    A bit over exaggeration. I've played like 7-8 years and haven't been dismounted that many times. And I bet that we've this 900 pages long thread, because almost everything is just repeating what has already been said earlier.

    You can't get the idea of "I'm playing the game while flying" into anti-fliers mind or... well, at least mine due the fact that we're thinking differently. Different opinions, different ideals, different goals for game development.

    I've given up with the idea of trying to influence others opinion - I'm just pointing out my point of view in the matter and trying to get Blizzard to develop the game into my favor, in the way which I enjoy more. I'd guess you're doing the same, who would try to make the game worse for themselves?

    A bit like in General discussion's "LFR topic", I simply posted that I'd want for LFR and 5-man heroics to co-exist and work as alternatives for each-other with each of them having their own purposes. Flying- and ground-mounts could also co-exist, but that again would need some hefty changes to not drive the other form of travel useless. 310% vs 100%, same distances between point A and B - how many would willingly choose the slower way? A few maybe, but majority would choose flying due the fact that it's faster and easier, nothing to dodge expect few tall mountains and no annoying hindrances on the "path".

    And then again, how many would be happy if Blizzard would take them into development table "Should we do this?".

    "Guess what, players, we're slowing your flying mounts down after seven years of flying."

    Because you're WRONG! I don't need to tell you why you're wrong, but you need to know that you're dead wrong on all accounts.
    Did you even bother to read his post? I don't need to explain why he's wrong when he says things like "uniformally hated" and makes up arbitrary percentages.

    It does not sound fun to me. People are going to freak when they realize flying is gone. Freak.

    Lol, almost no one comes to these forums and we have an almost 900 page thread. What will happen when general population figures it out.
    They already have FFS, most people know by now. And you keep saying flight paths take you out of the game like its true.

    Which, judging by what I've seen here, equates to everything but what you want. Fliers will always see the world as boring and tedious until it offers them gold or epics.

    There's nothing wrong with admitting to wanting your "fix" (rewards) in WoW. Just admit you want to skip content and get shiny trinkets without working for it. Because honestly, that's all I am seeing you guys wanting flight for.
    Hey if WoW gave me a instant type transportation to dang near every point of interest on the map like Skyrim does... I wouldn't have a problem with no flight. Problem is it doesn't

    So please stop this herp derp you just want the rewards and no challenge. It has been responded to and you continuing with it is just making you look illiterate or dumb.

    Flight is the only convenient and fast method of travel in WoW.

    As far as it not being a major feature. Well the box from BC and even I think Cata says you are wrong. The fact that every mount sold at the Blizzstore says you are wrong.

    I have made a couple of flight path threads. Almost no one stays in game during flight paths. Real immersive.
    Pretty much.

    The anti fight crowd loves using the buzz word of immersion as a argument but when you bring up Flight paths and how they are nothing more then a reason to alt tab or take a shit they fall silent.

    Cause you are right while you are on your flying mount you at least are still in game or at the very least have it as a choice. On a flight path you got nothing to do but sit there.

    Well since the only "new" method of transportation being added to the game is Garrison hearth stone and I would bet it is going to have a very limited effect on how we traverse the world.

    The exact percentage we are being slowed down is 67.74% (estimated) that is assuming you have the 310% flying mount.

    Now of course you can get the stable for your garrsion increasing you mount speed to 120% (pretty much making that choice mandatory) in that case you are only being slowed down by 61.29%

    Now keep in mind these numbers are only reflective if both the ground mount and flying mount are moving in a straight line w/no obstructions. Beings that we know obstructions will exist it doesn't take rocket science to determine the speed we are being slowed down will be much higher.

    So although his number was not factual it was still accurate well within the margin of error. So my question to you is this why would you want travel time increased so much?

    Cause everything I have stated there is FACT.


    Quote Originally Posted by Ordinator View Post

    I wouldn't say it is wrong I would say it is a pretty safe assumption. I seriously doubt anyone gets to a flight path and is like OMG I can't wait to to do this over and over again.

    Quote Originally Posted by Ordinator View Post

    Oh I remember it quite well from the days of Vanilla. That shit happened more then enough even with out pulling dozens of mobs. Now since we are going back to ground mounts for the sake of those poor Blizzard Devs and suffering share holders of Activision we can expect it again. Except now WoD has even MORE mobs that stun and dismount.

    There seriously need to give every class a way to leave combat then IMO

    Quote Originally Posted by Ordinator View Post

    It doesn't take much to come to that conclusion. WoW has a very casual player base. I find it very hard to believe that after a couple months w/out flight (the only convenient and fast method of travel in the game), that the casual majority will not demand flight be returned ASAP.

    Again only time will tell. If I am still on this board when that happens I will be happy to point that out to you and see what <cough> intelligent talking points spew forth from you and Mr. Sith Hamster (I will have to take him off ignore) then.

    Do you really expect anything more. It is rough for them cause they got nothing to back up their talking points but "Blizz says" and "Immersion".

    Wrong. Completed content that is well below our level is boring and tedious. Been there, done that.

    You keep attributing pro-flying with attributes that are false. This is fail and the usual tactic of forum trolls.

    It's not completed content, it's the world in which your content lays. God forbid you have to traverse the world in an open world game. What your looking for isn't what WoW is.

    We understand, but your lack of interest in the world isn't basis to skip it.


