Guild Wars 2

I love the wings in Gw2! But skins are limited and most of them looks the same =/..

Something like this would be awesome:

Wings make your characters look like fake chickens.

No thanks!

God no. No more freaking wings.

I would not mind something like that at all. ^^

I like wings aswell, more wings would be indeed cool ; )

I must respectfully disagree.

I currently have Three, yes that’s 3 sets of wings in the inventory of one of my characters.
No none of them are soulbound yet because I personally think they look silly but that is just me.
No I can’t destroy them cause hey, I did earn them.
Enough with the Wings already, please.
And maybe one step further, these are the Back Items just sitting in my character’s inventory, UNUSED. Why, well because I only have One back.

1. Mad Memoires
2. Mad Memoires: Complete Edition
3. Toymaker’s Bag
4. Sclerite Karka Shell
5. Sun Catcher
6. Lightning Catcher
7. Wind Catcher
8. Desert Rose
9. Zephyr Rucksack
10. Wings of the Sunless
11. Fervid Censer
12. Guild Defender Backpack
13. Holographic Dragon Wing
14. Holographic Shattered Dragon Wing

Yes, yes I know I could spread them over to my other 4 characters but they already have back items of their own; well except for the Engineer but that is another story for another time.

Now If we could stack up these skins in some sort of back item tab and make use of them when an appropriate situation arises(like Minis), then I say bring on the Back Items(wings) but until then I am just running out of inventory space.

And before someone says just buy more bank inventory space…
I currently have 430 Bank Slots available NOT counting Character Inventory or Guild Bank Space and yes, they are all almost completely full of stuff.

If you don’t like the wings, don’t use them. It’s simple as that.

Wings on my char make him look like a fanged and horned bumblebee, so no thanks.
Also, please fix the behaviour of back items on every race, then make more of them.

uhh uhh i love wings!!.. +1 to op, and how about mantel? look kitten too

p/s: wings on asura = too cute.. chuckles

This. I haven’t used any backskins they’ve given away as part of Living Story or anything else. I only like 2 Ascended ones (Fractals and the Quiver), so they’re the only 2 I’d use.
Adding in more wings or bizarre bug-exterminator back skins does no harm. I can just easily destroy them and people that like them can use them.
Be kinda nice if there was option though. The Mad King skin as an example – some people were flipping out about not being able to get this and really wanted it. Personally, I think the skin is dumb and would have opted for the treat bags had I the choice. When these kind of quests are done, a choice between the skin or something like 25 treat bags (or something similar) would be fantastic.

No more fairies. Instead, give us cloaks/capes or clothed slots for our weapons on backs.

Hmmm, I seem to have touched a nerve. I am sorry to have respectfully given a conflicting opinion to yours as part of a discussion. No offense was intended.

As you simply suggest: I don’t like them, and I don’t use them as I have previously stated.

The point that I was trying to add to the conversation was the inventory concern of the continual addition of Back Items.

It wasn’t really directed to you. It was directed to the people that don’t like something, therefore they don’t want new things in the game.

^ this.

I’d like to see some swords or daggers and whatnot, definitely winged out atm though. Time to get the game back on track !

for the love of good taste and immersion in the game please REMOVE ALL EXISTING WINGS!

kthxbye!

No offense meant either. I will just add the point straight to you though.
Right Click, Destroy.

I want wings as well. We need:
Fairy wings (4 wings, 2 pairs)
Pixie wings (6 wings, 3 pairs)
Angel wings
Seraph wings (6 wings, 3 pairs)
Black wings
Burning wings
and finally, the most important of all, Moa wings.

I’d be happy with just an added option of non flapping wings. The shattered holographic wings would look perfect for my guardian, if they were only still and not constantly flapping.

Drag them outside your inventory window. Press the “yes” button in the window that pops up. Inventory problem solved of the skins you don’t like and don’t use.

Yes, thank you for the instructions on how to destroy an item but as I stated previously:

• “No I can’t destroy them cause hey, I did earn them.”
• “Now If we could stack up these skins in some sort of back item tab and make use of them when an appropriate situation arises(like Minis), then I say bring on the Back Items(wings)”

The reason I submitted an alternate solution of just destroying them, was because that tends to be an absolute finality in this game(No Takebacks).

As I stated I wouldn’t mind having them available for use if and “when an appropriate situation arises” or maybe, 6 gods forbid…I change my mind.

Destroy = No option for future reconsideration

You should play Aion…

Eviscera.9703:

I still have to look at that ugly drek on the people around me.

Eew…personal taste is personal tase, so the one posted by OP is definitely not for me….but good luck to those who like it…

Its not only i don’t like them.. it makes me not like the game as a whole. Before new wings, I’d like a button to hide all currently existing wings.

Yalora Istairiea.6287:

• “No I can’t destroy them cause hey, I did earn them.”

This is called hoarding. You are amassing a collection of useless items that server no purpose and will never use for the sole reason that you ‘earned’ them.
If you never use them to show off that you earned them and never will, then they literally serve no purpose other than to clutter your inventory. Its a self-inflicted problem.
I would be for adding skins to the achievement section with those skins for the sole purpose of people who like them being able to access them on alts. It would doubly cover what your self-inflicted problem is weighing you down with.

This game has way too many ridiculous skins, I can’t walk 10 feet without some immersion-killing backpiece or weapon in my face.

All they really need are guild capes.

Holding onto items that you’ll likely not ever use is your own choice. It’s also your own choice to free up inventory space or purchase more. If you choose to destroy an item, accept the consequences of never getting that item back. If you can’t live with those consequences, then you’ve chosen to hold onto them and your only option really is more storage. The system in place is fine as it is and devs need their attentions focused on far more pressing issues.

