the broom as a glider is a neat idea (harry potter style anyone?)
A jetpack would be fun , or a mini dragon that can also function as a glider
racial gliders would be cool but mainly if you could involve a small racial quest in order to get it. (in game gliders simply need to happen)

White Lions Claw , dungeon, Living Story ,
Personal Story, WvsW , Guild Missions, Living Story and so much more.

A function to disable glider sounds would be great. I don’t want to disable all effect-sounds, but glider sounds are pesky after a while.

It would be wonderful if we could toggle gliding on and off. This would be so helpful during jumping puzzles.

I want to glide via a single pink balloon on a string tied to my back belt loop. On the pink balloon I want, written in marker: What?

My sincere suggestion about Gliders is please don’t make it put a prompt on top of my character every time I fall for longer than a second telling me how to glide. It’s really annoying. At least let me disable it.

Insect swarm glider, possibly with a green or black aura. Perfect for necromancers.

It’s hard to do jumping puzzles with a big, fuzzy butt.

Group of colorful (dyeable) balloons you can hang on would be super cute
With new animation for it you could also add umbrella gliding like Mary Poppins

I guess I should have realized this would happen but I was very disappointed to find when I dye my glider/backpiece combo the backpiece cannot match it. Now my Shining Blade glider colours look perfect when I’m in flight (red and silver to match her outfit and makeup), and completely mismatched when I’m not (blue and gold), probably wouldn’t have bought it if I’d realized this would happen. I don’t see much point in making glider/backpiece combos dyable if they won’t match. Would love to see this change!

Here are my suggestions;

Ninja Kite glider (similar to Phoenix Kite Glider)
Illusionary Glider (either pink transparent standard glider or original design)
Skritt Glider (looks kinda junky)

SPINAL BACKPIECE GLIDER!

Please consider having these available to be turned into an available glider.
I love the look of my ascended spinal backpieces, I just wish they could stay visible on my character as a glider!

Possible animations for them could be that they fully extend into wings and mabey “thruster” particle effects coming from the 2 turbine looking things towards the center of the backpiece?

Please consider!

Id assume turning the ascended tier spinal back pieces would be a lot more easier since the model of them already exists rather than creating and animating from a blank canvas, no?

A few animation changes, throw in some particle effects, some clanky sound files.

yea? yea? yea? yea? yea?

Helicopter like blades that pop out from your head like inspector gadget. Complete with handles.

Cherubs or Imps that pop into existence to carry us.

Balloons.

A cape and make us look like we are flying, super man style. Combine with matching backpack.

I would really like to see some more like the electromagnetic ascender.

I’d be interested in seeing a Comet or Meteorite-looking glider. One that when used, completely engulfs the character in flames. Just enough flames with enough opacity to still see the character gaining velocity during descent.

Could also be called a Shooting Star Glider.

Yes I’m a vet, yes I’m salty. Problem?

Sylvari/Plant gliders – yeah, i know there is already a plant glider – but that one looks like some plants glued on a normal glider!

Something more inspirated by drifting and floating plant seeds. There are tons of driftibg plant seeds, some designs are already used in the game – may it be cultural sylvari skins or even drifting lifts themself

I really have an itch for a glider that mimics the one of Batman Beyond: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3307/3534227221_06c8b4d493.jpg

Just because of the unique shape (a bit like the shining blade glider or phoenix kite glider actually) not because it is attached to his arms.

From far away, the Spectral Glider looked awesome. ..until I saw the undead/bone motif up close. Any chance of getting another glider with a similar design with dyed flames in a more neutral theme?

Many alts; handle it!

I think that the Bat Wing glider needs to come back. In fact, the entire combo needs to come back this halloween. It’s a favorite among many characters, and will give a lot of money to the game, while giving a lot of pleasure to the players!

I know, it’s not a new idea, but it is still a great one!

I’m sure this has already been suggested a few million times, but if you’re going to have gliders be dye-able (shining blade backpack/glider combo, for example) please have the backpack colors change to match the glider! Just bought the Shining Blade combo thinking I’d finally have a backpack/glider that worked with all my alts armor colors and was very disappointed.

Echoing an idea I just saw from another thread.

What inspires this the most is the Shadow Raven Tonic, pop that thing while gliding, it looks amazing, this would have been my favorite glider in the game.

I’m suddenly in love with the idea of a glider that transforms a character into a flying thing, rather than just giving spreadable wings. Raven-totem Norn 100% about this.

Oh and holographic wing sets and watchwork backpacks as glider skins please

Many alts; handle it!

We need a ‘random glider’ option (just like thecrandom finisher option)

Why?;

As gamer i have to decide what skin i want and stick with it, that’s boring

You as a-net, when most gamers buy just one or two gliders, you won’t earn more gems – but when players could ‘collect em all’ gliders will always be valuable (may it be a new pvp/fractal glider, gem gliders or black lion chest gliders)

Just one thing, don’t include the boring standard glider or at least give it a way smaller chance to pop up as glider

A marionette glider! Just some (bulky) strings that go waaaaaay up into the sky and maybe at the end a floating marionette control thingens (with WASD on the end parts of that controll wood X)

Maybe a backpiece out of the marionette control thingens, with the anination of jumping waaaaay up when we glide and anination that snaps that thing back when we stop gliding!

(And make the bulky strings on our arms/legs etc dyable)

A tornado that covers the feets and parts of the hip!

Rockets at your feets as boosters!

Wing shoes like hermes had (they got a greek shoe skin instead of a backpack with big wings that grow even bigger with the flight animation – think of 80% of the bird glider wings, attached on the feeds)
