Guild Wars 2

Took so many screenshots of me flying over them vines!

I never thought I’d find it so much fun but it is amazing.

Glad to hear it.

They have actual flying in WoW, of course (even though, like the idiots they really can be, they tried to remove it…).

Kind of hard for me to get very excited about gliding, TBH.

I guess it’s better than nothing.

Gliding is so much better than flying in my opinion. Flying is just an easy way to get around. Gliding requires positioning, skill, and in HoT, resource management. Sure you can’t fly everywhere on a whim, but the challenge and the experimenting with “I wonder if I can make it all the way over there” is a much better experience.

I agree. Flying in WoW isn’t really a system at all, it’s just ground mounts that can travel in every direction. It’s more convenience than fun.

Because flying itself is just too OP, leaving everything else useless.

With gliding you can’t fly around at will, stay still in the air and just AFK and bypass ALL danger. With gliding you are always descending, and keeps you limited on how long you can stay in the air. You also level it, giving you progression with it.

Flying in WoW was a design mistake, giving you “GM” powers to swim around in the air at will with no consuequences. I can understand Blizzard trying to fix that problem.
