Just switch the flight style?

But why do you have to do that? Why do you have to have all skyriding or all normal flying?
Just give me 1 good reason why you are not allowed to directly select which mounts are skyriding and which are regular

No one can, not even the guy who made the decision.

i had 1 dragonriding mount, and 1 normal flying mount icons side by side in the taskbar, now i cant do that, either both are dragonriding or both normal flyingâŚ

There are an excessive number of mouns in the game to have to assign flight mode one by one.
I donât own every possible mount but thatâs a lot to filter through, none the less.
The idea of the flight stance seems to be to allow you access to all your flying mounts bar that one Ottuk.

can we stop making pointless burner threads about something that is a non issue and let real threads with substance actually not be drowned out?
Thank you.

Exactly. We should have option to change each mountâs way of flying, not this âone-for-allâ exclusive.
Edit : ah, too many mounts? So what? Many old mounts simply do not look nor feel right when skyriding, and sometimes I just need to hover. At least consider to implement it as an option in future patches, pleaseâŚ

But come on, this is 2024, solutions exist. Just have a âsteady allâ, âdragonflying allâ box plus the possibility to select by groups (Dragon mounts, bird mounts, etc) like you have for pets.
Assigning each mount a flight mode need not mean clicking once on every mount.
Although I have to say I like your suggestion of turning toggle cast time into a debuff more. And it should be easier to do.

Right now you donât have an option. Itâs all skyriding or all regular. What Iâm asking for, and what everyone has been asking for is not to disable this, but to tweak. Give us the option to manually set an override. If some of us are insane enough that we want to go through 300+ flying mounts, let us do that. Donât give us the âyou think that you do but you donâtâ response.
As i mentioned in other threads before, regular flight is much better for short distances, skyriding for longer. I donât want to sit there changing riding for 5 seconds. Why is it 5 seconds? Why is it not instant? Why not 1 second?
I think it takes 1.5 seconds to mount
Yet it takes 5 to switch types? Why?
I am asking you to be honest and give me a reason why it takes 5 seconds. We used to be able to mount our regular mount in 1.5, dismount and mount a dragonflying in 1.5 and the game knew to give us the dragonflying effect. If the game was able to do that, why does it suddenly take 5 seconds for it to be able to recognize this setting?

Ye, instead of the insane long 5s cd on switching between normal flying and the new one (before I just swapped mount if I wanted to use normal flying to find something hidden on the ground, and now it feels like a nerf), there should be an option to choose the flying on a specific mount. Just right click on the mount to assign skyriding or normal flying.

This is a solution that works for you, and that is fine, but itâs not a solution that works for me.
I did no such thing. You asked for possible reasons and I gave you one.
The cast time itself has spawned various discussions and many agree the five second cast time isnât fun:-

Spot on. Pick a mount for the style you want at the time you want has been working fine up until now.

Iâm sorry, but this is 100% the âyou think you do but you donâtâ.
You basically said âyou couldnât possibly want to have this toggle on every mount, look at how many mounts ther areâ
Translate this to transmog. âThere is an excessive amount of mogs for all your gearpieces to have to pick to use or not, better stick to only having the option to mog whole setsâ
Transmogging whole sets is very convenient for people who want to look a certain way and make their mog fit together but donât want to go through every piece (like me), but there are those who want to go through every mog they have to presonalize their wardrobe just the way they want.
The same way, I want to personalize the way my stables work just the way I want, not just apply a uniform method.

Are you forgetting that Blizzard removed flying all together in WoD, despite a massive forum debate on the subject. So many players cancelled their subs that Blizzard reversed their decision.
That forced back down seemed to have annoyed Blizzard so much that theyâve been messing with flying ever since.

The way they have implemented this 5 second cast is a regressive approach for QOL. And when you remove QOL features, there will always be a backlash. Some will be genuinely upset, while others will moan just because that is what they want to do with their life.
I really do not know why people are being so defensive in Blizzardâs favour. Remember people come to WoW for entertainment. When you actively add a feature that make this cumbersome then the only thing that will happen is less people play.
Whoever thought this was going to sail well should give his head a real good shake.

In my opinion Blizzard have a few options
- Replace the 5 sec cast time with instant cast which dismounts the player when switching flying types
- Add a check box to each mount telling it what type of flight to be used and then add 2 key binds
I think Blizzard must have 2 options. One for those who donât want to go through all their mounts and one for those who would do it. More options the better.
Before the patch I was expecting Blizzard to Copy the addon Litemount https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/litemount

I have said this is in several of discussions (so canât remember if Iâve said it in this one) but personally it would be better to apply a five second debuff to the player to prevent swapping fast if that is the aim. We already have a cast time to mount.
Personally not keen on the litemount solution. Itâs fine if you only want to have a couple of mounts assigned but more than that itâs a big task to go through and assign what will work then. I used to use litemount before to stop it over riding my preference for steady flight. It wasnât a big deal to set up because we only had half a dozen skyriding mounts so they were just excluded. Now we have almost every flying mount.
The one thing I do like about the current system is that I can use all the mounts for all the flying, regardless of which one I choose. I spend 99% of my time in steady flight. If the system changed as you proposed I would probably just mark one for skyriding and keep the rest as steady flight.
Itâs not the end of the world for me if the system changes. Itâs probably more of an issue for those that now enjoy both forms of flying.
I agree that more options are always better but I think itâs unlikely that theyâd do multiple systems for this.
