    Core Gw2 Was baby Mode easy. 

    So they thought "Hey let's go from easy to normal mode with HoT". 

    But because the playerbase was only used to baby mode difficulty, people got decimated left and right by trash mobs. 

    So they made HoT easier. After launch. 

    With PoF, they learned that their playerbase can't handle above baby mode difficulty or has any willingness to learn even the most basics of combat. 

    So they stuck to that since. And if they up the difficulty even a little bit, the forum gets flooded with a tsunami of tears. 

    See Soo-Won, Eparch, Umbriel etc. 

    HEy now... Pocket Raptors were LETHAL at launch lol

  2. There is a decoration called Lit Wagon that has a tooltip that shows the lanterns glowing. However, when you craft it, there ARE lanterns but they do NOT light up. They are not lit by default and there is no way to interact with it... VERY frustrating as I was planning on using is for my spooky Halloween setup and now I have wasted resources on what I thought was a "Lit" Wagon because silly me, it's called "Lit" Wagon...

    I somewhat agree. We've gotten by with a 2000 decoration cap on guild halls, but even that is a struggle when players add things like jumping puzzles into the instance. The homesteads should probably add to the decoration count with the new content in increments as mastery upgrades. Reason? We got people already hitting the 1000 decoration cap and they don't even have a Joko statue yet. Once we get hundreds of new decorations people won't be able to use them because they overfilled their instances. They will need to wipe their instances clean to cap out their instances with all of the variants of Joko statues! That's not fun.

    Yeah I'm sitting at 860 as I am saving space for Mad King and Wintersday. Sadly, once I use those remaining spots up I will have a MASSIVE swath of empty land between the Homestead house and the cliffs at the coast.

    Another thing that's currently shocking me is the limit. Remember, this area is huge and going up high as hell.

    If I read this right, we can only use 250 pieces of each item to build up.

    And the biggest thing seems to be only 1000 decorations for the whole area and 360 already pre-used from the current setup. So we can build up only about 700 more items for this total place ? Did I read this right?

     

     

    You can build 250 of every item but you can only place 1k total items which is ridiculous...

    You might have seen it already. But there is no point to deleting crafted housing decorations.

    You can make up to 250 of each decoration. Not 1000 in total. It does not cost inventory/bank space either. Its just a number in your available crafted decoration vault.

    Unplaced decoration items do not count towards the 1000 placed decorations limit. Placed decoration items can be put back in storage and obviously not count to the limit anymore as they are not placed. So you can have many 1000s of crafted items... just not place more then 1000 at a time.

    The homestead comes with 300+ placed items... if not done already you might wish to put unwanted ones in storage to free itemcount space.

    As someone who is at the limit, rest assured that 1000 placed decorations is not nearly enough by far...

    How big is our Homestead? I 'll say no bigger that 25% of our biggest Guild Halls, namely Glided Hollow and Lost Precipice, both with huge multi-tiered terrains.

    For Homestead small area, ANet is considered generous to set limit at 1000. Our Guild Halls decor limit was increased from 1000 to 2000 in 2016 and then we are stuck with this 2000 limit for 8 years, given the hundreds of new decorations that were being released over the years.

    If homesteaders are complaining 1000 limit for such a small area is not enough, then Guild Hall decorations limit need to increase to 4000 at least 🍦

    Lol and guild halls are filled with SEVERAL pre made buildings and structures... Guild Halls don't gave giant swaths of empty space. There's verticality, tunnels, water features, loads of stuff...

  7. I've noticed when placing and picking up random items, sometimes it will count that item as 1 sometimes as 2... There appears to be no rhyme or reason behind it. Not even the difference is static. For instance I pickup a Kodan Wall, and it will count for 1 then I place it again and it counts for two. Then I pick it up again and it counts for 1, then replace it and it counts for 2. It's totally random. And it appears to be affecting all decorations.

    I love everything about this conversation.  

