Gaellus.6081 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Maybe i'm spoiled in other games but i'm quite used to the possibility to see the equipment of other players. With this I mean the hero screen of other players. Because sometimes I see people with cool looking gear and then it is impossible for me to know what it is. Of course I can ask, which is not a problem and this is what i'm doing at the moment, but it would be handy if we could just right click a player and "view equipment".

Enoah.1956 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I've been thinking about this too a few times. But then I guess asking is better. Because, social interaction and all. I see people do it sometimes. It can be a conversation starter/ice-breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I'd prefer not to see an inspect equipment feature due to the misuse of it in team situations. I don't think we need more avenues to exclude players than are already cropping up. A social inspect function however I'm sure would be welcomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosmaster.8263 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 As long as it's restricted to just the view, name of the skins and/or transmuting. No stats!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calb.3128 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Rather than "view equipment", what about "view wardrobe" or something of the like which would allow you to view only the equipped weapon/armour _skins_? I'm not convinced it would be worth the effort and additional clutter, and I agree with @"Enoah.1956" re interaction, but it's a halfway house.

Sombra.3246 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 > @"Oglaf.1074" said: > It would make Raiding even worse, so no thanks. It would make it better, because you will know if your team mates are really able to raid instead about just lying about their gear and getting carried in the raid.

Shirlias.8104 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I do agree if they will also introduce a way to forbid other players from inspecting ( everything, from traits to equip, from dyes to skins ). The possibility to share should be allowed but should also remain a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it would make it an even more toxic cesspool than it already is. And this is coming from someone with full legendary armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxic people will be toxic and salty under any circumstance. But I can see your point, there is a lot of salt already in general in raiding, pvp and wvw.

Enoah.1956 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 If people would exclude you from raiding by looking at your gear, don't you think that you perhaps wouldn't want to be raiding with them in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadFable.1978 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 No. Elitists will use it to exclude people from groups. And even if you would or would not want to raid/dungeon/fractal/pvp with these people are not. You sometimes cannot control if they are in the group, or the group leader. Gear checking would be more likely to become an "acceptable" practice. So again. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khailyn.6248 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 If this is done , it should be restricted to Wardrobe only. and maybe some hints like an achievement title on how to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embered.5089 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I agree with the others. Wardrobe only, but I'd prefer to just have people asking each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can see your point, there is a lot of salt already in general in raiding, pvp and wvw. I honestly find it more amusing watching someone die quickly in a raid than gear checking them. Makes it a more fun scene when your Commander loses his shit over it. *Sips tea* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 This was considered before, but anet opted against this because toxic societies can inspect people against their will. Sadly the argument of giving permission won’t work because then LFG will have lots of requests to inspect gear “can’t join this raid or fractal if you won’t let me inspect”. Lots of people will use the inspection tool as intended, but sadly, like any MMO gw2 has a large toxic playerbase that only want perfect parties, and will abuse this oppertunity at every corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arlette.9684 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Considering how apparently restrictive the game engine is (as @"Raymond Lukes.6305" likes to point out, time and time again). I do not think, that kind of a feature is in the cards for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
