Why i can't fly?

anyone else is having problems with flying ?

i tried different mounts and nothing, and my character used to be able to fly

Edit

also there is not option to turn off dragon riding, seems like all people who doesn’t had dragon riding unlocked just can’t fly

I just logged out so I don’t know the name, but there is some new button that toggles Skyriding on and off. Maybe that’s it?

I’m strangely having this issue as well. Tried across multiple flying mounts and dragonriding mounts, but double tapping spacebar to fly isn’t working on any of them, so I never get off the ground. I checked my mount settings - set to Skyriding. No idea, but I’ll check again in the morning.

Yes, am having the same trouble. I fly for a few dozen yards, can’t control my ride, then it lands.

I was in for a good 20 minutes or so and didn’t notice anything like this. Not to say that it isn’t happening. I know it is. It just might be sporadic in nature.

I can’t fly either. All my flying mounts are landlocked.

I’ve never been in DF content so I don’t have dragonflying. Seems like people who do aren’t having any problems, but people who have never unlocked dragon riding seem to be bugged.

I noticed that my dragon riding action buttons were screwed up. I had to re-arrange the buttons so everything worked properly.

I logged back in to look at this. My buff says I have Skyriding enabled. I used the new “switch flight style” button just to test. I could then steady fly on my mount. Switched back to Skyriding and tried again - no go. Tried on multiple flying mounts including some dragonriding ones from DF just to be safe. Pressing space bar just does the mount animation but I never take off. Maybe something has changed or I’m just missing something?

me to no flight

This was the case at MOP Remix as well, they hotfixed this later on, so I guess they forgot the hotfix here?

All my flying mounts are non Dragonflight and all my wives’ mounts are all Dragonflight, wth is going on

all mounts but I think the otherworldly ottuk are now dragonflying mounts.

You now default to dragonriding turned on for all available mounts. You have to go into your mount menu and disable it if you want normal flying.

When I mount a dragonriding mount (like my grotto netherwing drake) I don’t even get the skyriding action bars to appear. Currently set to “Skyriding” and have tried using the toggle to go back and forth just to see. But yeah, I appear to be grounded on flying/skyriding mounts and can’t take off.

(I’m on my level 70 toons who were skyriding just fine before prepatch this morning)

Oh well, I’ll check back again in the morning! Good luck, all!

Sounds like something you should all be posting in Bug Forum. GD can’t do anything about this but commiserate.

No problem here. I was able to switch between old flying and dragon flying and they both seemed to work fine.

Maybe it’s the zone you are in. I was testing in Dalaran.

Just making sure it’s not just me. I haven’t been in beta so I wasn’t sure if it was an actual problem or I was just missing something silly. Seeing others with the same issue confirms. :slight_smile:

its all bad man how did Thay miss this up so bad

Switch modes.
