Summary
World of Warcraftis adding Dragonriding to the rest of the game, but top speed in old world locations will be limited to 80% of the normal maximum. Though slightly slower than they are used to, this new form of flying is coming as a part of the nextWorld of Warcraftcontent update, Patch 10.2.5.
Recently,World of Warcraftannounced some big changes coming to Dragonridingin the near future. The first of these changes is coming inWorld of WarcraftPatch 10.2.5, Seeds of Renewal, which adds this flying style to the rest of the world.
That said, there is one limitationWorld of Warcraftplayers should be aware of before the patch comes out. According to theWoWPatch 10.2.5 PTR notes, Dragonriding outside the Dragon Isles is limited to 80% of its normal speed limit. This has been done primarily to avoid trivializing travel, as old world zones tend to be smaller than those on the Dragon Isles. While this might seem like a significant nerf, players such as boskee who have tested old world Dragonriding on the PTR can barely tell the difference.
How Fast is Dragonriding in World of Warcraft?
Seeds of Renewal is alsoremoving a limitation on the Dracthyr’s version of Dragonriding inWorld of Warcraft. Right now, Soar has a long cooldown that can be reduced through certain means, but with a limited number of abilities it can use during each flight. In Seeds of Renewal, Dracthyr will be able to access the full Dragonriding system using Soar, with its cooldown almost completely removed.

Players will be able to toggle between both types of flying easily, and will have all theWorld of Warcraft: Dragonflightglyphs and traits unlocked automatically.
