I come here to talk about the wings of valor and I think a lot of people like to get those wings and has no way currently to buy the game , not because is very spencive of course, Me for example, I study medicine and work at the same time and I have to pay for university and all other things in my day to day basis, i will buy the game but obviously not going to buy before day 31 and I think it's a great way to advertise the game and force people to buy the game to have this kind of cosmetics but there are other people who can't afford to pay for the game right now , i think there should be a different way to get those wings without pre order and i think you guys should give other people the opportunity to have those, correct me if im wrong but i think people who buy the game day 31st get wings and people who buy the game day 1st april will not have the wings because of a 24h delay and we are gonna pay the same ammount of money for the game , still think is a good way of advertising but i think you should find later on in the expansion a way for the people who didn't have a chance to get wings to at least have a chance to have those.
Well this is the third pair of wings offered I believe. The original wings from the collector's edition, Kerrigan's wings, and now these. I don't see a issue with limited time things. That's usually how Blizzard does special items.
I don't want the wings to be attached to my account and I'm forced to wait until 1st of April before registering my key. They are giving it to everyone until then, no way to opt out. I hope they won't prolong the period... This should be optional as the rest of marketing cosmetics.
Why would you care if they are attached to your account? You don't have to use them. I'm not trying to be antagonistic here, I'm genuinely interested in why you would go so far as to wait several extra days before registering just to avoid the wings. Did you have a bad experience with Red Bull? Just kidding, but really, why wait?

i would choose my own religion and worship my own spirit, but if he ever preached to me i wouldn't want to hear it. i'd drop him, a forgotten god, languishing in shame; and then if i hit stormy seas, i'd have myself to blame.

You can vendor the wings for 1g I think.
OP I believe they are doing this 1 week only thing because they want to get a high number of sales in the first week so they can market "we sold this many copies in the first week".

Agreed. Didn't they set some sales records or something for the first week of D3? It would be pretty embarrassing for Blizz if they didn't come close, or at least halfway, to those numbers with the expansion.

I don't throw around the word "entitlement" often....but damn this gamer generation (who just got a trophy for showing up) really are an entitled lot who think they deserve the same or better than those who got the special item by doing what you were supposed to do to get it.
I hope they enjoy their welfare yellow wings, I will proudly be wearing my white ones.

They won't come close, and that has nothing to do with the quality of the game. Expansions pretty much always sell WAY fewer copies than the base game. But yes, all pre-order incentives for all games are solely to boost that first week sales number.
OP: Don't worry, you're not missing out on much. In most of Act 2 and half of Act 3 you can't even really see the latest wings because of the color of the environments. My Kerrigan wings have pretty much never been used, but the original CE wings are still pretty awesome.

Yeah I'm wondering about this too, honestly. It can't just be that destroying/vendoring the wings is a huge hassle.
I personally think they should have kept the wings as a CE only thing. They could have given the wings to the CE and the dog to preorders. That would have fit the established pattern.
Diablo 3 CE - Angelic Wings
SC2: HotS CE - Blade Wings
D3: RoS CE - Valor Wings
But they didn't. I don't like it, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
