Druids and mount speed:

[TehVoyager]

Hello.

Dont know if this is intended or not, but Swift Flight Form does not benefit from the Guild perk [Mount up]

As the druid flight forms are supposed to scale with mounted movement speed, i think that this constitutes a bug.

heres my testing Criteria:

I mounted up on my ICC10 Drake, Adjusted myself to flying 0% angle as best i could by eye (dont have that bound.... and it diddnt matter for my testing purposes... i dont care what the top speed is, just if flight form MATCHES the speed)


started autorunning (auto flying) forward.

used this macro:

/script x=GetUnitSpeed("player") DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(format("Speed: %d yds/sec, %.1f kph, %.1f mph, %d%% normal run speed",x,x*3600/1093.6133,x*45/22,x/7*100))

i have the 310 Flight skill.

On my Frostbrood Drake the macro gave THIS responce:
Speed: 31 yds/sec, 103.9 kph, 64.6 mph, 451% normal run speed

In flight form:
Speed: 28 yds/sec, 94.5 kph, 58.7 mph, 409% normal run speed

K confirmed bug.

for now use mounts when flying from place to place... and flight form when herbing.

Yea I made a GM ticket about this the other week. I got the usual 'this is a known bug and we are working on fixing it', SURELY its not that hard to patch it!

i think blizzard's main problem is FINDING the offending line of code at this point.... its not like this is a little game
