Dragonriding Features in WoW Patch 10.2.5
If this change were not exciting enough, more updates to Dragonriding arecoming toWorld of Warcraftsooner than players think. The feature is becoming Dynamic Flying inThe War Within, and will be expanded to most other flying mounts. Dragonriding traits and abilities will also be baked into Dynamic Flying, with characters no longer being required to collect and spend glyphs. Players can look forward to Dynamic Flying as a part ofThe War Withinpre-patch, currently scheduled for early summer.
The War Withinis also makingDragonflightthe default leveling experience for new players. Given the size of the Dragon Isles, and the fact that fans unlock Dragonriding early in the campaign, many players theorize Dragonriding may be unlocked as early as level 30 or even 10 once the expansion goes live. Fans won’t know for sureuntilThe War Withinlaunch comes closer, but it seems like traversing Azeroth will never be the same again either way.
