Guild Wars 2

Could we please have the option to disable the glider, or keybind it to a different key. I am having problems in some jumping puzzles with the glider coming on when I don’t want it to. I would like to have the ability to turn it off.

I want to fly in a giant bubble, like Glinda from The Wizard of Oz. The bubble could pop upon landing.

Darn you! I just had this idea this morning! So I’ll +1 you instead.

It came to me as I was thinking of ways to revamp the new Electro glider and thought making it a sphere surrounding the person might look nifty.

At which point I realized a Glinda bubble would have a lot of potential thanks to ANet’s ability to add rainbow shimmers and ambient light reflections. They already have a Tempest water bubble to ride around on, so that animation could work either atop or within the bubble (unless they have to keep the gliding pose for airborne people, which might look odd inside a bubble but hey, it’ll still be an awesome glider).

That’s a pretty interesting and clever idea. I’d buy that :-)

Giant hands. Like those inflatable hands at sports games. Giant gliding hands.

Make the SAB backpiece’s into gliders.

Just give them 8bit style airplane wings if you will and have them eject out similar to buzz lightyears wings.

black/red revanant glider.

This may have been suggested before but I’d love to have an invisible glider.

Sometimes if I start gliding straight after entering a zone the glider won’t load and I’ll just see my character drifting through the air with their arms out. I think that looks really cool and I’d love to have that effect permanently.

Above all, there should be alternate ways of obtaining gliders, via drops or a collection. Making it a drop would be exciting, and it can be account-bound to prevent subsequent horrendous TP prices.

1. Zephryite tribute gliders. Wind/Lightning/Sun.
2. Guild Glider.
3. Glint Gilder (crystalized/shards that leave crystal trails and play the crystal oasis tones)
4. Rainbow Glider. We needs it.

Triangular glider with giant eye design. Illuminati confirmed!

For the love of Tyria, give us a way to either toggle on/off the gliders or change the keybind on them. I can’t do these freakin jumping puzzles with them on the world map!

I stand by my previous statement, don’t put out limited edition glider skins unless you account for players that are paid BiWeekly.

• Crafting gliders – like the crafting backpieces, gliders added to each crafting progression that is themed to the craft (probably just 1 per craft, not one per crafting tier per craft). For example, the CoF glider could be a glider made of fire, while HotW could be using the kodan-designs metal and ice (not realistic but hey neither are animal wings on plant people)

I like the idea of being able to craft gliders especially ones themed to crafting professions. Somehow I see the chef one made of cooking utensils strung together or chef hats and aprons. For a jeweler a glider strung together with jewels or crystals – it could be a great way of using up the copper, silver, gold etc. for a really flashy or color coordinated glider. It would be also kind of neat to be able to customize – have several parts so you can mix and match your glider within that profession.

That would be amazing. A lot of work for the devs probably but kitten ’em – what have done for us lately?
Yeah, being able to craft your own glider would be sweet.

Triangular glider with giant eye design. Illuminati confirmed!

A glider which is simply the Eye of Janthir. The player character floats effortlessly beneath it.

Or maybe Guild Wars 1 Celestials, such as a Celestial Dragon flying above the player.

I was wondering if you could implement the static tempered spinal blades as a glider skin? They look like wings too with some kind of an engine :p

How about a nice cloud glider?

Would also like to see a Tempered Spinal Blades option.

I don’t think that glider skins should be free or rewards. They have no effect on gameplay and are one area where anet can earn money without too many complaints

I’d really like some existing wing back items to be made into gliders, like the temporal blade back items. They took effort to make and even more so now due to how slack it is to get blade shards, the added glider skin would be great.

Teneborous/Shimmering craftable back items/gliders. Maybe using Tailor/Leatherwork/Armorsmith.

Phoenix wing glider. Fiery and awesome, would suit Warriors and elementalists.

Parachute glider. Would look great with the jungle explorer outfit or in general really.

