Guild Wars 2

This is a huge waste of mats to craft something before being able to preview it and then realizing it is crappy looking. Not everything is listed in the wiki yet. (would been nice if dev’s did this at launch or even now!) I just crafted a “Red Pirate flag” and other then a flag mast pole which you purchase from a vendor, it does not look like a pirate flag nor does it look red(but instead grey) and has no pirate markings on it, (like a skull and cross bones) .. so “let’s make it and see!”…. what a waste. Other then a small flag with more wind movement animation, the “Red flag” is a much better imo. It may have less wind animation, but it is actually red.

Red Pirate Flag left. Red Flag right. Best High performance.

it would be nice to have some kind of preview. I get that its not weapons or armor or something you can equip, but to see the size ratio or how it might look with your design set up would be nice. You get a minimal idea from a little pic but I’d rather have an actual view of how it looks.

Ingame preview option wouldn’t be a bad idea. However, the wiki has a gallery of every single decoration (many with pumpkins for scale)

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Decoration
Just click the links for the various categories and there’s a gallery.

The only omission is the large guild banner because, as far as anyone knows, it is impossible to obtain.

I’m sure it’s just a forum bug but you’ve created the same thread twice, with slightly more text in this thread.

The wiki does not have everything yet. Pirate flags being one of those things as well as some others not listed. I believe the wiki is player generated? but why couldn’t the dev’s list these pics here before launch?

You are correct, looks like the decorations that require the mast are also missing.
