Better previews?


Recommended Posts

I'll never understand the Gw2 preview window. It is a shame you can not zoom in and out, or even move the camera.

 

The other part I can not understand is the fact that the menu can be reflected onto the preview window (seriously some weapons can reflect the menu).

Since the menu is reflected, this suggests to me that the menu is another overlay (like a 2nd version of the game running at the same time), if this is the case then camera controls could in theory be added to the menu system, allowing you to zoom in and out, or even moving the camera up and down, see the FFXIV preview window as a key example here.

then why is it a non-issue for me?

the suggested improvement would improve it in one go, a bigger preview doesn't solve anything so don't start with stupid with me.

You are using norn and charr characters and have no issues?

Changing resolution wouldn't solve the issue. The preview window would render within the same space but at a different ratio.

because you haven't bothered to understand the issue before posting?

 

The image OP posted in the very first post is 2,560px × 1,440px

You never answeerd my previous question. You can see all the character+weapon in the preview without the borders cutting the weapon off?

 

EDIT: Can you post a screenshot?

Wait, what are you talking about, what improvements?

The only thing you suggested is to "play the game in a resolution higher than 800X600 - which all of us do, i don't think anybody plays the game in 800x600 and changing the resolutions doens't change previews.

 

I asked you this:

Theese are all your posts in this thread. Please tell me which one answered my question.

I don't see an answer to the question "i play in 1440p - how do i fit the entire character in the preview window". If the "solution" is "don't play in 800x600 - i don't, i play in 1440p which is why i asked you how do i fit a Norn or a Charr in that window and preview greatswords and staffs fully.

 

Also, what are the characters on the screenshot, are they human or norn?

You can zoom your character in the preview window?
