Ever Thought Of Adding Elytras?

Now that 1.8 has been removed from the WC client, could it be possible to add Elytras into the game, or would that seem outside of WC's era?
I would assume it wouldn't be very difficult to create a quest where some old inventor has created a flight suit that he is too old to test out and he needs some young warrior like yourself to try it on and maybe fly through three ring courses in progressing difficulty. This would have to be a very late game item that would not replace horses, but instead, help people cross chasms, climb hills, or just soar down into Rodoroc from Molten Heights. It could also be used to get to some high up secret that no spell can get to. It could also soar faster the more agility the user has.

Item example:
Prototype flight suit (#1535)

Health: +2000
water defense: -30
fire defence: -30
air defense: +50

Combat level min: 100
Agility min: 50
Quest Req: Taking Flight

+3-8 agility
+15-30% air damage
+15-25% air defense
+8-15% walk speed

[0/2] Powder Slots
Legendary Item
Untradeable Item

After years of research, Professor Ironwell developed a device that allowed the user to glide in the air for a short distance. The suit's material is unknown, but one thing is for sure: you have never seen anything like it.


That's about it. What are your thoughts? I would love any response from you guys :)

 

Fun fact: In the past, there was a changelog on April 1, one of the additions that were on the changelog were adding elytra. It's been more than two years and still for some reasons they didn't add it into the game... I wonder why?
Here's a video. 2:16 - 2:32

I'm not sure about using it to cross from a place to another. But, it will be cool to see elytra being used in quests.

 

No. it would break the game pretty irreparably

 

Ice Bear says you can use basically any movement spell to get fly continuously with elytra. Ice Bear says a mage teleport combined with an elytra would allow you to fly over the entire map and possibly go over borders on the server.

 

Adding -100mr onto every elytra would eliminate this problem. You can't just claim that Elytras won't work because of some minor technicality. Clearly this is a reasonable fix and we have every reason to have it implemented, right?

 

Ice Bear says that would solve the problem. Ice Bear would want it as long as people can't fly continuously since that would make horses obsolete.

 

Ah let's rework this because I'm bored. https://wynndata.tk/ci/Custom-376083819

Comments:
- -50mr, see previous discussion
- hp can afford to be a bit higher since hp rework is coming into effect (also to match other quest items at that level like Female Pirate Wig)
- ele defs can afford to be a bit wider to match endgame-level items
- agi req kinda walls away certain builds and elytras seem more like something that everyone would want to be able to use
- % air dmg/def might be a bit high (careful it doesn't overshadow Soarfae, elytras aren't meant to be that combat-viable)
- i like the lore but can't add it into a wynndata ci, pretend it's there
- same for the quest req and untradeable tag

Disclaimer: I'm not an IM and I'm sucky when it comes to this area no flame pls

 

i mean if you call yourself sucky then im far worse lmao

but your rework seems viable, far more than the original item

 

elytra's whould (if added) most likely be an endgame item so horses would still be used and instead of putting -mr onto every elytra, spells should just be disabled when you have one equipt just like with mounts.

 

I think the barriers (for yourself) and getting out of the map will still be a problem.
