I was watching Woodenpotatos latest video when I noticed a segment where he was gliding while wearing the white wings. Now there has already been calls to make the White and Black wings double as glider skins but while watching Woodenpotatos, you’ll notice at some point due to the angle you can’t see the glider – just the wings, I realized that all you need is a transparent glider skin.

I don’t care if it is a gem store skin but with a transparent glider skin we suddenly can present and we are being propelled by : the white and black feathered wings, the jet pack, the holographic wings, the shattered holographic wings, sunless wings and even the spinal blades!

According to data mining, we are also set to get butterfly wings and dragonfly wings. So I think it only makes sense to have a transparent glider skin that allows us to pretend we are gliding using our backpacks! Anyway, it’s just an idea but I hope its one that Anet will implement!

My brain is shagging under the weight of changes… having six characters was not a good idea!

’Aviator’s glider’ with arms outstretched and airplane noises, maybe?

Gone for good after Halloween 2Ø12.
A shame fun things could not simply be fun.

That might have been a bug. I seem to remember my backpack disappearing when gliding in the first beta. I had the black wings on.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

I watched others gliding, and, indeed (unless it was a bug), I saw both the wings and the glider on characters.

I think we’ll see a looong parade of glider skins on the cash shop, come HoT.

Since they are already have glider skins in game I think it that was a bug. Having both skins show is going to detract from the glider skin.

Stealth gliding. I think it’s level 4 or 5? You attain that and you’ll have your transparency.

I assume you are joking but for clarity, I am pretty sure stealth gliding means you are just invisible. I am talking about having a glider skin that shows off the back piece.

I’d be throwing gems at this if it was an option.

Maybe someone will put down an aviatior toy next beta and you can try it out. Might be quite funny.

It’s a bug as they will have and already do have skins for gliders. Some one else posted asking for a gem item to let them use current winged back items as a glider skin. No action taken.

Also, never ever ever take data mining as fact, it’s more like fiction really! I have seen the same place holder skins show up as a new skin ever since day one of guild wars 2 data mining. Most of it is bunk. Just wait and see…….cuz you will!
