Please and thank you. No reason to not have it at this point other than to annoy us.

Korthia is minor. The maw still annoys me.

I have goblin glidered all over the place and there’s no barriers to flight. It’s actually quite cool to see those places from the sky.

If Kyrian and Mawsworn can fly there and my mounts “heed my call now,” then I vote for flying! :smiley:

I dont understand why they do this in the first place. its like a serious control issue more than anything necessary for the game.
Once we’ve spent time in there, just open up flight for christ sake.

They can’t because they made the 2 zones under “smokes and mirror” aka argus and blood elf zone. The whole place would be a texture mess and out of bounds stuff when flying.

I hope you’re wrong and it’s just the masochism.

No they didn’t. You can run up many of those chains and look down on everything. You can run all over the edges of those mountains in Desmotaeron and see everything. You can glider off of everything. You can fly across the areas that are open to Korthia and in Korthia.

It was absolutely not built the same.

Funny, it looks good from the top of the tallest chain and on a glider.

He is wrong. It’s nothing like Argus.

Yes, but give flying to Worgen and Druids only for 9 months in keeping with Shadowlands’ balance for such things.

Its probably a sky box issue like argus. Wont happen

I would be happy to have this but I doubt it would ever come. It’s too late now, with the next patch coming those zones won’t be as active anymore (which brings its own problems) and thus not many people will be asking for this.

Yet to hear a good reason to not have flying, ever. Besides caves and then we should be using ground mounts. At this point it’s either laziness and or greed that we ever have mount restrictions of any kind. Could design a true 3D experience designed around flying mounts, but they prefer we grind out some delayed achievement just to do something we already have unlock or earned in other zones/ previous expansions.

Thanks for sharing the video. I enjoyed the information - I’d been kvetching about no flying in Argus (and some of the other places mentioned) and it’s good to know there’s SOME kind of reason. Although, as much money as they’re making, you’d think they could do some backfill on these older places. Some of us still go there on lower level alts, etc.

I don’t get why design these zones like that at all at this point unless their intention was to never have flying there anyways. Which is probably the truth.

To be intentionally no flying. To keep us on the ground.

They keep doing it, too. I really don’t get it. I know they want players to ‘exerience’ the ground level view, etc, but once I can fly, personally, I then can REALLY explore and experience the world-building. Without dying fifty gajillion times in the process (or at least having to fight every few minutes when I want to play tourist, instead).

God I miss those big damage numbers, when leveling felt like you did something and actually grew in real power. Instead of a super low level cap and your damage went up a whole tens.
I miss the visual growth, badly. It all feels so weak now.
