<p>*snerks* That works too.  Hence my suggestion of a pair of prismatic bat wings dropping from Kerafyrm whenever we finally get to face him.</p>

<p>This is /facepalm awesome....</p><p>I never would have thought wings like this would be added to EQ2! You guys/gals at SOE really just go out there and "get'r done", eh. That's something to be proud of.</p><p>Thanks for the wings!</p>

[Crickett]

<p>Nice idea, the cost is holding me back though.....even when I consider "If I get them with my Illusionist would get two pair for the price of one".</p>

[Seryndipity]

<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> <span style="color: #00ffff;">Just my own 2 cp's worth: I am very selective about what I purchase from the SC store; when I saw these, the visual appeal and the concept behind using them did not appeal to me in the least. I'll just stick with my flying mount and be all the more happier for it. Thanks for reading SOE.</span></span></p>

<p>Somebody write up a playerbook on the lore for these wings <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>"Thus I traveled down the cookie road a chip of chocolate fell down from a tree.  I picked it up and ate at thee and after that I could fly...."</p><p>Powerful chocolate chips <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Or how about...</p><p>"As I was walking down the nek road I got hungry and decided to eat a shroom..." </p><p><img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Rainmare]

<p>They get to fly. there's a quest already in, and thier ability to fly without a 'mount' is probably what allowed this wings to be possible in the first place.</p>

[shots01]

<p>So the fae/arasai (sp) who have to wait till lvl 85/86 then read the lore and follow the traditions of their ancestors, and who have to spend about an hour or so, earning their wings...</p><p>now get to see some human or whomever is not fae/arasai....just go and buy them?</p><p>I don't think so.</p>

[Therendil]

<p>They don't need lore or a storyline as long as there is money to be made. It's realistic to assume that the majority of players, especially the ones lured in by F2P, will never know or care about roleplaying or the Norrath story arc. So they'll snap these up no matter how little sense they make.</p>

<p><span style="color: #00cc00;">Lore for flying? Okay, Th threw myself at the ground and...I missed...Yes my aim is that bad!</span></p>

[Tyrus Dracofire]

<p>we need new lore for winged "Planars race (Celestials) and Styxians (Hellspawns)" from other sphere of domains.</p><p>yes, i agreed with few folks concerning the price of wings, it's too high. that is insane so that is avoidable to buy.</p><p>it make SOE very greedy and that days are now numbered, the end is coming but when?</p><p>i can only afford monthly sub, but spending for 100 bucks? i am trying to save for my car, home can often feel like prison when dont have a car, specialty living in small town that dont have city buses.</p>

Everyone, even those who buy these wings off the marketplace, have to wait til 85 to be able to actually fly; there is absolutely no reason for arasai / fae to be able to at level 1. Also, arasai / fae simply have to do a quest to use theirs, these cost money -- so that complaint also holds no water.</p><p>For those who keep complaining about lore, according to lore fae / arasai wings could not support flight, only hovering. They changed it due to customers badgering them for it, same goes for actual wing mounts -- there is NO difference. And lore is easily created for anything; those claiming "so now humans etc suddenly sprouted wings?" -- no, these are mounts, not a part of the person, that appear to be attached when in use.</p>

My suggestion is this... 1) add new options for the wing designs for both fae and arasai and 2) either drop the flight quest and  automatically give them flight at level 85 or... better yet either make a lower level quest to gain flight (like level 50) or just make flight something they have from the start. Yes there will will be some who will try to use the mechanic to avoid certain situations but really... that's no different from those who use stealth to avoid them.</span></p>

A quest to offer flight prior to 85, as with all other races, is not. The mere fact that fae races were granted the quest to fly without a mount was a slap in the face to all those who play for the lore of the game, as the lore did not allow that their wings were strong enough to support it.</p><p>Bottom line: if having to do an hour long quest to attain flight for free to fly with wings, as a fae race, at 85 offends you so much then buy the SC wings and fly for free! lol</p>

I have two characters who have been around long enough and experienced enough in-game lore to warrant the generation of wings. Allow me to elaborate:</p><p>A. Baderik Darkshadows, my Ratonga Necromancer.</p><p>    When the Void Storms first began appearing on Norrath, Baderik was one of the first to begin investigating their origins and the extent of their power. In his investigations, he was accidently sucked -into- one of the Void Storms, vanishing from Norrath for a period of time. After he emerged (from another storm vortex, in another part of Norrath entirely) he began exhibiting strange abilities, traced to his direct prolonged exposure to high levels of Void energy. The most prevalent was his ability to 'absorb' the forms of others (RP'ed using various petrified eyes and illusion items). This power developed from mimicry to full-bore shapeshifting...he can alter his shape -at will-. As such, he can manifest things that would normally not be possible, such as -fully functional bat-like wings-.</p><p>B. Torryn Woodsrunner, my Feir'Dal Ranger</p><p>    Torryn has been a Faydark Champion, Sworn of Tunare, since the days of EQ1. His faith in the Mother of All has unwavered, even after the curse of Quarm threw him 500 years into the future (the story of his arrival in EQ2). Recent events in-game revealed the return of Fironia Vie, Tunare's First Chosen. Torryn participated in these events, and was altered to become a Scion of Growth, something I roleplay as far more than a simple title. He has powers relating to Tunare and Nature, one of those powers is the ability to manifest -fully funtional feathered wings-.</p><p>It's perfectly reasonable for those not born with wings to attain them. How they explain it is entirely up to them, but to say 'it's not fair' is just what appears to be elitist attitude and a poor adaptability to RP scenarios.</p>

