I apologize for my ignorance as to the set of non-armored valkyrie wings, which, even with research, I was unaware of. On none of the resource sites I looked at were there any mentions of them. I may have made myself look foolish (and I get the strong feeling I have) yet still, I am glad to have a satisfying answer.

As for fairness to vets, I apologize for my bluntness. I do care about vets, I just didn't want more posts talking about being fair to the vets. This thread was for the newbies to talk about wings, not for the vets to say too bad.

In short, I really don't want to make anyone feel slighted, I just wished that there would be more positive comments. I'm sorry, Forbin_Project, I didn't mean to be so disrespectful to our game's more experienced players. I simply think that vets should get extras as rewards, not things that should be defaults reserved just for them. So right now, the choices are to pay for wings, or to wait 15 months for them, neither of which seems fair when more specialized wings are very easily available. I wasn't speaking against vets, and I respect them for their dedication, I was just speaking of what seemed to be an imbalance in the game.

Thanks, I had been unaware that the valkyrie wings came without the armor before now, they actually suit the character I had in mind better than the angel wings. I am very gratified.

A good point, and I had been considering it before, yet still, do armored wings really work with tights? Not really.

I'm not really talking work-arounds, I just want this to be heard and considered. Few enough players use wings, but when they do use them, shouldn't they have a good selection? I don't really care about fairness to the vets, that's easily remedied, just that wings of the costume creator are missing what should be their most used option.

Alas, you have a point. But still, they really ought to make such wings something of a standard. How many heroes trying to be classic comic-book heroes would have dragon wings, or bone wings, or little cherub wings? There ought to be some way to recompense the vets who got those, but even if not, the unfairness would be outbalanced, I think. They could just do something like make craftable wings like those, and make the vet wings able to have auras or patterns or some other extra feature to make them more desirable.

Shouldn't there be a set of normal feather wings? I know there is one as a vet reward along with the demon wings, but still. Does it make sense to give us skeletal wings, dragon wings, even bug wings, but not normal bird wings? It would be easy enough to make angel-type wings be more easily accessible, and make the vet reward wings a bit more flashy. Have the vet wings be more feathery, larger, something or other. It just doesn't make sense, when there are plenty of comic book characters out there with feathery wings, and so few that have any of the CoH wings. It really makes it hard to create a bird-based character, and it just doesn't seem right.

This is really helpful, especially since I really am colorblind. And I want to point out that colorblinds don't miss colors, at least I don't, just each color is part of a different spectrum. Brown is darker green, red is very similar to red, blue and purple are barely different. I remember in second grade, I said I was colorblind, and countless children scream at me, "What color is this?" pointing to something out of view. I finally realized how to make that stop. "What color is my hair," they say. "Green," I answer. Noone really wanted to hear that their hair was green.
