Good News: World of Warcraft Dragonflight’s Dragonriding is Staying

In a delightful announcement, World of Warcraft has confirmed that one of Dragonflight’s most beloved features is here to stay.

While the community anticipated its longevity, players are overjoyed to receive official confirmation of its permanence.

About the Dragonriding Feature

Dragonflight brought significant changes to World of Warcraft, including Talent Trees, a customizable UI, and alterations to the crafting system.

Among the many exciting additions, Dragonriding stood out as a fan favorite. This dynamic, physics-based flying system captured the imaginations of players as they soared through the skies of the Dragon Isles.

Now, loyal fans of World of Warcraft can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Dragonriding will continue to be an integral part of the game.

Blizzard is actively exploring ways to incorporate this thrilling flying system into other areas of the game and plans to maintain it in future expansions.

While Patch 10.1.5 won’t deliver the complete Dragonriding experience, World of Warcraft aims to implement it before the culmination of the Dragonflight saga fully.

Patch 10.1.5 Notes

Nevertheless, Patch 10.1.5 will provide a tantalizing taste of global Dragonriding. The highlight of the update is the Kalimdor Cup, a series of 16 exhilarating Dragonriding races across the vast zones of Kalimdor. Just like the races in Dragonflight, the Kalimdor Cup will offer Normal, Advanced, and Reverse variations, accompanied by achievements and unique rewards.

While Dragonriding will be accessible during these races, it will not be active elsewhere on Kalimdor until the entire system is integrated.

Blizzard is already hard at work expanding the selection of mounts compatible with Dragonriding. Countless ordinary flying mounts in World of Warcraft have received new tags and animations, hinting at their future compatibility with Dragonriding.

While most of these mounts currently share skeletons with the Dragonriding mounts in Dragonflight, World of Warcraft intends to enable dynamic flying for other majestic creatures like gryphons and wyverns.

Mixed Opinions

While the majority of World of Warcraft enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the widespread availability of Dragonriding, some players still prefer the traditional form of flying.

Fortunately, data miners have uncovered abilities suggesting that flying mounts will have the option to toggle between normal flying and Dragonriding.

The exact specifics will be unveiled during Blizzard’s testing phase on the Public Test Realm (given that they don’t break the game again). Rest assured, World of Warcraft players will soon be free to explore the boundless skies of Azeroth and beyond in their preferred style once Dragonriding transcends the Dragon Isles completely.
