    Re: World of Warcraft

    I hope they implement Azeroth flight in the next expansion, Flying Mounts really aren't that useful right now, and that pisses me off considering how expensive the skills are and how hard some of us work for our flying mounts.

      Re: World of Warcraft

      They'd have to recode whole swaths of Azeroth for you to be able to fly on your own pathing through them. That or put a very low hard ceiling everywhere which would limit the usefulness.

      The problem is that there are parts of azeroth you can't get into, parts that don't go up high enough, and parts that house GM zones, that would all require additional coding.

      I'd settle for land mounts in Azeroth being able to move at 230% if you already have epic flying (Or just cut out the middleman and give us some basic teleportation ability at level 58)

          OH I know, it would just be a lot more convenient and easy for them to do versus rendering all of Azeroth in 3dspace.

            I'm aware of mounted combat being the thing of WotLK, that's why I said WotLK brought "little new things to the table" instead of "nothing at all".

              Why you will never be able to fly in Azeroth:



              The designers utilized line-of-sight tricks to make all the old maps. They do not work when you look down from above.

              Aside from the fact that zerging the faction leaders will become a joke when you can just fly in.

                  or a shaman with Far Sight

                  Which, by the way, I have finally found a use for! It's great in Arathi Basin. Pretty much no place else though.

                      That's not what he means. Moonglade is still a city, albeit a druid city.

                      ...With the other exception of Engineers (but who bothers with Engineering anymore?) who will get an item that lets them teleport around Northrend, but even then it's spotty. You randomly end up somewhere in one of five maps and can only use it once every 4 hours.

                      What Grandia means is that we will not be able to say "Oh I want to go to Felwood and I'm in Orgrimmar I'll just teleport there." You'll never be able to just teleport to exactly where you want to go. Currently, mages can only teleport to major cities (and Stonard). That makes sense, since Mages in those cities operate the teleporters.

                      This game will be Taxis and Mounts forever. If you need to get somewhere, take the flight point nearest to it and run, or run / fly on a mount the entire way. You have no other choice.

                          The only difference I've seen from switching to battle.net is the free pet.

                          Plus I never have authenticating issues.
