Guild Wars 2

Just wondering whats happening with player housing and guild instances if they are currently being worked on or are pushed aside for later?

Quite a few people i have spoken with on Fort Aspenwood would love to see these things. Also what is the stance on adding new professions, would we being seeing new ones near a new expansion or could we have some sooner? I’d like to see dervish make its return.

As far as we know, they’re not actively working on these things right now. Anet made a big post listing what to expect during the first part of this year and neither of those things were listed.

I suspect we won’t see them till the first paid expansion (but I have no evidence for this).

I would be surprised if Player housing ever makes into this game. Guild housing I can see, but not player housing. IMO, they will never get around to it, because it will constantly get pushed back for more important things that have a greater impact on the player base.

I would be surprised to see player housing turn up (in a well implemented form) in any A-list MMORPG again, the last few big ones that included it still cringe with the agony it caused them for a bunch of “hidden” reasons.

“Immersion” / RP’ing aside there is no useful point to it – nobody is coming to look at your pixels and you can’t move a house to them, the digital acquisition bragging rights fall over too quickly.

Guild halls may happen in games again, might not too – it will all come down to how many people you can jam (onto mounts) in one area ultimately.

Oh hey you never know we may just get a new daily that goes like this: “vistit 10 strangers houses”. BAM all my pixel glory showed off! :P

I think thay have stated there wont be any player houseing. Not really any way and the most we will see is advansments in the personal home instance.

How ever guild halls have been planed and even if its just the paperwork right now some small part of it is probably being planed for. I dont expect to see guild halls however until a full flushed out expansion pack.

Actually Martin Kerstein did say there would eventually be player housing, and that it would be released at the same time as guild halls but it was a long time ago. They never said there wouldn’t be player housing.

I never suggested “They” said there wouldn’t be player housing, I’m saying “They” will priortise it out of the roadmap as it has been a nightmare for administration in every other game worth knowing of.

A dev response would be nice, i could just imagine how well they could do player housing with the crafting system in this game

I don’t know about player housing. I used to play Star wars Galaxies, before and after they ruined it. but the worst addition was Player housing.

within weeks every planet landscape was ruined with empty player cities. it really ruined the immersion.
