With Polygon’s latest interview taken of Ion Hazzikostas a lead designer at World of Warcraft, several things were unveiled by the developer.

Among many aspects that were discovered about the new patch of Warlords of Draenor, a news also came to us as a heart break.



Yes, Blizzard has intended not to open Fly zone for players in the current patch and neither will it be unlocked in future patches as well.



The reason put behind the harsh decision made by Blizzard was somewhat satisfying but frustrating at the same time.

You will probably never get have the liberty to set foot on your favorite mount and glide through the skies on your own will. However, flight paths have been made more interactive ever since the release of Warlords of Draenor with players now having the ability to cancel their rides according to their will unlike previous times.



According to the designer;

“While there was certainly convenience in being able to completely explore the world in three dimensions, that also came at the expense of game play like targeted exploration, like trying to figure out what’s in that cave on top of a hill and how do I get up there”



The idea behind not including mounted flights can be understood from this point since through the use of rides players could exploit almost any area that they desire. This also tends to make the overall World more smaller and less dangerous since almost everything is known and seen by players.



To a great extent if this change is able to bring more stable and balanced game play to World of Warcraft then for the WoW enthusiasts this is nothing but a positive change.
