“”(With realm restarts) Added additional protections to prevent some deaths via flight-path disconnects. Now when you take a taxi, a protection aura is placed on you that prevents all damage, your hearthstone cooldown is reset, and your hearthstone spell is insta-cast. "
So what happened with this? This was posted last week and we had the Tuesday maintenance but there are still none of the flight path protections.
How do you know?
Because when you take a flight path there is no invincibility buff, hearthstone is not reset, etc.
I imagine it only procs if the flightpaths despawns. Otherwise you could easily abuse the heck out of it to reset your hearth cd.
That isn’t what they said they’d do. And it makes no sense. If they were capable of identifying when you fell off a flight path and only gave invincibility etc. in that specific case, they would have no need to do any of that. They would just teleport you to the end of the flight path to actually prevent all FP deaths, rather than the invincibility etc. which doesn’t prevent FP deaths.
That only happens if you fall off your bird.
It’s exactly what they said they would do.
