I've Waited 6 Years for This Disappointment!

[ClanZero]

I've waited for six years to rise out of the hollowed out mesa of Little Ala Mhigo and recreate the opening credits for Airwolf, and I can't fly high enough to do it!

Most disappointing patch ever!

[Kyriss]

I was excited to finally be able to fly, yet immediately disappointed as most zones only allow you to fly a few feet off the ground and constantly remind you every few seconds that you can't fly any higher. And when you see something cool in the distance and head over to explore you smack into an invisible wall.

I'm hoping that the next expansion will be set in the old zones now so that they can fill in the massive amounts of completely empty land with something interesting.

Agree, let's hope they work on the ones where you barely hover above ground and update them again in the future.

Doubt it since even the expansion zones are empty and lifeless. Square just can't do lifelike open worlds, this also applies to their singleplayer FFs

I would guess that by 5.5, or 6.0, the entire zones will be revamped so it's not just OOB unlocker. Because above W. Thanalan is the worst in showing the areas were never meant for flying. Waterfalls from nowhere, music fading out, and the swamp bog lighting going in and out. I hope to see those areas given better form.

Flying in ARR, just made me miss the days I use to go out of bounds to explore the hidden lands. I actually could go further out in foot when out of bounds than we can flying. Some maps are massive, but locked behind invisible walls. So sad we can’t go further out. Fun thing I did find was the Gold Saucer in Southern Thanalan. It’s west of the southern Aetheryte. It peaks out behind some mountains.

I really liked going under East Shroud more than above it. It also makes a huge difference to clip through and see the sights on foot versus flying and being unable to land. I really wanted to try to get to the top of the crystal in Eastern La Noscea because I never could pull off the OOB glitch which oddly enough only seemed to work with male models? Tried it with different people of different races and for some wacky reason, only the men could slip through.

I bet two lalafells, that most people won't get this reference. But I chuckle none the less.

[Vahlnir]

I think it is probably the most helpful and enjoyable in Coerthas Central Highlands. It seems like they opened up a good bit of that zone to explore. Otherwise yeah, it is just a minor convenience in most zones by the looks of it. I don't feel it was necessary to begin with, but it's nice.

This only makes my trip to the T3 Thanalan soil node that much faster.

...and constantly remind you every few seconds that you can't fly any higher.

i agree with you on the disappointment on it being low, but just to let you know, you can turn off that error. character config -> log window settings -> (uncheck) display altitude error messages. there, you can also uncheck the other annoying errors too

[Yuella]

Can you fly to the Isle of Umbra?
