Immersion-wise I think this is a great idea. How would wild dragons respond to unknown smaller creatures among them? They'd attack and kill probably? As long as you can potentially permafly with the new dragon riding i think this is a pretty rad idea. Keep the focus on the lore and rules at hand!
This might be fun and make the zones feel more immersive if it works. If it’s too much of an inconvenience, I do foresee a rollback in a later patch.Here’s hoping for good things
Called it. Smh
They distinctly are making something cool yet people want to kick and scream for crusty old flying. It doesn’t work for other mounts as they cannot Dragon Ride and are NOT designed for it. Dragon Riding is so cool and refreshing as a mechanic. Swooping around like the cinematic and building crazy speed will make it feel so much more immersive than” herp derp i hab wings too” regular flying.The wishful sabotaging of things this community continues as always and it sucks. They spend all this time making stuff and the lot of people here just cause mischief just because it isn’t their way.
Just watched an interview between Ion and Hazelnuttygames, he said we are still going to be able to use regular mounts in the zones.
I will be interested to see how this plays. I am slightly concerned that it's going to cause me personally motion sickness problems, and I hope I am wrong.
I love it how people are already ripping the system before they even have tried it. Must be malding FFXIV andies.WIth over a MILLION + customization options for your dragon i doubt anyone playing the game will mind this.
This seems like a fun system. I'm glad Blizzard is willing to experiment with things like this. Flying always turns the world into a dead place where you only ever see players in cities, world quest areas, raids, and lately in swarming whatever rare just popped in ZM. Also pretty happy to see mad druids. Never fails that I'll be fighting the mob on some gather quest item or gathering node and one of them swoops in, loots it in flight form, and leaves with out helping. That said, I do hope they extend this to regular mounts in the future because I don't want to be riding only one mount for the entire xpac. I could probably live with it if they added very prominent new shapes, colors, fancy bardings, pennants, and so on to let people identify the prestigious mounts easily.
No conventional flying, and all your fliers are effectively ground mounts? Oh sure, can't see how that'll bite Blizz in the ass!I feel like they're putting all their eggs into one very stupid basket with this new system. Either that, or they're just out to spite the playerbase in every way possible. New race locked to one class, gimmicky flying instead of just being able to fly, can't wait to see what else they'll come up with.
"Here, you have flying unlocked from the start. But only for selected mounts.""Here, we give you hundreds of toys. But some can only be used on certain continents with arbitrary cooldowns and durations.""Here, we give you cool (Bfa) armor. You can use it on azeroth and argus but not in shadowlands because SL isnt connected to azeroth."I cant take these people serious. They ruin the game and its been evident for a long time they do it intentionally.
but...blanchy...:(
