Curse

I did a search and found nothing remotely active like this suggestion:

I am suggesting that Anet implement a way for us to get a preview of what Armor looks like before we pay to craft it and waste gold on something we may not like.

I mean come on who buys clothes without trying them on or at least getting to look at them on a rack / hanger?

So would you like Anet to create a system for Armorers / Collecters to give us a Preview of the Armor before we pay to have it Crafted? I know I would..../signed.

I've wanted to see what they look like in full, on my char, etc. Option for dye colors too would be great, so you know what the armor would look like in the colors you want.

good idea

I've always been frustrated at how the icons in the menu give you pretty much no clue what the final product will actually look like. I cannot give this a more emphatic...

It should look like when you are buying a cape!

ESPECIALLY since factions armors have many options, we need a better interface for buying and previewing armors.

The single list of items grouped via types isnt cutting it Anet

We need ability to sort the armors we are buying. It gets CONFUSING.

I think it's rather pointless, actually. While it would be very aesthetically pleasing to be able to preview the armour, it doesn't change what armour you will buy (or, at least, it shouldn't).
You should buy armour for the bonuses of each particular type and how they work with your playing style/character strategy, not how it looks. Such trivialities are why there are 15k and FOW armour sets.

I hate not being able to see what the armour looks like before you craft it cuz some armour is really ugly.

Very good idea especially so early into the release

*sigh. 96 views and only 9 posts?

I would sign, but your cape has flames on it.

And can we preview those? No! All the more reason to sign this petition

/signed, and would be nice to have a NPC like the Guild Emblemer that would allow us to apply diffrent dyes to see what it would look like before investing 50k on Black Dye.

In Factions, you can now get any armor type with any skin, so you can mix and match whatever suits your playstyle, and still have an aesthetically matching set. So your argument doesn't hold as far as Cantha.

I think a mini-window which will show your character "fitted" with that armor would go a long way.

quickmonty · May 04, 2006, 10:51 AM // 10:51

I want to try it on and see how it looks, maybe even dyed. Imagine buying from a catalog with only icons representing the clothes you are buying.

Several sets of armors have the same stats but different looks.

Agreed it is possible. I mean the guild emblemer is very similar.

In adding to that. Stats aren't everything. If it was ANet would not have put so much effort into creating such lavish settings, armor and weapons. So please don't try telling us it's the stats that only matter.

Great idea and if nothing else, would be fun to have.
