Blizzard has confirmed that you will only be able to “fly” in the Dragon Isles using the new Dragonriding system. Your broader mount collection will act only as ground mounts in the new zones
So instead of this being a fun thing we can do if we want, it’s already being forced upon the entire playerbase.
The amount of double speak about listening to us about these things is hilarious. This is 100% about to be worse than shadowlands.
I don’t think nothing can be worse than shadowlands (In my opinion), though it is true that, if it was confirmed that we cant use any other mount than the one they want us to use with the new system, is a problem (the problem here being ‘forced’).
The good thing (at least) that I can observe is that we will able to use flying from the beginning.
“Okay, we’re introducing a system where not only can you fly out of the gate, but you can fully customize your own special dragon mount to do so. Just means you won’t be able to use your mounts to start.”
They confirmed it in an interview, I think it was the one with Hazlenutty. But I was saying exactly the same thing to my wife, that if they don’t make it so all the other mounts don’t work then what would be the point of skilling up the dragonriding stuff to be able to ‘go higher’ etc, if you could just ride a regular mount and do it.
You people will cry about anything. The Dragon is faster than any 310 mount. You just have to unlock it by playing the game. I am looking forward to this. If they end up nerfing it because of you whiners I am going to be pissed.
That is also what I am seeing. Much like the new “race” they are hiding the real systems with thier vague comments because they know many players will hate their design decisions
Regular flying is so basic and boring. Outside of the convenience argument, I never understood it. I could see people being upset that they can ONLY fly on a dragon, but I’m more looking forward to seeing if Blizz can actually make flying interesting.
Maybe they’ll introduce the new flying mechanics to all other flying mounts. I don’t really care that much. I’d hope the new flying mechanics can be used outside of the Dragon Isles.
