Guild Wars 2

Up until some time recently – possibly this patch – characters had the ability to preview armor of light, medium, and heavy types irrespective of what class they were.

I found this quite useful for a few things, mostly in helping me decide what race & profession combos I wanted to go for. Now, using the PvP locker and item codes, you can only preview armor that is the same type that your class can equip.

Was this intentional? I don’t see the harm in letting you preview other armor, especially if a guildmate has some “oh hey, look at this” item they want to share, or if you just want to see what a certain set of armor looks like.

i to, am having this issue, but some people in map chat were not. i dont believe this is intentional for that reason. i think anet just goofed (again) and will either work to fix it quickly or ignore it. hoping for the best, expecting the worst

I have the issue too. I’m really looking forward to when they will fix it. It’s such a nice feature to be able to preview different armor and clothing.
