So I managed to get lucky and pick up a pair of the holo wings, and i’ve seen the Shattered wings on preview. I have to say they look nice… Except for the fact that they are swinning so hard.
They would look better if they weren’t so heavily animated. If they were less flappy and more stationary they’d look excellent.
The animation is fine standing still, but moving it just looks odd.
I’ve owned “wing” back items in other games, and having them flap like this, just looks strange.
If you’d like to see a game that did “wings” right, Tales Runner did an excellent job.

I personally like the way they are >.<
i think is more matter of tastes..
Couldn t see the shatterer version yet
GW2 balance:
A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.
I guess it looks ok to people who haven’t seen them done in other games, and what looks uncanny or not.

Here’s an example of well done rigged wings.

That is your opinion. I don’t like the stiff wings in the video. The animation for the holo wings give life to them and I thinks its cool to see.
What’s uncanny and unfluid isn’t an opinion. Whats red is red, whats white is white, and its a fact that he wings animations don’t syngergize with the way player’s avatars move, which is why it looks uncanny.

dunno how to say it but on my mesmer they are simply perfect..
If only they were purple to match also the colour…

I dunno, I don’t mind it on the normal ones but the animation on the shatterers ones are terrible

Still a matter of opinion.
Ok buddy. you keep thinking that.

They should just fold inward stay still when NOT moving (or when walking).
I don’t see the problem yet with their speed when characters are running full speed.
I was thinking they should fold in or at least stay rigged to the way the character moves when the character moves, and then be animated when you’re standing still.
What do you think?

That is 100% an opinion. Whats white is white. Yeah ofc. But we can both look at a color and say we do or do not like that color. Same with wings. I like them a lot, you don’t, and those both opinions.

I plan on using them on my asura. It seems to me the best fit for the speed. For a (huge bulky) norn I would imagine a more “majestic” flap – meaning slower.
“Whose Kitten is this?” – “It’s a Charr baby.”
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”

Why would I want useless unflapping wings on my back? That makes no sense… Completely defeats the purpose of them being wings…Wow.

The purpose of wing is to fly! not flap……
Thankfully, flying won’t happen in this game I don’t think Anet is that self destructive.

I like that they’re animated but I agree, they’re a little too animated (yea a little too Raph). Or maybe keep the flapping while standing but reduce it while in combat and running.

I looked and I looked again. I rubbed my eyes and looked yet again.
Why did you not mention the most famous of all extinct flightless birds?

Whether you feel the wings flap too much, not enough, whatever is personal preference. Some might prefer them stationary, like the op. Some might like them, but think they flap too fast. Others might like them as they are, and yet still others might think they need a little more flap.
My solution? Give us a slider bar to adjust how fast they flap, or even if they flap at all. Makes everybody happy.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

Good suggestion.
But I doubt it’ll happen. They know they can’t please everybody – so unless the flapping speed affects majority – deal with it. :p
I personally like it the way it is now btw.

I haven’t seen it in game yest. Just the previews I’ve seen in the live streams, youtube, etc. They look nifty, so I plan to get at least 1 pair.
