World of Warcraft’s 6.2 patch brings players to a revamped Tanaan Jungle, but if you were hoping that the update would finally unlock flying in Draenor’s zones, you’re out of luck. Flying isn’t coming to Draenor in patch 6.2, and like never will, according to a Polygon review with Blizzard’s lead designer Ion Hazzikostas. Blizzard’s apparent regret over flying mounts has been well known for a couple of years now, going back to 2013 when then lead system designer Greg Street stated that he would not add flying mounts, given another chance.
“There’s more room for exploration, for secrets, for discovery and overall immersion in the world. At this point, we feel that outdoor gameplay in World of Warcraft is ultimately better without flying. We’re not going to be reintroducing the ability to fly in Draenor, and that’s kind of where we’re at going forward.”
While flying mounts aren’t completely ruled out of future content, but that they would likely be added in a more restricted way that makes sense in the context of the zone.
