Guild Wars 2

I feel like at some point housing may be introduced in the future – maybe in a 3rd expansion if things persist.
The only thing I’d be worried about is that all of the housing looks exactly alike and items are only added through achievements or completing an event but you can’t actually customize anything- like the personal home instance is now – but hopefully that won’t be the case. Not something like Skyrim either, where the equipment is there and set up with limited customization and you just have to buy it and the rest acts as storage.
I’m kind of hoping for something with much more personalized customization similar to how Wildstar’s homes work.
Actually I would love for something like that – especially with all of the potential that GW can run with.
With Several ways to acquire items through a housing vendor the currency would be with coin, gems, karma, LS currencies like unbound magic etc. HoT currencies like Airship parts.
Ahh the possibilities would be epic
that is IF we ever get personal housing with core customization.

housing is so much better then guildhall……seriously, as a casual pve player..i have a guild, but every time i go in our guildhall, it just feels like some one else’s place…

I hope they come up with something very like what ESO has, except without the insane mats grind and low item slots per house (each item takes a slot, so a spoon costs you as much allotment as a huge wood platform).

Add in choices of buildings and placement in housing areas thereof, and GW2 housing will be amaaaaazing.

Nice! I like this idea. Our home instance could contain this house that is fully customizable. It could also let you display personal achievements as trophies. Probably just have the entire home instance customizable so you can not only create your own house, but other buildings like an armory for example where you can display your armor and weapon collections.

This will give people more things to do within the game and also let this be a sink for consuming the various materials and help drive the economy.

I admit, the ESO housing has zero interest since it has no function outside of a coin/material sync. If it was more like Skyrim then that would be different. To me the home instance and Guild Halls have more value since you can acquire materials from them and do things like crafting. That said for the people that like the ESO model I could see how they could fit housing space into the home instances and allow for both functionality and give people things to acquire/build for their home. A separate place in the instance that people can then setup but the nodes, chests, racks that are already designated would be accessible in the portion that the player does not change.

if we could customize our own home instance the way we want it would already be easier to do what housing does, it already exists.

I just capped a guild hall for my personal use. It’s lvl 27 now.

It does well being my personal housing with my personal decorations.

I’d love to see personal housing, whether it has a practical purpose or not. But I don’t want to be stuck in our home instance. I want a hunting lodge out in the hills somewhere. Or maybe a little tower overlooking the sea in the Wizard’s Fief.
