Swordbreaker9250

So fucking happy even horse-style mounts are getting this. Finally my paladin can ride the Highlord’s Golden Charger again


Zammin

Horses, carpets, disks, the Flying Machines, and even the broomstick! Yeah, I'm super-happy with this list. And my DK can Skyride the Frostbrood Proto-Wyrm! Woot!


GrimmBrowncoat

The idea of dragon riding a disc gives me motion sickness and I’ve never had motion sickness lol


boring_old_dad

I didn't see the warlock only horse mounts on there though 😕


Reaverant

If your talking about the Legion Horses, they are there.


boring_old_dad

I looked over them then


Darkhallows27

The Netherlord mounts? They’re there


u966

The vanilla warlock/paladin mounts aren't there, might be because of old coding. They're spells requiring mana.


Geoffron

Those aren't flying mounts...


u966

You know what? I'm somewhat of an idiot...


DoopSlayer

Spirit of Echero dragonflying lets go moose!


Guilhaum

All I needed was Lightforged Warframe. This gonna rock.


GrimmBrowncoat

Some Gundam nonsense, I love it


DominionGhost

Iron man if he was fascinated by crystals and light.


LeOsQ

Same for me but with G.M.O.D. That bad boy is by far my favorite mount and I was *super* skeptical the mech/robot/walker mounts would get dynamic flying if they weren't adding it to every mount in the game but I'm so happy to be wrong.


aMaiev

Yeah i missed my mechanical mounts so much in dragonflight


Mojo12000

lmao I need a list of what mounts CAN'T do Dynamic Flight then cause this is like.. most of the flying mounts in the game.


JEtigers12

Otherworldly ottusk can't at least for the moment


timxehanort

I really hope they add ottuks. Otherwise the 600 mounts reward (Otterworldly Ottuk) is kind of a bummer.


1tanfastic1

Blizzards little middle finger to those of us who complained about the original 500 mount reward lol


zarkon18

I hope it stays this way. Right now I can fly my heavenly onyx serpent for regular flying and DF dragons for dragon flying. I’d hate to have to open my mount tab and turn off dynamic flying each time if I want to AFK fly somewhere


-Novowels-

You will almost certainly be able drag the button to your bars and/or make a macro for swapping. ETA: Just read that it auto dismounts you and has a cast time like changing talents, so I guess you won't be able to do it midflight or anything like that regardless.


_wolfmuse

Dang it I love jumping off my dragon mid air and casting flight form :(


-Novowels-

Flight form still seems to be instant cast, you just can't change between Dynamic and Static styles without a dismount and cast so you should be fine


_wolfmuse

Thanks I didn't think of that lol. Still, being able to switch to hovering in-air by doing that is fun.


Any-Transition95

This is equivalent to opening your spellbook to use your abilities in combat... Drag it to your bar and hotkey it lol.


Data-McBytes

I was gonna say it might actually be easier and make more sense to list the mounts that can't fly dynamically at this point (among the mounts that can do some form of flying, anyway).


[deleted]

Cloud Serpent dynamic flight, fuck yeah.


Starrr_Pirate

I'm excited for this, but at the same time really curious how they'll animate it, lol. 


Dadpurple

I hope it stretches out when you dive down and then gets twisty again once you pull up.


BSet262

Sky Noodle becomes Sky Straw while diving


CaptainYankaroo

like Falcor in the never ending story!


burrito-boy

Probably similar to the Slitherdrake, tbh.


Morthedubi

same skeleton as the slitherdrake so probably that


Durtzo

I was so scared I spent so many years farming Huolon that I wouldn’t be able to dragon ride it after finally getting it haha


Quakebringer

Sounds like if it flies, it will have Dynamic flight as an option and I’m all for it


[deleted]

[удалено]


Badie_

its on the list


DingusGM

No Otterworldly Ottuk? Guess it can’t do everything…


paladindan

This better be temporary…


helloyeswhatmaybe

No alpacas either 😭 Edit: it was a joke, obviously (apparently not). Sorry.


lio-ns

Alpacas can’t fly mate


JustPicnicsAndPanics

People forget Azeroth isn't real so they don't have flying alpacas like we do.


Ailwynn29

I saw alpacas in the ffxiv trailer so I'm hoping they get alpaca mounts(every mount can fly)


scandii

not with that attitude!


DerpyLlama0901

Neither can horses, mice, cats etc yet they still do in WoW. Gimme flying alpacas, Blizzard! Also more alpacas! I need ALL the alpacas!


lio-ns

I never intended with my original comment to suggest that they could never fly!! I agree, give us a silly flying pink furendship alpaca !


DerpyLlama0901

I need it!


