It could be a good compromise to make it required for that person to be online before a person in the guild or friend list can visit the instance.

Selein.5237 Posted Tuesday at 06:37 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:37 PM This is so much more impressive than I was expecting. Thank you, Anet. My one request is that you let us decorate our Homesteads with decorations we get from raids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLadyOfTheRings.9148 Posted Tuesday at 07:26 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:26 PM Alt characters in our homestead, thank you ArenaNet!! This and all the other features make me so excited for August 20th 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNurgle.4825 Posted Tuesday at 07:43 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:43 PM and this is how you introduce feature which can drain any mats from the trading post. It would be nice to have trophy case and bookshelves. One for all the trophies be it raid bosses or other in game bosses and other for all the books in the game. @Rubi Bayer.8493 any chance to get "bookshelves" in homestead? So we can read any book we collected in the game. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walls, 800 decorations, 3d movement and sizing. Mounts and alts. Instant gathering. 1000 placed decoration limit. And so much more! Indeed! I am extremely surprised, this all looks fantastic. 👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drarnor Kunoram.5180 Posted Tuesday at 07:57 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:57 PM Two things I want to see: 1. Home Portal Stone gets updated to allow us to travel to our homestead. 2. Some sort of library in our homestead to store all of the lore books we've collected and read them at our leisure. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted Tuesday at 08:04 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:04 PM Given that any alts we want to see have to be parked in the homestead (which may mean we have total control over where they are standing in the instance for other alts to see), a couple of things could mitigate the impact on parking elsewhere in the world: put a bank and merchant in the home, if only through a crafting station with a vendor, and/or have leaving the home return you to where you were in the world before, even after an intervening log out. Will the mounts seen in the stables be based on the currently played alt's skins and dyes? Overall this looks way better than my pessimistically low expectations, especially with the new rotation, scaling, and clipping that I am happily surprised to see implemented. I'm excited to start decorating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, total agreement!!!!!! So far, everything else seems pretty cool! So nice to see features from GW1 like the menagerie (stable) and the hall of monuments features (armor stands, etc.) re-imagined. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor suggestion based on what we saw in the video, it would be nice if the manikins had an option to apply a stone or wood texture to them while placing them, so that they can look more like statues rather than just frozen clones of your character.

vrauns.3215 Posted Tuesday at 08:58 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:58 PM 5 hours ago, Lan Deathrider.5910 said: Quick question: Will the auto harvest mechanic allow for the glyphs we have on our tools? If not, will there be an option via the auto harvest interface to use a glyph that we own while the auto harvest happens? As a mechanic the auto harvesting is a great feature, but if I cannot get value from my glyphs at the same time, then I will never use it. Already has that.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted Tuesday at 09:16 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:16 PM One of the decorations shown (in the crafting list) in the video was 'Bookshelf/ves'. I doubt it's what we'd like, but there's always the possibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love this!💖 This is so exciting. Would like to see more activity features too like Wildstar had. I loved the music and setting change options. Like you could change the sky. Miss my hoverboard and skatepark lol. Also hoping for custom puzzles, PvP areas, combat training like class dummies, golems, ect. I hope we can live in a mansion or castle someday🏰✨😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therac.6431 Posted Tuesday at 10:43 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:43 PM Finally Core items (like Molten Core) will get utility, years being junk items... is a good movement, items with amount of 2.300.000 announced on TP without use will finally found their destiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwinLi.1284 Posted Tuesday at 11:16 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:16 PM So other than using our Alts as NPCs for our homestead, will we get customizable NPCs as well for our own homestead as well to provide a bigger population in our homstead?

neoklis.5183 Posted Wednesday at 12:40 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:40 AM This seems a very well thought and thoroughly implemented feature, it is very impressive and it shows the passion the developers have for the game since they could have easily just copy the system for guild hall decorations and call it a day. The attention to detail is amazing and the developers deserve applause, I am excited to see how they expand this system in the future (some ideas are minipet menageries and libraries to store lore books). Gameplay additions such as hide and seek minigame for party members, dueling arenas etc. might make the guild halls obsolete so I'm a bit conflicted whether such addition would be beneficial to homesteads. Nevertheless, this is a very advanced system as it is with great user friendly convenience 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
