Flying Available at Level 25 in Shadowlands

Recommended Posts

ZNBYLFb.jpg

You will unlock your 60% mount at level 10 and flying at level 25 in Shadowlands.

Shadowlands comes with a level squish and all characters that currently have level 120 will be scaled down to level 50 once the expansion pre-patch goes live. With that in mind, Blizzard made adjustments to levels required to unlock mounts and flying.

New characters will unlock their first mount when they finish Exile's Reach. 150% flying is available at level 25.

If flying is still gonna cost thousands of gold, they better significantly increase the reward payout from quests, otherwise people who want to get fast flying as soon as possible are not gonna bother trying out the new leveling system at all.

What difference will it make, the only people that get a choice not to do the new area is new players, all of us older ones will have the gold we can just send to our alts.

So did they do away with the stupid pathfinder achievement requirement to fly?

Read my post.   What they actually mean (I think) is that when you're levelling you can get flying at 25.     Still probably restricted in the new content though for the "awesome" pathfinder bs

Any idea of what will happen for older content: Draenor, Legion, BFA?

If Blizzard says, "Fine, it's an old expansion and everyone can fly there in those three areas now", it will anger those who spent months grinding it out.

If they keep it AS IS and force people to complete it for their Pathfinders, those saying flying should be available in old content will start screaming for blood again.

Truly, I can see both arguments as valid actually; I've done my own share of cursing after having completed WoD, returned and completed BfA, and almost completed Legion.  I've HATED every moment of it, and even now, I still think it is time-wasting BS used to maintain longer subscription time.  So yeah, I admit, I'd be frustrated too if Blizzard just gave it out free to everyone after Shadowlands is released considering how much so many have struggled for it.

The whole "WILL THEY OR WON'T THEY?" just leaves me curious as to what those prowling about the data network in Shadowlands have uncovered.

We don't know yet, and quite frankly, Draenor Pathfinder should have been removed a long time ago now that we're two expansion away from  WoD and the same goes for Legion zones. With Blizzard normalizing the levelling experience, it would make sense to grant everyone Draenor and Legion flying. I, for one, wouldn't touch any of those expansions without flying when there's Pandaria where you can fly by default. They did remove the Exalted rep requirement for Allied Races, however, (gating them behind old content is somewhat obsolete) and my hopes are they will be doing the same with flying, since unlocking it is tedious and literally to no avail. Why spending several weeks to unlock Draenor flying when you never go back in the Shadowlands expansion?

Exactly, unless you're a masochist and pick those areas for leveling alts. ?  I got Pathfinder for Draenor years ago before the long break.  When I returned, I was grinding Legion, but the terrain made me curse to the degree that the devil found me offensive!  LOL!  I did BfA because it was more prominent.  Now, I'm just finishing Legion because I've nothing better to do really.  But I hope you're right; I hope they see the logic and give flying to the expacs leading up to BfA.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
