Now that we have “normal” flying in the Emerald Dream, I noticed that I actually preffer it most of the time becuase it is so much less punishing to run into a branch, or to hop between activities.
The more I play with this, the less I understand why we need vigor in the game. I understand that there are some special abilities tied to this xpac with the whole glyph system, but going into next xpac, I highly suggest that the devs will consider just dispensing with the vigor system.
This is especially true if the plan is indeed to disable normal flying when leveling next xpac, since there is nothing more annoying that hopping between quests and then just waiting for 3min for your vigor to fill. It doesn’t really serve any purpose in my opinion.
It will still be interactive in my opinion. You’ll reach max speed and work to maintain it like you do now.
You can have a short CD or something, but already on most ocasions you never run out of Vigor. It’s only when you actually need to hop around or run into a branch where it’s really punishing (the best example is doing the Seed activity).
I didnt think about the races - you’re right it makes a different there - but maybe make it only be part of the races.
I can see a way to fix the branch/frequent landing when farming issue by simply giving you some (1? 2? 3? idk) vigour back when you land or generally hit terrain. I do think that generally speaking, the system works well in the role it was made for.
There are two types of players. Those who like normal flying and those who enjoy dynamic flying. Both systems have their uses. I am against removing anything. Let people choose what,when and how to use.
I use normal flight for short disntances, to hover in the air, to fly afking, to farm, to avoid objects if I decide it would be more usefull.
Dynamic flying is usefull for long distance flight or to teleport back to wher I started. The ability had huge range.
Don’t dorget the racing tracks. Without vigor they are useless and can be removed.
I dont really agree with your dichotomy. I really like dynamic flying a lot more than normal flying (maybe expect when farming mats). I don’t think having Vigor is a core part of that enjoyment.
The fact that I need to swap to a slow mount every time I run into a branch is very inelegant.
In addiion, as I’ve mentioned before, the devs mentioned that they dont intend to let you use slow flying when leveling next xpac anywa.
Honestly, I don’t see much of a difference between vigour and this? Like you could do 1 to 1 conversion, just make everything cost 1/6 of the bar (and the spinny move half) and it’s literally the same thing.
It could be basically just UI change, you could achieve it with an addon.