    I also shared this request with the team--obviously no promises but I did pass it along!

    By the gods please make sure they name it just "Steve" lol

    The grass goes into storage just fine.

    And 1000 decorations is plenty for people who don't feel the cringey compulsion to come to the forums/FB/Reddit/etc to humblebrag....

    "Will lower end computers struggle? Sure. But at least give us the option if we have the capability to make something truly great..."

    Well, at least you're up front about how you prioritize your homestead over other players' gaming experience. 🙄

    "Will lower end computers struggle?" You knew exactly what I meant... that they would struggle to render when approaching the cap in THEIR Homestead... Simple solution as with any game, don't push your computer beyond it's capabilities. Decorate as much as you can and leave it at that.

     

    It takes an absolute leap of mental gymnastics to think I meant "raise MY cap and I don't care if other struggle because I placed 2k decorations."

    Yeah there are more then 250 decorations placed as a gift when you get the homestead all the grasses, furniture and pillars and walls. This was done to not overwhelm the players with a completely empty bare land. 

    Now.. you can remove (store), edit and move all of those. Put on the x ray to see what is already placed. 

    You can only place 1000 in total on the map. So therefore, i have redone the circled wall. Saving up a lot of decorations in can place. 

    Evidently there is multiple bugs possible doing that.

    1) the grass never goes to your deco storage

    2) if you clear all your decorations it has led to a bug where you can't decorate beyond the wall...

    I would advise against this.

    there are a ton of things you can remove if you are that hard pressed for adding more.   All of the Kodan walls that circle the Homestead can be removed.   Most, if not all the grass can be removed (you'd be surprised how many there are in the zone)  I think there was like 300 or so assets there even before you start decorating, so eliminating the unnecessary stuff with go a long way in helping with the 1000 item cap

    Why would I want to remove the grass? It's a part of the environment that makes it look real...

    I'll adjust the fence at some point using larger wall sections... 

    All that said, that will barely make a dent in what is needed...

    I know, but they've also said before there's only so much they can do with the decoration caps before it hit a limit on what the engine can handle. If - and I don't know if it has - if it has hit that limit, then I'm not sure what's left to be done. A finite limit will always exist. 

    I'd be keen to know if the cap is reached and whether this can be put to bed after all these years

    Then the physical size of the homestead map should have been drastically decreased...

    1. the armor set was marketed as WvW-exclusive. You knew what you bought.

    2. You still got that thing, it was added to the game with the product you bought, you just don't want to go and get it. 

    Why did you quote me, quoting someone, implying their words were mine?!

  14. Preface- This is coming from someone with essentially unlimited funds that is capable of truly stress testing this new game feature.

    Currently, I have capped both week refinements. On tp of that probably purchased an additional 500g in "Black Market Refined materials".  I can FIRMLY say the cap of 1000 decorations is WAY too low. I am currently sitting at 740/1000 and I still have two rooms, two hallways, a basement, a kitchen left to finish decorating. I'm pretty sure that will put me at the cap. I've added a couple dozen trees to the Homestead Grounds inside the wall to give it a more forested look. I've added a Grenth tree and 3 gravestones near the coast as a memorial to player friends who have passed. I've also created a temple structure at the coast but haven't decorated it yet due to being so close to the cap.

    There is still a MASSIVELY EMPTY barren wasteland covering the rest of the homestead. As new decorations get added like additional structural items (walls, rooftops, windows, etc), I'd love to be able to add additional buildings making a small village area in this HUGE open space.

    We shouldn't have to choose between what to place and what not to place. Forced to choose on how well decorated and lived in we want things to look. SOOOOOOO much potential and space is going to get wasted! I am almost at cap and am getting ZERO lag and loading issues. Will lower end computers struggle? Sure. But at least give us the option if we have the capability to make something truly great...

    TLDR; The decoration cap needs to be raised to a minimum 2000 to 3000
