locking flying is stupid, lazy, and totally uncreative
Ok, so blizzard pretty much wants us to grind still. But instead of currency, it's achievements. However, I like achievements so I don't mind as much.
Will getting flying on one character unlock flying accountbound?
ty for the breakdown
What a wild ride it is watching this dev team decide what kind of game they want to make. "They have to do everything! / They have to do nothing!" lol
Love this. Also the time gate with storyline.
Wish they make this to every zone.
What patch did they remove most of the players from WoW?
My opinion is flying is an exploration tool. It's not content. So having it related to exploration type things makes way more sense. I think it makes a lot of sense to have a player put feet to pavement and it least see the land up close first. Then go ahead and just make it unlocked so they can use the tools already in their bag(flying mounts). Don't think it needs to be tied to the quest thing, but I imagine they are just trying to make the build up for mythic week more interesting by making those players join the rest of us on the ground until the big show.
Good change since they want to sell more mounts, a few weeks seems like a sweet spot for it
Every patch makes it feel like everything you've completed prior was a complete waste of time. It probably won't be worth playing the next expansion until the very last patch.
Was thrilled with this. Only 15 days basically, not a big deal at all.
This is much much better!
I never had an issue with the Pathfinder system. I liked it. Flying was a reward for the work I put in, not handed to me because people were whining about how much effort they had to put in.
like a storm wind that will ring the freedom bells for peace of mind
I would have loved if they put in the previous version, I do not and will not ever play the game again, but would have been hilarious to see them shooting themselves in the leg.
I do think it's much better now, but the story one still makes it shit because it's time gating still.
What I wanna know is why we have to earn Shadowlands flying, only for them to make flying impossible Korthia and make us unlock it again in Zerith Mortis.
THANK GOD!
as someone thats more into ff14 than wow now i was wondering when they would give up this really clunky time gate and grind heavy unlock system and its nice that they are moving in this direction. glad to see its more like ff14's flight unlocks where you do a little map hunt and some quests, its far more fun to wander and explore and quest rather than farm and wait.
and people want to say that "Blizzard doesnt listen"… more like Blizzard doesnt want to wade through shitpost after shitpost in the forums, and who can blame them?
is flying in 9.0-9.1 yet a thing?
If this is anything like Korthia most of this could be done in about a week or less.
I prefer this type of unlock compared to the previous iterations of Pathfinder.
good im losing all hope for blizz to change things around if they keep making the same mistakes
But I already can fly in Shadowlands, what the fuck is this bullshit…
honestly the change is good, but they shouldnt time gated into week 3… its stupid, if ppl want to grind it out complete all the achievement on day one, then they deserve to be flying on day one.
"There are already far too many barriers at end game…" Preach. Tried to get my brother to start WoW, he laughed at me.
We'll return when these are planned game design, and not emergency concessions.
good change, much more general player friendly. ffxiv has the same, in FFXIV flying is per zone and you just have to find wind currents to do it. means you can do it day 1 and all zones have a level requirement so that' the only gate.
I hate the current way to get flying I just recently started wow again not really a fun way
why do we need to unlock flying twice in one expansion to begin with?
Basically, "Pathfinder," again. I'm stoked.
in the next expansion Blizzard should let us unlock flying from day 1 i mean what's the point in unlocking flying right when i am done with the grind in those zones it kinda makes flying useless and a waste of time
Once again the people that been playing get screwed. So while I'm doing this stuff and waiting for the chapter one person can just wait 3 weeks come in hop on a dual mount and buzz around in 1 day with out dropping no sub fee or time. Wow nice one it feels really accomplished. Don't get me wrong I do like the way to do it. But I don't agree you want me to pony around for my life for 3 weeks while I watch some shmo come in that day and get the easy life. You might as well hand it out In a mail box.
Me no grind. Now me zug zug
Flying in BFA needs to be a free unlock at this point. That's why it skip its content.
I see no problem in makign the players interact the minimum with the new zone before giving flight. If I had spent months of my life building a map just to everyone instantly just fly over it I'd be pissed to say the least
This is great; perfect! Hopefully things to come under MS
I have an idea, let's log into 9.2 and have a npc standing there to give you everything. Then you can log back out and piss and moan on the forums while people wjo enjoy PLAYING the game having fun without the toxic man-babies.
I feel if you are paying a monthly sub fee you should just get it.. I do not mind it being behind exploration but i really wish if you are already paying for the game on a monthly or 6 month sub you should just naturally get it.
Just let us fly, does it really make sense that our mounts forget how to fly.
I can see them actively trying to ruin the game for Microsoft but they're so disconnected that they're accidently making it better lmao
I like the loremaster approach, but adding the entire bfa war campaign all the way through 8.3 was a bit too much just to fly in kul'trias and zandalar
Simply let us fly instantly. It is way more fun to explore the world from birds perspective…
they always came out with dumb grind and then removing it. always. what a shit show.
It's just night and day difference. Take notes for the future, this is how you make players happy! And a happy player will always play more and come back for more.
Sounds good after the system shock of this expansion.
Sounds like a nice change, still enjoy your channel, WoW not so much. Played PTR a bit and meh. Looking for a new MMORPG atm.
More and more of mmo being removed. Classic is the way
flying grind removed? great move blizzard! i love that i wasted my time unlocking it in 9.1.
Pathfinder has always sucked. Needing to get to level cap worked fine in the early expansions, and I still don't have flight in WoD, because who the fuck wants to play that much of a shit expansion just to fly in said shit expansion.
My poor flying mounts have been wingclipped so many times. Poor mounts, i feel so sorry for them. Wotlk was the only time it made sense, because they needed cold weather training.
