh, for Remix though, being on a dragonriding mount doesn’t help much for rares either. Things just die too quickly due to the nature of Remix.
For Live, something like that invulnerability timer that they have been using extended to more bosses would be wonderful. Give people time to get there.
Your posts do not make as much sense as you seem to think they do. I am curious what it is you think is going to happen? Like actually what, not just more weird cryptic messages.
I do not think they will ever make old flying and dragonriding one to one speed, nor should they. They both fill a niche as they are now. They brought down the speed a little as I guess they figured it was a little too much in the Dragon Isles (and adjusted elsewhere), but the way it is now is still super fast.
Will they bring it down a little more in the future? Perhaps, but prolly not nearly as much as you seem to think. Nor will they buff air swimming as much as you seem to hope. Again, it would negate the unique advantages of each type of flying.
Oh, but please go ahead and insult my intelligence again.
Not only did they bring down the speed of DR but they bumped up the speed of TBC normal flying to be closer to DR.
Since you know it all maybe I should remind you that more nerfs to DR speed is a possibility!
Like I said all you DR lovers will wake up one day and realize that DR speed is not going to be that big of a difference than TBC normal flying. Then what? The luster of DR goes away as BlizZard rug pulls and nerfs the speed more and more.
Yeh, they did alter both the speeds, but that does not mean that will ever be much the same. Dragonriding at its core is supposed to be faster, while old flying is meant to be more slow and precise. Like the GW2 griffon vs the skyscale.
I still do not think they will ever equalise the two as much as you seem to think, but only time will tell.
Either way, the fun for me in dragonriding is the variable speed. I can coast along slowly if I like, I can speed up and go fast if I like. I can dive to gain speed and swoop and play through the air. I dislike the sameness of old flying. It is the same speed no matter whether you are climbing or descending, it feels boring to me personally. I do not begrudge those that prefer it, though.
Actually the slight shower speed which is actually very slight from dragonflight xpac is not even noticeable in Beta while playing TWW. I should know I been testing it. I am not 100% sure but I believe its the same speed that is used for Skyriding in all other content outside of the dragon isle anyways. So that does not matter one way or the other. Nothing is being hidden in this up coming xpac about Skyriding and how its being handled. So your whole holy crusade that somehow the rug being pulled out every single time you post your negative subjective post about Skyriding make less and less since.
We all know and are well aware you dislike Skyriding no matter what name is given to it, the name sake shouldn’t matter anyways, it is the new normal flight mode in the game and at least one of the Div publicly have said so going forward. They also stated that they wont abandon the old style TBC flying. What you get out of that is that TBC style will not be the focus of development more than likely while they will develop more on Skyrinding.
Being mad, or disliking something is one thing, but feeling you need to carry out a crusade and put out false info or very strongly at best subjective influenced opinion as fact. Is very wrong. Though I am glad you do have a opinion and stick to your guns on it. I just wish you actually lent yourself more argument along the term that don’t end up just discrediting your argument in the 1st place.
Ether way have a wonderful day and time playing WoW.
When BlizZard hears that they will definitely make “adjustments”.
True but at the end of the day what they did with TWW is knee cap DR by making the zones smaller and nerf the speed. More likely more speed nerfs happen. Then what?
By the way you are a valued member of the WoW community. Have another cookie!
