Guild Wars 2

I missed purchasing the feathered wings, but is it possible for anet to design some really cool Angel wings in black and white that look more spread out like this, or even bring the old ones back?

I think you just want Misha to smile at you and call you silly names in his best Castiel voice. Come on, admit it. It’s what we all want, secretly.

Yes, sure. MORE wings. So if you have a Charr with you on a JP, in a dungeon or wherever, you will see even less of your character. :/ I feel like the Backitems are really going out of hand any everything goes to “The bigger, the better!” which imho is not a sign of quality content. I’d stick more tho lore-fitting content. Wings are something that was mostly associated with Dwayna, the human godess.
We already have like 5 wing-backpacks. And I’m sure they will release more but I also HOPE they will tune it down a little with all those obstructing backpieces. The first set of wings was horrible enough. :/

Aye, no more wings until we get an option to hide the other characters’ backpack.

Mmmm Castiel . . .

You mean you don’t like black and white fluffy blankets?!

My problem with wings is not their impracticality in JPs. I just think angel/demon wings are. so. awful.

it’s my understanding that they were adamant to avoid capes as back pieces because they were just too typical in RPG settings. But wings? my oh mighty my.

Sorry to derail your thread, but my wing-hate just cannot be contained

They used capes in GW1. They didn’t for GW2 because charr (basically).

I so much agree.

I think wings like the ones in the OP’s picture might actually be an improvement for people who don’t like wings. They’re mostly transparent so they might actually be less annoying than the ones we have now. Even if they were in the way you could still admire your character through them.

But I agree we have a lot of wings already and it’d be nice to have something else. I don’t know what though. We’ve got wings and quivers which as far as I remember were the two most requested before we started getting them. We’ve got actual backpacks (ranging from ye olde leather sacke to modern novelty fluffy animal ones and everything in between). We’ve got a whole variety of weird objects like plants and lamps and anvils and books and flags and tigers…

I thought the reason they avoided capes was because hanging cloth attached to a moving object is incredibly hard to animate realistically in modern games and can take a lot of processing power to show. (Especially when there are a lot of them around.)

In GW1 it didn’t matter that they basically moved like a sheet of cardboard because it was in-line with the animation in the rest of the game (which was pretty good for 2005), but in GW2 they’d have to do a lot better.

(And yes I know realistic capes can be done, and are when they have to be, the Arkham games are a good example of a recent game which had to have good cape physics. But my understanding is that unless it’s that essential to your character and your game it’s just not worth it.)
