Ghastly.3914 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Very poignant point actually. The same way they've been reworking some of the mounts like Skyscale and Warclaw Solution: I would love to see gliders reworked in the next expansion so you can actually fly with them horizontally and downwards in glider mode. So like a jetpack in a way. This way it doesn't step on skyscale and griffon. How do you all feel about this suggestion? 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KindredPhoenyx.8976 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) > Complains about wings and we don't have flying. > Gliding. It's a form of flight. Ergo, they do have a use, even if limited. Y'all.

Danikat.8537 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I have two pairs of wearable wings in real-life - one set of feathered 'angel' wings and one set of bat wings. Neither of them allow me to fly either, they're just costume pieces and the same is true of the wings in GW2. 12 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Calaway.9718 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 They're Chicken Wings. Also due to inflation it's not 2 cents, it's 8 cents now. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You answer your own question: it's for aesthetics. This game isn't referred to as Fashion Wars for nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy wing back pieces in RL as well, you know? And guess what, you can't use them to fly.... You can't even glide with them..... What's the point? Fashion of course. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, wings in games are often gimmicks for aestetics, like many other things. You can always give aion a try. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiof.5710 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 The next thing you'll say is that my Star Trek uniform doesn't mean I'm in Starfleet! This reeks of Romulan misinformation! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeTect.5918 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 If I was a Penguin I would feel scammed. They wasted so many gems and still can't fly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noidea Incognito.9607 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 (edited) While we are fantasizing about infinite flight time backpacks we are missing out on the opportunity to opt for Skateboards, roller skates, Pogo sticks and Hacky Sack as well.

Mystflower.7319 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I think we can only use them to glide because they secretly clipped the wings 🐦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"...can't even use it except glide..."??? How do you think gliding works? Some sort of membrane stretched between sticks, or feathers on a hollow bone structure. Have you ever seen an animal gliding without wings or membranes? Glider skins emulate exactly what they're supposed to be. Also, how are penguins, ostriches, kiwis, cassowaries and emus and all their flightless relatives supposed to feel after that comment? Nobody ever thinks about their feelings. 🥺 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightcore.5621 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I have suggested that we get a skyscale skin where only you use the wings that is in game on you where there are no mount 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
