![]() On the opposite side of the spectrum, we have Draenor, Legion, and Battle for Azeroth, where you first need to complete the Pathfinder achievements ( Draenor Pathfinder, Broken Isles Pathfinder, Part Two, Battle for Azeroth Pathfinder, Part Two) to unlock flying.Īs outlined above, this causes an imbalance between the expansions and Blizzard will want to sort this out somehow, and the solution definitely won't be the removal of flying, but more like the opposite. Now, the question is why would you ever pick anything besides The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Mists of Pandaria, and Cataclysm expansions for leveling? None of these require the Pathfinder achievement to unlock flying! Of course, you may pick a post-Draenor zone for the story, but not efficiency. In pre-Draenor zones, you can currently fly without the Pathfinder achievement, and we think Draenor, the Broken Isles, and BfA zones, are soon going to follow the same trend.īelow is the new leveling flow slide taken from the BlizzCon presentation, and at level 10, you will be able to talk to Chromie and pick any expansion for leveling if you're not a new player. ![]() That said, the ability to travel through the air has been a key feature since Burning Crusade, so removing it entirely would likely cause riots.Within the 10-50 range, existing players can pick any expansion before heading to Shadowlands. It’s perfectly understandable that Blizzard prefers to force players to the ground at the start of an expansion rather than allowing them to fly over the massive world that was built at the ground level. “But then we realize that as you get further along in the expansion, you’ve revisited zones, that you like the convenience of being able to fly to areas, and so we did hear feedback from players about how Pathfinder worked in BfA, and complaints about the rep grind they had to do to achieve it.” “You won’t be able to fly when Shadowlands is released we think it’s super important that you experience the world as intended, that you meet everything on it and go through the quests… really take it all in from the ground,” executive producer John Hight said in an interview with HazelnuttyGames. Though it still won’t be available at launch, as some might expect, the achievement will be tied to Covenant Renown instead of reputation.

While Pathfinder is an optional task, the desire to unlock flying makes it nearly mandatory, especially given how difficult ground travel can be at times. Needless to say, this is far from a popular mechanic. Worst of all, they’re often gated so that players can only receive a certain amount of reputation a day. These grinds are often extremely menial and are usually fulfilled by doing a selection of unengaging world quests that grant reputation by 50-150 increments at a time. While the first part is generally rather easy – requiring exploration and questlines, for the most part – both parts typically include a hefty reputation grind. While their trouble allows them to fly, many players have spoken out against the gating behind the Pathfinder achievements. Players are tasked with reaching a high level of reputation with the majority of the factions in an expansion, as well as a myriad of other requirements. Pathfinder is generally a two-part achievement, with the second part granting the ability to fly while also requiring the first part. Beginning in Warlords of Draenor, this mechanic continued through Legion and Battle for Azeroth, and is now confirmed for Shadowlands. ![]() ![]() For the last few expansions of World of Warcraft, players have needed to grind out a massive Pathfinder achievement in order to unlock the ability to fly in the newest content.
