Guild Wars 2

Hello, I just logged in and saw that the way of previewing items changed.

In the GW2 Wiki notes it states:
“Previewing transmuted equipment will display the skin of the item that provided the stats instead the item that provided the skin.”
I think that this idea is sooo so bad.

First of all, we use transmutation stones in order to obtain favourite look on armor which has good stats; and therefore the skin of the item that provides the stats is not important. Since it is a preview option, you should be able to check the skin of item that you wanted to use in the first place, not the one with the stats (you can check the stats by moving the mouse over the item – and that is all you need of the item that provided stats).

Besides, till now it was fun to show your armor to friends and for example to check how would they look in your armor set. And now everyone will see a horrible mishmash if someone has his or her items transmuted.

In my opinion that was a huge mistake and I’m really hoping for it to change.

Wait, that stuff was intentional?

I didn’t bother making a bug report about it, because I figured a billion other people must have done so already, but if that’s intentional, I’m pretty kitten ed, because it’s been annoying me quite a bit.

I didn’t see the release note for that. Until now :/ I hope they will change it soon too!
