After watching a few replies on this thread I think I should probably add a few bits to the discussion.
I have to plain out agree with Sameth when it comes to the wings though. They have been close to promised to be implemented into the game, taking that away now wouldn't make any more happy, nor would it really be fair to these users really looking forward to them. To me, this does sound like a well enough reason already to keep following up with the plan and add them to the game.
A wise person told me not too long ago that if wings are made, why not make it for looks only?(Similar to Bornes post). They also said that having a physics engine that prevents you from walking up mountain walls etc would loose it's purpose since you'd just be able to fly to places you were not meant to be in the first place, and I agree on this as well. <--That however WILL loose the sparkle to the wings in some peoples eyes, why? Because not everyone playing the game will use/want the wings because they look pretty or because it would be more suitable for their made up dragon char, they want it to actually be able to fly around and maybe even get to these odd places you regularly can't.
This whole wing subject is certainly something that will not please everyone, but there's not many things that does either.
To share my actual opinion, no. I do not wish for wings. I find them extremely out of place if they'd be added into FH, but also(This is not to be mean), experiences from IT gives me the feel of that users flying around with wings or does wear wings always see themselves as more important for some reason, or the fact that new uses fly around like complete spazzes thinking it's the best thing since buttered bread, and these are usually not the users that would be ok with just "having" wings, not the actual fly function.
Though.. What is the fun part in having a car without the keys aye?
Thing is, if I'm going to look on a more general aspect of the wings and this community, I really do think it should be added, and this is not only because it were announced a while back. FH pretty much need any interesting content or ideas that are up for grasp. If this game is going to be more fun, interesting and entertaining for the average user, then we wouldn't want to miss up or something like this. As mentioned before, possibilities would be opened up to a new level inside the game, and even though I do not like some of the things that will most likely arrive with these wings, it will even out and be for the better cause me alone is not the community.
True supporters of the game that logs on the game as much as they can will not walk away because of a thing like wings being added, they will still be able to be who they want to be and play the way they want to as well, while on the other side, new users arriving might find them one of the reasons why they like the game. I think this will be like a progress of wearing into a pair of new shoes, so I'd say give them ze wingz.
This might be trailing off the topic slightly, but I do believe the game could always be modified to make this whole wing idea better if something turns out bad.
Lets think general questions that might arrive?
I want to make a map that has hills and mountains you must climb up a certain way, or platforms I do not wish people to fly to, but now they can just equip wings and fly there *ubersadface*
Why not make a map maker function that lets you allow flying with wings, or deny flying with wings? It's the user made map after all.
Flying with wings gives some users unfair advantage *ubersadface*
Why not introduce a stamina bar into the game along with removing the auto run and use a sprinting like in most games. Winged characters will not be able to sprint, while others without will be able to run faster. It shouldn't be something hard to put into the game if hunting was added. Kov even though about adding a "dash" function? I assume this is for the wingless characters.
If time and thought is placed into things, this wings situation will not kill anyone, and there's so much more that can be done with them. As long as you kov want to actually make them it should get it's own lil place inside the game, even though I plain out wouldn't want to wear them.
