Guild Wars 2

So this is kind of a big deal in every light and mid armor character’s opinion. You can’t preview the Radiant skins (and presumably the other ones) with light or mid armor on. Okay, technically, you can. But the preview deletes your armor and makes it impossible to check wether or not the skin actually fits the whole image. It works fine for heavies. Light and Mid in underwear + one piece of armor.

Quick workaround: use the preview in the PvP locker.

well the problem with that is, that u wanna check it out with the armor u are wearing in pve and wvw and not the spvp one and also with your current armor dye. i coulnt either and now i got a graphical bug with it and wasted my profane gloves on that.oh well at least i can make them invis.

Screenshots of this issue. The image shows that I am clearly a Necromancer and wear light armor, but the achievement chest award screen presents me with a Heavy version of the skin to preview.

Upon accepting the Radiant gloves skin, the skin in my inventory also shows a preview of the Heavy version, thus removing my armor in the preview. The skin that is now in my Achievement Unlocks also shows the Heavy version upon trying to preview it, as well as the additional skin in my inventory that I manually withdrew from the unlock panel.

i had same issue i have sent a support ticket in with a short video with it

confirmed bug on medium armour also (as the skin always previews as the heavy version).

if you want to preview this on your light/medium armour set, you can ask somebody who has already skinned their light/medium armour with this to link you their item, this then previews the correct armour type.

I’m sure arena net are aware of this bug and working to fix it soon.

ps. there is no need to make support tickets for bugs with the game, as there is nothing wrong with your game client or pc that can be fixed, but please do use the report a bug feature. (game menu, support, report a bug).

This issue has also been reported here.
