WoW General Discussion

[Sadok]

Since the Shoutbox has been clogging up as of late with posts about 6.2 changes, new items and the like, figure it'd be easier for everyone to instead house it in a discussion thread.

Two topics to start discussion:

Flying in Draenor, starting in 6.2

Thanks to Vezara and Rashka for those two! Please discuss these topics plus anything else related to WoW the game here.

One thing I'll say about the flying meta is that I'll need to finally start doing those stupid, boring Apexis dailies. <.<

I have Loremaster, the treasures and most of Draenor explored, so those others aren't too bad.

[Okiba]

A terribly stupid idea from start to finish to allow flying in draenor now.

They are just buckling to a few loud, idiotic individuals who want to abuse it for pvp purposes. The whole of the expansions zones are about to get a lot more empty than they already are.

[Therak]

I don't like it either. But at least we're not on a pvp server now...

[Rashka]

I don't like it, simply because the world feels a whole lot smaller with flying mounts.

[Vezara]

I don't like it at all. It ruins immersion and the fun of exploring, and it makes people lazy. I'm glad that they're at least making it time consuming to be able to fly.. but overall I don't want them to add flying -at all-. :/ But It could've been worse imo.. they could've just made it like "pay 2k then you can fly! "

I'm reading the rage in the comments from people who go "FUCK YOU BLIZZARD THIS SUCKS JUST LET ME FLY!" And it is glorious.

[Umaua]

I am not surprised.

That flying kinda also kills the treasure hunting aspect of the expansion....then again, you pretty much have to know em already. Yet still...people whine about how they need flying and then they get it and get bored in a week and start whining of many things that flying just made ridiculously easy.

[Srelok]

Can I just be "that guy" for a sec...

We don't HAVE TO get flying. I know I won't be in any rush whatsoever to get it. Because, as people said, it's stupid. I liked my flightless Draenor.

[Lars]

Tbh, I see this as a huge F-you! from Blizz to the whining crowd. Since most of what I read was they HATE and DETEST doing all the shit they'll now be forced to do to fly unless they can fly.

[Bamm]

It is a shame, they didnt have the spine to stick with they're convictions and vision. I really enjoyed not flying. That was never the problem with WoD. The problem is less content compared to MoP, 5.1. 5.2 had masses of things to do and was far more engaging compared to WoD. I hate to sayit, but the problem with WoD is garrisons in my opinion.

Anyways I guess its time we all...
*puts on sunglasses*

Spoiler: show

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaah!

[Gashuk]

I'm personally more interested in this new Rylak Mount than actually flying on it!

[Umaua]

Well, I don't see how garrisons really ruin anything. Its just the same daily grind as you had with Isle of Thunder, only that its instanced where you return the quests. It'd be a whole different thing if all the missions would be in the garrison too.

And problem isn't flying really. Those people obsessed about it are people we don't care, mostly. I see the problem of Blizz acting like a coy hooker who you'll know will get on its knees if the PvP and PvE whiner kids just throw good enough tantrum.

Who are also the people who get it and then start whining again.

[Bamm]

I dont think garrisons really ruin anything apart from taking people out of the world, negating what no flying was meant to do in the first place. How many people just sit in them all day only porting to Warspear, Ashran then back again. What i mean is, they're just  not what people expected. No customization really lets be honest. And a clever mobile styled game with timed missions and resources though profitable isnt exactly exciting now. Maybe even without garrisons people would just sit in Warspear all day, who knows?

I just feel let down and disappointed with what WoD could have been and what it is. Some people seemed to have focused that disappointment into not so subtly or even slightly constructively criticizing the no flying descion, but that's just the internet and all its unbridled horror and angst

[Srelok]

Still hoping (against hope) that we'll be able to move our garrison. I REALLY wanted mine in Nagrand, Tanaan or Gorgrond.
