Why do we continue to re-learn flying?

[Anon-whitemane]

Cause flying is an awful mechanic. There’s a reason why almost no games implement flying.

Because they’d rather you explore the game on foot rather than just flying past it all.

Flying lets you autopilot. Being on the ground is a way more engaging experience.

Flying is literally when you get to actually explore.

And what’s that

[Morgueant-kul-tiras]

They are so devoid of any creative talent coupled with indifferent apathy that all that’s left to ‘fill in’ is artificial, arbitrary, and immersion killing time sinks and gates.

They are doing this to let you know that wow is not taking any new direction, it will just be more and even more of the same garbage content we have come to expect from a team of people who killed their own golden goose. Fools!

If you can’t figure out why The Witcher series, Dark Souls series, The Last of Us series, Uncharted Series, every battle royal, Escape From Tarkov, Super Mario series, and every nearly every open world game doesn’t have flying, then you don’t know enough about game design to comment on the issue.

[Nui-feathermoon (Nui)]

Sorry, I didn’t see an answer to the question I asked. What is the reason almost no games implement flying?

[Anon-whitemane]

The answer is: The exact same those games don’t have flying.

[Rollo-thunderhorn (Rollo)]

The guys who make Uncharted don’t try to sell me flying mounts while telling me how bad for their game flight is.

[Nui-feathermoon (Nui)]

Sorry, but I don’t see an answer to the question I asked. Why?

Hmm, all those listed are single player games or short burst pvp games. You’re comparing apples to oranges therefore can be dismissed.

[Nui-feathermoon (Nui)]

They only listed some games, naming game titles doesn’t answer why those games don’t have flying in them. Apparently there’s a reason, but it’ an unspoken one.

[Näamah-ragnaros]

Not even mentioned 1 MMORPG , there’s an argument for each side but using those examples just make everyone think you’re trolling

“Oh you know why. I’m not going to say it because it’s so obvious” is such a cop out answer. Well that or just a contrarian being a contrarian. I’m thinking it’s the latter…

DING DING DING!! We have a winner!

[Nui-feathermoon (Nui)]

Their reputation precedes them, this is not an isolated thing.

[Näamah-ragnaros]

Thank u , thank u i want to take this 5 sec of fame to thank my family in Sylvermoon, but mostly myself for discovering this important finding for the citizens of Azeroth’s forum/

[Ithost-illidan]

talent void dev team keeps letting the wheel rotate because they have no vision or ideas to offer. They just go w/ the old. Ion is a horrible leader.

[Saòirsè-aggramar]

our mounts are forgetful.

@Cyous-illidan

Eh, he’s the designer for many of the best boss encounters in the history of the game. Whether you like or dislike him as Game Director, he deserve credit as an Encounter Designer.

And that is where he should of stayed.

Just because a person is good at what they do , doesn’t mean they are good to lead others

[Glortia-moknathal]

Devs hate flight even though most players enjoy it. Its just out of spite for what happened during WOD. Even now we that we have flight its mostly obsolete content now. New content doesn’t allow flight at all. They still win.
