To test how my warrior would look, I had to make a PvP duplicate and play with the two inventory images in an image-editing program to see if I would like the way it looked. I hate to use full sets of armor. Mix-and-match FTW! I'm considering Ancient Leggings on my ele, but I don't know how that would look with the rest of her armor. I've wanted an armor preview for a long time.
PLEASE, A.NET?! PLEASE? XD
Fitting Room at the Armorer? (also, fun with dye previews)

I agree with this, I've very often wanted to be able to see what 15k armour would look like before buying it (and soemtimes regretted >.<) so I'd definitely make use of something like this ^^

Well who knows how many of the ideas in this posted throughout this forum will be incorporated into Guild Wars II. If that game is actually better than this one, it is going to make record sales. I would think an armor preview would be the least of the improvement/enhancements. GAMER GEEKS RULE!!!

I really like the idea for the armor fitter, seems really nice, kinda like the dye preview. Yea, kinda like when you see your cape and when you see you dye. It would really help to see the armor before you buy it /signed

I really like this idea, it would be great to preview armor before you bought it. However, I like to mix and match armor from all over GW, so I guess it wouldn't be that useful for previewing mixed sets...but a great idea nonetheless.

Yeah... If they make the preview window have dye slots like the dye preview wndow (could be the very same panel) you could also try the same dye for the complete set.
They culd add a 'preview everything' checkbox to both panels.
Well.. armor are customized,, but armorers could have 'try before buy' sets, XD.

/signed. I've wanted this for awhile now.
Until then, i just study them on wiki. A little trick I've found for previewing armor mixes is to find the photos on the official guildwiki. Some of these are stock pictures and are all the same size, face, pose, and angle, and no background. They are incredibly easy to photoshop and its a great way to see if you like it or not. Lately though they've been updating with in-game pictures so the trick might not be around much longer.

excellent idea, this saves many players (like myself) effort, time, money and a whole lot of frustration

Two year thread, and still going strong. Is it time to listen yet, Anet?

Oh to have this feature would be awesome! I too mix it up and recently bought a pair of boots, only to turn right around and salvage what materials I could from them. =(

Considering this is a nice welcome back to a 2005 thread I have to say it's by far one of the best ideas I ever saw.

Come on Anet. 3 Year Thread?
It's about time we had this put in. A small solution I use now is looking for people who already have that armor, and take screenshots of them. Though this hardly helps me as the dye is sometimes bad and the face and hair are way off.

Yay! Just a simple button [Preview]
We don't even need to mix sets or something like that, just popup the preview panel with the compelte set that corresponds to the piece.
People would have to bring their own dyes to see them, and done.

It's been very annoying to not know how armor will look on my characters until it was too late, and I had spent my money.....
Very impressive detail and explaining. Should be interesting if the features were implimented.

Just a thought; would you only be able to see the armor that the particular crafter you're talking to can make, or would this be better implemented at some single location, where you could preview any and all armor from the areas you've "unlocked" by visiting, (i.e. if you haven't been to Cavalon you cannot preview Luxon armor).

3 year old suggestion, and plenty of /signs.... so why hasn't it been done?

I would love to see the Fitting Room thing. I made a serious mistake on some creations for my Warrior (1st Char 3 years old) and i not deleting her but makes it so hard to find a decent armor without seeing it on her. but don't want to just blow money away if it don't look right or good enough for my tastes.

For example guildie of mine has a female warrior. average size has a tanish skin tone to it. bought 15k knights. looks awesome. i got it on my warrior which is as tall you can make her. and pale white (hence why i said what i did in my post above yours here) and anything with skin showing on her looks completly aweful. And not knowing how crappy it would look i blew the money onloy to turn around and salavge all the pieces of armor to get a diffrent set.

. It's about time a system like this came along. Since the time this thread was created Anet have delivered some much needed improvements, and with the scale of many of the expansions and additions to the game they've made over the years an armour and full dye preview such as this one is well within their capabilities. Yes, we have a dye preview just now, but I still think we should have the option to see how a new armour is going to look and what the colour will be like without having to buy expensive dye(s) and test them.

I think if this system was put in place, many male Necros wouldn't have regretted buying the highly questionable Vabbian armor. Poor Necrodudes...
But yes, something like this would be awesome, and would do on of two things: 1. Excite the person, seeing how awesome it looks on their character, and 2. Disappoint the customer - and be able to prevent them from spending money on an armor they wouldn't like.

This would just be so helpful, armour does look different on wiki than actually on your character.

/signed, I don't see how it isn't possible, there is a dye preview and a cape preview already, and it could be very very handy.
