tonbery Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I second this. I get tired of never seeing what each lightsaber looks like before I get it, or just seeing what another person's looks like on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pangwl Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hilt preview is here -_-" It's been floating around for quite some time... use the 'search'. http://www.hotrodacc.com/swtor/jedi/IcBjk.jpg On the other hand, yes, please allow previews for other weapons/ gears.

I don't get it. That link you posted is just a JPG of like 10 hilts with no labels. That doesn't help us in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't help us in any way. in that case, I can't help you, it's quite prevalent and easy to identify which is the matching lightsabers hilt on the JPG.

dangadget Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Yes please. While its fairly obvious that some care was taken to make the weapon icons reflect the actual weapon art, it's still not a viable replacement to an actual preview.

Rishfee Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I would like this as well. Sometimes, the look of the hilt doesn't match up to the look of the icon for the weapon, making it hard to tell if I'll like the look of one of the hilts before buying it. I've had instances where there were two lightsabers with the exact same icon that had vastly different models in game, so looking at the icons is not a viable option.

galadimana Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 /Signed. (I have noticed that some assault cannons have a very different set of sounds than others for the same powers; finding a way of pre'viewing' these would also be great - 'pew pew pew' doesn't sound nearly as epic as "THUNK THUNK THUNK!")

Drevin Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 This really needs to be added. As it stands, the only way to see the difference is to unsheathe your weapon(s), zoom in, and then swap weapons to see the details. But that means you have to actually equip the weapon, binding it to you. This is really important to me, because I want my blasters to match my gear.

daftshadow Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 A zooming option would be a nice feature to have for the Appearance Preview window. Like a magnifying glass icon which you can click to zoom in and out for each body armor part (chest, wrists, hands, legs, boots, head, etc.). Can we also get higher texture resolution for the Appearance Preview window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we also get higher texture resolution for the Appearance Preview window? I posted about the low resolution in another thread, but I definitely agree with you there. I am sick of having to try gear on my mail companion to see the high res textures instead of just being able to see them on my female toon. Also, I agree that I would love a zoom and rotate feature added to item preview as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nytak Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 My only issue with this is: Light Saber A: Looks like a glowstick in the preview window, image too small to see hilt details. Light Saber B: See light saber A Light Saber C: See light saber B Light Saber D: See light saber C.... Now if the shape of the glowy part changed, even just slightly... that'd be awesome..

You do know that there are other weapons, besides lightsabers in this game, right? Also, I agree that maybe a zoom feature would help with seeing details on smaller weapons. Implementing high res textures in the preview (like is already available for companions) would also help with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watoolfa Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I want to know what #2 and #5 are in the second row... those are the ones that I like the most. Anyone have the names of those by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veevito Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I've always envisioned a different type of graphical preview system for this game. A sort of "holo preview" in addition to the character preview. For those of you who have played Skyrim, think of that, where items can be brought up to view and rotate individually. Of course modified with a sci-fi feel. Each item can be previewed via a holo projector that allows rotating, zooming etc...And in the case of weapons, add a sound preview. For example, a light saber hilt holo projected while a sound file plays the sheathing/unsheathing, same for blasters being fired etc.. While at the same time adding a zooming system for preview of the same items to see how they look equipped. I'm sure this is rather ambitious, but it would be nice.

TrenchMonkey Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I actually thought the skyrim type preview would be fitting as well. you can tell they put some nice detail in these weapons and it would be great to check them out before spending your commendations on them to know what it looks like.

matrixchild Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I want to bump this because with 1.2 they added some new weapons that look nothing like their picture even so there is absolutely no way to even think you might know without actually equipping which doesn't make sense when you're buying stuff of the gtn.
