[UPDATED JUNE 25] Prepare for Lift Off: Get Ready for Flying in Chains of Domination

[Sunzsu-alexstrasza]

I liked how you guys gave a specific release date in the article rather than continuing to leave us hanging wondering if the patch will come this month or next decade.

This feels like when you’re on a flight and get stuck taxiing on the runway for 2 hours.
They keep telling you the flight will take off soon, but it feels like it’s never going to happen.

OMG.

When I deployed to Kuwait it was like 3AM and we were in the airport and every 15 minutes some guy would come out and say “We’re going to start boarding soon”

I wanted to kill him lol.

[Hamstar-draktharon (Hamstar)]

When will then be now?

[Grumbles-hellscream (Grumbles)]

This is why I finished all four covenant quest chains and got each of the four to forty.

@Vulgrïm-area-52

Whats so difficult about making flying available on a vendor for 4k gold?

They tried that, and it worked, so they had to fix it.

@Grumbles-hellscream

all four covenant quest chains and got each of the four to forty.

Imagine if that was required for Flying!
It’d be saltier than the Dead Sea up in here

[Ravenskar-windrunner (Ravenskar)]

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves for continuing to delay it this long.

It is just pathetic.

[Rollo-thunderhorn (Rollo)]

Upon completing a quest contained within the “The Last Sigil” storyline, you’ll be rewarded with Memories of Sunless Skies. This consumable item allows all characters on your account to purchase the Riding Skill needed to fly within the four main Shadowlands zones!.

Are we unlocking the ability accountwide (as previous Pathfinders did) or unlocking the accountwide ability to purchase flight?

[Mokrawr-area-52 (Mokrawr)]

It really sounds like the latter.

Guess they figured out how to keep Pathfinder and make us pay gold for flight just like we all wanted!

[Misbecky-argent-dawn (Misbecky)]

Anybody on the PTR able to clear up what the cost is?

[Sunzsu-alexstrasza]

@Rollo-thunderhorn

or unlocking the accountwide ability to purchase flight?

Gonna tableflip if it’s an anima grind.

(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

[Mokrawr-area-52 (Mokrawr)]

Players: “Why can’t we just buy flight?”
Blizzard: “Your wish has been granted!”
Another finger on the Monkey’s Paw curls

@Humanityr-area-52

Still no date

Given the timing of the last wing for testing on PTR, the length of PTR having been up, the low number of class changes this week, TBCc being live now, and now this post, I’ll bet they take down PTR next week and 9.1 goes live the week after.

[Kynthios-thrall]

Well if we’re getting a blog post, we’re probably going to get a release date soon as well. So woohoo, this PTR is finishing up and we’ll finally get to see what comes next (especially tier sets)

[Burnysanders-lightbringer]

But when tho =D? My guild hasn’t raided in literal months now as a whole because everyone doesn’t feel like logging in at this point with the content still available. It’s given me plenty of time to play other games but I wish I knew if there was an ETA so we could start recruiting again or sound the horns for people to freshen up again lol.

[Rhielle-sentinels (Rhielle)]

Instead of challenging you with a Pathfinder achievement

… challenging? Seriously? LOL

you’ll instead earn flying in Shadowlands early on

Out of context, I know, but this is definitely not “early.”

[Syoki-malganis]

I’d rather have to do the quest chain then have to do the other grinding mechanisms in the past.

[Kiwì-dentarg (Kiwì)]

@Bolttington-area-52

Watch it cost anima, or a large sum of gold over the previous pathfinder iterations to where all you had to do was grind something out, similar to what their doing now.

Well, if they are going to stay with the “theme” of the people in the shadowlands have no use for gold, it shouldn’t be gold. But I could see them make it an unrealistic amount of anima just to make it so people can’t get flying very fast. lol

[Dirtyfurry-mankrik]

This is just mean teasing at this point. lol

Prepare for flying? What do you think people have been doing the last 6 months?

[Meezah-moon-guard]

It will be then that the expansion will officially begin.
