Guild Wars 2

I have a small suggestion to the developping team from Anet. You often release new finishers for us, players to buy but we can not see how the finisher looks like. Yes, Dulfy makes quite fast videos about the new finishers but seeing on Youtube is not same as in-game.

For this reason I might suggest a preview kind of preview button like with armor. So it shows a short clip of the finisher or create a separate environment in Pvp in which we can compare all the finishers. Or give everyone like 5 tries to see the finisher. It’s maybe a small thing in the game but in my opinion it can be a value for lots of players. I hope for a response because i think this is a rather interesting idea.

Let us hope it might get implented some time.

Easy solution: Add a vendor to the pvp lobby that gives you 5 charges of every finisher. That way you can preview him 5 times and then decide. (They already have the tech in place to only sell an Item once per account (→Laurel Vendor One-Time Purchase))

yes the implementation is for the technical staff but the possibility of a preview would be a very interesting thing to me and many others as well i think.

I agree a preview in game would be a fantastic addition. I know I can see them on youtube but then the resolution isn’t always good and it’s just kind of a pain in the kitten to look them all up.

Here’s an idea:
Have a few stockpiles with items that can be picked up. Picking up these items replaces your weapon skills with finishers. Kind of like how picking up a fireworks pack gives you skills 1-2-3 for different fireworks, but instead we could just have the finishers. You play around with it a bit, see what the finishers look like, and then can buy one later. There’s no worry about actually giving anyone limited-use things.

They actually kinda had a bit of a ‘finishers sample’ back with the old PvP rewards. I think it was in the Mystery Coffers or Tourney Chests, but I got a number of consumable finishers that were limited from such. Would be neat if they did so somehow again. It’s the reason I bought the Sanctified Finisher.
