Anet: Here are your mounts, but all the skins are in the store! Players: We want mount skins in-game! Rinse and repeat for skiffs, etc. I expect housing to be no different, but at least there is crafting for it so it won't be totally in-store. I'm not complaining about Anet monetizing this stuff, it doesn't bother me, and they need to keep the lights on, and I've contributed to that extensively over the 12 years of playing. I have more than enough outfits, mounts, gliders, and back pieces, and couldn't care less about skiffs and fishing. If Anet releases something I like, I usually get it, and don't trade gold for gems. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willow.8209 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 i think there could be a screen, where you can see a bigger preview of your skins (or like the wardrobe, unlocked skins too). maybe you can even model them (but appearance reverts to your equipment when you leave the instance or leave the dressing room, unless you specifically chose to spend transmutation charges) On 6/4/2024 at 1:08 PM, DeanBB.4268 said: Gw2efficiency tells me I have 2886 weapon skins unlocked.

Have you seen the new preview of the homesteads yet? They show that you can place armor and weapon rigs. That's exactly what I was talking about. 🙂 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't even look like you had a way to get your look back out of the armor stand. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't even look like you had a way to get your look back out of the armor stand. It doesn't even has anything to do with the wardrobe system at all. It the wardrobe you can (only) see and pick skins one by one. With this armor stand on the other hand you can show a whole outfit, including all dyes at ones. It's not about picking skins and choosing colors, but about showing the endresult. Two different purposes. It's like mannequins in a clothing store, not like clothes racks. Having an option to copy the armor skins+dyes from an armor stand to your current char would be awesome though.

StraightPath.3972 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Trailer looks sick tbh. The only issue I have with the system is that I'm putting stuff in a house and in a field, while seemingly having no say over any of the house or field itself. Supposedly i want a dark swamp instead of a plain. And some sorta small castle instead of a wooden hut. Imagine having your necro, complete with dark lightning wings, and full on edge mode... Displayed in this village hut complete with banjos and cow dolyak sounds coming from stable next to your room.. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they don't. People only see the current armor of the current character. In the homestead you can preserve your outfits even when you change it. -> Memory. And let's be honest, I already told you that some comments before. You are running in circles. Edited June 25 by kiroho.4738 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't care for raids because I think they are a waste of time, but they are coming none the less with this expansion. People that like them are getting them because everyone deserves a little slice of that MMO pie. For people like me, this homestead is worth it in every sense of the word. I can't wait to get my fingers in it to star decorating and building up my little village. Not to mention if they do decide to add more landscapes later to this setting. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuRkEr.9462 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I plan on immedietly remodeling the existing infrastructure. The goal is to have it look nothing like the default hut house thing. Issue might be model limit though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally, housing has been announced, but we have no real information on what this system will be like. Will we have a large instance with other neighbors in their houses, or will it just be another Home Instance with a small decoration system? If it is the Home Instance system redone just to support decorations, it will be another big waste as part of an expansion. unbelievable...... after that 8min video.....and this is your response? lol. how do u see things soo dark. 99.99% others think the opposite. 1 2 2 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
