I'm excited for flying mount updrafts and adventures but a little worried that mounting in combat will be awkward for the game.

There must be some new reason they want us to be able to get on a flying mount in combat but it's odd that this doesn't extend to other mounts and I also wonder if it will remove flavor from other parts of the game by making the choice to get into combat a bit more trivial. I'm just not sure about that one until I get my hands on it.

Right now if you choose to solo a champ or low man a group event there can be a trade off by choosing to disengage. That's totally gone if you can decide to fly away whenever you want.

do you still need to unlock it properly if you want to use it on all maps, right?

So I can continue to unlock it the old way after I got my griffon and continue crying because of so less time 😅

So many articles prior to launch! It's crazy! It looks like they've finally hit their stride as far as communication is concerned, and I'm all for it

I'm a sucker for anything movement related, because it always feels like a breath of fresh air to be able to traverse/explore the maps in a different way. My prediction is that those flying mount masteries will hit it out of the park for me, no matter how underwhelming the rest of the mini-expansion might be.

Sounds very promising.

I am glad when finally everyone can enjoy the skyscale. Will make it more easy for newcomers.

From what I've read, skyscale is just free on new maps I guess - and you just have to unlock it to get it on other maps and get masteries. Because their updated rental is just a mount always enabled on those maps.

Updrafts just refill our bars? What, really?
