Blizzard,
Please bring back the option to use Swift Flight Form. As druids with the special shape shift ability, we should be able to choose from all the different forms that have come around over the years. Swift Flight Form was a long process to attain, and, like Legion artifacts, should remain as an option to use if desired.

Not sure if I’m misunderstanding or… but swift flight form is still in the game. I use it instead of derpy bird from legion because I hate the way derpy bird looks.
Derpy Bird form was supposed to be a mount. They made it a form in the beta and said they would make it count as a mount for druids, not a form, when live hit.
GUESS WHAT DIDNT HAPPEN

How do you activate it? There is the glyph for the Tauren racial mount, but not the swift flight form.
I still think we should have formed into some green dragon aspect thing for the a remembrance to the emerald dream and how we all lost Ysera.
When you unlock the derpy bird you are at the NPC that allows you to swap back to the swift flight form. As there are two glyphs off the top of my head. One being of the sentinel that makes you a small owl, the other reverts you back to the none swift flight form version, though you still fly at epic flight speed.
Using ether of those will also remove the derpy bird form.
I’ll be happy enough if the ‘derpy bird’ form is another stand-alone form.
They seem terrified of adding more shape-shifting buttons.
Why?
You’re right, you can switch back. https://youtu.be/wyGlEfLzgIQ
I’m confused. I still got purple bird. I did the quest chain back in bc. I haven’t done the legion stuff to get the owl form if that’s what you’re talking about
There’s an NPC in the Dreamgrove. It’s up the hill to the right when you zone in from the Emerald Dreamway. Talk to that NPC and you can switch from derpy bird back to the gorgeous swift flight form.
I have several characters still using the original flight form, ie, stormcrow or golden eagle. Leveling is so fast now, especially now they’ve taken away many of the things I used to do while leveling up, that I don’t have gold on a new character on a new server to buy faster flight until partway into legion. So I stopped.
I think at some point a while back I heard it was going to be an option to use those original forms, though perhaps I misunderstood.
Anyway, I would like a seagull flight form, so I can strike fear into the hearts of anyone who got a seagull phobia from Eye of Azshara.
I wish we could get both travel and flight form back. Sometimes I want to run but am forced to fly.

I don’t know if it works but in dreamgrove where you can buy the skill flap. They have stag form. As well as tree form.
While the class bird looks a little derpy, love being able to carry someone. I kinda wish it was a bit smaller in size.
I love the Lunarwing form. I just wish they would atleast make a recolor for the allied races. Like a teal version for zandalari. Or be awesome and make a grand pterrordax.

In a post above I mentioned I have characters that have not bought faster flight, and thus still use the original forms.
I understand there was an issue at the beginning of BfA where it turned out that allied race flight form had to be mapped to the Lunarwing for it to work properly. I can verify that both stormcrow and golden eagle form do some bizarre things when the player enables Lunarwing.
Clearly QA didn’t take into consideration that those forms might still be in use.
Perhaps they saved some money by not mapping them. Maybe they figured that by restricting the use of Lunarwing to alts level 80+ would mean only those who had bought faster flight would use it.
But gee, after the way they crashed the economy, no leveling character without a higher level alt to fund that 10k cost of faster flying is going to be able to afford to buy faster flight at level 80. I don’t even have the 2k gold to upgrade a garrison to level 3 until after sometime after my character has gone to Legion.
