Guild Wars 2

I remember in WoW there was a return to stone that allows you to return to whatever home you have set up was wondering if Gw2 will have this. the stone is simple

you can only use the stone once per day (daily reset)
you can only warp to your racial city (humans devinity reach)
and the stone is soulbound on aquire.
depending on what race gets the stone it will look like this
Human: Trinkit
Norn: wood carving
Charr: totum
Asuran: crystal
Savarian: flower

the stone is a free Waypoint travle. and is aquired or can be aquired by doing a scavenger hunt of the players racial status. humans will have a scavenger hunt around devinitys reach exc.

just wondering what you guys think of this idea

i like it! yes!

No.

Is that 1s-5s really killing you? Man, times are hard.

I agree with Guardian. not because I hate making things easier for people but because gold-sinks serve a purpose in mmo’s. and what difference would once per day mean except to get a new call of 2,/3/4/5 times a day?

I think travel to the home city should be free. So more people do don’t hang out in just LA.

Already exists. Go to the Mists and port to LA. 100% free.

To add a completely useless item for the sole purpose of doing something which is already possible is …. pointless.

There’s time cost.

The other cities lack things that LA has. PvP area, portal to warp to any other city.

Time cost?

It’s already free to use the portals. So why not save players the time of having to go through LA in get to our home cities.

It’s one extra portal, less than 30secs of a loading screen to get to a place people rarely go…

Plus a minute of running from the PVP area to the portals.

It also is taxing on the LA server and the Mists servers. Putting them into overflow because players decide to do their business in LA.

Players need to be spread out into the other cities. By giving them free direct access to their home cities. This would also save Anet money by reducing the number of overflow servers.

You can get to LA for free using the mists, but it means everyone goes to LA. The other cities are underutilized. Instead of the Black Citadel being a gathering spot for Charr, Divinities Reach for humans, etc, everyone stands around in LA. It would give the game a bit of flavor if each race could hearth and gather around at their racial city. You could still use the mists if you wanted to go to LA instead.

It takes me longer to run to the LA portal than it takes to load the Mists. All in all, spending 10 secondfs to save 3s … gladly

SSD for the win, these things have become dirt cheap in the last year.

What kind of computer are you playing on that it takes you a minute in the pvp areas? You have direct access to home cities. The fact that it takes one more portal than going to the main city shouldn’t make a difference. I never go to LA and avoid it at all costs. I’m always in The Grove or Hoelbrak. Never had an issue with getting there or worrying about “time costs”.

PvP area in LA.

You are just trolling my post.

Just make it teleport any race to Lion’s Arch.

Or perhaps even better: You use it in any city, it remembers your location (for example, next to the bank), so you can teleport back to it later. Like a scroll of town portal.

You either pay time or you pay silver to travel.
