Thank you.

I really wish we could hide those pesky stone stands beneath the Armour Display Case and Weapon Display Case decorations from JW. Having the ability to toggle them on and off would be great QoL as I'd love to place things more accurately in my Homestead without having to clip the stand out of view all the time.

I'd also love a way to make them move around (but I'm not sure how big of an ask that might be).

Minis could also be used as NPC's if we can scale them which would add way more life to our lonely homesteads.

This should be fixed a long time ago, Anet get money from selling chair skins, no?

We can't really have neighborhoods but I think we could have a public board where you can post your homestead for others to visit. You would want to search/filter by name, username, and Homestead type. It would make decorating contests easier to have a community vote. 

I think it could also be a gold sink, where you pay gold to make your homestead public and the longer it's public the more gold it costs. Kinda similar to rent from FFXIV but probably without the scarcity of limited slots. Just an opt in feature 

But, BUT. They need map-specific icons. I was already frustrated moving them back and forth from my bank when we only had three maps. Now we have six, and can expect more.

At minimum, they need a map-identifying icon in a corner or in the center of the heart. I think you could even go further and color the heart to match the corresponding expansion logo.

"His name was Greer. His rot stung the wayfinder's nose MOUNTAINTOP!" 

"MOUNTAINTOP" isn't in the chatbox text, but it is in the soundfile that plays. It needs to be removed. 

When Homesteads were introduced the idea of requiring specific materials for certain decor items I think was valid. Requiring players to go do x-content to get y-decor item is, IMO, largely a good thing to encourage but over time and with the amount of new decor being released I don't think this is currently working as intended. An example would be new Seer decor items require mats like Bricks of Clay which can only be bought by grinding Dry Top events for Geodes. How does grinding your behind off in Dry Top relate to VoE story?

My proposal:

- Reclassify certain decor items as 'Deluxe'. Each require either that map's specific meta reward or a specific item from that map if it has no meta. 'Rare drop decor' like the Gods statues can remain unchanged.

- ALL other decor crafting is standardised. Decor will require x-Refined mats, x-amount of metal ingots/wood planks/material bolts etc PLUS HOMESTEAD CURRENCY. This currency works exactly the same as Research Notes and you trade/break down certain materials to acquire it. Meta reward materials provide the most of this currency, ANET can mess around with the other numbers as they see fit and even changing #s during certain events if they wish. Want to encourage people to a certain map? Just have that map's meta material count double during a set windows.

The idea is to simplify the process of crafting Homestead items while still having material sinks, while also still encouraging players to play certain content.

Underwater? Sure, hold it that way while waving your left hand to swim and navigate. On land? you cannot get so lazy to just set the top body rigging straight out of the underwater rigging and remove the left hand swaying animation. This is not it. I am hoping for a change. I would even settle for some stale land spear stance where we hold the spears two handed like a normal soldier would. It is better that way.

I am in no way shape or form criticizing the team. I am hoping this gets more attention and I can't say I am the only one wanting this revisited. I have raised posts but I figured making multiple duplicate posts are just more annoying then beneficial. But I really wonder why this topic is always ignored.

Also it would be cool if in the north event chain, the final boss would always be Yagon, since it's by far the most fun of the alternatives, and the best boss in the map.

It has big potential to be an amazing map and meta event.

Decoration packages for every race:
Maybe you are working on this right now but at least nowaday we are missing very important bundles. We have the Verdant Homestead Package which comes perfectly for sylvari, but for example asura do not have "their" bundle.

Decoration limit:
I am sure this is harder than it seems but increasing the decoration limit would help. Apart of that when you have reached the limit you cannot just move one decoration, you need to remove it and then add it again.

Comosus Isle fixes and improvements:
I assume this cannot be changed but the zone where we can play feels small. We can barely put decorations in the sea like far away ships or we reach the area limit. This homestead is smaller than the one in Janthir Wilds and has less place to decorate. Also there are some plants that we cannot remove that are floating in the air. And some (¿raptor?) footprints visible only in the shade for some reason.

Heart's Glow fixes and improvements:
The stabled raptor usually has one of the medium armour characters riding it. In some patches the characters are there, in other patches they are not there, I do not know why. But I think it should be just an option. Sometimes I want to take screenshots of all my characters together but one of them is there, riding it, so I have to create a random medium armour character and bring it to the homestead just so my good character is not stuck with the raptor.
...And please shut up the chicken during the day, 😅 I always end putting the enviroment volume to 0. A lower volume or less time would be nice.

Thanks!

And an Orrax Skyscale Skin would be sick, don't know if it is even possible with Skyscales climbing, dodging and fighting animations, but i want it, this dam hungry dragon thing should pay for all the food

Even if it was only 10 songs or something I'd still be happy. 

These recipes should have ZERO additional costs
