In this last beta weekend and resent stress test, the item preview feature was implemented, and people have been going crazy finding all the items they can to show off. Minus user “donoftheslum” hit up the PvP vendors and lockers and captured a metric ton of screenshots for your viewing pleasure.
Here is an example from the Light Armor section:

Most of the light and medium armors are great. Some of the heavy armors are a bit silly looking. The weapons on the other hand are just over the top and goofy. 80% seem to be inspired by Asian fighting games, or Tron. IMO this doesn't match the aesthetic established in the rest of the world.
I like a lot of what is shown but I am really disappointed that nearly all the Hall of Monument weapons are available through PvP rewards. They have clearly stated that there would be no other way to obtain them. :/
@geoff0011 They stated that these are from the lockers and the vendors. I don't think the HoM things would be at the vendors so they just must be in the lockers (although I'm really not sure how the locker works, haven't personally tried it). Everything I have read from the HoM stuff says it's exclusive for HoM and there is no other way to get it. You will be able to summon it from your person in your home instance. I'm assuming that these are just from the locker feature which allows people to preview armor skins they can get and put in there. I'm not 100% sure about how the locker works, so take this with a grain of salt. I'm really, really hoping they didn't go back on the Hall of Monuments skins being exclusive because that would really suck for those of us who worked our tails off to get our 30 or 50 points. But from my understanding of the locker system (which is limited) they probably are just showing skins that you can have and they added the HoM stuff in there to make it so people could see that they could use it in PvP.
Hi everyone, first of all a BIG thanks to “donoftheslum” for taking hundreds and hundreds of screenshots for our pleasure and delight.As far as armors go they blew my expectations completely, I truely think that theres a armor set for everyone out there, and this is without seing them on a more robust model like a male human or norn, and without the use of dyes.As for the weapons I feel like I need to see them in game for some reason I dunno feels like they are efects missing and stuff, also the underwater weapons look a lot better then “land” ones for some reason. Dotn get em wrong most of them look amazing but half of them seem like they are missing something, guess I'l (We'll) have to wait and see.
Oh wow, love the light and medium armors. The light armor is just that, light, so showing some skin is nice :D The medium armor covers significantly more, but it is better that way, and are nice in its own way.
The Heavy armors though... Well it feels kind of underwhelming, to be honest. I was expecting a full set of armor that puts fortresses to shame. Instead what I see is that most of them are just light armor with steel, with only a handful of them are huge and intimidating. I want my woman in bulky armor, dammit!
