It might increase lag and use up bandwidth in game, but it would save it for sites like this as I wouldn't have to scour them for armor pics before buying.

/signed - This is a great idea, as those tiny little icons don't really give you much bearing as to how the armour will look, particularly if you're making a huge investment in 15k armour...
I think the people who don't agree with this just want to be different, I can't see how this would have any drawbacks.

This is not urgent at all.. GuildWiki does this fine, and if you need a specific color. Just make a request thread in the screenshot forum.

I know this would have prevented me from buying the kurzick armor for my ritualist. Even after seeing it on someone else, I thought.. OMG so cute.. and then put it on my own character and it was like.. god, wtf... is this..
And to think of all the wasted amber...

I bought the fow gauntlets for male warriors, only to find out they have tiny hands, so now I only use it for tanking sometimes, since it's not worth putting a superior on it.

That is like saying the Guild Emblemer should be removed, because "it wuld [sic] just create more lag".
On a side note;
HELL YEAH I WANT THIS!
I spent ages looking for pictures of undyed 15k Kurzick compared to 15k Canthan on my monk. This will save me a lot of time in the future, as will it save the time of other people. And in the case of dye preview, I think they should be bundled. Ie, that you can also preview dying on the previewed armor (and on the one you are wearing atm), since I dye all my armor pink, so I want to see how it looks in pink before I buy it.
WoW has this, so I don't see why we cannot have it. Especially considering that looks means a lot more in GW than in WoW (though looks are not everything still).

it would be client side like the guy said, just like viewing the cape, so no lag.

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. /not signed |

I even have UI concept screenshots of how we could preview the armor and dyes. Glad to see a lot more people would enjoy being able to do so
On a related note, if they do currently have the cape design only use client-side resources, then they could make dye and armor previewing the same way. Then we wouldn't need to pay a platinum like I had suggested to cut back on lag caused by overusing those features . Not having to pay for it would make it even more fun and useful!

I too would like a dye previewer as well, dying simple green or silver or black gets old after a while. It would be NICE to be able to preview different dye combos, it would add more individuality to chars. And different armors dye different. Like 1.5k Canthan armor dyes more pastel than others, and mesmers can't get white from silver etc.
And as for the idea of looking at someone else's armor that works to get an idea of the armor, but with different hair colors and skin tones the armor that looks good on mary lou might look horrible on you. Unless I find a clone I wouldn't be fully satisfied.
So yea definate /signed for me

i'd like to compare luxon and kurzick 15k on my necro, can't decide what i'll get (and having 2 guildies with one of those sets each doesn't really help me make my choice... i'd like to see it on my own char in full detail.

go look at some screenshots. youre all a bunch of babies.
on a side note- you people experiencing lag should do some general upkeep on your computer... ive never had a problem with it on any of a few different computers and hardware setups. gg.

Its safe to say armour is purely asthetic in this game. I know WoW has a costume preview option, but thats not a reason to not have one in Guild Wars.

The files for armor are downlaodes ONCE.
You woul only tell your own client to show your model with that armor.
Just like the cape preview window. More that easy to be done.
Just made a try button that opens the 'dye preview' window with the full set of armor equiped, so you can also can try dyes with that armor. Select any of the armor parts then hit 'preview' you see the full set of that armor on your character.
You like it? You buy it.
