I was wondering if there will be a wardrobe function, where I can click an item or link to item and see what it would look like on me? EQ2 has said function and I really like it alot, especially because sometimes items icons didnt match the look of an item very well, and though I liked the stats, the item looked horrible when worn.
Big upvote from me on this, especially if we're going to have cosmetic gear. I spent far too much time in LOTRO messing with character appearance and the wardrobe functions were a big part of that. I know some folks are down on cosmetics because they've seen it so very poorly implemented in previous games. I think LOTRO was quite successful in providing a wide variety of realistic and lore-appropriate appearances. Cosmetics and character appearance have a direct impact on my desire to roleplay my character or even whether I feel connected and invested in my character when adventuring.
If there's no cosmetic gear, then I'm not sure a wardrobe function matters. You're going to wear whatever gear gives you the stats you need for a specific encounter, regardless of whether it makes you look like an ogre pimp.
Isn't this where someone dives in and says "ugh, lazy modern convenieces!" "it ruins role-playing - you should have to go and get that piece and put it on to see what it looks like!"
Lol.
Yeah, I'd like a wardrobe function. People are going to want to put links in trade and, personally, one part of a pieces value is whether it looks good or not, so if I'm going to bid on something, I'd like to know what it looks like on me.
