Gliding, not flying

#0 - Oct. 14, 2010, 4:01 a.m.

I went to Hell Fire and all my Drake does is glide, he never flaps his wings. He looks cool gliding but he doesn't do anything else unless I go up or down.

Bug?

Also, I've been really critical of blizzard on the talents system they've implemented. I don't like it. But I did a dungeon and it was not bad. I expected worse.

But it was not one of the harder to do dungeons. It was the violet dungeon which is probably the easiet to do. I'll wait until I do the hearder ones and then I'll comment.

Meanwhile what's going on with the fly mounts? I've not flown anywhere else but Hell Fire.

Thanks

P.S.

While in a dungeon you can't see the buffs on your group-mates. Is there a way to see them?

P.S.S

I switched to other fly mounts and none is flapping their wings, just glidng.

Animation is a known issue.

For buffs, I'd recommend first trying to do a full reset UI and see if the issue persists prior to reloading ANY addons (and then making sure the ones you do install are current).

To do a full reset UI, you will want to save your addons in another spot if you wish to preserve them.

Then rename/delete or move your WTF, Cache and Interface folders while WoW is shutdown. Reboot your system.

Note, if you are running Vista make sure your permissions are set so it does not undo your changes.

More detailed instructions for different operating systems, including Macs are here.