Celestial glider, like white energy “wings” with light orb trails.

skin/flesh glider with bones as support, nice for necro’s.

I need something like this

some more wings

I want to glide around in a cape like superman. Make it red hot and with a big letter S behind

I don’t think you can do this currently, but it might be nice if we could hover. Create a small, personal updraft that isn’t strong enough to elevate your glider, but will hold it in place indefinitely.

And if that already exists, then disregard. I just haven’t seen it yet!

i want to look like a flying squirrel… or cat

that is all

My suggestion for a glider is put the one that you already have made! So no extra work! The glider/wings from “chasing the egg” story mission are amazing! Even if it is only limited to just glider and not a back piece I would love this one if it was available.(I’m sure a lot of other people will agree)

Thanks!

Give guardian profession specific wings, the one they already have with Wings of Resolve as dragonhunter, and then watch every human female meta player make whine posts on the forum that it should be available to everyone.

- Wings of Fire based on the Sun or Phoenix
- Jet Pack based on Asura technology
- Wings that can change it color based on Night and Day cycle
- Cyclone or Wind that cover our character while gliding
- Ley-line glider

Oh my goodness. Please. This!

Oh! That would have been such a lovely reward for completing that mission!

O.o

I’d buy that for a dollar!

Gimme ANet!

Jetpacks for my engie…
or just get the molten firestorm one to work…

Someone suggested the Spinal Blade backpiece. I feel an invisible glider skin that allowed all backpieces to be shown would be nice.

Spinal Blade post someone made:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Suggestion-Spinal-Blade-backpack-glider/first#post6041783

To summarize the Spinal Blade backpack thread:

The ascended Spinal Blade Wings are perfect for flying/gliding in the way they are designed

They have different color versions already or they could be dyeable

They have joints and they could unfold in a similar way to the legendary PVP ones.

Also they seem to have some kind of booster underneath which could fire up while gliding.

Balloons, like the quaggan mail carrier.

Another one for a jet pack.. maybe “rocket man” style with finned helmet… or… “Bell Rocket Belt” style where you glide upright.

Your character frantically flapping their arms like wings.

Just some quick ideas, to transform some older backpacks into glider, allowing for some progression outside the gemstore:

Fractal backpack Glider:
- Mirror it so it is two of the open circles with the glowing cube in it and the cloth pointing down. It would look like a drone lifting mechanism that way.
Some little FX and it would be pretty nice.

Bladed Wings:
- These are allready a jetpack + Wings, why arent they Gliders yet?

Molten jetpack:
- It is a jetpack…

Guild Backpack:
- Have the Guild Backpack open up to something like a parachute, or a simple glider with the Guilds logo on it. Maybe a cleaner texture

Order Backpacks:
- have them be able to let out fitting wings at their last incarnation (T3), the Virgil one allready has a wing motive, the OoW has feathers and the Priory could go crystal.

Gods Backpacks:
- All of the gods bckpacks should be able to fly in some form. If they don`t look allready like they could sprout wings, have them do it. Be it fire with balthazar or litteraly have Melandrus sprout wings…

Holographic Wings:
- I think they explain themselves. We allready sestablished hard light holograms, so it is feasable.

Book Backpacks:
- Most of them are magical, so have them open up and their pages create wings.

Hobo-Tron Backpack
- How about some helicopter blades of him, You kow, like in Ratchet and Clank?

Thats about the general ones I can come up with just from the established backpacks.
Other than that, some other ideas would be:

- Mechanical Wings (Think Archangel of X-Men)
- Baloon Glider (Think Pixars Up, though it might obscure things)
- Engineer Drone Glider (Four drones attach cables to your character and lift you through the sky)

Intigracy.2089:

Your character frantically flapping their arms like wings.

Laughing so hard now. Even if we only get this on Apr 1 I want it.

a kind of teleport glider:
to explain, you activate this just as you would with the glider (double jump), however, it then activates a target icon that you can place just as ground targets.
you can’t do any tricks like a normal glider and you can only get as far as you could with a normal glider, but you teleport there within a few seconds.

small disadvantages to go allot faster.

