Guild Wars 2

I want a future house building feature that allows us to build walls and floors to make our own designs thats separate from Guilds and for personal use.

Something similar to Rift’s dimensions would be great feature here. Great new way for Horizontal Progression.

gaining new parts for building your instanced home.

note: no way am I suggesting any open world housing. That never works out well in populated MMOs.

+ people want this since gw2 release 3 years ago. Would be a pretty awesome feature!

I just hope they do housing right. It should be in the open world like doac, vangaurd, archeage, did theirs. Not instance crappie like eq2 did. Funny thing is I’m amazed that they haven’t put housing in the game already because of the amount of money they would make from sell stuff for you’re house on the gem store

While it’s true they could make a bucketload of cash (and them some) for any housing items/skins etc, I think they have not really been hurting for cash yet to have to depend on such things.

Anet has done what was right to do first before adding such things as housing. That being getting the backbone of the game in place before working on the extra things. By backbone I mean things like holiday events and such. They worked on this the first year and it took up a big chunk of resources. The pay off was worth it tho as it’s in place now pretty much and all they need to do is pop it back into the game during those times and maybe tweak it here and there.

Of course they didn’t only work on that, they have also been perfecting the living story side of the game as well as many QOL things, bug fixing and balancing issues.

It’s obvious they have got a lot of that out of the way now thus why they can now move forward with such things as expansions and all the other goodies we may want.

I agree with the OP however and you that such a feature added to the game would be a great one. Don’t get me wrong I am not against it and I think after the expansion is here things like this could/should certainly be looked at again.

I don’t know about walls/floors/stuff but I suspect we are getting community building in guild halls. By suspect I mean that while we wont get personal sandbox space, we will have lots of room to make our own little personal space in guild halls and/or a community centre like a pub, townhall or just a general gathering area.

Its said somewhere ~170ish placeable static objects inc with HoT. While that may not be a lot for anet that is a lot for players who have had lolsiege as non-permanent statics and things like fun boxes food trays and such.

Of these 170ish statics I’m thinking, CHAIRS, plaques/statues, weapon/armor wracks(display gear), harvest nodes(?) crafting stations, merchants, various npcs(?), music instruments(piano thing?), general non-interactive stuff like furniture and so on.

Maybe with 170ish statics available there is going to be some kind of hard cap per player or maybe guild(?) ;-(
And not just any player is going to get all 170ish so really you will be encouraged to pool those statics with other guildies, who do a variety of activities (some statics tied to achievements), to create an awesome space.

Human slave NPCs for a charr character would be cool.
