Hello everyone,
this is a topic that bother's me since I started playing ESO and with housing I think it's more necessary than ever, to be able to get a nice, big, realistic preview of what I'm about to craft.
The problem that I have is that there is basicly no preview right now, except this tiny little icon (which we haven't even got on all housing items, on some we can't see anything at all). So this icon gives you kind of an idea of what your item is gonna look like. An idea. It's not like that it's gonna be exactly as it's shown. Especially when it comes to crafting armour and weapons. When I crafted my first gear I found out soon that you don't really get what you see, so I had to check some websites where some nice players showed previews of every single armor and style.
Well I could live with that. It's not very practical and I really hoped they would change something about it, since a lot of people shared my opinion, but it was nothing that I was too annoyed about.
With housing the game changed though, in my opinion. Housing is a huge gold sink. So if I decide to craft an item with some expensive material, I wanna be able to see what it's gonna look like. I don't wanna craft something and then I realise that I think it's ugly and I don't wanna keep this in my house. Yeah, I could destroy it. But I don't even get material back.
That's a big no no for me.
Please ZOS, please implent a (better) preview.

Shouldn't have to use a third party. This should just be implemented into the game. Same with previewing weapons/armor/Furnishing before buying it from Guild Traders. Common sense.

Cool I didn't know about that, thank you But it's only for armor, sadly. For me personally it's the thing with the furniture, that you can't really see what it's gonna look like. Edited by Liley on March 11, 2017 7:12AMPC | EU

Definitely shouldn't but now they have preview crafting for furniture it makes sense that they will add it in for gear crafting too. The addon existing may very well push ZOS to do it since they can see it is possible with the APIGold Dragons Guildmaster PC-NACR2000+Kalthar Wolf-Brother – EP Templar - 50 Maeli Valen - EP NB - 50Naps-During-Trials – EP Templar - 50Rulnakh - EP Sorc - 50Azrael Krieg - EP NB – 50Uvithasa Telvanni – EP DK – 50More-Tail - EP Warden - 50Narile Galen - EP Sorc - 50Bone Soldier - EP Necro - 50Naps-During-Trails - EP Necro - 500 -

Yes, you get an preview in the crown store for costumes, so they have most of the code already.andreasranasen wrote: »AzraelKrieg wrote: »If you're on PC, there is an addon. Look up Crafting Preview on ESOui or Minion.

Same with furniture, you can preview in home but not then buying.
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0 -

Yes of course! But I'd like to see same preview window we currently have for costumes and Furnishing also for guild traders!#VMATOKENSYSTEM #WEAPONDYE #TRAITCHANGE #CROWNCRATELOVER- Alliance/Platform: Aldemerii - PS4/NA - CP 800+

You saved me a lot of money, thank you
Still, I think this should be in the basic game. with every addon you install, you can get problems with other addon's etc. Why should players do all the work. And after all, only PC users can use these.PC | EU
