Guild Wars 2

I am constantly taunted by my guild mates how I have little midget wings

The wings are too small on heavy humans they need to be scaled up a little, please consider it

i agree totally

Agreed (this is on an asura).

Also it floats way too far from the back, making it look even weirder with the small size. A little bit closer so there isn’t that ugly huge gap would be nice.

I am a little disappointed on having crafted it now because of these two issues (yes I did preview thoroughly and find all pictures/videos before going for it).

Make it any bigger and you end up with Charr turning into dragons.

Looks fine to me but I don’t play a door size Norn.

I’d say make everything bigger, minis are too small, weapons are too small on asura, even on humans they could’ve been bigger (at least some thin ones like staves), same goes with backpieces

I thought they looked small the first time I saw them.

Vol.7601:

That’s a vote for them being bigger, right? Right?

As a full height Norn, I completely endorse this proposal It would be too challenging for the dev’s I guess but, how about user selectable scaling? Or maybe even just a tickable S,M,L variable?

Though these still cost WAY too much. I’d rather have just a skin version that’s cheaper.

Just think of yourself as an ugly version of Cupid….except maybe you don’t have a bow….and possibly more clothes on than just a diaper…..

I think the size is tastefully appropriate. Not everything in game has to be a gross embellishment of over compensation for certain… Shortcomings.

“That’s a vote for them being bigger, right? Right? "

It is for me!
When I original seen this item icon I was really hoping for wings using the bow’s feathers….now that would have been awesome.

Once we receive legendary Back Items, those 2 back items should be upgradeable via mystic forge or by crafting to turn them that way into their legendary versions imo with better more epic effects.

The Light of Dwayna as legendary version for example could have then some slightly bigger and more epic animated transcendent wings that have a bit more of angel wings and the legendary version could give the character a better glimmering paerticle effect when moving around together with changing the blessed finisher move into a move epic version, if you are wearing the Light of Dwayna, when performing a finishing move with the blessed finishing move that lets angel wings appear, which could be more shiny and a kind of Halo could alos appear then and explode into a big glimmering ring above you, once the finishing move animation is about to disappear again..

I think all ascendent back items should be able to get upgraded into legendary versions.
Think of all the different quivers, which could turn as legendary versions into a multitude of many new realyl required epic quiver skins…. would be so fabulous to see that happening.

This, I agree with this.
Don’t see any reason to make the item any bigger, they are actually the best wings item so far.

I’m not saying make them “embellished” i’m saying the scaling of them is off for some characters. Go take what you thought was a clever little kitten joke somewhere else if you aren’t going to be constructive

Back items always look too small on smaller than average characters, and on bigger than average characters. I passed on buying the Jetpack for my max-size Charr Warrior because it looked like a child’s toy on his back. :/

While I agree with a alot of that, especially upgrading them if legendary gear extends to back items as well, I would not like to see any excessive animation on the light of dwayna.

I hate those constantly moving, flapping backpieces such as the dragon wings – one thing I love about this backpiece is that it is largely static, but the feathers still get caught on the breeze when your character is running.

I crafted LoD BECAUSE they weren’t oversized novelties… bah.

As I mentioned, one of the biggest design flaws in the game is the lack of user customization. They’ll never be one, end all be all, cookie cutter design. That’s why having some selectable variables would be greatly appreciated.

Just the wing part please…

Make it huge and glorious!

(Make my recipie stash super expensive too!)

JUST THE WING PART!!!!!!!! (caps lock for emphasis)

Off topic slightly but does it matter what crafting makes the back piece? That is does a huntsman only make medium back or is it account bound and usable by all? Just wondering if I should buy more of each recipe.

Back pieces don’t have armour types, it doesn’t matter what profession you make it as, it starts out account bound and when you use it you select its permanent stat combo and it soulbinds.

I don’t want them to be huge kitten flapping wings either, I just think they are a little too small

Yea, they are basically chicken wings. Especially on male characters (human/norn/maybe even silvary but the bigger types)
I don’t want to spend so much gold into a backpiece that I could just replace with hologram wings. Make them worth the effort!

We’ll make Light of Dwayna 2 times bigger, but you’ll have to use 10 times as many Bolts of Damask to craft it

I’d like to take that back – over time I have become very happy with how it looks – both the size and the particle effects, so I don’t want to see it get any larger.

I have also got used to the spacing/gap between the back of the character and the backpiece (which makes it look like it’s floating).

So all in all I’m very happy with it now, just took time to get used to it.

I’ve seen the wings look perfect on many female models, and a few male models.

The problem I’ve had is the on my human Guardian. He uses the massive radiant pauldrons, and with these equipped, the wings look like vestigial stubs more than wings. When the shoulders are hidden it looks more natural , but ruins the overall ‘Paragon’ look I was going for.

They could have been a little bigger, but too big and they would become a distraction.

@Khisanth:

Not exactly like this, I don’t want them to be in the same way animated, like the usnless wings or dragon bash holo wings…

It should be more like an increased animation effect that triggers if you do something specific, or when somethign specific happens, like receiving a buff, that everytime when ypou get buff, the wings will grow for a few seconfs bigger and have increased particle effects. (just growing bigger and becoem more radiant white transparent angel wing like, no flapping of the wings)

The shown gif is more yellow transparent with flapping wings.
hard to describe what i realyl want, if there are no pictures in the net to help describe it better and if you have no skilsl with picture programs like photoshop ect. to create an example that shows what you want exactly xD

PS. hmm, after some more searching, I found something that could be used as a little inspiration:

http://whyigame.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/dwaynashrine1.jpg
Look at the spiritual Dwayna NPC left

Just a bit smaller, a bit more transparent and shining white together with golden particle effects that glow stronger when beitgn buffed, no flapping of the wigns, just static stretched out wings.

Personally i would love it to have that look, but most people probably dont so i’d settle for just a little scale up
