NEW FEATURE: BECOME A DRAGONRIDER

Master the art of Dragonriding, a new form of aerial movement. Explore the land and obtain four new Dragon Isles Drakes—unique, customizable mounts that can be truly made your own. With millions of possible combinations to choose from, no two Drakes are the same.

Mastering the Skies

Use your new riding abilities to keep yourself and your Drake in the air—but beware! The denizens of the Dragon Isles will knock out inexperienced Dragonriders right out of the sky.

Special Moves
As you grow in skill, you and your Drake will master new maneuvers. Fight against exhaustion and the pull of the earth, and soar above the Dragon Isles.
Talented Rider
Continue to improve your Dragonriding skill at max level by hunting down ancient glyphs and advancing your new Dragonriding skill tree.
More Customization
Once you reach maximum level, you can conquer additional challenges all over the Dragon Isles to unlock even more customization options for your Drakes.

I would not mind a pathfinder to get that.

Being able to go AFK while hovering in the air or enjoying/screenshoting the zones from above while standing still are integral parts of WoW flying to me.Comment by ColdariaCentury: Age of Ashes crossover.Comment by worgenfearThis aside from the new race and class combo is what I am most excited about! I cannot wait to make a drake that is unique to me and just soar all over the dragon isles and see what I can find :) Really looking forward to this! Now I just need to wait for the preorders to go live!Comment by JfjamAlright, THIS is a cool feature, excited for this.Comment by ohmissladyI'm very nervous that this is going to essentially replace mounts for an entire expansion. I know that I'm in the minority here, but mount collecting has been my "end game" for quite a few years now. So, if there's no mounts to farm, and I can't use the ones I already have spent hundreds of hours acquiring, then I'm not sure what's left for me.Comment by offspinnerI

Animations are also identical. This isn't really a bad thing mind you, games taking from other games is nothing new. I just wish they put a little more work into them to make them different.Comment by XaleaSo excited for this and everything else in the expansion. They're definitely heading in the right direction!