It would be ridiculous imho to make a collection slot for back items. If you do that, you might as well make one for every piece of armor and town clothing in the game. While we’re at it, lets remove the need for inventory bags altogether by making every droppable item in the game go straight to a collection slot. nothx

I just can’t stand them flapping constantly, it completely ruins it for me, to the point I never equip them, even though my character would look awesome with static wings.

I say turn off the flapping, or maybe only flap when you’re running or something. Why my wings need to flap incessantly while I’m at a vendor is beyond me.

Absolutely not. I played Dekaron for the longest time (Even when it was named 2Moons a very long time ago). I got so tired of seeing wings all day every day on every single level 110+ I ran into. I think we have enough wings in this game already…. so bring on the capes instead!

Less wings, more capes imo.

dam lot of back items! i have 2.. but was hoping the Mad Memoires would come back with halloween event!

Ugh. I really wish “immersion” was a censored word that got “kittened” out.

Idk about more wings but i wanted the option to look like a kitten buddhist deity since launch:

Good point, in the current state of the game it remains my option to hold or trash them. Since the game at this point is in a constant state of flux as to what mechanics they are going to add or change I prefer to keep them for a while and see what happens.

As for the ridiculous collection slot for earned back skins…

• My 20+ Titles have a nice little slot for me to hold them till I find a need to use.
• My recently added 8 Zenith, Radiant and Hellfire skins have a nice comfy spot to rest till I need them later

Is it really so ridiculously far fetched to hope for such a spot to hold my Back Item Skins too?

no

I would be fine with more wings IF:

1.) They were a little bigger.
2.) They remained in a stowed position until I jumped.

EDIT: I really hate the animation.

Less wings more infinite potions that turn your character into a taco or a towel.

Buy Aion for the wing

Wouldn’t mind seeing more wing back pieces in the game.
Would love to see capes as well. However, I know that capes are a pain in the kitten for programmers since the game engine would just want to have them clip down through your character model. This becomes exceedingly obvious and problematic for Charr character models since they are hunched over, even when standing still, and thats not even taking into account when they run.
Also, I’m not entirely sure that the backpiece slot is really good for capes, as is. It’s rather low on the back for most character models, where as capes drape down over the back from around the shoulders.
One possible compromise could be a single smaller cape coming off of a shoulder piece. It could naturally, and more easily drape around the side of a character model, even a Charr, rather then just clip straight through it.
Anyway, more back piece options are always great.
Whether you like them or not is subjective opinion.
Whether you like them on other characters around you or not is irrelevant. Because you know… that whole multiplayer online game thing…

feathery wings! I’d love them on my ele. :< or ranger…

This is GW2:
GW2

Not this:
Winged GW2

Mesket, I don’t disagree with you, but I might be able to take that more seriously if we didn’t have plush quaggan backpacks all over the place.

As to the topic: I wouldn’t mind more wings if they were done tastefully and were not animated. They should move according to the character model’s motion physics. They should not have their own independent animation.

However, I would love to see other types of back pieces, too. Such as:

Guild Capes
Orbs
Cosmetic Weapons like Anton’s swords
Auras
Scarves

There’s lots of cool stuff that could be done with back pieces, rather than repeating the same ones.

EDIT: Isn’t this more of a Suggestions forum kind of thread?

I just want plant/nature themed wings(or maybe water), Id be appeased with wings skins then.

My asuran is a little lost when it comes to inventing
a flying machine, thus he cannot train to earn his wings :-P
…atm he has none.

If any more wings are added I’m down for white feathers (then I can make my warrior look even more like the Nightfall Paragon artwork)

No thanks, this game is slowly starting to resemble Aion already.

That sounds like the “wardrobe” function that people have been asking for, unless I’m mistaken. Why do you think that wouldn’t be a good idea? (I for one would love it.)

On topic: I have to say I’m not seeing a use for more wings, but if other people like them and I’m not required to get them, meh.

Think about it this way: Take your basic level 80 exotic set. Exalted Light Armor for example. How many different derivatives are there? (ie: Rampager’s, Carrion, Berzerker’s, Cleric’s, etc.) Are you suggesting we make a collection slot for every single armor combination in the game? The list would be horrendously long.

Now think about back items. How would you suggest they do this? Have a skin library for every single back item in the game? What about back items that don’t have skins? Are you suggesting they be recognized in the programming code as something else OTHER than collection back items, while still being recognized as back armor? What about skins that have already been transmuted onto armor? Are they going to no longer be allowed to “dock” in the collections tab? Should every back piece be account unlocked like the Zenith weapons? Should every piece of armor be account unlocked like the Zenith weapons? You do realize there is a reason why the achievement armor can’t be dyed. Are you willing to risk all armor not being dyable just for the privilege of docking them in a collection tab?

It’s ridiculous simply for the fact that it’s a huge huge HUGE amount of unnecessary work to fix something that is unbelievably already working fine as is. It’s simply a waste of time imho to focus so many resources on something so trivial. This wouldn’t “just” be a quick fix to complete lol.

Um… the window/list you’re talking about is already in the game. Walk up to the PvP locker in the heart of the mist and you’ll see nearly every skin in the game neatly laid out. It’s pretty much where I do all my try-before-you-buy costumery.

Copy that window, add a simple 1 bit yes/no to do you own rights to withdraw that particular skin as seen in the Achievements reward panel (again, existing, proven code) and the job is DONE.

Its a lot more a matter of ANet stylistic choice and profitability than some insurmountable coding exercise.