    Unfortunately you fliers are delusional beyond helping at this point. The only thing that may snap you out of it is when WoD launches and noone gives a crap about not flying. And when you realize how not hard it is to get around without flying mounts. You've gotten too cozy and you don't want to lose your luxury, that's all this is.

    Sadly , I think you're right. Many simply don't want to understand or can't.

    Hell, how many as of late still think pro-flyers want flying while leveling? Which simply isn't what we're debating for.

    If I want to play a game that didn't have flight, I'd be there. I like wow and it's ability to allow me to fly at max level when I'm done with the tedious leveling content and when I do grab a quest a max level, I'd like to get there sooner than later and under my own power vs AFK-flight paths and should I see soemthing along the way, stop in and take a look.

    Riding on the ground is just not interesting enough after 10 level and seeing the same crap over and over and dealing with blizzard amazing dismount mechanics from a level 90 while I'm level 100.

    It's not fun or entertaining. Flying at max level, farming mounts, collecting them running ops for them. That was fun. Even the "What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been" was amazing to accomplish and it took a year. Now blizzard wants to trash all that for an undetermined amount of time if not the entire expansions (depending on when they make up their "F"ing mind).

    No thank you. There are plenty of other games that seem to be working much harder for my cash than blizzard currently is and don't seem to be removing staple feature that have been in every expansion they have ever had (if they have had any) but I'm not supporting a game company for removal of those types of features thats for sure.

    and just like in vanilla. You'll deal with it because you have no choice but just like at the end of vanilla, going into TBC, you'll once again ask for flying just like the majority of gamers did and wanted. Don't believe me, check out TBC blizzcon.

    Flying - Probably the most requested feature ever (except dual spec and a dance studio).

    you are deluded and quite frankly borderline scary. We're talking about a video game not about middle east crisis or childrens dying of famine bcoz capitalism.

    Ummmm

    Transportation is a major feature of the game.

    Travel speed is going from a straight line at 310% to a curvy backwards who knows what path at 100% speed. 100% is 1/3 of 300%. Making it a reduction of 2/3 or 66% travel speed. I am not sure why you are having a hard time grasping this concept.

    Flight paths may not be hated, but one thing is for sure. Most people stop playing the game on a flight path and do something else like respond to your posts on mmo-champ. People stop playing while in a flight path because you lose all control of your player.

    People have precious little game time and do not want to needlessly spend it traveling at 100%. Make ground mounts 300% and I would be fine.

    This is a 900 page post. There have been 100s like it deleted on mmo champion alone. The forum audience is minuscule compared to the player base. Whether you like flying or hate flying there is a storm coming. As soon as people hit 100 and discover they are going to spend half their time traveling instead of playing.

    I have not read anything positive about traveling in beta. Players say it is slow and blizzard says it is not our intention for it to feel that way.

    No flying is the most epic nerf of all time. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

    I fail to understand peoples' obsession with no flying. Sure I do agree that you should remain grounded for the leveling process and what not, but when you hit max level what then? There is no reason for them to remove it from really any stand point. It is more harmful than helpful really... It removes what immersion WoW has and it is also even more time consuming.

    Well, you see - there are three camps:

    Blizzard defenders (white knights): Will defend blizzard's stance no matter what.

    Blizzard haters (douchebags): Will hate blizzard's stance no matter what.

    People who live in reality: Understand no flying until level 100 on draenor, but if it is just unavailable entirely - we realize that is a poor decision.

    Kind of hard to explain why removing convenience is the right thing to do. Especially, when we had flying on the same continent (outlands) but slightly smaller because that was post explosion.

    In no way did flying remove anything from the game in BC, but go ahead and explain why everyone should be inconvenienced and try not to make me laugh while you do it.

    I agree at least at the point where you say time consuming. Blizzard said they do not intend to make travel time consuming or tedious but have failed to mention (or show us in beta) how they are going to accomplish this.

    As far as immersion, that is completely subjective. While some may find riding around on ground mounts to be the pinnacle of immersion others don't. Personally I find siting on a flight path where the only thing I have to do is alt tab or walk away from my computer to heavily break immersion. I also find seeing winged mounts running around on the ground like wounded parrots to do much the same thing.

    Flight may not be the most epic edition to WoW but it is the first and really only original thing they have ever done. Pretty much all WoW does is grab concepts and ideas from other games and make them their own. Not that their is anything wrong with that, I think if WoW does have another expac Wildstar will be a game they will mimic much from.

    Now it regards to your post really what is the point, or do you just like being a asshole. He obviously enjoyed or enjoys the game and in entitled to his opinion, and that is what message boards are for. Pro tip if you don't like don't read it, also may want to avoid the Internets if you expect everyone to agree with you.

    You are acting as if flight is the only solution to this issue. It's up to Blizzard to make the obstacles between you and your goal more interesting at level 100. Whether they do or not is in the air, but that doesn't mean flight is the only answer. A lot of the people who want flight don't like flying because they think it's fun, they like it because they want their "fix" without having to work for it.

    No one responded to my suggestion about Diddy Kong Racing. If you like flight so much based on the game play of it, that's a game you'd enjoy more.

    Exactly my point, we have Gyphons, Rockets, Wyrvrens (excuse the spelling), and even drakes yet somehow they are all limited to the ground even though they have perfectly fine wings and had no problem carrying us into the air on Azeroth or outlands. Lore wise all of these things are flight capable yet can't fly on Draenor. Makes absolutely no sense.
