I agree too. I need to wait on ground/fly faster/gather materials/kill mobs for it recharges its vigor.
Why does a dragon need vigor to fly? Maybe i do not want to travel to the edge of the map in 30 seconds. Maybe i want to travel slowly, hover in the air, land on ground, pick a flower and sniff while looking around.
Nobody is asking to remove dragon riding. With adding normal flying nobody needs to complain about the slower speed. And for me personally it would make quite a big change to be able to slow speed with my motion sickness. Flying to the M+ dungeons like jade serpent is a relief every time.
After trying this Dragon flying I have decided that although it is fun over ravines and other high places, I cannot like the way it behaves over the flatter parts of the landscape. I also don’t think I have really explored the landscape in the way I would on normal flying. Lastly I find that when I land for a node or a dirt pile I often land right in the middle of mobs which is quite irritating
Why is it that every time I try this dragon flying I feel like Sheldon Cooper using his driving simulator… Prone to finishing up on the second floor of the Glendale Galleria and taking out the pet store.
If only I could hover first before smacking straight into the wall. I gave up.
I’m seeing this error quite a bit in these discussions.
310% flying speed does NOT exist. The speed BONUS of a flying mount with Master Riding skill is 310% run speed, but the total speed of flight is 410% run speed. Dragon Riding is only twice as fast as normal flying…not more.
You can confirm this with a stopwatch and a long, straight stretch of ground…I did.
Did i say that someone was asking to remove it? Did i say it should be removed in order to have normal flying?
“With adding normal flying nobody needs to complain about the slower speed.”
Well yeah nobody needs to complain about it, you can always switch to the dragon riding.
But people will complain about it anyways for damn sure. It always happens
I don’t realy need 800% speed , just want to get around .
hi,
I am a very mature female player, flying the dragons give me vertigo! also my tribe of mounts will be mouldering in their cages, such a oversight of blizzard, the choice would be nice, so its ground mounts for me ,halving the experience, and fun, spending most of my time now leveling alts in other expansions , been playing wow for 15 years, lets hope blizzard will listen to their core players!
Have Blizzard officially announced anywhere if we will or will not be getting normal flying at any point?
It’s normal not to have it at the start but if they’re set on replacing it with this permanently I’m just gonna go somewhere else.
It’s a novelty, it’s fun as a novelty but I play an MMO to just casually chill out on when I don’t want a game with a lot of focus and it doesn’t matter if I stop paying attention for any amount of time. Something I can play while watching youtube or documentaries. Mounts are for convenience, nothing more and this isn’t convenient. It’s also a kick in the face to anyone that’s spent time and money collecting other mounts that they’ve now rendered useless and replaced with, in my opinion, ugly af options.
I really don’t care about anyone’s arguments either, I’ve just been unable to find an actual official statement on it one way or another.
I stil like the dragon riding its just fun and if fly to every node even that are close by yes the vigor bar is not anuogh…
+it prevent flyin herb multiboxer
+I find it fun atleast
+Its nice and fast (just get the coins to fill up all talents its easy after and acuont wide)
I don’t think it’s fun.
They should be banning them, regardless.
I don’t.
It’s fast yes, it’s not nice.
But having to wait and see the ‘blip’ on the map disappear while you’re waiting is just irritating and not fun.
Every second you have to wait is 1 too many. It’s NOT fun to wait. Period.
It’s really as simple as that.
Just let us use aaaaaaall the mounts we collected one way or another, including bought!!! (i would like my money back for them if i can’t use them) and we all good!.
And the lack of info on the topic from Blizz is just sad!
At this point I genuinely think this is 100% by design. I think they know at this point if they were honest and told us what they were planning they know people would leave so they’re deliberately staying quiet, not just about this, but a lot of concerns, to string people along for as long as they can for those extra subs.
Honestly, i don’t see a need to add normal flying. At best we need a dragonriding ability that allows us to stop mid-air and hover in one spot but not regenarate stamina for when one needs to afk.
With that ability added in there is no need for regular flying anymore.
If you want to auto-fly in one direction take a flight path.
The only other thing is to allow all mounts to dragonfly.
don’t see this happening any time soon but the next big thing would be reintroduce the whisle thing that brings you too the nearest flight pad.
You can fly faster than that with dragonflying though. Cruising speed is higher than that, burst of speed goes over 1000%.
It is more than twice as fast.
I get motion sickness for dragonriding. And i would like to play the game, so normal flying would be very beneficial. I don’t care dragonriding is faster, more efficient, better. Whatever. When blizzard creates areas with flying in mind i want normal flying or i can’t do the content in a reasonal way. Sitting every 5 minutes with my head in my hands eyes closed is not reasonable.
They have said it is coming at some point. I’m hoping for 10.1 but realise 10.2 is more likely.
I don’t really like Dragonriding, I’m not good at it and dread when I see that Pet Battle up high in Taldraxas, usually takes me two or three sessions to get up there with resting on the side of a mountain while vigour recharges.
I use the Flightmasters to get most places, they’ve added lots of these this expac, so I commend them on this.
Have you tried these?
The addon leatrix plus has options to tone down effects too. It’s called alternate screen effects.
Yes i have tried all of them.
