The Instance: World of Warcraft Podcast
The Instance: Welcome back, Champion

What was called dragon writing is now just called sky flight. You can turn that off or on. And what that does is it turns your flying mounts into the old school sort of hover and move style that existed prior to this expansion. And between that and sky flight, which lets you do the full dragon writing kind of mechanics, uh, I love this, that they put this in.

But maybe some people always didn't like, you know, they just don't like change. So they'd never like dragon flight or dragon flying and they would rather just float and do their way. I think that's great because now they have their thing. Good job, guys. You got it. I think that those of us who've embraced the mechanics of dragon flight, it's so much freaking fun to get around.

Yeah, or click the other one is if you click on your collection, like the little horseshoe. And up top of the horseshoe, there's a little tiny dropdown up there of a few things like this, like random mount, something, something. And then the flight switching is also there. So they tried to put it in a couple of places to make it convenient.

But once you have that, just stick it on a bar somewhere, have it off to the side. And I find myself toggling all the time. It takes a little bit of time, like you cast a spell to do it.

Yeah, you have to be on the ground to do it. And when you do it, it immediately changes it as soon as the spell's over. And then you can mount up again and you're to the other way.

So where I find this most useful is world quests in particular, where it would be a lot easier for me to see things from a bird's eye view where I'm not soaring all the time, where I just need to kind of helicopter hover. And so I'll toggle it on for those kind of quests. And when I'm done, I toggle it back and then soar across the continent and do it somewhere else.

The actual freedom of choice there is excellent. And I'm really glad they're doing that. Because it's one of my favorite new features of the game for a very long time. But I also think there is some value in giving people a choice, especially if they're used to doing a certain thing. So watch for that. You also have cross-realm guilds. We've been filling ours up pretty quick.

In fact, I think we kind of hit... Maximum already. I need Blizzard to take away, like back in 2010, the rumors at the time were that our guild was partly responsible for this, but they made guilds smaller. They put a cap of a thousand per guild. And it was because ours was like nine or 10,000. It was unwieldy and it was kind of hard to deal with for them.

I don't know why it was for them, but, but then how we handle data has maybe changed or whatever. My guess is this isn't a problem now. So I think they should drop the limit and we should be able to make a gigantic guild again without any problems.

instead of getting on it yeah all these separate guilds it's hard but cross realm guilds are happening that means that you are no longer limited to one server it also means you are no longer limited to one faction so if you've got some folks yeah on the alliance you want to bring into your guild you can do it this would have been dude this would have been like swearing in church about 10 years ago

Did that surprise you when they changed it? Because it shocked me. I was like, whoa.
