Hmm, the title for this Chapter is sort of fitting, given the temperature of the WoW community right now regarding some things. Things that ultimately will not affect FDWL or its characters, however! After all, they’re on Outland. Everything’s cool there.
I don’t know why, but I expected an… alien eye staring at me.
What do you mean re WoW community anger? I’m out of the loop…
Oh, it’s about the decision that 6.2 won’t have flying, and future expansions likely won’t either, as mentioned in this Polygon interview: https://www.polygon.com/2015/5/22/8645293/world-of-warcraft-no-flying-tanaan-jungle-warlords-of-draenor-mmo-pc-blizzard
I’m surprisingly OK with that. 🙂
I’m actually kind of disappointed in that. I mean, I can always take my drakes and my dragonhawk and… what? Fly laps around Dalaran? Idle in Org or SW like every other asshole who parks on the auction house or mailbox? *sigh*
“The world feels larger, feels more dangerous,” he says. “There’s more room for exploration, for secrets, for discovery and overall immersion in the world. At this point, we feel that outdoor gameplay in World of Warcraft is ultimately better without flying. We’re not going to be reintroducing the ability to fly in Draenor, and that’s kind of where we’re at going forward.” Yes, yes, absolutely, thank you. 🙂
5 Hours sunk into trying to play a platformer in the middle of the MMO to get to treasures and other trinkets on my map only to get frustrated and leave it until later when they lifted the no flying like they had every expac before hand.
I mean, I’m not saying otherwise, I suck at trying to just perfectly nail that one pixel to hit the rope off the tree and jump the birds without falling to go back to spending another 4 minutes just trying to get on the tree to hit the rope again MAYBE, and it was really disheartening.
And I’ll never get those boxes, cause I’ll never get to fly, and that’s okay. I just really would’ve liked to fly and see all that beauty from above, and get those shiny treasure boxes I lack the hand-eye-coordination to get as is xD
