/signed - again!!

Just rolled up a monk character, and there's no way to have any idea how any of the tattoo-based armors look until you buy it and put it on! (Let alone, how will it dye!) YOu can close out and look at wiki - I know - but it still doesn't give you an idea how it will look on your character - especially when you mix-and-match pieces.

Please give us an armor preview window!!

both are great ideas..but sadly it will never happen. Not in plane ol' GW...but maybe we get lucky in GW2?

/signed...If its easy

I like the idea, but are we trying to keep ANet busy? Im not gonna ramble about "they got better things to do!" because satisfying the customers is number one. I'm also not sure when this thread ended, but they implemented the Dye preview system now. You can see what your CURRENT armor looks like before you Dye it. Yes, you have to have a black (or desired color) dye in your inventory.

As far as seeing the armor first, go to the unofficial guild wiki!
http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

under the armor section, they have screens of all the armor in the game for all the professions.

/signed - It would really help with people who accidently buy armor when they would think they would like it.

Sage Sanctus · Aug 05, 2008, 01:46 AM // 01:46

/signed, for all the reasons stated above

kazi_saki · Aug 05, 2008, 02:20 AM // 02:20

I love mixing armors so this should be a must!

Most of us are fully aware of the wiki screenshots, however the point has been raised earlier in the thread that often armours look different (and horrible) on your characters than they do in the screenshot... By trying it on you can also see what clipping issues it may have as well.

Would save me time and money which is good!

This still hasn't been added?

My apologies. It occurred to me that people might not like (or really have the ability) to alt+tab out of game. I signed it before, and still do sign it. Pamlef, you bring up a good point about clipping issues. Never ran across them, but they could be there. Personally I don't mind not having it, but putting it in is NOT a stupid idea, its a good idea!

/ Signed (still)

/Signed, although i always look in the wiki before i buy armors, i do think it would be better and easier with this feature

R.Shayne · Aug 06, 2008, 05:54 PM // 17:54

have two 15k Mesmer outfits that I can not stand. I dye my Mesmer outfits White+Red+Silver. First one was Elite Noble, picture on wiki looked good, only after I tried to dye it did I realize that the green/gold part doesn’t dye and stays that green color. The second time was elite kur that has the green part that will not change colors.

Great idea I want to see what an item looks like on my char before I purchase it.

Cyb3r · Aug 07, 2008, 02:36 PM // 14:36

/signed cause all the armors on both wiki and the unnoficial look 1 horrid 2 some armors look different on other chars (Elite kurz Mesmer for example)

MithranArkanere · Aug 07, 2008, 04:54 PM // 16:54

Hey, the preview panel is there.

Why not putting two buttons two show it?
- One in the Inventory Equiped items panel.
- One in each Equippable item crafter or collector.

Hit the inventory button and the panel appears, and yu can drop any item there.
Hit the button in the Crafter, and the selected item is shown equipped.
And you can use dyes to check the colors out in both.

The problem is is that both of these things serve as gold sinks to slow economic growth.
