/signed! I just dropped a couple of plat trying out new armor pieces on my new Mesmer. They don't look like how you think they will from the little icon at the armorer!

Kanyatta · Jun 19, 2008, 04:09 PM // 16:09

Just use the wiki, that'll show you how every armor in the game looks on every gender of every profession. The reason this was implemented for dyes is because there are just about infinity combinations you can make.

MithranArkanere · Jun 19, 2008, 04:22 PM // 16:22

Yeah. The 'preview' panel should be available directly from the inventory and crafting panels, not inly by using dyes.

That way you could try anything without the need of a dye.

We shouldn't have to resort to an out-game source of armor preview. People want to be able to use an in-game feature. Not to mention that the previews on Wiki don't show the shading effects in a fully rotateable 3D fashion.

sixofone · Jun 19, 2008, 06:33 PM // 18:33

Yeah, since I was mixing and matching pieces from different sets, and I couldn't remember what the different leggings looked like from one to the other, let alone boots!

Having the ability to see it on my toon first would have been a big help! (And then there's the problem that dye on different sets behaves differently. Getting a similar shade of purple on the coat and the leggings was a bit of a trial, too! I came close, but I understand that they are supposed to reflect different materials, and so may not match in color exactly.)

Exactly. It's nice to know and see the sets, but the Wiki won't have all the color combinations.

With a fitting room, you'll be a ble to buy some dyes, bring them to the armory, and test various colors to see if any combination looks good, then buy the item or not depending on if you see something you like or not.

my characters have tons of expensive armors that they wore for like 1 day just to say "ok i got it, i got to wear it... "

with the 1k armors it is not as bad since they come in cheap non max versions, but those elite sets.. ugh

even if wiki has a great picture, it would be awesome to see combos + clipping BEFORE buying those 15k pieces...

Sai Rith · Jun 20, 2008, 10:15 AM // 10:15

/signed. I have wasted countless money 15k armors, and have posted numerous Request threads in the screenie that NEVER get responded to.

/signed like the idea

expect if you cant afford it theny ou cant try it on, just like we dont let bums into the finest stores to try on the finest clothes, thats just wrong.

Tender Wolf · Jun 21, 2008, 02:09 AM // 02:09

I really like these ideas. Someone can always go to Wiki to see a sample of the armor, but who all has a character that looks exactly like the model? And though there is a dye guide here on Guru, several armor sets are still missing. So I /sign both of these.

On top of that, making those galleries would be MUCH easier.
People that spend time editing the wiki spends less time gathering cash to buy armors.

this is a wonderful idea that is already implemented right, the dye preview, except its not on a sliding thing but very good idea

NOW MAKE DYING ARMOR USING THE SLIDER PLEASE ARENA NET

Samurai Goroh, your idea about people who can't afford the armor cannot try out the clothes idea makes me want to puke.

Store keepers who look down on other people, THATS JUST WRONG and should be publicly cane :P

Well, if a homeless man walks into a gucci store I doubt they'll let him try on the merchandise.

The one thing you learn these days in retail is never to judge on appearances. Anyone could be a mystery shopper and you'd lose your job.

Anyone can try on anything anywhere...just means you can't buy it.

IT would be ver cool but most importantly usefull I just wasted 14k for dyes and didn't get the color i wanted

I'm an armour girl at heart and I always fear that the expensive set I get next will look weird on my character. This will help that.
