Guild Wars 2

I have now noticed an annoyance with the item preview… you can no longer preview things that you cannot equip. Why? I really liked this ability because often times I’d get loot drops that I’d like to save for another one of my toons based on looks.

Or, for instance, some of the things that I previewed on my guardian made me start up an engineer, because of the look I liked by previewing medium armor.

Please bring it back?

Yes this was definitely a feature that i enjoyed about GW2. Often i would see people post up legendary, exotic, or ascended items in town that i would enjoy being able to preview no matter what character i was on. If i were to have to switch to the appropriate character to view that item it would no longer be in the chatbox and i would need to whisper the person who had it to post it again or not be able to see what it looked like =/

Or as the OP said, when i find items that might be interesting on my other chars i would have to make the trip back to town to put it in my bank to preview it on my other character :S This would be alot of extra time and effort.

Was this intended? I would really appreciate being able to have this feature back ^^

For real? That sucks if true.

Edit: Yup, just checked. I REALLY hope this is a bug, cuz it’s horrible.

It might be a bug because a guildy linked a greatsword and I was able to view it as an Elementalist…

It’s a bug. Just like the whole “You can’t transmute while items are equipped” bug. Just wait it out.
