I'm just raising this questions for a friendly debate, and because I want to hear what others have to say. Since the addition of wings in FH, many have been hit by a wing-craze. Everywhere you go, you see felines and canines with wings. Yet some have not caught this craze and think that wings and items (like the Christmas hat Kovu also added) will ruin the game, turning it into yet another Impressive Title.
My thoughts on the controversy is that the wing-craze will end after everyone gets used to them. Like the release of the game, everyone was crazy. Eventually this will die down and things will go back to normal. After all, this has been one of the biggest update since the release of the game. Also, on items: So far, the only item you can have is the Santa hat, so why would hackers try to get more items if everyone has them? I mean, I think Kovu has learned by now what works and what doesn't, so he's not going to give the hackers anything to hack. So far, I'm not going to go too deep into the items issue, because we don't know if Kov will add any more items.
Please, reply and tell me your view on wings and items in Feral Heart!

in the thread that KovuLKD posted about wings, someone pointed out that no one in IT ever got over wings, and that was there almost from teh very start. What makes FH so different, especially when people have been craving and begging for them forever. Wings are not something people just get over. This wing craze will not stop. there might be a small few more people with wingless characters eventually, but we will still be swarmed with winged characters.
Also, from what I have seen in screenshots (I haven't installed teh patch yet) the wings are just as bad as they were in IT, no detail, nothing good looking about them. They seem to fold better, but they are not nice looking at all, and do not suit the character models at all in my opinion.

i totally agree with Kyugima here. The wings craze wont die out. When i actually played the game almost everyone there had wings. This wolf came up to me and asked me why my character didnt have wings. It was like shes was saying it was weird for me not to have them. I actually tested the wings out in Preset maker and the wings do not suit the models at all. The models look more on the realistic side, the wings dont. Maybe kov should think about upgrading the wings in the future to make them look better not just a flat mesh with a texture on it. Something more like what super is doing for arokai's wings.

I've been a member of FH since May 30, 2011 at 10:26 a.m. I have tried out the wings one time, for 2 minutes. I have grown to love the old FH way better than the winged version. There are some people that have been here longer than me that loves the wings, but some are newbies that didn't get to see how fun wingless characters could be. I finally read some warrior books the other day and I want to be in my very first warrior rp. I couldn't find any. I've tried finding unrealistic WINGLESS wolf rps, but still, no luck. I love FH, it's my favorite game in fact. But I don't know if I want to go in-game anymore because I want to rp, and a good rp is hard to find now.

I think I'll stick to the wingless side of FH.... :D But I agree... the wing craze WILL NOT STOP. Some of my chars are winged... but only two.... because of what they are.... Transformers.. JET transformers... And I do agree with the more realistic wing idea too. The wing are evn LESS detailed then IT's! And, Brittany? I have a wingless wolf rp. I just gotta use the wolf char more... XD Add me as a friend.. username is cherrytimebomb. :D I'll invite you if you want!
-
I'm starting to rethink my statement about the wing-craze, thank you for all giving your opinions!
Also, I agree with the unrealisticness of the new wings. There are barely any detail, and they do not fold very well. When I make a winged character lay down, I find it very messy looking. I think the concept of flying is a good one for fantasy roleplays, but the way it is shown in this game does not give it justice. I'm interested to see how Aro' Kai do wings with their owl and gryphon models.
-
I've seen arokai's models. :D I follow the maker on DeviantArt, and, I must say, they are IMPRESSIVE! They have much more detail then FH and they fold perfectly, though the gryphon is a little strange...
-
Im sorry, i am staying with the wingless side of FH. I mean, if wings get better texture and fold against the characters bodies? i'd have more then one or two winged. Im afraid to find what has become of rp's when i come back to FH.
-
wings have already changed FH
-
No wingless rps can be found. D: I have awingless warriors rp WITH a map, but I never uploaded the map to Mediafire, so it never got going. I WILL be doin that now that FH is just another IT. D':
-
i actually think that the wings craze will die out at some time and you'll see just as much wingless animals as much as animals with wings.a lot of people are using wings right now and the FH sky might look like my window when birds are going south for the winter but thats because that the wings are new. that's just my opinion though
-
i think the new wings were fun at first, but now with the WingedFH, things began to get a little more supernatural. even fan chars who dont have wings (like Gin from the Ginga series) had wings. there are no more rps that dont involve wings and almost everyone has wings. i only saw 4 wingless wolves. i also saw a flying banana....but i agree they were cool at first, but now they're just...
-
Wings changed LONG time ago my friend. Back in IT wings were constant. But enough about IT.
FH now has more fantasy Roleplays than realistic. Almost as if realistic is a dying breed when it comes to wings in FH. Heck, even I have a character with wings... Mainly for roaming around though.
Anyways, people might lose interest because they can't find their type of RPs. People won't be able to keep groups up since everyone likes wings now. I do think it'll calm down, within a few months.
For items, I think they're not much of a big deal. Nothing bad here, though I'm looking forward to new items if it continues!

