Guild Wars 2

How about giving us some new gem store options to customize the mostly pointless home instance, because why not? Consider these for starters:

Useful NPC’s

• Golem banker
• Standard merchant
• Black Lion Trader
• Guild NPC’s
• etc.

More gathering nodes

• Pristine Toxic Spore Sample
• Iron/Platinum/Mithril 3-pack
• etc., but see below

Feedback – Basic Ore Node Pack
Guild/consumable/banner/etc gathering bonuses apply to the yield from every gathering node in the game except these three.

I realize it said right on the description 3 ore, but all mining nodes have a minimum of 3 output regardless of type or tool quality. Mining a node means you swing a pick 3 times, resulting in no less than 1 item per strike, usable or not. I figured that was a guaranteed minimum instead of an output cap and that they would work like any other node of their type, but they don’t.

Was it the intention to make these noticeably inferior to literally all other nodes in the game, especially the others in the home instance? If so, please disregard the above node suggestions because if hard-capped at minimum output like these are, they’re not worth buying.

i would like them to add more stuff to the home instances but it seems that they gave up on the whole concept early in the game’s life. it’s a real shame.

you may be interested in my thread “new building skill and player owned houses” in the gw2 discussion forum it has alot of detailed ideas on how to expand the home instance into its own full skill from lv 1 to 500 with dozens of new uses

Given how the game soon after release when through a drastic deviation, I suspect they were hoping the fix it while they work on an expansion and that totally blew in their faces.

One thing I would like to see in the Home Instances is a place to store those little mementos you get through the Personal Story, like the Infinity Ball or the Lion’s Arch banner (when you take back Claw Island).

More ways to make the home instance more useful and interesting the better. +1.

I was really hoping this will be implemented with LS Season Two.

I also wish I was able to have a home instance in Lion’s Arch eventually. While I enjoy the mining nodes and such, I would also like a banner displaying my current guild emblem over my door and furniture I can interact with.

I would buy T2-5 Nodes for my Home Instance in a heartbeat.
