			Yes. I learned how to preview items tonight. It is very exciting. I thought you had to put them in a costume slot after you bought them to see them. The veggies were all squeaking with happiness that I finally figured it out! :) you right click then preview item. Its awesome. Also super rad. And gangster.	
----
			Yeah, they should probably be more clear about the costume preview option. I didn't know about it for quite some time. XD	
----
			It's been in the game for a while, but it sucked.  Now you can preview items you can't equip (which, technically, you can equip anything as a costume, so the change is good) and you can preview more then one thing at once! Yay.  Nice to see WS catching up to 2014, albeit slowly :P	
----
			Still can't preview quest rewards as far as I'm aware, which is a shame.

No, you cannot equip anything as a costume. You may only equip armor that you can actually wear that is your level or below. You may however equip all other armor regardless of level. For instance my level 33 slinger cannot costume a level 50 light armor chest piece, however she can equip a medium or heavy armor chest piece of any level and just so to prove to myself I wasn't talking out my own arse I just verified this in game.

when i control right click on an item in a vendor inventory there is a drop down menu option "preview item". but it doesnt work (nothing is previewed).
 
classic cheap programming.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Also note this poses a serious costuming set back for heavy armor wearers as they are able to wear all classes of armor thereby eliminating anything above their level as a costume. obviously the same holds true for the medium armor wearers but not quite to the same extent.

Everyone can wear anything as cosmetic, as long as it's not above their level. So my usually-light-armor-only Esper can wear full Heavy Armor as a costume. :)

No this is completely wrong, please read what I wrote, your light armor wearing esper can wear any non light armor regardless of level, your light armor wearing esper can not wear light armor above her level.
 
Heavy and medium armor wearers can only wear armor above their levels that they can't actually equip, such as medium armor class can costume heavy armor over their level not however medium or light armor, and heavy armor classes get truly borked as they can only costume armor that is their level or lower because they can actually equip all armor classes. i verified this before posting this info.
----
			
hmm. then its a bug with my game.
but no, I cannot preview items. only decors. from vendors.
 
Ill try a client repair.	
----
			
update: its the addon SPACESTASH. it will bug the preview function. removing it makes it ok.
 
just thought i'd let you guys know :)

That bug still in there? Strange. If you read your own words, you would see it's just a bug. If I wear light-armor normally, I can wear anything BUT light armor cosmetically regardless of level? That doesn't make any sense. ;)
----
			I learned something new today! Yay for item preview I never knew existed.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
of course it does, as a light armor wearer you can't even equip med or hvy armor, as a hvy armor wearer you can equip it all. as a med armor wearer you can equip light and med so would not be able to use as costume. pretty sure this wai and not a bug, if it were why was it not in the 100 pages of bugs they fixed surely to goodness it couldn't be that difficult to sort.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
It's a bug.  I'm a Stalker using heavy armor as a costume.  You should be able to use any armor as a costume except for a) class restricted items, and b ) items with a level requirement you do not meet.
 
I'm aware of a bug that is still allowing you to wear items as costumes for which you do not meet the level requirement.
----
			
So... if I understand this correctly..... you're saying because Heavy Armor classes can technically wear all class of armor, they get screwed out of using "higher level costume pieces" since they can naturally equip the gear.
 
Level 10 Light armor class - wearing level lv 50 heavy costume = yes.
Level 10 Heavy armor class - wearing level 50 heavy costume = no  ( due to being able to equip it normally)
 
Is that what this is about? if so, sounds like a bug.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
ok let me try this one more time, yes light armor wearers can wear all armor above their level except for light armor, medium can wear all armor above their level except light and medium and hvy gets screwed because they can't wear anything above their level. why is this you might ask? because only light armor wearers are restricted to actually being able to equip one class of armor, medium can equip two classes and heavies can equip them all. yes it may be true that this is a bug however it's one that has persisted since launch and i'm fairly certain that if it were in fact a bug it would have been rectified in one of the many hotfixes. if it's wai then who knows why they did it that way. either way it's stupid and just one of the very many stupid things carbine has implemented in a game that should be *cupcake*ing amazing and is actually just broken

Level 10 Light can wear anything as a costume other than light armor higher than their own level. So Level 10 Light can costume level 12 medium and heavy but not light armor.
 
Level 10 Heavy can only costume armor within their level range
 
And I have claimed it was or wasn't a bug, what I've said is if it's a bug it's persisted since launch and has been reported, if it's wai then it's a stupid idea.
 
 
Please not that I never said that being able to wear any type of armor is stupid, what I said was if it's a bug then it's one that was persisted since launch and if its wai then it's a stupid idea.

{| class="blockquote"
They're tried fixing the "wearing stuff above your level as a costume" bug at least one time that I'm aware of since launch.  Personally, it really doesn't bother me since 1-49 is a transient period.

Perhaps for you but there are lots of folks that aren't leveling at the same rate as others and dare I say may never break 25 as the roleplay, housing features keep them busy and not being able to costume their characters is irksome.

i am AS OF THIS VERY MOMENT, decked out in heavy and medium armor on my Spell Slinger. So either its a bug, or a unique issue for some because i can screen shot the fact that im wearing medium and heavy as costume sets. and ive been doing so since about lvl 14-15 (before drop 3)

That doesn't appear to be his problem.  His problem is that apparently some classes can use other armor types with level requirements above their level, but heavy armor users can't use lower armor types with level requirements above their levels... or something like that.

Spend a few days levelling up with all that rested XP they've accumulated.  I've only played my Esper for 3 days and I got her to 31.

You're using a lot of words and examples to describe a problem without actually making a coherent thesis statement about what the problem actually is.  That's why nobody knows what the hell you're talking about.
 
So your complaint is that you can't use higher level gear as a costume anymore is that it? 
 
If so WAI.  You're not supposed to appear higher level than you actually are.  Looking cooler is one of the benefits of levelling and a standard carrot on a stick in every MMO ever made.

The only thing that doesn't make sense about it to me is that light armor is still restricted!
 
One of the best things about TERA's old costuming system was the lack of level restriction. xD
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Or if you happen to be a warrior or engi everything is restricted above your level.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Maybe that's not a good thing in your eyes, but as I said, looking cooler is part of the carrot on a stick of levelling up.
----
			
The carrot on the stick approach only works the first time. That is, I level up my first character, get money, gold and experience to buy the things I want. Then I make an alt and...I have to start all over. Suddenly the "carrot" doesn't look as alluring anymore. And it will only get worse as the number of alts the player has increases. 
 
There's no good reason to place cosmetics on a level requeriment. If the player can afford the item with their hard earned digital gold, let them. It's cosmetic anyway.
