Guild Wars 2

It took the wardrobe system to get me interested in skins and cosmetics. Big thank you to ANet for that! One thing I noticed while playing with it last night was that there were a number of moments while looking through gear, especially for head and hand pieces, where I thought to myself “What just changed?”. A lot of equipment pieces are very detail oriented, and it was frequently unclear as to what the features of a particular piece actually were. My natural reaction to this was to hover my mouse over the Equipment Preview window and scroll my mouse wheel up, but all this did was zoom in my in game character camera.

To help with the Equipment Preview experience, I would like to see two features implemented. The first is the ability to zoom in and out within the Equipment Preview window. The second is the ability to resize the Equipment Preview window, and have your character model scale to the window size. These features would make the Equipment Preview experience closer to character creation, which I think would be great for checking out skins in the wardrobe.

I would like to see this added for Equipment preview, Gem Store preview, and the Hero window (Equipment/Wardrobe/Dye).

You can get a closer view by going into Graphics options and changing UI size to “Larger”. But you probably want to change it back again for gameplay. Would be much more convenient if there was a built-in zoom.
