Community Designed Microtransaction - Design Suggestions

Something like this one maybe. Suigintou from Rozen Maiden.







They are short as you can see but they can transform in certain situations. Would be nice to have wings that grow in size and protect you when CWDT triggers, for example. Or when you life goes below 10%. Or when you kill unique monsters.

A Stygian recolor of the Dragon Hunter Wings.

Something that would go well with the Breach Core Armour.

So I suppose we are paying for the commmunity cosmetics? Or are they being given to the community as a sort of thank you for playing the game?

I'd like to see wings that fit well with the Hex/Curse theme, as the closest we have currently is the Darkshard pair, neither of which are traditional wings and both of which have a more natural crystally look.

For inspiration think something a hag or a witch might wear or emanate. It should match the style of the in game graphics for Blasphemy Despair or Temporal Chains, Death Aura from Death's Oath, and Bane.

Can we get something like Rusty steel/copper wings? More in a format like angel wings but with missing feathers and such like wings from an old andoid angel.

Dark Wings - you mean like in "Watchmen" - a living, always moving Rorschach-Test - but on the back?

Yeah, that would be nice... ;)

First thing that came to mind was wings made out of hands rather than feathers a la The Surrender unique shield.

Would also be cool to get something lore-tied. Maybe something Kalguuran like a repurposed Triskelion Flame after it is broken. (Maybe something not quite as specific in the lore, but tied to a general time or place).

oooo maybe a rack of defeated god parts/limbs. XD

Oh, you sweet summer child.

I like this person's idea. I'd love a purple color choice also.

Catarina themed.

Interwoven vines/branches with lots of skulls.

Her soulburn skills have a unique palette, have the skulls occasionally burn in that green flame.

The old Bone wings are so out of date, like a budget version of Kerrigan wings. Having something like a combo of Catarina idea that or similar to with more arms that look like bones and scythes, combined with some decaying nature details like crown of thorns around the skulls or something.

Or alternatively ghost wings. We have a lot that looks like different energy colors but I don't think we have one that's ghostly and translucent.

The animations on many wings are held back by the walk and run cycles of the actual exile models. If my character looks like they've soiled themself at a half-jog, big back attachments with rigid bones and cloth simulations will just draw attention to that fact. I think this is the main cause of bad-looking "wing animations" as some others are saying.

Anyway.

Personally, I vote for the gargoyle idea. There's pretty good variety and representation for feathered wings, but webbed/bat/dragon wings have a poor track record for usability in combination with other MTXes. A neutral, particle-free version of the Breachlord wings might do the trick.

Also: don't pander to maximalists who want a mountain of clown vomit with sprinkles and a cherry on top. They may be whales, but they're also a tiny minority. You'll make more in the long run with slightly blander, more interchangeable elements.
