Blizzard Working on Dragonriding in Old Zones, But It's Not Coming in Patch 10.1.5

Recommended Posts

67176-official-preview-of-dragonriding-i

Blizzard confirmed they're working on implementing full Dragonriding in old zones, but it won't go live in Patch 10.1.5.

The latest datamining findings suggest we'll be able to pick our preferred flight style in Patch 10.1.5.

The old flying system as it works now is called "Static Flight Style" while Dragonriding is being referred to as "Dynamic Flight Style".

In Patch 10.1.5, Dragonriding will be enabled in Kalimdor, most likely for testing purposes to sort all bugs out before the feature is fully implemented.

The old zones were never designed for Dragonriding, so they need to raise the ceiling and iron out all the bugs before the feature is fully rolled out on live servers.

Good day dragonriders,

As data-miners have guessed, we are indeed working on dragonriding outside of the Dragon Isles and broadening the set of mounts that can dragonride. Our initial work on this can be seen in the Fractures in Time game files, but that feature will not be complete or featured in the live game until later in Dragonflight.

As we continue to develop the game in this way, we expect there to be many examples in the future of content that is a work-in-progress becoming visible to data-miners in test environments. We intend to announce the contents of any given patch in our official posts about that patch.

For the latest details on what’s included in Fracture in Time, please check out our official development notes.

Hope I can switch to static on the fly (no pun intended) - to hover somewhere or fly while I afk.

It might be a toggle available only on capitals.

I wonder how they are going to adjust other mounts, if it all. Dragon animations and abilities don't fit them. What about dragonriding glyphs? They probably need to restrict them to Dragon Isles, because it's going to look rather weird later on to go back to this content in order to be able to fly on other continents.

I imagine they will likely not address this issue until pre patch for next xpac, or even in the next Xpac. As of right now people are going to be playing in the Dragon Isles until the next Xpac, so it isn't necessary to address it, when they do the simplest and most obvious choice is to just give the more common perks and abilities to all minus the flight specific talents like 'Bronze Timelock'.  They could also almost force people into doing it who don't already have the Chromie 'pick your expansion' unlocked (so new players only who have yet to get to current content) they can earn them while they are forced to do Dragonflight anyway and get the perks unlocked for free after reaching level 70 (assuming there is no level squish) ... ... however I think that will be unlikely and the who dragon perks thing will become a legacy system that is no longer used.

      The third week of Dragonflight Season 3 is upon us and here is the current Mythic+ tier list.
      DISCLAIMER
      The following post is based on data from U.GG. Therefore, the data presented here may differ from Petko's Mythic Tier Lists maintained on our site.
      How the Data is Calculated
      U.gg's tier list is created by evaluating damage and healing scores from the very best players and factoring in the frequency of each spec's appearances in the highest rankings of the current Mythic+ season. The tier list of each spec is determined by its effectiveness and prevalence at the highest levels of Mythic+ play.

      S-Tier Mistweaver Monk (up from A-Tier) A-Tier: Discipline Priest (down from S-Tier) Restoration Shaman (up from B-Tier) Holy Paladin B-Tier: Holy Priest (down from A-Tier) Preservation Evoker C-Tier: Restoration Druid

      Amirdrassil has been added to the Dragon Isles and world map as a proper zone in Patch 10.2.5.
      Currently on live servers you must defeat Fyrakk to see Amirdrassil without having to visit the Emerald Dream. However, the zone will be available to everyone regardless of whether or not you've downed Fyrakk in Patch 10.2.5.
      Here is the updated world map in Patch 10.2.5.

      As you can see, the Dragon Isles outline now includes Amirdrassil.

      The Dragon Isles continent map has also been updated to include Amirdrassil.

      Finally, here's the new zone map. It's basically the central portion of the Emerald Dream map. Emerald Dream's still accessible through the Ancient Bough portal.

      Here's a detailed preview of Bel'ameth, the new Night Elf capital coming in Patch 10.2.5.
      Obviously, this week's 10.2.5 PTR build only brought the very first unfinished iteration of the Night Elf city, but we can already see some familiar names of NPCs from Teldrassil.
      You can watch MrGM's latest video to explore the new city in more detail.

      Catalyst charges will be granted weekly in Patch 10.2.5. Currently, on live servers, you gain 1 charge every two weeks.
      Blizzard is increasing the frequency at which you gain Renascent charges in Patch 10.2.5. You will receive 1 charge automatically every week instead of every two weeks.

      REVIVAL CATALYST Renascent Dream charges are now granted weekly (was every other week).
