    woa try flying your dragon forward right now

    i know this works with the netherdrakes but im not sure with all dragons but now every time you fly forward your dragon stops flapping all together and just glides. if you fly any other direction or just staying still your guy flaps but the second you go forward you just glide

    Yup, same with proto-drakes.

    Also go to Icecrown where the frostwyrms are, theres about 6 of them that are bugged out and flying like 3x speed. Made me chuckle.

    Edit: Well flapping like 3x faster not really flying.

    I don't get this happening, but EVERY SINGLE TIME I use a cooldown on my rogue (that's AR, BF, Engineering tinkers, Berzerk, everything), I get instantly put on a Dragonmaw Nether Drake, with no cast time involved. It's freaking me the hell out. And REALLY annoying.

    I kinda wish I had this bug. Sounds pretty funny.

    OT, I haven't tried flying yet, but I used to bug out my mount to stand while flying. Nobody else sees it though.

    You should see after wiping in ICC and the speed of the ghost flying mount back. Half the time I came back as alive by the bluelady and the others I was lucky eough to be a Nightelf and get whisp. The others who had to fly back on the ghost mount would have been faster if they ran back in. Something is very wrong.

    Yes, but that's not what's happening. Both drakes and proto-drakes have a glide animation that will happen every now and then while flying, but now it's stuck like that so they're constantly gliding while moving forwards.

    This gliding has always happened even before the patch. If you made some type of movement before mounting it would do this and the drake would never flap. As for other issues.. Those seem wacky

    I kinda like it that way, you know, flying like an eagle. Hopefully this is an intended change and not a bug.

    Edit: To the person above me: Do you even read other posts? It is not the same bug.

    its a intended change. its like that on beta too and there was thread about it on the beta forum where a blue said its intended because some people are tired of the flap flap sound i think
