Lightbulb Previews! Why not???

Ok i dont know why this hasent been done but it should be done

u know when u go to craft a wepeon say.. torment or somthing and all you get is a tiny picture to see if it looks good or even suit your armor. its the same with armor the tiny picture to see what it looks like.

WHY! isnt there a preview button where you can see what it looks like on you. like when u dye armor u get the preview why isnt that the same for armor and weps?

anyone else think this is missing from GW?


(i know you can look on wiki now a days but still i should be there)

We asked for Armor preview a long long time ago...and got nothing.

Same will come of this, but not a bad idea.

What would be nice is for all crafters to have access to the Dye preview window.

When you talk to a crafter the window opens and you select the item you wish to craft. The preview window then pops up show your char with that piece equiped and a confirm/cancel option.

The best option you have is /wiki.

At least that is built into the game So you can see the name of what you are searching for removing the need to keep alt-tabbing.

I agree with this guy.

No reason to implement this.

The reason this was a good idea for dyes was with all the different combos and being able to choose 4 made for tens of thousands of combos, which was not easily found if you wanted some crazy off-beat combo, and each combo looked different on each item it was put on. With armors and weapons, there's one possibility of a skin and it is easily found on wiki.

yea ok but still it would be alot easier to do this if u want to mix armors then u can see with the colour you want and on what char u want before u buy.

Thumbs up

I was just thinking the same thing today---
I got my necro some monument stuff and well it just doesnt go well with what she has---now if I had been able to preview it with what she was wearing at the time (like the dye preview) I might not have wasted 30p on armor that doesnt match anything else----

so

I'd love the preview for amour...I hate the way that my hair looks with the armour I have...Either let me change my hair, or let me preview my armour.

/signed - It would be good for not wasting precious money in Guild Wars. I owuld hate to buy a Tormented Weapon and it doesn't go along with my character. I would just be really mad if that ever happened.
