Zero flight server needed

Need more unique servers please.

I dont want this game to turn into racing gamesimulator, so i rather just have the ground exploring with portals, and the basic taxis.

And no, it does not work the way “just dont use it”.
Couse other players gonna race you to the quests like madddogs, is horrible for casuals.

Gonna stay in Classic for a while now.

The flight mode seems to be defaulting itself… funny how it never goes the older way, always the newer way ? Real bug, bugs both ways.

Suggest different unique servers;

And how would you get up the hills and mountains that are un walkable???

Grappling hooks? The whole server would need to be remapped just for this to work.

Actually like those grapling hooks.

Another thing is portals to special quests.

I gotta be honest, I don’t think a lot of people would play this server. It would just be an additional wasted cost for Blizzard. Most everyone prefers flight.

Then you wouldnt mind having one to see the actual numbers.

I would put my Loremaster in there anyway.

Uh, yeah I’d mind. My point is it would be wasted developer time and server costs for Blizzard to host this remade server. So many things are tied to flight these last two expansions so it would be a lot of work just to disable it. And again, I don’t think it would be popular at all.

No need to fragment the playerbase even more. Simply implement a buff like the following:

Grounded:

  • Toggable on and off at capital cities only.
  • While enabled, flight is disabled. Flight points still work however.
  • Ground mount speed increased from 100% to 250%
  • Dragonriding quests become unavailable
  • All gold income, all currencies income and all gathering materials earned regardless of source increased by 10x to make up for the time loss of not flying

Just don’t use flying mounts then?

No…

Just a waste of Ressourcen because most people like flying and dragons ridding.
Shall I remind you as during Wod Blizzard cancelled flying and the outrage of the comm, so they implanted it per pathfinder as detour.

Ah and have fun travels to place only you need flying (some flying island, the entrance of thw raid with the wind element lord ect or travel through DF zones.

But racing cart ground mounts with ridiculous speed are betting and more immersion as flying mounts :face_with_monocle:

So the minority of players shall ne spoon-feeded for a minor inconvenience which dosnt hinder the at the quest/ level process (in contrast to warmode) and getting reward heavily for the “mimimi, i don’t like flying!!!”

Seriously, get over it, its 2024 and flying is big part of the game, like transmogg or M+

There aren’t any. Or at least none that are in any way important.

The whole place is littered with grappling hooks and ropes and webs and flight points and everything else.

TWW’s world was definitely not built with flying in mind. There’s that one dungeon, but otherwise - nothing. I don’t know when it was created, but I think most of it was done before Dragonflight came out. In fact it might even have been before Dragonriding was conceived.

So… yeah, there’s no problem here.

You will still be able to fly under my suggestion. Flying wouldn’t be removed.

We also need to be separated from the flying crowd, who would want to compete with people who have flight advantage, right? Also, it would be unfair if someone could swoop in before you and just yank the node before you can even get there.

What could possibly go wrong.

You would end up having people who zoom around like a squirrel on Crimson Steer Energy Drink (that was a real thing yo), getting x10 rewards from everything they do while not having to compete for it with others.

I’d agree with you if traveling and distance would matter. But in WoW it doesn’t, and never did.
There’s open world sandbox MMOs where traveling slowly/meeting other players matters (I don’t mean socially, but gameplay wise), but again, in WoW it doesn’t. Nor does this community want that sort of interaction so what you’d get is a boring walking simulator.

i would transfer to that server in a heartbeat, flighting is fun it makes the lv-ling process faster but you are missing alot never allow flighting from day 1 but allow it at the end when you reach lvl 80 in this case.

Which is why it’s very unlikely.

Things like this you can impose on yourself but not on others.

Blizzard tried cancelling flight in WoD.

It went so badly that not only did they have to revert it, but it basically tarred the expansion.

Shame as it a great raid in it (Black rock foundry) and the start of mythic dungeons

Waste of time and money, nobody will play it. Certainly not you no-fly types. Nah, you’ll just come back here and cry about flying.

The problem with ideas like this is where do you stop it?

Let’s say the wish is granted and we get the no-flight server.

People on it will want x-realm for groups for example, and they’ll complain that people they group with can fly.

They’ll complain that people can fly have an advantage when it comes to farming, since AH is cross realm.

It’s just a headache Blizzard doesn’t want

I want a server without gnomes ! :slight_smile:

On a serious note, I agree. People can just choose not to fly and accept the consequences.
