Lazarus.4105 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 So I made a little preview of the new glider! Isn't it great?Personally I think the gliders that are not really gliders are better. Your thoughts? Also how is everyone liking the new forums???? Check out the video because I'm a self promoting YouTuber >.> (don't hurt me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaaba.5672 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I see the appeal of this glider and yeah, it's kind of awesome. I'm just soured a little by the trend to introduce new bigger and flashier gliders after following a few HP trains lately. A single one is super fun and looks great, but most of the time others are around you when gliding, even if it's not a coordinated group. You never know when there's someone behind you trying to make the same landing that I am now obscuring. I find that I feel guilty using my raven glider in general and won't pull it out anymore, so I certainly won't be getting this one. (even if I secretly crave it's glory) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having people in front of you using those oversized, overly flashy gliders is really painful for the eyes (and causes headaches for some people).The worst part, though, is the inconvenience of not being able to see what's in front of you, hence missing a target spot where you wanted to land. It's as bad as with all those oversized, flashy back items (especially having someone wearing them during jumping puzzles). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I bought the glider, and like it, but it's one that I will only be using for special occasions. The problem with many of the coolest-looking gliders is that they block your own view when you are trying to make a tricky landing. Nothing like being in a jumping puzzle, trying to perch on a tricky ledge, and suddenly having a face full of oriental carpet and no visibility at all. Fortunately there are low-key gliders you can switch to for planned activities, but if you are unexpectedly attempting to land in a tight spot, it seems to me that staring into a flaming ball of rock would make things that much more difficult.

Electro.4173 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Its neat looking overall, but... its really huge. I mean, riding a meteor it can't be super tiny or it'd look ridiculous, but I feel like it could have been a little smaller at least. Also, the name is just unfitting IMO. I mean, technically yes, its a rock and that's technically geomancy of a sort. But lets be honest here, its a meteor. Why not just call it the Meteor Glider? I was expecting something completely different when I first saw the name (something more like just surfing on a slab of rock, kind of like Tempest Earth Overload except floating).

Tesla Eot.1469 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It's annoying and special effects need to be toned way down. Also need an option to turn off infusions/effects from other players.I bought it. I'll almost never use it. Even Raven's is much better than this one, it flashes once but then the effects get toned down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MixolydianGray.6578 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I wasn't impressed with the preview I saw in the store. Then again, I'm picky when it comes to glider skins. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by not having it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
