It’ll be nice to have mount variety in the zones it is enabled in. Thats always a nice change.

As far as I’m concerned those of us who prefer it won big by them taking away the crappy rep requirement.

Now I just gotta slog through embers of neltharion on a character I don’t even necessarily want to continue playing, because it’s the most progressed. So kind of a microcosm of the same suck that rep grinding causes. Oh well, guess I’ll start working on it when I get home later.

I’m very pleased. All I have to do now is get the new zone explored and I’ll have all my lovely mounts to use around the zone, and elsewhere (mostly) in the Isles.

I dont ever want it. I just want a hover option added to Dragon riding. So I can afk mid air if needed. Also want dragon riding added to old world areas. Regular 310% is just too slow now

I’m sure this issue has been resolved. No one will ever have any disagreements and we can all live in harmony.

Not me prefer Dragon Riding like guess It’ll be helpful for collecting those flags on mountains that are annoying to land on via dragonriding at least but other then that well sticking Dragon Riding.

Very excited!

I’m blessedly not part of the playerbase who have genuine medical issues which make Dragonriding difficult - if not impossible - but, I am someone who has long gotten over the gimmick flight. I miss my favorite mounts, as much as I may love my proto-drake and slitherboi; it’ll be nice to get to use them again, and actually be able to explore the vastness of the Isles more slowly. I’ll actually be able to appreciate the world more from the air again, lmao. A bit hard to while going 500mph at the highest distance I can climb just to avoid the annoying terrain shifts going from zone to zone.

I just hope Pathfinder’s required achievements are tracked account-wide. I want to do the Dream stuff on my more druid-focused character, but it’s my old mage main who has all the other achievements unlocked. So hopefully, when my current main finishes the Emerald Dream exploration achievement, it’ll pop Pathfinder for me.

I can speed run my mage through it if I have to after, but it’d be nice to not have to. Arcane is pain. :dracthyr_cry_animated:

Exactly. And other things that are annoying when you need pinpoint precision. Not saying it’s impossible with dragonriding but it’s a PITA.

raises hand

Me me!

Will finally be able to use my favorite flying mounts again :+1:

As a side-note… I think it’s sooooo lame how they went with a “ground only” KSM mount model this time around, legit the Shadowlands KSM mounts not just looked better but they were also unique and didn’t look like “just another re-colored Kodo” like these DF mounts

So even in the depths of boring Shadowlands content droughts they still had the common sense/foresight to offer flight-capable KSM mounts

That would make a big difference, though I’m learning to slow, and drop glide over areas (just back & learning), it’s not quite enough … yet. I guess. Still overshooting the mark, and going so fast it’s hard to to navigate by land points as references.

But glad we have the option, but truthfully told, I’d rather land or travel or fly quickly.

That isn’t an accident…because they received a lot of flack for designing a flying carpet into a ground only mount in WoD aka creeping carpet and then they sold pre order mounts for WoD that could fly. In an expansion that they tried to remove TBC flying.

Fast forward to DF and yeah they planned on removing TBC flying again if they could get away with it. Player feedback prevented that from happening.

What’s gonna be your choice of poison for the “my TBC flying is too slow” drinking game?

Mine is water, because anything with alcohol will probably see me dead before midnight.
