Background picture clearly shows wings jutting out of the paragons back. Although the paragon is considered the "guardian angel" of the Elonas, will any of our characters we make have coolio wings, maybe to simply hover an inch off the ground? In the later game, can we get wings? Or perhaps, the CE will allow this, along with a feature for the Dervish.

Perhaps FoW armor, or more likely, 15k armor for the Paragon.

Why would Anet put that on the site, if they had no intention whatsoever of actually putting this awesome thing in-game?

My guess is if it happens, it will be either FoW or CE, and a special feature for both Dervish and Paragon, even though they did not do this for the Sin/Rt.

It would be really cool to have wings on the 15k/fow paragon armors, but I heard it was only when you use certain skills that have a wings/rising animation.

But 15k/fow paragon armors should have wings, it would make nightfall so much more worth getting.

Suppose to have wings when they cast echos and chants. Guess they aren't done with it.

Totally agree, one of the reasons I want to make a Paragon is so I can have wingz....

Yeah, with certain Paragon skills, you were supposed to hover in the air, and sprout wings.

We already saw the hovering in the air part with some of the skills this weekend, such as Flame Anthem. They just might not be done with the wings yet.

Personally I'd prefer to have feathered appendages jutting from my back, rather like an angel, than a late 80's Mac spreadsheet program.

Then again, I am an old pedantic, cantankerous git.

Are there any special emotish things planned for the Dervish anyone can remember?

I thought I heard someone say they would float when casting AoE spells...

While casting they rise off the ground (same as necros) and sprout little wings. I doubt wings will be a part of any armors.

Maybe the CE emote will involve wings.... or just more backup dancers.

Same reason for everything, to make us want the game by over glorifying things.

I sure as hell hope the paragons dont have stupid wings.

The pic on the Guildwars.com official site looks freaking stupid. They should have used the paragon male from the GWFC tournament (on the walls) its much better.

I have been saving shards and ectos for a long long time, and if the FoW paragon armor has wings then its all going toward my Dervish instead.

edit- the little concept of "guardian angel" is getting kind of old and redundant. But if more ppl buy nightfall due to that, then more power to Anet ftw. Not trying to offend anyone- we all have our opinions...

If they DO have wings on certain armour I hope they AREN'T FoW armour exclusive. They should be on 15k armours too, just make the FoW wings either a different colour, bigger, or both.

I think 15k Paragon's should have some sort of wings varying from armor to armor. Paragon FoW should have Chaos wings that are animated and flap and move a little bit all the time. When you dye your armor your wings change color...

I really think the only wings you will see/get are when you are casting spells or chants, because if they give you static wings that are attached to your back they would have issues with other classes wanting something they can show off too (and you know people will

).

in Anet's defense, the NPCs get unique armor so they stand out in a crowded city.

and those 2 renderings are...what do you call it outdated

I hope the wings are limited to casting animation. I would hate it if my Paragon had wings all the time, it would look rediculous.

Sort of like the male necro hunchedback? Or the female ele's ET-like neck? Etc.

Don't rely on rediculousness/hideousness to save us

I wouldn't mind if they somehow incorporated it as a feature of the headpiece since you have the option to turn that off.

I wanted wings, the Magnorite Paragon has wings, and that was shown in the gameplay video of Nightfall. ANyways, if you really want wings for your paragon... give him some redbull?

Glowing eyes and wings...

"Look, guys! im a god! über leet!"

Adding those would look pretty lame. Especially wings. Random n00bs would prefer them just for the looks. How it feels to see stupid comments from players which have glowing eyes and wings? Adding wings to FoW armor would increase the amount of eBayers, that is sure.

Now I know WoW is apparently evil (hmm lol) and all that...however one thing I really think they've done well is making high level armor (aka our 15k / FOW) look good and stand out. On the subject of wings, I think something similar to what they did on the priest "Faith" Tier 3 set might fit quite well:

More particle effects on armor ftw! heh

That's where I got too, and it made more sense to me, I played a male Paragon during the PvP weekend and generally their skill animations were... goofy.

Now a lot of that would be explained (and might come into balance) if some wings were involved and made them move that way. Either way though I have to look at a female Paragon...

So why is it there are usually MANY more viable options for the ladies, but usually only a couple, if your lucky, for the guys? With simply ugly/alien/freakish taking the lionshare out of the choices?

This is any chapter for the most part, and there are exceptions... I suppose.
But I see my male monks face everywhere (and I rerolled in Cantha) and my warrior the helmet always shows.
And my necro... well he's a necro ok

This random noob here would like wings though i doubt it will be likely. And yes i will work towards it with ingame means even if it's only on FoW. And what is it to you anyways since we all know its a game of skill not looks Riiiiiight?? Since when have we started to care about what others brag about themselves on this forum or in games anyways.

Well theres mentions of a quest/misson which we will be able to use wurms as temporary mounts and as part of the gameplay in Nightfall. I have made similar suggestions when there was debates about mounts at one point in time as well.

Sorry but Narrow mindness and Pseudo Altruistic posts that try to dictate how a game should or should not be, is disgusting and a discussion killer.

Edit for grammer.
