There is no flying in 9.1

I absolutely agree, i just dont think the current heads of WOW want us flying. It makes things too fast, and they dont want that.

145

That’s mostly due to the design decisions they make: Do as little as possible while making as much money as possible.

Old zones while they had empty zones, were designed like that to allow for exploration instead of being bombarded with multiple things for moving for a few seconds and some of them even had content designed for flying.

Which is why zones have become smaller and smaller and they have retained the same density to give you a feeling of “doing a lot”.

Yup. Lazy developing. Look at LK and outlands, heck even Cata. Zones designed to be flown in. Now days its almost on rails.

there have been zones where flying isn’t allowed for a LONG time. Argus anyone?

148

TBC: Isle of Quel’Danas.
Cata: Molten Front, Tol’barad (this was in the .0 patch!)
MoP: Isle of Thunder and Timeless Isle.
Legion: Argus.

And try to remember, it looks like 9.2 is probably the end of Shadowlands, so SL’s 9.1 patch would be equivalent to other expansions’ .2 or .3.

Korthia is literally trash and will serve no purpose except as a zone to go through on the way to a dungeon, within the next few months. You don’t even get loot from it anyway except if you’re buying it from Archist vendor or finding BoA ilvl 200 blue item generators which will be useless by next week. It doesn’t have any ore besides elethium and only has nightshade, as well, so it’s not like there’s a reason to spend time there like a zone unique ore.

I wouldn’t worry about the flying not working in Maw/Oribos.

Flying does not make things too fast. That’s a stupid, ridiculous strawman to gaslight people into thinking "Yea the devs are right, this feature that benefits me and hurts them by making it so that I can actually enjoy the game and accomplish my task, makes the game “go too fast.”

Smfh.

Weird


I’ve gotten one 226 piece (!), one 207, and two purple upgradeable 200s in 3 days, all of which are purples.

Oh, and probably 3,000 anima in 3 days.

Also just because there have been zones before where you can’t fly doesn’t make it okay now. It wasn’t okay then and it will never be ok. You still can’t fly anywhere in quel’thelas. After 15 years. Because of how the game world was designed. Quel’thelas is on an entirely different world map than the rest of Eastern Kingdoms and if you could fly, it would break the game.

The other examples I’m not sure but probably something similar, like how you can’t fly to isle of thunder because it’s instanced.

Not from mobs you haven’t. Quests, yea. I mean it’s possible but I highly doubt you got a 226 from Korthia that wasn’t a conduit. Everything I;ve seen drop was a 200 or worse except for quest rewards.

Okay. Dude, serious reply. Have you seen how small Korthia is? We don’t need flying there or in Oribos :sweat_smile:

153

So
 because the gear doesn’t drop from mobs, that somehow makes the zone “worthless”?

Kinda have to go into the zone to do the quests there, lol.

I don’t disagree that flying isn’t really necessary in Korthia. I was just refuting the other guy’s point that Korthia is a bad zone because “there’s nothing there” when there is lots of stuff there, lol.

154

Your aimless reply doesn’t disprove that it’s a worthless zone. Every single thing there revolves around repgrinding Deaths Advance and the Archivists. And flying would be a massive help in Korthia to counteract the god awful atrocious treasure chest placement.

In the future when it’s actually finished then, yea, maybe it will be worth it.

Imagine working and figuring out how to get to a treasure, rather than just flying to it


156

But all those multi-box druid’s will be farming herbs in the 4 zones.

157

I would love to know what you’re on, dude.

lol.

Repgrinding has been the whole focus of new zones since, like, Isle of Quel’danas back in TBC, and every single zone after it other than maybe Argus or Timeless Isle.

You talk like that’s a new thing or something. I love the anima gains, I’ve doubled the anima store in my covenant hall since 9.1 dropped, largely thanks to Korthia, and those purples have now bumped me up to where pretty much every item rewarded by WQs are now purples which means I can actually start building up some shards for my enchanter, etc etc.

Korthia has been great for me thusfar.

It is not a scam when we were told this up front.

Agree it’s a shame we can’t fly in zones that are actual current content. This sucks.

Flight is mostly just a feature for ALTS, so they can get around faster.

Ion will not give up in his arrogant no flying stance. He made “flying” a dirty word. Any time someone wants to fly, a white knight comes in and trolls about them wanting everything handed to them. The toxicity in wow starts at the top.

Using examples of places Blizzard was too lazy to add flying to in the past doesnt justify them for being too lazy once again right now
