World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is HERE at last with its first alpha client, allowing us to at last get our hands on this new WoW expansion. And first thing’s first – I gotta get my hands on Dragon Riding over on the Dragon Isles. This feature, also called Dragon Flying, is one of the core things that Dragonflight is bringing to World of Warcraft, so naturally a lot of people are curious about it. Is Dragon Riding going to be fun for players, or will it be a worse version of GW2’s Dragon Flying ability?
In this video, Nixxiom takes a look at Dragon Riding from the World of Warcraft: Dragonflight alpha and shares his thoughts on his experiences with the feature so far in its limited capacity. Get ready for TONS of footage from the Dragon Isles, Dragon Riding, and even some teasers of the Evoker class – this video has it all!

I have plans to make a video on the Evoker class next, as well as sharing my entire adventure in the alpha so far in another video. Is there anything in particular you would guys would like to know about Dragonflight for future content? Let me know!
29 seconds in and I almost fell out of my chair lmao.
Problem this created, if they made flying actually fun.. it'll make general flying in wow itself boring across the rest of the game, and unless they carry dragon riding through going forward, that'll just annoy everyone.
Shit looks like it's gonna be annoying AF after I've seen everything
So.. can you use one of your 500 mounts that you have colleced over 18 years including 100+ flying ones in this new zone or does Blizz force you to use their mechanic because they have creaed it? Honestly what if you want to quest on foot to enjoy the size of the world? Why you have to zoomzoom on a dragon ignoring all the nice areas that you just fly over?
I'm honestly kinda hoping they'll add the dragon flying mechanic to other mounts, maybe even have different mechanics based on type, say them rockets, you got to actually launch it into the air to fly around and use like a parachute to help you land, the different VTOLs (Vertical Take Off and Landing, like helicopters) could be well… The same but you got to hover a bit before you can fly. VTOLs are much easier to fly than animals, rockets literally only stop when you decide to land or get off, and animals would be like the dragon flying already in the game. Nah, not happening, but one can dream, seriously though it makes me want a whole @$$ overhaul to mounts outright.
I've noticed all u do is boast about how great this expansion is. Right from the start.. character creation like wtf!! It's a lizard blizzard calls a dragon. Who the fuck wants that. But because u can color ur lizard in so many colors ur so happy how great it has turned out. Ur a joke/sell out. Stick to what's real the male models need to be able to look like a Juggernaut of dragons. Females and males are not in the same realm when it comes to appearance's. Right off rip this is a problem. And 2 where's all the fucking content? Flying holy shit this is your big release? Wtf is wrong with u..????? Talk about it's content shut the fk up about the flying.
My main concern with dragonflying is what they're doing to do with it after the expansion, if anything at all.
It seems good on its own but if they remove it then going through these zones will be miserable in the future, and if they keep it but don't use it after this xpac it'll be awkward to learn it only for these zones.
Skyward sword…
wait, this all is wrong, Alexstraza is not having the new outfit here…
wow players are geting a new (stolen) feature in years and acting like its wow reborn. its going to be pretty funny when they get bored of it in a month and realize its nothing much lol
wow dragon glying cant compare to gw2 gryphons check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu4eihJCIN8&t=117s
Flying through hoops is amazing content? Wow players are still stuck in the dark ages lol
"It's only alpha and I'm enjoying it" (I'm paraphrasing). The same was with Diablo Immortal. It was only alpha and already immensly enjoyable Diablo experience. Beta was supposed to be even better, right? Wrong. DI beta got worse and worse, and live is horrible with the whole P2W. Never underestimate Blizzard to screw things into the dirt.
This channel is like johntron, but actually funny
Just give up on trying to understand wow and how lore works… Like trying to understand why you level up in post wotlk war (cata) in a low level zone like westfall then later level through actual wotlk era content in northrend… good luck trying to understand that as a new player.
Letssss do the time warp agaaaaaain
Of course it's cool, they stole it from Guildwars 2.
That's blizzard for you, the Apple of MMO's.
No originality, just rehashed ideas.
So its just a simulator of falling down, not flying. Looks bad for me. For long term it will be fckn annoying.
Aion had flying since 2009.
Prediction: It's going to be cool for the first couple of patches and then people will start to hate it because they can't just autofly alt tab between world quests. The forums will be filled with people complaining about the "end game grind" (even though they're the ones choosing to grind) and then blizzard will forget about it next expansion and never touch it again.
well, at least you called it the right thing in the title heh
Basically land mount til end later which I hate so much. Let us buy flying again
nixxiom loves getting it with dragons. onyxia, now alexstraza
I like that you can appreciate stuff about this game even after so many years and see both the good and the bad in it, unlike other youtubers that only seem to shit on WoW mostly because they got bored and/or started to play some other game 😛 keep it up man! 😀
Shit flying
Have you tried Dragon Flying after the nerf and can maybe compare it to before?
Where on Azeroth is the island located?
Dragon riding sucks… Im sorry, i played gw2… its not good compared to that…
its gonna take wow years to get it into the position of being gw2 copy but its gonna happen because they dont understand how to develop mmorpgs themselves.
There is only so much dragonfucking…i mean dragonflying you can do…
It's just like gw2 gryphon and skyscale combined. But they have a hard bar to beat — gw2 has the best mounts of any game
Really? I thought it was a sucky gimmick that's only really interesting if you have height to jump off of
This video implies that you haven't tried GW2's other mounts. I genuinely recommend spending some time on the game – not only is it a fun MMO, the mounts are without a doubt something you'll ask yourself why WoW didn't copy earlier.
Dude🥲
I'm going to guess it's going to be fun for the first 15 or so minutes and then it will become tedious when you need to do it reach something else, definitely feel like an another borrowed power kinda system
So did they not release the mechromancer class (or whatever it was called) then? did we get dragon twinx instead?
they should allow demon hunters to do the same flying like the dracthyr
I'm hopeing that they find a way to make dragon riding, and future flying mechanics a social experience. Especially since they can't ever take flying away at this point. Maybe flught lanes that give you a slight speed boost, thus making players follow these flying highways. idk.
The MSFS player in me. “Yes, those are the very basic flight concepts.” The rest of me… too busy laughing at the intro.
its quite fun they stole the idea from Guild Wars 2
another gimmick that will be abandoned next expansion
I 100% want to dragon ride in Westfall!
If anyone comes to this video late, just know that there is a way to level up your dragon riding. There's a quest when you first get it as part of the tutorial that tells you about dragon riding glyphs scattered around the world and the talents that go with them. The talents unlock things like adding extra little gem things (vigor) or increasing the recharge rate Ect. At max rank you never need to touch the ground again.
Oh my! hahahaha Laughing out way too loud at that intro.