My suggestion is this... 1) add new options for the wing designs for both fae and arasai and 2) either drop the flight quest and  automatically give them flight at level 85 or... better yet either make a lower level quest to gain flight (like level 50) or just make flight something they have from the start. Yes there will will be some who will try to use the mechanic to avoid certain situations but really... that's no different from those who use stealth to avoid them.</span></p></blockquote><p>Again: every single race in the game has to wait until level 85 to fly. EVERY SINGLE ONE. "oh noes, I have to quest for a WHOLE HOUR to fly for free" while someone who spends 20 bucks on SC can do it right away ALSO AT LEVEL 85.</p><p>NEWSFLASH, THIS JUST IN: every single person in the game has been able to bypass the flying quests at level 85 via SC since they released the first flying mount on the marketplace. The fact that these mounts have a winged appearance changes absolutely nothing; it is not suddenly any more or less fair than it was prior to wing mounts being released.</p><p><span style="color: #ff99cc;">It is NOT a slap in the face to winged races</span>: there have been wings available to ALL races for years now via LoN, SoL, etc. You mentioned it being a slap to those who rolled winged races "to have the specialness (lol) of a winged being back long before the quest to fly" -- again, these other wing sets have been available long before the quest to fly. Nothing has been taken from you - NOTHING. You still are the only true winged beings, you're no less (or more) special than you were prior to these being released.</p><p>More options for wing design for arasai / fae = a good idea, more customization options usually are. A quest to offer flight prior to 85, as with all other races, is not. The mere fact that fae races were granted the quest to fly without a mount was a slap in the face to all those who play for the lore of the game, as the lore did not allow that their wings were strong enough to support it.</p><p>Bottom line: if having to do an hour long quest to attain flight for free to fly with wings, as a fae race, at 85 offends you so much then buy the SC wings and fly for free! lol</p></blockquote><p>I disagree with you completely.  It IS a slap in the face to those beings who have had wings since birth.  I see no ogre or rat or any other race other than arasai and fae (maybe vampires but... hehe)  that were born with wings.</p><p>How all of a sudden are those OTHER races going to explain to the world how they got wings?  I'm sorry.  But its just not fair.  It IS a slap in the face to allow any other race that was NOT born with wings.......to suddenly have them.</p><p>You obviously are not a lore seeker.  I am to apoint and on this issue I stand firm.  NO OTHER RACE DESERVES TO HAVE WINGS AND FLY.................save for Fae and Arasai.</p><p>Running the quest at lvl 85 did NOT offend me.  YOU, a non fae/arasi having wings DOES.</p></blockquote><p>Four words for you.</p><p>A. Wizard. Did. It.</p><p>Those four words can answer so many questions.</p><p>Not to mention levitation(OMGFLIGHT) spells have been in the EverQuest universe since well before the Fae were ever even thought of.</p><p>I am an Illusionist. I have a levitation spell cast on me and I've grown illusory wings.</p><p>Happy? <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Non fae wings making arasai and fae less special? Whatever. I love my arasai and fae toons... but I also have non-flight wings on my kerra and some on a freeblood toon. There are more creatures in the (fantasy) world(s) that have wings, you know.</p><p>Remeber, this is a world of high magic. Like someone else said..

<p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Perhaps I would have less of a problem with it if two pairs of the non-flight wings (one quested and one sc) didn't bear such a striking resemblance to existing fae and arasai wing designs.</span></p><p><span style="color: #00ff00;">As of right now they have limited the flight wings to non-fae/arasai wing patterns but I doubt very much if that will continue to be the case.</span></p><p><span style="color: #00ff00;">I have a very vivid imagination (thank you trolls for the flame... it's actually cold here at the moment) but if I don't like something or disagree with something and say nothing, then I would have noone but myself to blame if other similar things were implemented on the mistaken believe that it didn't matter to me because I hadn't said anything.</span></p><p><span style="color: #00ff00;">Regardless of how another fae or arasai may feel about the wings I stand by my earlier statement. Non- fae/arasai having wiings makes my winged toons feel less special to me than they did when I rolled them. For the record I rolled them up long before there was a cash store or appearance items.</span></p><p><span style="color: #00ff00;">You are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine. </span></p>

<p>Wings have been in game for a long time. Shard of Love, the Facebook League of Legends game had them as a reward when that was around, Marketplace, etc etc. Now there's a couple pairs that do what wings were intended to do... Fly! Valkyries are been in game forever. They have wings. I put a pair of the pegasus wings on my new High Elf Paladin so I can role play her as a Valkyrie. If you don't like them don't buy them. The game is based on magic. Wizards and Warlocks, spells and curses, if you can't enchant wings to fly there's something wrong. </p>

I have to add the wing states to all the combat poses. Currently the wings are using default flying mount states which don't have all the various weapon stances thats why you aren't going back to the correct combat pose. The fae have their own combat folder which was hidden in a seperate location from the rest and I missed it, but it will all be fixed soon.</p>

Currently the wings are using default flying mount states which don't have all the various weapon stances thats why you aren't going back to the correct combat pose. The fae have their own combat folder which was hidden in a seperate location from the rest and I missed it, but it will all be fixed soon.</p></blockquote><p><strong>WOOT!!</strong> <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/ed515dbff23a0ee3241dcc0a601c9ed6.gif" border="0" />  I haz teh happiez now! <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" /> <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/e8a506dc4ad763aca51bec4ca7dc8560.gif" border="0" /></p>

Using the White plate armor from the marketplace with the Tiara of Thorn from LoN with the pegasus wings. She's my new favorite character to play now because she looks awesome. </p>
