Flight points - taxis

Increase speed by 50-100%. ATM it’s too slow.
Allow dismounting INSTANTLY anywhere!!

Thanks

I agree especially in vanilla zones they are still very slow i think from MoP upwards the pace is better for some reason or maybe the maps are smaller .

Do you mean mid flight and get a parachute ? if so i think that would be funny but could lead to unexpected accidents .

I agree. Bit of speed would make them more tolerable and can we also get rid of all the scenic routes with same trouble please?!

Instant dismounting sounds like something that would be fun on my druid but not so fun my other characters that drop like a rock. I would press it by accident for sure. If we get parachute then yes!

You can do that on your normal flying mount too. Who has not ever died this way? :smile: But we have parachutes (currently blue punchcard from mecha-trinket) and gliders available too. Or … bubble :slight_smile:

I used to think flight times were long then I went and played Classic with a friend.

I tend to look at my other monitor and do stuff when I’m on any flightpath. I personally don’t really mind it but I can see why others would like it to be faster.

Yeaaa in theory. :laughing:

There have been various bugs in game that have given us that experience. I can remember getting a random d/c while on a flight path and when I could get back in the game it placed me in mid air no longer on a flightpath mount.

Because in old zones path wiggle and have unnecessary loops.

I had similar just last week when my husband was flying my alt in Draenor on sandstorm drake and for some reason game kept dropping me down like every fewhundred meters. On the end my husband just desided to fly higher so, when i dropped down, he could gracefully dive down so i could hop back on before reaching the ground and agroing stuff. That trip took way longer that it was supposed to. Without the parachute included i wouldn’t be here to tell this story.

We need parachutes on that system i tell you!

My friend has trolled me before and flown up really high and booted me off his two person mount knowing I’ll be stuck with a parachute fall all the way down.

If I get a dungeon queue pop in that time it never remembers when I come out that I had a parachute either, or it’s just timed out and gone.

I am grateful for bubble!!!

flying from north to south as alliance in kalimdor never really got that much better…especially if you go from teldrasil or auberdine to un’goro…

At this rate why even have a flight paths just teleport players every where why not…

My suggestion is much better and within the rpg lines of the gamr

Not every Gryphon can be as fast as the undead ones they keep in Acherus. Try going there with a non DK and it flies you away to Dalaran in a jiffy.

I was today years old when I found out that Retriman betrayed us all and made a yankee forum toon. :pensive:

And I very strongly agree with the second point in this OP too.