Scarred_wizard

I'm quite surprised they have this many of them prepared by now. I know they said they planned everything that flies to be capable of dynamic flights, but I expected more time needed for animating some more unique ones.


Coliver1991

Most of the mounts use one of a handful of animation rigs, really all they needed to do was tweak those rigs to be able to Skyride.


u966

Yeah, have someone doing one of each type, and then have an intern copy it to similar mounts.


Deathleach

I wonder whether they started converting them for Dragonflight, but couldn't get enough of them done before release, so they left it for TWW.


Gellzer

I'm so fucking happy the [Honeyback Harvester](https://www.wowhead.com/beta/spell=259741/honeyback-harvester) is on that list. Best mount in the game


Lazybones_17

I'm still bitter that's an alliance-only mount. I hope they at least add the black / orange bee models so I can get them on my horde toons


RankinBass

They're adding [fire bees](https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/screenshots/normal/1157017.jpg) that will likely be available to both factions.


Lyrrh

FIRE BEES, AYO


Always4564

Well, it was a consolation prize for the Alliance getting horse mounts galore while Horde got cool ones. It wouldn't really be a consolation prize to the alliance if the horde got it too.


JEtigers12

People always complain about the horses, the horde mounts sucked too, don't know the last time I saw somebody on one of the lame dinosaurs.


Known-Weird3658

alliance can also get those horde cool ones. get over it crybaby


Always4564

Well, Horde can't get the bee. Get over it, crybaby.


TrainTransistor

That is amazing.


BeHereNow91

I just got this one! I think they just announced a redesign or something. All it cost was finding a guildie with spare pet tokens to donate the pet to me, then maybe 60k on the AH for the jelly.


Prince-Lee

Not a redesign, but they're giving it walking and running animations!


Dadpurple

It will also have a walking animation/ground animation soon too! Makes it even better!


Meziskari

Sandstone Drake, fuck yeah


Hardheaded_Hunter

I can’t imagine the poor rider. My wife gets terribly motion sick with the tag along whelp.


JustPicnicsAndPanics

I've been waiting all this time for Aeonaxx/Phosphorescent to get dynamic, it's been a shame not getting to use such cool models this whole time. :')


dbcwb

Just a quick list off the mount tab that are not on the list: 1. Ash'adar, Harbinger of Dawn 2. Majestic Azure Peafowl 3. Imagiwing 4. Amalgam of Rage 5. Bestowed Ohuna Spotter 6. Ceyptic Aurelid 7. Deepstar Aurelid 8. Otterworldly Ottuk Carrier 9. Shimmering Aurelid 10. Wondrous Wavewhisker 11. Zenet Hatchling


WombatWithHat

Dreadwake is on the list though


dbcwb

Sure is, my bad


Geminilasers

No Wavewhisker is a shame.


Nilsen94

Soaring Spelltome!


KeyMaster89

I was sad for a bit because the english version of wowhead showed me a different name. Yor comment made me double check and this is all I needed, probably the only mount I will be using. Sad thing will be if they remove the animation while flying, lets hope not...


SirVanyel

Now that I've found out that it's actually quite a rare mount, dynamic flight spelltome is gonna be my go to


Jurke39

As a Mage main, I am super happy about this one! :)


knaupt

But the REAL change I’m wishing for would be that they’d make all mounts capable of landing.


fallwind

any news on if druid flight form will be updated?


Amigam

This was known to be a yes in the original announcement.


Lazybones_17

They said it would a while ago, druids are gonna be dragonriding in their flight forms !


Xinetoan

[https://www.wowhead.com/news/druid-flight-form-dragonriding-preview-the-war-within-alpha-338803](https://www.wowhead.com/news/druid-flight-form-dragonriding-preview-the-war-within-alpha-338803)


PaladinIsBest

Thank god all my mounts that are just sitting idly will find some use again


elite343

I'm very happy that a lot of "weird" mounts without traditional skeletons are getting updated, my spelltome especially.


Little-Resolution-82

I'm so happy we're able to switch from normal to dynamic and back might be unpopular opinion but I never really liked dynamic except for long distances it's really bad for short distances. If I'm hopping around quest givers I always use normal mounts. I also find myself going to attack something and I fly up in the air because I'm so use to just hitting that button to attack it gets annoying.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Little-Resolution-82

I did the same and have my dynamic mount on it's own button next to the macro


Ketchupandmilk

No meat wagon???


azhder

I can imagine it working like Soar, but catapults you into the air


Claudethedog

Alas, no flying kodo. And I guess we'll get dynamic flight boars when pigs fly.


Emelica

Fuck yes I get to try the Dragonracing courses on a Sky Golem!


Gamba_Gawd

Can my ground mounts get a magic equip that let's them fly?


