    As I am doing the WQ tonight after the latest patch I am now landing beside each npc rather than on top and not having a problem.

    I have a funny idea that when we land on an npc (autopathing), the game thinks we are on the ground rather than on the head of the npc and messes up when we launch from on their head.

    I came across something last night that I think may be a vital clue in the issues with bobbing back into place on the flying mounts.

    Last night i was doing some sporadic flying and become stuck in the continuous pullback scenario in which no matter how much you try to fly up, you will always be pulled back into place. Then I hit the fly hotkey to attempt to land.. and instead of landing, i resprouted my wings and was able to fly perfectly fine. Could it be that certain take off or landing types are causing animation issues where your character appears to be flying but is actually registered as on the ground and effected by gravity?

    Yay (well, can that be a yay?), we reproduced one type of this issue.

    Steps to repro:

    Stand on an NPC, jump off once or twice and hit fly before you hit the top of the jump arc.

    You will get stuck.

    Solve this issue, stop flying.

    Try not to hit fly so soon after you jump near and NPC. Also, auto-pathing to an NPC and doing the above steps, the issue might also occur.

    So please be careful using autopath around mobs so that you don't wind up getting yourself all kinds of hurt.

    We're still researching it. Thank you all for helping us narrow this down. Videos work AWESOME.

    Did you guys submit tickets yet? Did you get our feedback on your PCs yet?

    Do you still need information on our PCs?

    (I submitted a ticket tuesday evening, but I probably did not provide enough information about my pc, but I have not gotten a ticket number yet, so I do not know how I can add information to my existing ticket.)

    VERY QUICKLY - do a high jump, hit fly icon & hold down space bar to rise up

    That used to be a cool way to mount up above foot traffic or get away from angry mobs. Not anymore. Not since the big update. You end up back on the ground with your mount flying under the ground. Like a hiccup downward.

    SOLUTION - do it slower... jump & wait a second... hit fly icon & wait a second... hold space bar to rise up (yeah no fun & looks jerky)

    ** It only happens when you do it fast
    ** Everyone is having this issue as far as I can tell
    ** It happens anywhere not just by NPCs

    MMO's frequently add slight delay times to keystrokes & mouse clicks as an anti-botting measure. That may explain the communication difficulties here.
