    Flight Path Oddities

    So... this has happened a few times now.

    When I took a flight path from Dalaran to Coldarra, I ended up in Amber Ledge. Bit odd, but I didn't see what happened as I was tabbed out. However, just now, I fly from Acherus to Thorium Point. When I land at Thorium Point, I'm speedily forced through three loading screens and end up in... Loch Modan.

    What the hell is going on, and how do I stop this?

    I fly to the tavern in the veiled stairs, it ports me to the one in front of it in four winds. I fly to shado pan place, it ports me back to the previous FP. They know the bugs there, its been there a while now, ina few places. They are too busy to fix it, or they'll say its an add on and its on our end.

    This exact thing happened to me, too. Took a taxi from Blasted Lands to Burning Steppes, 3x loading screens and landing two flight paths back from the original destination. I've opened a ticket, had a chat with GM, got served the usual 'it's your addons, delete WTF Cache Interface folders'. I won't do that, too much of a hassle really as I can live with this. I am curious about the epilogue, is it a bug or actually an addon messing things up.

    Yesterday I took a FP to dread wastes to prepare for raid but didn't feel like flying. As soon as I landed in the Klaxxi daily area I got a loading screen and was ported to the north section by the big tree (still in dread wastes thankfully). Glad to see I'm not the only one as I was a bit confused.

    I fail to see how any addons or anything on our computers could force a loading screen and teleport us. So I'd complain to the GM that their answer is stupid.

    Yup, this exact thing has happened to me a few times now. At first I thought I had clicked the wrong FP to fly to, but the last few times I've paid close attention to make sure I was picking the right one and still ended up one FP away. Not sure when it started happening, but I did my Shao-pan dailies before 5.1 and never had this issue then. So probably something got screwed up with 5.1.

    Same happened to me, flight from Blasted Lands to Brill, landed in Brill and popped up in Andorhal.

    Curious as to how opening a folder and hitting the delete button three times is too much of a hassle >.> doing that would take less time than re-flying to where you wanted in the first place.

    It's not the hassle of clicking, it's losing my addons settings. I've lived under the impression that I lose those, right? If there's more to that feel free to correct/enlighten me, I thank you in advance.

    It's effect of CRZ, as some changes to CRZ mechanics were made in 5.1 (as people could prolly notice from smaller lagspikes upon crossing CRZ borders). Pandaria has it inherently too.

    So when you cross CRZ border, your fly-path resets and you end up at first fly point in that CRZ zone/zones-cluster.

    Our characters are wearing the same pair of underwear, since like, Level 1. Damn that's unsanitary as hell.

    Yes you will lose all of your UI settings if you do that.

    You do realize that deleting your WTF folder resets every setting in the UI, including losing all of the settings to all of your addons, right? For many that is hours of adjustments.

    If it is, I'm kinda pissed. I'm on a high-pop PvP realm, and am getting irritated at people coming over just to gank me as I'm levelling, then to flee back to their own safe, dead server. I don't want CRZ, and if it's wasting my time and putting me in the wrong places, I'm really not happy.

    I've noticed this too.. Happy it's not just me..

    Also, since v5.1, load-bars tend to fill up 2, 3 or sometimes 4 times, when you HS, enter dungeons, corpse-run etc...

    Does it constantly happen or is it a one-time thing? If it's multiple occurrences, I'd send in a bug report.

    For me it's every single time I fly to Shado-pan Garrison, it ports me (with a quick loading screen too) to Ren-Sai Outpost.

    Known issue. I've been having it myself and gets rather annoying. I fly to the Shado-Pan daily area and get ported back one. So I decided to fly to the one I normally got ported back to. My shaman made it without issue. My druid ported back to another flight path. Had it happen with Iron Summit in Burning Steppes (ports me back to Thorium Point). Also had it when flying to Western Plaguelands. I got ported back to Arathi instead.

    I really hope this is fixed soon.

    Good bye all interface settings?


    Am I the only one that doesn't use flight point anymore?

    Yeah, I've noticed the loading bar thing as well. Kinda makes you wonder how this happened after what..7 years? I don't see why they would change anything related to these functions but meh, not really a huge deal.
