There's too many wings in gachas now.
For years, wings were rare and prestigious items. There were only a few kinds and they came out rarely, so they were worth a lot and people valued them due to how unique they were. I remember for years I was wishing I could afford or get a pair of wings somehow, and when I finally got my first pair I wore them all the time because of how rare it was to have wings. I even redid outfits around them because the wings were unique.
However over time, more and more wings have been added to more and more gachas. It's not uncommon for a gacha today to introduce 5-
10 new wing items! It's gotten to the point that they're not special,
a gacha having wings does not make it a special gacha.
Just look at what housing looks like nowadays.
All the extra wings are just taking up space, and people are selling them for a fraction of the old prices or less (I've picked up wings
for less than a mil in Belvast multiple times). People are selling them low and multiple at a time to get rid of them
because they're not special anymore, the pricing is a good reflection of what players think about most wings now.
I understand that multiple colors are introduced so players have variety of options, but
Mabi has a dye system for a reason, and there are some dyeable wings
so we know it works. If Nexon was to stop putting so many wings in gachas and have them dyeable, they'd be rare (less of them available) and special (can dye to match your stuff) items once more.
And since they'd be rarer and more special, more people would be tempted to buy gachas actually wanting the wings, instead of treating the wings as filler items to resell.
Comments
I was never such a huge fan of wings for myself, but back in the day I admired people who did have wings. They were a rare item.
Nowadays wings are not special. Maybe a few handful, but I have been saying for awhile now that we don't need ALL these wings in new gachas. Majority of them are just gonna collect dust in dressing rooms/inventories.
There shouldn't be like 5 or more different varieties of the same wing!
So all in all I agree with!
I dolt two pairs of wings for 30mil only for them to be 8m 8 hours later.
For a while, i kept collecting because I thought about how they were special. But now the market is saturated with wings and I don't even look anymore. Sometimes, you literally can't give away a pair wings!
I'd much rather have some nice outfits in events and even shopping bags where i can just buy what i like. Premium cards were nice with the special outfits. I don't want cards to come back, but it'd be nice to get our outfits in shopping bags.
Also, please don’t make them super rare to a point where less than 5 people pulled them out during the whole gachapons period on the most populated server like what happened with Possessed Eiren’s Wings or few other wings such as Sweetiepie Butterfly Wings... there’s a difference in between being rare but everyone still has a fair chance to get them and would find a seller within few days and being so rare that you wouldn’t be able to find a seller for months.
Also, I'm under the impression that even dye-able wings on Ruairi aren't selling well? Maybe it's a lack of new original outfits and the fact that everything new that is wearable is cash RNG and a new outfit only comes out once every two weeks. I was surprised there were so many options in the chain slash gacha.
And the item being "rarer and more special" would definitely further alienate me, and many others I'm sure, since I haven't spent a dime of real money on gacha and they don't seem to get better. Like, saying that is basically telling them to make the rates worse then they already are?
Just my 2 cents here.
Here's what the housing looks like today on wings on Ruairi (obviously I can't say if people bought the wings in the original shot or if housing expired or what, but this is what's there right now):
And the commas in the original screenshot are interesting. I thought that was a big feature everyone complained about not having?
Pfft please- Everyone knows the best and most sexy looking wings in the game is the one we didnt get to keep.
Ferghus's Amazing Wings
What about the Temporary Tails? Lots of us have Tail Coupons (Myself Included) that cannot even use them because they won't bring it back! Too focused on the wings >3>
LOL. Nice catch. At first i did not realize that. Wanted to make sure, but the image was already removed. Still i can remember perfectly seeing commas in there...
Anyway, you guys should not be worried about wings, they got outdated like two years ago. Being a furry or/and crossdresser means you are the most fashionable now.
P.S: I give VFM's props for supporting OP's idea and not realizing modded image.
However, I do agree with less variety. No one really wears the set color wings that are purple or "violet". These wings usually don't match common color schemes and sit unused forever. Just make them dyeable with normal dyes. Get rid of this whole special dye thing, like with the Tuans and the Holy Angels.
Instead of a change to wings, I'd like more back/robe slot variety. Capes? Cloaks? Give me those man. Make them like the kirito set and move when you walk, not like the stiff Avelin. THEN you'd be in business
