Guild Wars 2

I’m really hoping with Player Houses/Guildhalls that if they have to go instanced, that it appears as little instanced as possible. Two main things come to mind for this:

1) Ensure Map chat for the city/zone is still accessible from within the instance

2) Make it so that when you are in the instance you can still see the true zone outside. This means if you are in your instance and any other player runs by the building outside, you can see them do this. Essentially standing in your instance should appear (from the inside) no different to not standing in an instance.

3) Find ways to make the inside of homes/guildhalls truly visible from outside the instance (including players, trophies, etc), eg:
a) Load the inside for for owners/members only so that everyone can see inside their own instance from the city zone. It’d make running up to your home a personal “drawing back the curtain”.
b) Showcase player’s buildings for others to see from the outside. Eg, a random player/guild’s building is selected daily or hourly to be able to be seen from outside the instance; allow players to spend gems to make their building a showcase for a hour/day/week; make it a reward for player/guild accomplishments. This would be only through an opt-in privacy setting for the building.

This suggestion is made in the view that if the Devs go ahead with the lesser of all evils, then I hope they still try to reduce the visible appearance of it.
