Take to the Skies with Skyriding

they were forced to implement it because it from 10 million to roughly 3 million subs in the span of only just over 1 quarter. execs barged in there and demanded to know what was going on.

I don’t have much lag Dragon Riding and I play over wifi with around a 100ms world

Can someone tell me why they need to reinvent flying and the rules about when and how we can fly every expansion and major patch?

Can we please just leave it how it is and not make us go through all these hoops and quests and leveling to get the end-version of it (until the next major patch or expansion)?

Just leave dynamic and standard flying alone and give us a dang toggle between them. Is it that hard? Or is it that someone needs to justify their job to shareholders by creating value where none was missing?

Sounds good to me. I’ll ground mount it the first play through as always and then fly. Having dynamic flight available if I need it is great. Looking forward to being able to use some of my favorite mounts.

That’s what they did.

Wait… the brooms don’t have skyriding? That’s worth rioting for.

Definitely more engaging than air swimming aka steady flight.

Please either keep the classic mounts optional for Skyriding (selectable upgrade or something). Or make it so you can hover. Skyriding can be fun; but it is very annoying when traveling long distances or searching for something.

If you read the article, it explains how the toggle works.

If you get on a dragonriding mount at below level 60 it flaps like a “Steady flying” mount right now.
Why they dont just implement that with every mount awith the ability to toggle on skyriding if the mount supports it is lost to me.

I’m confused. Isn’t that what the toggle does?

Thank you, Totally missed that. I will see my way out now…

Waaaaat!

Don´t tell me, my flight form is gone. It´s why I play druids, I can jump from a cliff and switch into a bird, it´s so fun and I can just cruise the sky like a hawk.

Instant flight form for druid is not gone. It just changes depending on which flight mode you have toggled.

I think theyre saying it’ll have the mounting time like mounts…I think…curious to find out myself

Anyone on the beta, did they fix the constant disconnects when you crash in the old world? Just curious.

As i read it (Wrongly perhaps) You are grounded until you toggle on Steady flight. Just have Steady flight the default for every mount and toggle on skyriding for mounts that use it.

11 of 13 mates of mine who unsubbed after they were forced to use Dragonflying as a way of travel in Dragonflight remain unsubbed - only two came back only when Dynamic flying was reintroduced…

I’m sure there are quite a few others who are still on the fence as well, and this hairbrained idea might not result in the best outcome…

IMO they do need to make it able to be toggled for individual mounts; that way we can still switch between them like we can do currently.

Having to stop and reset it is going to prove to be annoying.

Tried to tell you all what was going to happen with TWW goes live…being forced once again to use Dragon Flying for whatever reason they can make up now…TWW isn’t about Dragon so they can’t use that excuse now…Steady flying isn’t faster …can’t use that excuse either…

But once again they took normal flying/steady flying its named now away till we reach max level and complete the campaign…but why is it being removed in the first place…why can’t we have both…let the players that want to zoom zoom…go zoom…let the players that want to putt putt around go putt putt…what is it hurting …nothing…you are making many players angry again…many of them are disabled too…
