    IDK I think this would be disastrous. The Large scale of the zones and the verticality have to have meaning and purpose behind it and it can't just fall flat and then resort to unlocking regular flying.

    (It doesn't really matter, but it would probably make the large scale nature of the zones more miserable)

    I no longer reply to quotations beyond if you're asking a genuine question or have a non-confrontational stance.

    Oh I am not saying DF is doomed either. Just that celebrating that the team is getting larger at this stage is a bit silly.

    My understanding is that Dragonriding will be much faster than normal flight but you actually have to pay attention.

    It will probably be quite a bit faster when going downwards and quite a bit slower when going upwards.

    I assume that as you advance in the system you will be able to gain more and more lift with less descending since I expect we will have areas that are "locked" until higher dragonriding skill by having entrances at ever higher altitudes. So by the time you are fully advanced in the system you will be able to just zoom around with less effort. And ofc if it is designed well, skill in handling the mount will help out. Hey, there might even be booster cloud circles all over the place and hidden mechanics like that; maybe steam vents or updrafts

    Until the weak aura or addon is developed to get perfect timing/whatever. Who knows they may even develop an addon like tdBattlePetScript and have things automated. I am still a little shocked Blizzard hasn't nerfed the pet battles or other advanced things WA does.

    Probably, because these are pet battles. I don't think they will allow any automation of DFing, one of the big features of expansion.
    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    I don't think they ever blamed WoD on that but they did say it didn't help with development. Some of them weren't new hires though and just internal people that weren't up to speed on the latest WoW dev tools. Project Titan was cancelled in 2013 with WoD release in 2014. They put a lot of the new people on to Legion. I've also seen mention of a shift in focus during Alpha to have less focus on the Iron Horde.

    There were many things contributing to WoD that I think training new people is the least of the problems.

    As someone who is not into pet battles, I am surprised that botting for pet battles is essentially allowed.

    No

    It's not really botting as you a) have to write the script beforehand and b) have to press a button. Honestly, it's not really all that different to look up the strategy on the internet beforehand, writing it down and follow your cheat sheet.

    You also can't block incoming attacks/projectils with a normal mount, but you can with this special dragon mount.

    All botting requires you to write the code before hand. It is how the bot knows what to do. Blizzard has stated that bots that still require a key press is automation the only difference here is one would be third-party tools while TD uses the WoW engine. Even if you ignore the bot aspect Blizzard has broad authority under the cheating section to deem it as "not allowed" if they wanted to.

    Pet battles would be more annoying with out it and I do think they should officially implement a queue system. But letting it happen with addons gives them the ability to not have to officially support something. Besides I doubt an official UI would be better then rematch+TD anyways.

    Weirdly enough, PTR realms are currently down.

    For the first time in WoW's history, we will be testing our next expansion through the Public Test Realm client.

    Okay, well now we know you aren't a dev.

    Yes, I’m not a dev. Also, it was a joke to the PTR realms being down.

    That was exactly my thought, I mean: 20th Anniversary, Microsoft taking over, Spencer wanting to make WoW popular again, Blizzard hiring an entire studio maybe going more towards WoW based on Hight quote, and of course all the props and assets made since BFA with the most recent being the Human buildings.

    But who knows? I'm just hoping because it's the only thing that would make me excited for this game again.

    Btw, now this explains why they're pushing Dragonflight release this year, but I'll remain skeptical and worried until I see the Alpha/Beta.
