TwilightSoul.9048 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hello,You've all seen Spinal Blades Backpacks here and there and if you've played the game long enough seeing them probably carries some nice memories of a burning LA. Unfortunatly though, when you start gliding with them they suddenly disappear and turn into something very different. Wouldn't it be nice if you could actually use it's winglike structure with the - what seems to be a - jetpack? Well I would like that a lot!

Rauderi.8706 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Spinal Blades (with dyeable aura), Molten jetpack, Holographic and Shattered wings . . Make 'em all gliders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make 'em all gliders!I wholeheartedly agree with all of these. The only sticking point is the dyeable aura on spinal blades. Took me a while to craft all versions. Having said that, being able to choose any aura color would be a welcome change. Those skins would then all be duplicates of each other, though.Another thought:Make the aura dyeable only when all versions of the spinal blades are unlocked in the wardrobe. This gives more incentive to create all variations and doesn't negate the efforts already put in by players who have them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosifah.4738 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I've been hoping they'd make the spinal blades a glider since I made mine after Scarlet crashed her drill into LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaphia.9071 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I'd want that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sariel V.7024 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I've a feeling the reason we don't have these is because Gliders as a whole are not craftable. Basing a glider on a craftable item would cause a precedent ANet doesn't want to set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game of Bones.8975 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Just got my blades and I thought it WAS a glider combo after crafting.Boy, was I surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikal.4921 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I agree, Spinal Blades definitely have the look of a glider. I would love to see a glider counterpart (dyeable).Also Glittering Wings. They are "wings" after all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they don't.Molten Jetpack would be awesome as well, maybe then I could get myself to buy that, +we don't have a jetpack yet or do we?

DebraKadabra.5278 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I've been wanting a Spinal Blade Glider ever since gliding became a thing in game. Yes please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaxTheGreatOne.9472 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 yes please (remember gliders are dyable, so onlly 1 needs to be made :) Well at least for the Spinal blades ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those items are significantly different from Spinal Blades in that they are only craftable once, but then the skins can be freely applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiyanwan.8521 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Get some sticks over here - this dead horse got some more beating incoming.Since gliding became a thing, many people raised their voices and were hoping for a glider version of the spinal blades.Long story short - gliders are gem store exclusive (only exeptions are legendary backpacks). Funny enough, I would actually pay for a glider version of my shiny blue spinal blade - no dye channels needed, but nope - for some reason, ANet doesn't want to make easy money with assets that are already in game...

Phy.2913 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 It's always bothered me that you can't "earn" gliders, only buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwilightSoul.9048 Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 It wouldn't even bother me if we had to buy the Spinal Blades Glider from the trading Post, they could add the Orange Version to the TP and let us colour it with the Knight Cores so we actually have to do something to unlock all Colours.
