Flying is Coming Early in Patch 9.1!

Recommended Posts

35397-changes-to-flying-in-patch-735.jpg

Muffinus clarified that we won’t have to wait 7 weeks to reach Renown 59 to unlock flying in Patch 9.1. In fact, Memories of Sunless Skies Memories of Sunless Skies should become available from the next chapter following the hub unlocking in Korthia and that's next week on the PTR.

In an interview, Blizzard said that we'd need to complete the final chapter of the Covenant Campaign to unlock flying in Patch 9.1, so we checked out updated Renown rewards in the game's database and found out that the final chapter unlocked at Renown 59. With Renown increasing by 3 each week, it would take approximately 7 weeks to unlock flying, but this theory has been debunked.

clever of them to release flying early, but the new zones are in the maw, so you are getting nothing out. also, you can't fly from one zone to another 😄  f... y... blizzard 😄

They said each zone is spaced out that if you were to attempt normal flying between them, it'd take upwards of 30 min to travel to any zone.

7 week panic ensues... Muffinus jumps in to save the day!
Thanks a lot (again) Muffinus! 🙂 

Clear, concise communication prevents snafus like this. 😄 I'm glad they clarified it, and I still have stuff to do, so it's pretty much whatever. I think the thing that's making people grumpy is being drip-fed content. People are entitled to their opinions and feelings, though, and they're all valid. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's outright bunk is what it is. We've literally had Boomkins flap their way from Ardenweald to the Maw, Oribos, AND Ravendreth, and the maw took the longest to get to at close to 16 minutes to get to.

 

This is flapping mind you which is much, MUCH slower then flying.

 

If Maldraxxus and Bastion weren't situated at a higher altitude then Ardenweald we likely woulda had Boomkins flap their way to those zones too.

 

Just another case of Blizzard lying to player's faces.

it helps for leveling alts, considering that sometimes getting from one place to another in some zone is a hassle, so having flying for alts is great.

Why would I spend 10 minutes flying from Ardenweald to the Maw when I can make that in 2 minutes?

      War Within Alpha should be just around the corner! When do we expect the latest expansion testing to start?
      If you've been keeping an eye on the World of Warcraft 2024 roadmap, you're likely excited about what's coming up! According to the roadmap, the War Within Alpha is expected to kick off sometime after Patch 10.2.6, which was released two weeks ago, and before the beginning of Season 4.

      Typically, a season lasts 22 weeks. Right now, we're in the 20th week of Season 3, with just about two weeks left. Let's break down the hypothetical timeline:
      Season 3 Week 20: Week of March 26 Season 3 Week 21: Week of April 2 Season 3 Week 22: Week of April 9 Season 4 Week 1: Week of April 15 This schedule suggests that the War Within Alpha could potentially launch as early as next week or during the week of April 9.
      The most recent news from the War Within camp came on March 27, when Blizzard rolled out a fresh encrypted internal build on the WoW Dev CDN. The internal builds are becoming more and more frequent which indicates Blizzard's ramping up to start testing in the very near future.
      Placeholder for tweet 1772901807448052151 In the meantime, we encourage you to check out everything coming in the War Within pre-patch that will release 1 month before the actual expansion.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