I find the wings take the "feral" out of "FeralHeart". This game was suppose to be more realistic, but after the wings, fantasy RPs and winged RPs barge in. I have seen some ads for wingless RPs in Flourite, but rarly. Yes, I do actually have 2 winged characters, but that's because they are speices with wings. Wings were pretty cool in IT, but in FH, I feel wings are becoming overrated.
Now, for the items, I feel it's not a problem. It's better than in IT where everyone was fighting for items. I actually like the items better than the wings.
Just giving my opinion, I'm not wanting to start a fight.

.Personally I think it will die down after awhile. Kovu added them due to popular demand I belive just like the same reason he added the wolf model. However, there are many realstic lion/big cat or wolf/canine rps out there but there more in there own private sector aka there own map. I do think this phase may change fh in the more general areas such as bonfire or fluorite but as a whole FH is so diverse I really dont think it would really make a great change to the game.
However, items i think kill it. This game was meant to be more realistic, and animals running around with items? idk seems a bit much. It dosent kill the game but the idea of realism does and to go back to my earlier point if alot more realistic rps are in their old map then when new comers come looking for reality it may confuse them. In the end its a 50 50 thing but itll sure die down after a while.
My personal opinion if wanted, I liked fh before they added wings and items. I been a member since January 6th 2011 and I liked the natural feel to the game but to each his own. I like my pride realistic and my character but others may not be into that. So just like the others thats why my rp is held more in our own map but I agree with you all, I prefer the wingless FH as well.
-
I believe this wing-craze will, slowly, die down. I've been able to find a few wingless rps, but most are winged or both winged and non-winged. I'm in an RP where both are allowed...I am one of the two wingless members of my group. It's pretty sad actually xD
Back to the subject: wings. I cant comment about IT here, as I have never played it. But I've seen videos and pictures. I think the wings look a little better...i mean...they aren't 2D like some of the ones in IT looked.
Stay on the subject, Larka! - Wings...I have only three winged chars, but two of them should have wings because of their species. I mean come on, you can't blame someone if they have a dragon char or some other winged species. I know they could make a normal lion instead, but maybe they dun like lions or wolves or whatever xD. So yes, wings have definitely changed the game. It's taken most of the realism out of it.
But since when was FeralHeart realistic?
If the game were truly realistic, we wouldn't have blue wolves and red lions running around. And some of the maps don't contribute to any realism, either. I'm pretty sure there aren't any islands with floaty platforms made for climbing in the real world. So in conclusion, I dun mind the wings, even though I dont use them a lot. Fly as you will.
As for the items? I dun care about them either, as long as you don't need to find them randomly around maps. I'd absolutely hate to see FH turn into a pointless, item-obsessed game.

well in the FH trailers (or something like that with them talking?) they said it wouldn't matter if they where green,blue, or even neon. it still kept the concept of feral
-
Well it's not very realistic xD That was just a point I wanted to get across. Purple tigers may be considered feral, but not realistic :3 But that's just my opinion.
-
I've been playing feral heart for a long time and I must say that I LOVE that we are able to use wings now. I hope you add more items we could use on our characters because that would be totally AWSOME!!! :D
-
I Will agree with the others here that the wing craze will never disappear and that the wings themselves don't actually suit the models, I myself add wings to my characters to make them at least look like my characters(because some of them have wings in my drawings of them) even though they still look inaccurate(due to the wing textures and I still need to make my presets)
I think the item equip option to be better than the old 'hunt them down' thing as it'll stop people whining about being unable to get certain items(unless I missed something in the time I've been away from FH).
-
My thoughts on the controversy is that the wing-craze will end after everyone gets used to them.
I have already gotten over them, I was some what excited to have the wings a few months ago, but not Im not that excited of them now so Im over them already, I have a few characters with them but a lot of them dont have wings.
anyways,
I like the items somewhat, but I hate that theres just one item but since its new years the christmas hat is not very well. but I dont know if Kovu will make more items.
-
This is a very late reply, but I just have to say something. I believe the reason we have all these flying creatures is because this game is populated by younger people, 'sparkledog/cat' type of people, or those crazy people who obsess over winged wolves and cats. I honestly believe adding wings was unnecessary. Just because people were craving wings, they were added. People have to learn that they can't always get what they want. The title of this game is FERALheart. When I think of FERAL, I think of real and wild animals. Not flying sparkledogs. I don't mind the gryphon/dragon roleplays, but seeing winged wolf after winged wolf? Oh yeah, even those Ginga or whatever characters. Even THEY have wings now! What the heck? Its very hard to find a semi-realistic or realistic roleplay without wings.
-
Well, a necro-thread has been necro'd so I guess I'll get back in.
I disagree, actually. I find the wings to be a good addition to the game and gives people more opportunity to make their characters as creative as possible. It's certainly added a different factor to my own characters, and I quite like it. New personality traits are possible because of the wings addition.
The fact that people wear wings and make sparkle-dogs doesn't mean that without wings there would be no eye-sores. Eye-sore characters have been around since the beginning and before, taking away or giving them wings doesn't mean that will change or even get worse.
If someone wants to keep it fully realistic, then they're best going to WolfQuest.

Looks like I don't know how to reward wings...