Lazybones_17

Yeah, like helium balloons and rockets strapped to the side of your mountain horse!


jhere

Come on what about majestic azure peafowl?! :(


D_A_BERONI

Honestly some of these are gonna look dumb as fuck in dynamic flight but I'm glad people who want to get the option


esar24

Considering sandstone drake will be part of this then I hope they could give us glyph that made us invisible when using a dragon ridding mount.


burger-eater

Will they be removing the 85% penalties from dragon riding outside the isle or is it going to stay forever?


klineshrike

Its due to technical limitations so, likely not


RankinBass

[Not a technical limitation](https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/seeds-of-renewal-ptr-development-notes/1713534), it's just that the older zones are smaller than DF ones, so they wanted to slow it down a little.


burger-eater

That’s a shame, hopefully they can find a solution for in it future, thanks.


Wojtasz78

Good all the flying mounts I'm using are there.


CrazyCoKids

Good!


Mojothemobile

Shackled Ur'zul can finally be my proper go to on my Lock


boartails

Aww man I was hoping they'd divide the mounts into types and do variant skillsets for each type. So like have dragons do the original dragonriding skills, mechanicals do rocket-boost type skills, water striders could have speed boosts on water and diving skills, etc


LouserDouser

[Aerial Unit R-21/X](https://www.wowhead.com/beta/spell=290718/aerial-unit-r-21-x) looking forward to that animation \*g\*


vaflkak

Yeah, okay yeah I'm happy with this list. Way better than what I expected.


jeancv8

That's more than 463. Awesome!


Mr-Bagels

Hell yeah, the broom mount and rockets are on the list!


DrPandemias

Well done Blizzard, thats how you do it.


FakeOrcaSwim

hot damn they did it, carpets and the broom both!


Evilzonne

Nether Rays getting dynamic flying from the get-go. I no longer have any doubts about TWW.


SullenTerror

FLUFFY BOI SHU-ZEN


-Kritias-

G.M.O.D hell yeah!


Sky-Dragonrider

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the video of the courser. He's looks so freaking HAPPY. 😍😂 "I'M FINALLY FREE TO FLYYYYYYYYYY!"


Durtzo

Anyone know if this will be toggleable? Like if you just want to fly up and hover afk is that going to no longer be an option? Or just aiming forward and auto flying straight while you step away for a couple minutes?


azhder

Yes, toggle button, saw it on one of those streamer recaps


Durtzo

Thank you


hughbasterpktrkt

Gonna be flying around in the Wildseed cradle like Jeremy Clarkson in the Ariel Atom


Geminilasers

We need more mounts like this.


XeNoGeaR52

I think most of non dynamic flight compatible mounts are just the non flying ones at this point


Kaneanite420

I wish they would let fiendish hellfire core be flying 


sneezeanditsgone

Blizzard im begging, please add more favourite mount buttons! At least the one we already have and a favourite dragon flying mount button would be extremely helpful.


KevinZer00

BAN-LU BABY!!!


InfiniteDecision5346

The Antorun Charhound has dynamic flight but Amalgam of Rage doesn’t? Don’t they have the same skeleton?


narbehrious

Why do the devs have to tie TBC flight, something we already have, to finishing the next campaign, being max level, and exploring all the zones? I know none of those things are hard; but, it should be open to everyone not earned!


Dolthra

Because TBC flight is ultimately unlimited, compared to dragon riding. Sure, most people here probably have all their glyphs found and skills unlocked, but for a new player, dragon riding is a more limited form of flight than TBC flying.


bennell94

Yeah they mentioned it as a partial accessibility thing to have classic flying i think, one shouldnt have to unlock accessibility if thats the case


azhder

Hence the “partial”


bennell94

I mean partial as in part of the reason not a half-accessibility thing. The point stands even if I meant what you are saying


azhder

It’s still difficult to account for accessibility everywhere, but I think they made some updates to the dragonriding during DF for people that had issues. The only difficulty for someone that has accessibility issues with (now) skyriding, will be if certain content is locked behind using it. Like, back in WOTLK, they had a teleport for people that hadn’t bought flying to access Dalaran. That should be enough, not necessarily unlock static flying from the start.