Mary Poppins umbrella = instabuy XD

Would be a good glider skin/extra. Scratch that, amazing glider skin.

Edit: This post now makes no sense since a moderator moved this without copying the title. I was referring to the magic carpet.

If you’re going to do that, add the broomstick too!

I’ve always wanted something that looked ‘functional’ yet elaborately designed. The Pheonix kite and Classic glider skins were probably the closest to this idea, but they were soooo…flimsy.

Anet, think you can make an elegant glider that looks like it could stand the ruggedness of travel? It kinda irks me that many of the non-wing gliders look like they could be torn to shreds with a good strong gust.

Do all gliders need to be above the player? If not, with an animation change you could have the glider below the player. Having the player sitting on something would open up all sorts of new types of gliders. A Pegasus. A player on a bicycle flying across the skies. Riding a dragon. Sitting on a soap bubble. A magic carpet. A broom.

I want to glide around in a supersonic jet, painted bright silver with shades of hot pink and the initials of my character sprayed along the body. Oh and slot in a couple of mega cannons at the side by the way

Maybe one that isn’t exclusive to the gem shop?

Bring back guild kites… which seem to be missing… and add gliding functionality. Also gliding functionality for the other kites/balloons/brooms/carpets.

Chopper’s board from 2000 AD

Largos “wings” and yea, I know…
Auto-rotating descender (When a helicopter loses it’s engines, but it’s blades remain intact, this is how it can still land safely assuming it has the altitude)
Recolors of the Soul River glider (red, green, pink… ALL OF THEM)
Invisible glider skin
Skeletal wings (with or without a spine chilling shriek)
Holographic wings like the two Dragon Bash back items
SAB wings (BECAUSE OKAY)
A glider that sits in front of you instead of on top (and pulls you forward)
Acrobatic parachutes (which is functionally what our gliders really are)
A glider that turns your descent into a full on religious experience for people watching (full body halo, lights all over the place, the sound of angels singing)
A glider that turns your descent into a full on religious experience for people watching (darkness, fire and brimstone and the screams of the condemned)
A glider on FIRE
A glider on PURPLE FIRE (and green and yellow and blue and… AND ALL OF THEM)
Branded glider
Icebrood glider?
A glider made of tentacles (think that karka back item from way back)
A glider made of something incredibly macabre that rains blood on those below you
A glider made of an African Swallow…
A mount made of two empty halves of coconuts and you banging them together… wrong thread
…
A glider that works like the seeds from a dandelion
A glider made of leaves that have been tied together for some reason
A glider made of the 3 Zephryte back item’s effects just cause
A glider where you’re clinging to a shield or something for dear life
An umbrella (loony toons or gtfo)
A malfunctioning Jet Pack that doesn’t even lift, bro.
A phantasmal glider that shatters when it is stowed
A glider that turns you into the Ride the Lightning Animation
A glider that sits you on top of a Tornado
A glider that slows your descent with steam (complete with screams of pain cause steam is hot stuff)
A glider made of ice that coalesces upon deployment and melts or shatters upon landing
A Magic Carpet
A Witch’s Broom
A glider made of a Toilet you sit on as it’s being pulled by Pink Flamingos
A Burning Sleigh being pulled through the sky by Balthazar’s Reindeer, with a White Bearded Norn guy holding a spear of lightning to the sky, shouting and 2 or 3 Norn women playing in the bag of gifts while either Ride of the Valkyries or that song by the Trans Siberian Orchestra is blasting at unreasonable volume.

A “Pod” glider, similar to the pod racers from the Phantom Menace. Two engines, located in front of you, pulling you along and making a chugging noise.

For wintersday, (requires a sitting animation), a sled glider being pulled by a team of dolyaks, and (trailing animation) presents spill out of a large sack in the back seat. Lead dolyak should have a glowing red nose, of course.
