ok so ive been going back to my home instance every 10 lvls or so on my toons to see this “amazing variation” and “myriad of changes” that are supposed to occur based on my personal story and the choices i make, such as “special vendors” and “new buildings,” but i have yet to see anything all that unique.

i mean yeah in my charr home i have a few npcs like clement forktail, reeva, and the “blacksmith,” along with some ogres, but compared to my friend whos got clawspur, the vigil guy, and some grawl thats really the only differences. simply adding npcs from the story that i cant even interact with while in my home instance is a bit of a bummer, personally.

am i missing something? or is the home instance really just that lackluster?

I think I agree that the personalisation wich is import to call it home, isn’t working properly. I expected more from it too. I do hope that Arenanet is doing more with it in the near future.

A few suggestions: Add changes to the zone throught the gemstore (example certain flowers for the asura one, and certain banners (with your own design?) for the human one)

Also add some things you can get ingame by doing scavenger hunts. For example a black lion trade post or a crafting station. Make it difficult enough to be challenging, but interesting enough for people who want it, to get it.

At a room of achievements to it like the HoM in GW1.

Last of all, make it easier to return home by adding a travel button to your personal story tab in ‘h’ (much like the travel to the heart of the mist button in sPvP window). I know this would mean people could travel to their home town for free, but this is already the case through lion’s arch.

Just my thoughts off course.

Arise, ye farmers of all nations
Arise, opressed of Tyria!
