There is nothing polluting or ridiculous about them aside from being too popular.

And, you know, heinously large and showy, at least for something that took zero imagination

You’re free to close your eyes, because we have worse options for back skins.

They’re too big.
They’re actually dark grey not black.
Everybody and their Mom is getting them.
Game looks like a cookie-cutter Korean game atm.
No thanks.

Ya some of the stuff they’ve added to this game is ridiculous. Super sayian charr hair, neon colored hair, these wings and the list goes on. Makes me wonder if I’m still in Tyria anymore…

I have to agree with this one. I left that last game that had these wings, now I feel like I’m right back there. Everyone’s wearing them and frankly it looks ridiculous.

What exactly do they have to do with Tyria? Where’s the lore behind these?

It reminds me of a Korean game I used to play a few years ago. Desperate for cash game, they actually came up with all kinds of wing models and sizes, the thing was that the game didn’t really have a lore to talk about. That, and also, the fact that with those wings you could, you know, FLY.

I wonder about all the models of gliders that will show up in gemstore in HoT now.

LOL yea, walking around with wings and not being able to actually fly is, well…ridiculous.
Although I would definitely consider some glider models…perhaps butterfly wing gliders, or dragon wing gliders…etc. I’m sure those are in the future gem shop when HoT releases.
Until then…

I just bought the wings and now I immediately put in a refund request. One would thing that for 500 gems that there would be some basic animation to them. Instead, they have nothing. They don’t move at all when jumping and they swing about awkwardly when you run.

If you hoped that these things would have some form of animation, do not buy these. If you like them because they are pretty and you can put up with zero animation whatsoever, go for it. I was not impressed though. It looks amazing but they could have pushed the animations a little further.

They are probably a response to people asking for larger wings since the Dwayna back skin arrived. We complained that they were too small, now we will complain that they’re too big

I’m predicting White Angel Wings in two weeks, and Red Wings of Death shortly after. I’m not sure if I want to bet on Ghastly Green Wings yet.

Yeah, it’s a limited time special. To quote them…

‘Breaking news! We’re releasing future items early for one day only! Through Friday, check the Gem Store each day this week for an exciting limited-time item! And don’t forget, our Lunar New Year items will only be on sale for a little while longer!’

So, yeah, these (and hopefully more) will be back again.

Makes me wonder how many people would be all hunky dory with wings if they had been included with the Lich Outfit (which I am sure people would have asked for them to be separate anyway) or if they were instead white and named after Dwayna.

They are a tad on the large size, and personally I would like to have seen them at half of the scale they are now. Really hoping for a white pair eventually for my guardian, ANet make it happen please!

Without the ability to fly, these look ridiculous.

As a part-time Necromancer, fearing a zerg off a cliff with half the people wearing them was the most delicious type of irony. I’m afraid I might never tire of it.

Maybe I’m ok with these after all…

Penguins also have wings, but doesn’t mean they fly

Wings in white please, why just black?

MY opinion is that it’s Daniel Dociu fault. Dark, muted, broken, old, dead, dirty, you name the look of something in an unhealthy state and that’s his artwork in a nutshell. Wishing they’d hire someone with different taste to add more dimension and depth to the game finally.

We should either buy these to completely cause havoc and maybe they’ll tweak these smaller. Or, start wearing the holographic wings to counter it.

Oh great I was wondering when this was going to happen. I hate wings so much in every single game I play it’s the stupidest thing because everyone always goes apekitten over them. And every time they come and make an appearance in an MMO I like they just make it look like a crappy bad anime fest, or some low budget Korean game. Whatever.

This is exactly why I will not be getting the wings. For me, there is no appeal to looking like everyone else. If it could at least be dyed , I’d consider it, but pain black wings that everyone else is wearing just doesn’t loosen my wallet.

Besides the idle animation on the wings, they look extremely stiff while jumping and running and since you can’t dye them i won’t be getting it. i don’t trust anet when it comes to these certain items, i’m sure they’re going to release a white version of these wings like they did with the colored masks.

A problem: they vanish during animated emotes. No dancing, pointing, etc.

They don’t flap when running or idling, just bob back and forth as they maintain their position relative to the character’s back. I think they tuck slightly on a dodge roll but I’m not sure.

Anyone else feels a bit dissapointed about this? Sure the wings are really cool, looks amazing while doing nothing but once you start running they feel so clunky. In this game where most items have nice physical animations is such a down that the wings doesnt have any feel of realism when you start moving… They are like stone wings… It was just breakheart to me.

I’m not really sure why people were expecting them to be fully animated.

They aren’t real wings. They’re a backpack, an accessory. Its like a cosplayer strapping a set of wings to their back. They aren’t going to actually move and function like real wings.

Even the holographic wings just move in a loop regardless of what you’re doing, they don’t animate based on your jumps or running or anything.

Which is a fair point, but if the black ones stay completely still regardless of what you do, then they still look weird. I would’ve like to have gotten the teq wings since I have a mini teq. he looks like a familiar flapping next to my necro. Having matching wings would have been nice thematically, despite my necro never having fought teq. My warr and ranger do that

I’m not looking for a super special animation, just a standard feel of feather wings while running around or moving like pretty much all the others backpack pieces (Beta Fractal Capacitor (Infused), Light of Dwayna, Shadow of Grenth, ALL the doll back items, etc…). Its just awkward that they are supposed to be feathers and dont even move when you move lol.

I’d say that’s more wanting them to be physics-enabled than animated, but I suppose its just different terms for the same thing.

Suggestion. Just as there are items that require tons of work in the game, in addition to the new wings item, create some super wings item that requires 500000 gems to purchase. For those of us who spend all their time grinding $$ in the real life And make its equivalent attainable in the game too, but maybe different color… At least then you won’t see every other person running with the new shiny item.
