Option to hide TR Wings

[Deathdefy]

I'd be surprised if this hadn't been suggested before, but I think it would be nice if TRs could elect to turn off their wings. I'd be happy with either a static decision during the TR character creation screen, or alternatively dynamically whenever they felt like it throughout the game.

At times, other players assume certain things about TR characters that may not be true. Being a TR can create the expectation of being uber by virtue of having wings. It'd be nice to be able to dodge that short of a character inspection.

Similarly, expectations of 'advice giving / game mechanic explanations' or 'build explanations' can be frustrating if you're not in the mood.

On a macro level, I think the vet / newbie divide would also be lessened by the presence of fewer wings around names running about the harbor and marketplace.

I appreciate an inspection of the character will still show Hero / Legend. No biggie, and that's fine; the visual disappearance of wings would still cut down on the above problems. Making it optional removes the downside for those players that do love the wings.

I would genuinely use this option 100% of the time, and for others that wouldn't, no harm no foul.

Don't see why not. Might make some people happier and doesn't harm anyone.

Wings, the only time I can see it along with my name is when I 2 box.

I also don't see why not, but I doubt the devs will even consider this. My (not-so-popular) also offer a different style of looks and I doubt they'll ever be input.

I don't see why not make it an option, along with maybe a height setting when creating your character, being able to increase or decrease it when creating characters, a certain amount per TR.

Why are you so worried about how other people perceive you?

Wings, no wings, who cares?

Maybe it could be ticked on/off in UI panel.
Or as consol comand /showtrwing off

Edit: These are kind of changes we could see, I'm personally sick of all the crafting business

Edit2: Sorry for the weird double post

yes agreed.

[HarveyMilk]

This is a cosmetic no-brainer.

Just put the info in the Z-inspection panel above character bio somewhere.

[phalaeo]

Wouldn't they know anyways once they inspected your character?

Hi,

Good idea, signed.

Thanks

[DoctorWhofan]

yeah, but most players don't inspect people, nor do they know about hero, or champion or such. BUT they knowthat the wings are TR'd peeps. And TR sometimes mean jerks worrying about XP, than the quest itself. Or know it all jerks on General chat. Not saying that is true, but it only takes a few to make a bad rep for all.

100% agree.

In fact, it's those wings keeping me from TRing. I refuse to wear a scarlet letter-like symbol declaring me "socially challenged and convinced I'm twice as good as I actually am".

For the above good reasons.
Yes, TRs are, in general, held to a higher standard (until otherwise shown).
Some are not comfortable with that for different reasons.

For me, the main reason I would want the option to turn off wings is that for one of my builds I want to hit lvl 20 fast and TR immediately. This build will have minimal craft/farm (no greensteel, etc.) and only basic equipment available. I would not like to advertise that this is a TR build.

Contrast that with one that is properly preped for the TR with equipment set aside to be near optimal at most level (especially green steel at level 11/12). In this case, having the wings shown makes sense.

Of course, if I'm leading a quest, having wings could come in handy for a few reasons.

In any case, the inspect window would identify that it is a TR, but then you can include mention additional info.
