New Skill Style "Previews"

Apollosipod · February 12

ZOS, if you want to sell us a new skill style can you PLEASE zoom out from the character when we preview it? I was actually looking forward to the Sanguine Style, but I can actually see it. I'm not going to throw crowns at something then have to struggle through the returns issue if it looks terrible (already did that for Malacath's Fury style). I know what my character looks like when holding a bow. It's the skill style I'd like to see. Please and thank you.

yes indeed, previewing Skill Styles is odd

The Sanguine Snipe does not look at all like it does in practice.

I suggested elsewhere but I will repeat it again here for visibility: please give us a preview similar to furnishings for both base skills and skill styles so we can see the animations from all angles and see details and zoom in and out a little bit and compare them properly. Since we already have the functionality in game from furnishing preview it could be a start point for that kind of system.

I agree. We've had this problem with a lot of skill styles where either most of the effects are off-screen because the camera is forced all the way in or some parts don't even play because they require a target.

Then there was the warden bear which would have been ok except it appeared behind your character (and facing away if I remember correctly) and there was no way to move your character or the camera to see it clearly.

The preview function we have is ok for most clothing and cosmetics which are attached to your character, although even then being able to see how they look when you move would be useful. But it really doesn't work for skills.

Does anyone have video of what the skill actually looks like outside of the Crown Store?
Because that preview is absolutely horrendous
