Title: Epic Flight Form for Druids
Post by: Bob on February 07, 2007, 01:17:28 AM
I just say w00t :woot2:

Quote from: Ommra - Blizzard PosterWe have upcoming development plans which we wanted to share now, as it could impact choices that Druids might make in the immediate future regarding flying mount riding skills or purchasing epic mounts:

The regular Storm Crow form remains trainable at level 68 and moves at 60%. Also as previous, the normal flying mount skill comes with the form.

An epic quest line will be going into an upcoming patch which will grant Druids an additional flying form with increased stats. The epic flying form will move at the epic rate of 280%, but basically fall under the same conditions as the previous flight form (i.e. can't run on the ground).

However, the first prerequisite of the quest will require the epic flying mount riding skill, so it would not be a loss to Druids if they wish to purchase their epic flying mount skill now or in the near future. Obviously, one could then diversify their epic mounts beyond the Druid's casted epic form if they choose.

The "normal" flying mount skill we get for free through the flight form we get at level 68 (except for what it costs to learn the ability, which is not much). But as you can see from the blue post I quoted, we will have to buy the epic riding skill the same way as anybody else, so there is nothing there to save.

The only thing we don't have to pay for than, is the epic flying mount itself (don't know how much that costs, but it's learning the skill that's expensive, right?) - but it is also not mentioned anything about what that epic quest line will be, and I assume it's only fair to guess that it ain't gonna be totally free to do that :g:

the major bonus that flight form will have is instant cast, it will cost about the same (or more) then a normal epic mount, and it keeps inline w/ druid lore. Id wish theyd upgrade travel form too.

Oh yeah, that would be sweet - especially since flight form can't run on the ground. Would be nice to have at least 100% speed on the travel form.

be gratefull, you did get the 1st one free (90g) and a rather good discount on the 2nd one (after the diamond went common)

other classes had to pay for those

Travel form to 100% would be a wee overpowered as it is usable in combat :D

But yes I would appreciate much an epic land form as druids should not mount animals. :narnar:

About that... Flight form: is that usable in combat? I mean, all the other forms are... But since it's instant cast as well (as also all the other forms), just imagine: you're outdoors PvPing, you have 2-3 dudes hitting on you, and you're not too far from dying... than just *POF* - flight form - and you disappear into the sky :g:

As long as its in Outland I suppose its doable.. I've heard of droods flying in on a flying horde with low hp, out of birdie-form - instant cast, dead horde - into birdie form again.. Haven't seen it myself though, so dunno if its true

Flight form is usable only out of combat... the thing is still easy... Travel Form run OOC and ...pof... Flying form :narnar:

As I still haven't managed to gather the money to get my riding skill to 300 so I can start that bloody quest line, I keep on dreaming...

Wouldn't something like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kfr3602ANI) be really cool (end of the movie) :woot2:

I only need about 800G more to start the quest. (If only I didn't get hacked before TBC :sideways: ).
 
I got a shedload of primal shadows (70) from the AH before the patch, since I knew the prices would skyrocket :norty:  (the drop rates got nerfed into oblivion). So it'll only take a little while before I get enough gold to start the quest line.