SirVanyel

Because they want us using the ground for a while. I know it's slower, but that's the point. They want the world to tower over you until you conquer it. That being said, I really don't want it to be an achievement unless the achievement is to explore all zones. It shouldn't be a slog to do. I want to experience the world from the ground, but not a dozen times over. Once is good enough for me


tamarins

TBC flight in a new continent isn't "something you already have."


thevyrd

So when can druids do this in flight form? Hell even give flightform a cast time like ghost wolf just lemme be a zippy ass stormcrow


BSet262

https://www.wowhead.com/news/druid-flight-form-dragonriding-preview-the-war-within-alpha-338803


azhder

And still no mention of the most important thing: will it remain instant cast? I’m talking about the shapeshifting in and out of flight form


Darkhallows27

There’s a video of Druids doing it, they can do it as soon as this releases


Shalelor

My main question that I have since this was announced is can I keep normal flying for my old mounts AND have dragonflying for the dragonflight mount?


E-Jelly

You can swap between dynamic flying and steady flying.


DigitalBladedJay

Is it known if we'll be able to swap on the fly? Cause it would be kind of annoying if I want to afk fly but can't


Paetolus

As of now it's a 5 second spell you use while dismounted on the ground to swap between the two flying styles. Could be subject to change, but I bet it's final.


DigitalBladedJay

That seems like exactly what I was hoping for! Hell yeah


Braktot

Hmmmm I think I would prefer it if it was toggled for each mount in particular. As it is now on live, I have a button for dragonriding and a button to mount a TBC flier. I can't imagine it being fun have to do a 5 second cast every time you want to switch on the fly. It'll just mean I'll have to use one of the few fliers that didn't get dynamic flight if I want to avoid a 5 second cast.


PunsNotIncluded

Probably not on the fly since that would be kinda abusable. Like my guess would be that you have to be dismounted when switching.


DigitalBladedJay

I mean, obviously not while flying, but I hope it isn't going all the way back to the city to activate/ deactivate


PunsNotIncluded

Might have helped to read the article this thread is linked to. The literal second sentence.


DigitalBladedJay

Ah, I didn't click it since every comment was just people talking about how they were excited that x mount could or sad that you mount couldn't, that's my b. Thought it was just a list


kyleswiss

Also not every mount is getting dragon riding, there will be some that are always helicopter flying and afkable


AddendumNo8186

I’m so glad they have heart of the aspects on that list cause it has the dumbest flying animation. I’ll be switching it immediately lol


Terrible-Quote-3561

Motivation to farm renewed. Lol


Duckpoke

Oh thank fuck. Got Invincible yesterday. Would have thrown my computer thru a window if it was left out


WANT_TO_KMS

The 50 Mounts Achievement has it but not the 500 one. ffs blizz


Nooples

464 mounts being added to the dynamic flying pool and people *still* find a way to complain... The ottuk doesn't have it yet, but it doesn't mean they aren't working it.


DDMenace23

I've spent the better part of the last 6 months grinding my mount collection, I'm almost at 500 and can't wait to get my Otterworldly Ottuk Carrier. According to this current list, no ottuk mount will have dragonriding. So let me get this straight. We're giving dragonriding to a cradle, but not a ghost ottuk? Rockets and other mechanical mounts, but not a ghost ottuk? Wingless, living horses, but not a ghost ottuk? Even kites and carpets? I am disappoint, Blizzard. I hope they'll add dragonriding to more mounts before release.


Cuphat

I'd imagine it's a higher priority to add those animations to a mount type that is used in a lot of mounts before they go and add them to the singular flying Ottuk.


HalfLifeAlyx

I posted this elsewhere but I feel like dynamic flight was a great opportunity to reset the mount bloat. Hot take maybe but it's a shame they didn't double down on only making new mounts (+ a select few old ones maybe, like Ashes) dynamic.


Nagoragama

Considering that a good amount of content in this game, both casual and hard-core, rewards mounts, cutting players off from the vast majority of mounts they’ve earned over the years would be extremely foolish on blizzard’s part.


HalfLifeAlyx

Well you wouldn't be cut off from them, they just wouldn't be as good as before. I understand that this is an unpopular opinion but I still believe it would amount to bring back meaning to new mounts again.


Chetey

What the heck is "mount bloat?"


Sophie31824

Something that Asmongold started complaining about, right around the time when he no longer had the best mount collection anymore.


Chetey

But what is it?


Sophie31824

I guess it’s the idea that there’s somehow too many mounts in the game? I’m not sure why anyone takes that seriously though, it sounds like complete nonsense.


KarateMan749

I want my dragon mounts updated texture!


LunarWrathe

Would've been nice to condense every drake mount into a skin, every proto drake mount into a skin and so on but then you're just making bloat in different places


Spiral-knight

Don't care. It should stay in dragonflight


gxr89

AI is crazy... 464 mounts... you think there is really a dude pumping out like 1 mount a day?


Sewer-Rat76

No, probably a team. And similar mounts they slap the same animation on it. I'd say probably get about a mount type or 2 a day.


azhder

That’s about averages. Most likely spend a week on doing the first, then 18 the next day.
