Guild Wars 2

As the title suggests, please make the jetpack into a glider skin. All it needs is some flame exhaust. Please and thanks!

And holographic wings, and shattered wings, and the bladed backpack!
Plzthx!

All have been asked for in https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/Glider-Suggestions-Share-Them-Here/first but you may wish to go ask again there just to reinforce the requesting.

Yes please, had jetpack for ages but now that it’s obtainable again with the commemorative sprockets i see no reason not to give it a glider update.

How about like “The Rocketeer”?

Sadly if Light of Dwayna/Feathers of the Zephyr are anything to go by, when they make a glider to go with the backpack, they’ll put it on the gemstore, probably as a random BLC drop.

I was going to say that short of making each of these backpacks a straight BLTC skin they won’t make them gliders too retroactively because it would mean that anyone can buy them without earning them, kittening off those that went to the trouble.

However, that is kind of the case now. It’s just a variable amount of gems to effectively buy each of them as a skin. You still have to build the Spinal Backpack, but you can buy all the parts to do it. So we’re probably getting closer.

I’m talking about making it unlock if you have the skin. Same way the black and white wing gliders unlock. So you can’t get the glider unless you have the jeptack backpiece. That’s about as fair as it can be.

That was a thing they did with the black/white wings after they added gliders.

Yep, and they should theoretically be able to do the same thing here. I think that is the fairest way to let the current (and future) owners of the jetpack have the glider instead of asking for even more gems.

Except the wings were always exclusively BLTC. They would come back again and again so making them gliders wouldn’t upset anyone because they would just get them the next time they came around. They were worth the resources to do because they would always be worth money.

All of these backpacks you’re interested in were not and never had anything to do with the BLTC before. They would be spending resources to accommodate something very few people had and that for the most part more people would never have because they were nonrepeatable content. That’s a waste of time and effort.
