Guild Wars 2

the living story mentions these items but of course they are no where to be found be as a useable item. I think that as a reward for completing Learn to Kite meta(which to be honest they have a parachute attached to them, not a kite) should have been a Parachute Back Pack. Or make them a merchant item that you need a large amount of quartz crystals to get.

And to keep these items from stealing thunder from the the other back items that were introduced with this living story.
Simply these items would not be a new skin, but a item much like a Jewel or a Infusion Slot. So you get the look of the skin you like with the functionality of the life saving device.
Basically the upgrade item you install on the back piece of your choice and when you are falling from a great height you can setup a button to deploy the parachute to safely drift to the ground below….and like in real life these jumps or falls would need a certain distance to work so people would not be jumping off houses…only long falls.

gosh no one wants to add to this… I thought it would have gotten some constructive criticism.

Just play a necro. Make sure you have full life force before you make a jump. If you miss, death shroud will break your fall.
