Title: Wings And Flying In General
Post by: artistgrl8 on March 27, 2012, 11:02:45 pm
(I don't know if there is a thread for this, so feel free to let me know if there is.)
FH is not a game I play regularly, and when I came back to find wings added, I was like OH YEAH! For awhile, most people loved the novelty of the new equip, and lots and lots of people used it. Nowadays, it is rare for me to see someone with wings. However, since I don't get on a lot, I am still amazed with the novelty of the wings, and make almost all of my new characters with them. What about you? Amazed with the novelty still? Don't really care? On the fence? Do you like it when people fly? Do you like flying? I'm interested in peoples' opinions on this.

I'd like the wings more, if they didn't look so....bad and had a better flight animation.

I honestly love flying though im always using my wingless characters most of the time. If the wings were more realistic, looks and animation then i would be using them.
I dont mind people flying around me but when they sit next to me or something their big bulky wings just take up so much room. I usually have someones wing slicing into my character.

I don't really like wings, if they weren't so square with pointy edges, unrealistic or if they had a better animation and wouldn't ''slice'' into other characters, then I'd even use them once in a while.
But the main reason why the wings have such a poor look and animation is probably because the players demanded them, and Kov had to release the current ones. I do hope that he fixes them in the future.
I have one winged character that I almost never use. Although I don't mind if other people fly around or just have wings for the looks. Do I like flying? No, not really.. it's slower than dash-running and whatnot.

I do not really mind the wings since they do not look or feel any worse than they used to back in IT.
Not to slide off topic but I do find the dash ridiculous since you can dash, dash and dash into infinity. The dash is not only too fast and too long, but you can dash countless of times without no sign of stopping it. Not a big fan of it, but still use it since it's so convenient to use when getting to places.
Wings work, but I do not like that the game aren't able to update the character positions properly, so users flying or hovering kinda get a skippy/laggy movement. This might be being picky though since I find other things in the game that need changes and additions. In general I say it does it's job for now.

Though I rarely use them (I don't spend much time outside the wingless RP I run), I actually really enjoy having wings. I mostly use them for one gryphon character that I use a lot on the plains, and to be honest I thought the animation for the wings themselves was very well done, in a stylized sort of way.
That said, the flight pose still really bugs me; it looks unnatural and... kind of 'rigor mortis-y' when you're hovering. I continue to hope that it, the running animations, and the noodle-legs sitting problem will eventually be fixed.

Yeah, I agree with you. Nobody wants to look like a flying zombie. ;D

The wings in IT kinda takes up the screen but feral heart wings don't really do that.

I'm not a big fan of the wings- mainly because of the way they look and animate (I have a much more detailed thread on this: HERE (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=19808.0))
I don't think Feral heart should be devoid of wings- or anything, it's just, in my opinion- they need work.. alot of work...

I like the wings a lot (though I don't usually use them), and I love how it opens up a lot of doors for people who want to create fantasy creatures, dragons especially. However, the incorrect anatomy of the wings does bother me a little.

People mainly use the wings to get to places you can't get to without wings but there are a few ways to get to places like so without wings by dashing a lot. But dashing still sometimes makes you more vulnerable to falling off a high place and having to restart or how you can go inside of things then fall through or just get stuck and be clueless where to go to get out. Wings are slower than running and when people hover over me it makes me feel like they are stalking especially when they follow me around, thinking I can't see them or hear them. The wings' animation isn't so good and they look kind of bad but a little editing could make them look better. I'm not dissing the wings I'm just saying how annoying it is sometimes.

I would like them better if they were more realistic... I don't mind them though. I just wish they gave you an advantage over wingless characters..

In a sense, like I believe Silver stated, they do give an advantage over wingless characters. Both in game mechanics and roleplay. For example, a character with wings is going to be able to fly on top of meshes that those without would have to pick their way up. ( I say this because no matter the size of my character, I can /not/ get on to the rock on Cape Island without falling through if I am not walking). Meanwhile, my one winged character allows me to swoop in with no fall throughs. Roleplay advanteges would be obvious, in addition to what Amb said in an earlier post, it gives options. Also like others mentioned I find the anatomy lacking, both in movement and position-wise.
I do not care for wings unless I've fallen to a place even Prnt Scrn can't help me (Skyrim). Otherwise I do not use them.

The first time I saw wings on FeralHeart I got really excited, but then it got a little boring. But if people haven't demanded them so much, they wouldn't be so crappy, so don't blame Kovu for that. :-\ Then again, if the wings were given more detail, moved less choppy and maybe even have some markings on them, I would've been way more interested in them. Of course, I would also like it if the bat wings looked a bit more like bat wings, with the webby feeling and stuff. ;D

Yea, the wings arent the greatest looking, i dont care for the un natural look on natural looking characters~ But still glad we have em XD considering we werent suppose to. But any update on them might be nice XD

Honestly, I'd rather things like the running animation were fixed first. I can live with the wing animation for now if other problems are getting fixed (not that they necessarily are).

I agree with that, although many things need to be fixed :C

I love the wings. But I prefer wingless characters. I use them for some characters. Heck, I have an albatross character!

It's Wonderful but unrealistic stiff flying motion and like ur sitting next to and umbrella or knife lol.

Well I think wings could be more realistic. Also when I''m flying my character looks like she started to jump but froze lol I laugh everytime. But when I added wings it made her look like a goddess.

I confess that I'm not fond of the wings. They feel paper-y and too square-ly shaped for my liking. The flying animation also appears to just be a recycled animation of the jump animation.. which is peculiar. However I'm not bothered by other people using them.
And I agree, Red. The dash, while useful for getting around, is a tad ridiculous.

As soon as the wings came out I was like "OH CYRIOUSLY YEA BUDDEH" and I made like 20 characters with wings. I spent probably an hour flying just about the tree tops. I also LOVE it when you fly just above the water and one foot is touching the water and you see the water rings around it :) its so pretty <3 I have seen a lot less characters with wings, myself included. After reading this thread however, Ill probably get on one of my characters and fly again.

The only reason I don't really care for the wings is 1. They are sort of...funny looking. 2. You can't use dash anymore, and are thus very slow moving 3. It makes your char look a little awkward.
