You compose your thoughts very well. And that is more than enough for a continued discussion. I would like to further elaborate that even with the removal of pathfinder that is only one step toward increasing accessibility for disabled gamers regarding sky riding.
TBC normal flying is a great and beloved flying tool but there are disabled players or players with nausea issues that want to use SR but can not because of current features are not sufficient enough.
But I had to say this to make it clear that removal of PF is just step 1. This topic isn’t going away even if PF was removed IMVHO!
Just a starting point to bigger and greater things for the WoW greater community to help out the disabled WoW gamer community.
Well if your thoughts that dynamic flight is going away just because you may not care for it. LOL good luck with that one. I am pretty sure its here to stay now.
That is all he ever does is whine and use other people as a crutch. The rest of the time he just bumps the topic over and over again stating nothing but what a good boy or girl you are for saying what he wishes he would have said.
If you haven’t, click the link I quoted above.
Quite literally 7 paragraphs ranting how amazing tbc flight is.
10/10 amazing read. Especially after seeing all his posts here lol.
Let’s not discount the actual disabled people who have commented on this, providing their own experiences having issues with skyriding. Hate to forget the ones you’ve point blank called liars.
Also do you have an opinion yet, or did you shake all the sand out of your shoes so you came to kick more up?
The point being, there are those with disabilities that are able to navigate around the mechanical deficiencies and there are those with disabilities who cannot. You guys are just as guilty of using the capable disabled people to try and discredit the incapable people. It’s a hypocrisy circus.
Fact is, there are those with disabilities who cannot skyride effectively, and the current design of the game pigeonholes them into having to deal with a cumbersome method of transportation instead. Can they eventually work around it? Yes. Should they have to? That’s the discussion.
Hey now. Only disabilities that are on the list are allowed to pass!
Look how many gang up on me and my opinion, yet I am disabled
But I also don’t think its necessary to mention every 2 seconds either. Imo its a game and irrelevant.
Here is the thing, I am disabled. I have my issues, does it prevent me from doing every single thing in the game of WoW. Well yes it does, but I don’t whine about it and I sure don’t expect special attention given to me because I have problems because I have disabilities because of my age and things that have happen to me through my life span that has took a toll on my body.
Its just a part of life. I sure as hell don’t want some pompous idiot on the internet to speak for me, saying a game needs to be changed as if he/she knows me personally and that I somehow needs to be advocated for. I am very well mentally capable to speak for myself.
Skyriding is definitely too hard for me. I don’t understand why skyriding isn’t locked behind an achievement rather than steady flight. Could someone explain?
Someone being disabled doesn’t mean they can’t either lie, or fall prey to the misinformation being spread by Mafic and others who are making up that it is impossible to unlock steady flight because they need skyriding.
Blizzard’s historical stance has been that they don’t like how steady flight (the only flight at the time) was very non-interactive going into WoD. Even in MoP, every area that was added post-launch they disabled flight for outright. Skyriding is a much more interactive system that still requires players to be engaged to a similar degree to ground travel, you can’t simply point and click past everything without some engagement in the game, so they seemingly still prefer that based on the older statement that was made.
Nobody’s gameplay would be harmed by releasing both at the same time. It’s ultimately just an arbitrary Blizzard decision that some people are using as a cudgel on others. As they do with many things, it’s essentially just children telling their sibling “but, Dad said!” and nothing more. They’d lose out on forum drama enjoyment if it was changed and nothing else.
