WoW (10.2.5) - Dragonriding in Eastern Kingdoms

[@kewlkid4845]

insanely fast but cool

[@RicksonGM]

This person is also very inefficient at dragonriding, you can maintain much higher speeds more consistently.

[@boskee]

@@RicksonGMThe point of this video wasn't to show the most efficient way of dragonriding, but to simply showcase how it works in the old world. But yes, you're absolutely correct, you can traverse much faster.

[@RicksonGM]

@@boskee Yep, I saw a lot of people complaing about it being capped at 80% speed but even then it's ridiculously fast

[@boskee]

@@RicksonGMRight? It's a joy to revisit the old content with Dragonriding.

[@citizenkane2836]

Is this available now?

[@holzmann8443]

You can turn off the goofy wind effects under accessibility settings. Specifically uncheck "speed effects" under the mount section, and check "enable photosensitivity mode" under general. Enjoy the lack of visual stress!

[@MrBartleby3004]

Idk I kinda like the wind effects but maybe I'm weird haha ..

[@JiAiJ0]

​@MrBartleby3004 Nah you're not weird, it's just not for everyone and that's okay. My ADHD brain loves em too but I know some people would def find it distracting

[@thy_darkest_doctor1924]

Is this actually out yet or on a test server? Cause I can't dragonride in old world yet.

[@boskee]

It's still on the PTR

[@MustardGamings]

Rather fly with my ashes of alar that took 12 years to get

[@boskee]

I'm fairly certain it will become a Dragonriding mount in 11.0 anyway

[@noshotz5955]

@@boskeeThey basically plan to have every mount being able to dragonride in 11.0.

[@boskee]

@@noshotz5955Not exactly every mount as plenty of them do not make any sense being Dragonride enabled, but they have stated they're converting 3-digit number of mounts to the new system. Probably anything that has wings.

[@noshotz5955]

@@boskee That's not entirely accurate, the interview with Anne Stickney & Tina Wang on wowhead says this "A final statement on mounts: Tina Wang: I did want to share that on the art side, we are planning that most if not all of the mounts that currently fly should be able to have dynamic flying by launch. That's our intent." So they want to have every mount that can currently fly to have dragonriding/dynamic flight, whether they get to all of them by launch, that's a different story.

@@noshotz5955I stand corrected - I didn't read that interview, my comment was based on one of the spoken interviews. Thanks for clarifying!
