    That is strange, my friend was saying the same thing but I didn't notice any difference. Can you post a screenshot?

    maybe a certain graphics setting in your game settings have changed after the patch, some of my settings changed when i logged on just 5mins ago

    EDIT: well i just saw a few people with it and it looks normal on my side, so either it's a graphical setting thats been changed in your game settings OR it's a glitch where only the user's of that wing will see that

    Must be some glitch. I do see the elf wings like they've always been, but my Israfel is invisible.

    I've checked and it's still the same as usual... If it changed I'll be like.. QQ

    But yeah your graphic setting might be different or probably the weather.. who knows.

    Just saw in-game and seraphic mist are the same now too.

    If you don't have the player highlighted, solid instead of translucent like they used to be. And I normally play with graphics maxed, so it's not because of graphics resetting and me forgetting what they were on.

    Lol, mine is still visible. But heard some of my guildies are invisible. Mine was maxed out though. It seems only the original non-spurred ones are invisible?b:puzzled

    My Nix when my coursor isn't hovered over him has gotten a very vivid make over. I honestly like it. Change is good, IMO.

    They always look that way depending on the lighting and the angle you are looking at them.Mine look that way all the time as I was just on my cleric early this morning.

    im having exactly the same problem, and i just checked with my girlfriend (we compared our gfx settings) hers are exactly the same as mine - but i see them like in the "after" screenshot, and she sees them as in the "before" screenshot...

    They've changed, i used to see them like the before screenshot as well. changed after the patch =P but honestly i dont really care, they're the same speed.

    Well I'm glad to know it's not just me.

    Most people I've asked in game see the wings as they were before the patch.

    My wings are upgraded, max speed, IDK if that changes anything..

    I also see the 'nix shaded very dark red (until I highlight it with my cursor), it does look very nice that way b:heart

    Same issue here. My wings are silver now. I even had an interesting situation where i was flying from 1 wq waypoint to another and midflight my wings turned transparent. I didnt know what to make of it, but then 2 mins later it turned silver again.

    So im guessing its another mess made by our pro game developers.

    There is nothing wrong it is your graphic settings look at mine same as when I bought them.

    So my graphics setting changed to normal and back again on a 2 min timeframe on its own? Just out of curiosity, which exact setting would you say make my wings look like it used to be (transparent)?

    I think they did as I had to click the setting that showed people and mobs in the radar.I haven't had to touch my graphics but my wing look ok as i took a flight from the City of Misfortune to Tusk Town Thurs. morning.Watchers have always looked a little transparent in certian lighing conditions mine do when I am in swiftwind village where it rains same in some other places.

    It could be you never took notice about it before maybe you autopathed a lot.Mine are fine.

    @nicoleluver you stopped playing this game so your post is a waste.

    I've looked at my wings under every graphics option and every lighting condition, and they most certainly have changed.

    my wings are doing the same bluish colors. I really don't like it. I noticed it yesterday after the patch. I tried playing with my settings but nothing helped. They were so pretty!...now ugly. They look metal and such. I miss the transparent blue.

    Regardless of that...his graphics wouldn't automatically change mid-flight for no apparent reason. He didn't say he logged on after the patch and they were like that. He said they changed while he was using them. Read before you post please b:surrender

    Despite of any lighting effect, the wings have always looked transparent. They never changed in the 3 months i've had them nor did they look weird when i saw players wearing before i had mine. I can change the setting in every way possible, its stays messed up. Its not a setting issue, its an update flaw. Its clearly having some conflict with some hardware our great developers forgot to test, reason why for some its working fine and for others its weird.

    My guess is T&L (transform and lighting), a feature some boards dont have, is having some effect on this update, which up till now it never did. Same thing happened to 1st person shooter i used to play. The game worked perfectly for everyone. After 1 update, most couldnt even start the game. The game had nvidia and ati sponsoring, and the the update guys said pretty clear "buy 1 of those graphics board or you wont be able to play". Considering they have links for drivers to both boards on the 'download game' section, makes my guess a possibilty.
    Some games require T&L, but u can still play without it. Others you cant play at all.

    For some reason im not feeling too great about the great update the GMs have in mind for us. Im sensing a dejavu...

    Actually, it did change after the update. What i said was it was already silverish, went back to normal (transparent) for 2 mins and then back to silverish.

    'Changing' doesn't necessarily mean changing to silver. o_o I meant change at all. If they changed at all without messing with graphics settings (back to transparent or otherwise), then it wouldn't be the graphics settings that caused it, right? Or am I missing something here o.o'
