Josiah.2967 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 PSA: The wings will cause a huge FPS drop. You have been warned.I just wanted to give a shout out to whoever designed this item.1.) They are dyable (backpack/glider)2.) They flap when you jump3.) They are feathered wings that are different (Phoenix wings)4.) The dye channels are fantastic5.) The trail effect while gliding is a nice touch6.) The transition from jumping to gliding is smoothWell done! I do not regret the 70 keys it took me to acquire.

Kassablanca.5821 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 or u can wait 4 months to buy it from the vendor for 60 statuettes. They should put it on the vendor right away since we wasted so many keys not getting it from BLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witch of Doom.5739 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I also want to say that the design, dye channels, and animations are superb. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostfang.5109 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 But its unobtainable unless u are really lycky..... Spent all my keys no wings..... until a golden key! I have been asking for wings like that! Take my gems A-net.Edit: Now - I GOT THEM!!!! YAY!!! They look awsome!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solanum.6983 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 They've become my favorite item in the game so far. I've always wanted a pair of feathered wings that can be dyed. I'm currently going all white for a kind of angel look and it fits perfectly.My only issue with them is if you want to make them Black they still glow slightly white especially when gliding but other than that they are amazing.

Blur.3465 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I'm beyond impressed at the wings.However, I'm also beyond depressed as I won't be able to get my hands on those until after X months.I had no luck with keys.My friend gifted me 50 keys...I bought 30 more...No luck. :/ Here's how they look on my char in preview.https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/664924014782971907/737779313062969384/gw690.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Priestess.9760 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I wish I could try for them, but I made a large purchase recently, so I can't spend money for a while. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as long as there are people willing to spend hundreds of euro/dollars/pounds on chances to get them. I'll wait for the statuette version unless I get it from a map completion key.

Just like the Wyrm's breath cape, I find them not worthy to gamble for. The wings look over sized to me. I still prefer that Spellforged backpack. But, good luck to those who decide to go for it.

BlazingBoy.4172 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I definitely think they’re an amazing pair of wings so kudos to whoever designed them! I’m looking forward to having a play around with different looks with them! I must just have luck though because I got these and the Wyrm cape both with 70 keys ? but like everyone says it’s just a luck factor but I do agree some of these prestige items should be made purchasable with gems but I also like the exclusivity and nostalgia it brings with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choon.6308 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Wyrm's breath is way, way cooler and unique. I don't like wings so good thing I don't need to spend a dime for key gambling again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreams.3128 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I was actually trying to go for the Wyrm cape and I got the wings instead lmao. 50 Keys and still no cape ? But I've throughly enjoyed my time with the chests.This is what people need to realize: Know when to stop. Have some self control on your wallet, finances instead of assuming all boxes are the devil. Stop trying to aim for specific stuff and expecting to get it. If you don't want to gamble or don't trust yourself? Don't. For those that don't mind doing it for the kicks like me? Go for it.Right before this patch I also ended up getting the Seven Reaper Gauntlets and Monarch Dragon with 30 keys from last week (still no cape tho :<) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuriGashi.5617 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 And I love it. Thank you to ArenaNet and to the employee who designed them. It took luckily only 5 keys to get them =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chang the "Exclusive" to "Premium Chest Rewards". If you could sell them in the AH that would work.I have terrible luck. It took my 72 keys to get. I could of burnt 100 keys (which was my hard stop), and not got it. They got me. The problem is a lot of these keys were free and from key farming. They could get more from me by charging a premium 2000 gem option. Even if it's for one week alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josiah.2967 Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 You are so lucky. It took me 72 keys. I had a friend waste 250 keys and not get it. My fiance got it in 12. You can technically not get it in 1000 keys. Which is depressing. :-( I think you should always get a chose an uncommon reward at 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
