FluxWing Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) On my long road to level 50, I have many times stumbled across new weapons. Orange moddable items, where the only real difference is looks. With armor, you can preview how it will look on your character or your companion. But in this preview window, your character is always unarmed. I simply suggest that weapons are made visible in the same manner, so one can determine whether to spend resources on the weapon or not. Or maybe I have just overlooked a way to enable this feature? Anybody care to enlighten me? Edited January 4, 2012 by FluxWing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethusa Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 You' re right exactly. So; BUMP ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawheidbob Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I think this was something that has been overlooked hopefully it will be reimplemented soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draxikar Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 This has my complete support... The whole reason to even bother upgrading to a new orange is for an improved style, since the mods are transferable and I can craft hilt mods and such. I would be surprised if this wasn't on it's way, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roobian Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Fully agreed, it's very inconvenient not to be able to preview weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolgan Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I definitely agree with you on this one, without a shadow of a doubt this needs to be brought in and im sure they will when i see a gun/blaster i don't just look at the stats i want to know what it looks like, also im the sort of player who couldn't care about the stats im all the look but that's just me :L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granrick Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Yeah, that'd be nice. Especially when buying weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luggypm Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'm still a lowbie but I'm surprised that weapons are so similar that a persons choice would come down to looks. It's not Barbies Clothes Shopping Game you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggis Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'm still a lowbie but I'm surprised that weapons are so similar that a persons choice would come down to looks. It's not Barbies Clothes Shopping Game you know. Of course it is. It's an RPG, so people are going to be concerned with looks as well as stats.

MellowTigger Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 /agree And also preview for speeders, so you can see what you're getting before you buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdrgn Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I Wanted to see the look from a new pistol from a commedation vender so I went online but no screen shots. I invested so much time in saving up for two orange pistols I did not want a crappy look, so I went on the trade market and looked for the same model icon, bought it, equiped it, and it looked liked trash. I would of been pissed if I bought two orange pistols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Fuzzy Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Agreed, having a heck of a time trying to figure out what they look like without wasting all my commendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuSharp Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 It doesn't matter for green items that you're just going to chuck in a level or two but if you're crafting or buying an orange that you're planning on keeping for a while a preview ability is a must!

Nighenhale Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Weapon preview and a free camera in the preview so we can zoom into certain parts. Atm the companion looks preview has the face so small you can barely see the differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobinator Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I second this. Always looking for that fancy weapon to match my RP and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phaldoo Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Yes, please give us weapon preview. It is a major flaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirin Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I completely agree, this should be simple to implement and is much needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddballEasyEight Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Wait... where are all the "but they need to fix the seeeeerious bugs first" people? or are they starting to leave the forums? dare one hope? (ps. that was a bump) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueDemonhunter Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 My level 22 Soundrel who accidently vendored "Flashy" for a new gun that turned out to be a large shiney Hair Dryer agrees with the OP and most everyone posting. ;p I didn't know mods could be removed at the time.... The store bought 60 dollar packs really need to be packed with a manual... Even an abridged manual would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
