Hey there. Im gonna keep this short and sweet so it doesn’t waste too many peoples time.

So I made a forest in gilded hollows. (See below) issue is its near the roof of the word. Which makes GETTING to my forest difficult (Even with ramps) time wise. I like to visit it whenever Im in the guild hall but often find myself not simply because of how long it takes to get their.

So I was wondering if it would be possible to one day add placeable waypoints to guild halls. So that players can reach the “Homes” they have created more easily. Even if they are far out of the way.

The guild hall is great for people to claim a piece of land as their own but its kind of pointless if they rarely ever get to SEE the their creations.

So consider this my request to look into the possibility of placeable waypoints. In the hopes that some day I can visit my forest more readily. I got alot of help in making it from others. So it would be awesome if I could show it to people more readily as well. Which this would also help with.

I like the idea, although as long as there was a cap on additional waypoints. Having one placeable above the city would be pretty cool if a Guild made the effort to get up there.

I also like your forest. Are there any wider screenshot of it? Bet that took time and effort to make

I liked the idea in https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/Guild-decoration-suggestions/first#post6188415 and I like it now. Check that other thread for how some have suggested implementing placeable shortcuts.

Also, the forest looks serene. I second the request for more pics of it.

I went ahead and recording the journey up as well as a better look as to what it actually is. Its set up to look larger while your in the center. So you may be surprised at how small it actually is. The layout and lighting on this one piece of land is what convinced me to make this style of forest. Though without the help of my guildies it wouldn’t have been possible (for one thing I am not a scribe haha I just placed them. Others deserve the credit for making them in the first place)

Its really designed for the views you get while in that clearing, Permanent god rays, constant sunrise/moonrise style lighting, and the glow effect the unique lighting in this one area gives the trees once they are placed. Their is also a view of what I believe is supposed to be mordremoths tree up here.

Edit: It looks even better at night.

Hey, I don’t mean to come across as rude but as a fellow scribe/architect? I just wanted to say it would save you a lot of ramps if you went up the tree and around to where the golden circle updraft is instead of placing ramps going around it. I know it’s easier making ramps straight there because it seems like the only way the guild members will actually take the hike up there, but I figured you might be able to find other uses for the ramps. I wish I had accumulated that many clouds.

Also, you know right under where your forest is? That little vine root area with the broken gold squares and the circle above where the updraft is can be treated as a mini jumping puzzle with no decorations needed. Just as long as you get to the base of the golden arch under the roots.

Yeah. I was thinking the same thing when I saw all those ramps. I have only made a direct route to the dragon statue above the southwestern part and from there you can get to the big tree without any further decorations and a bit of gliding. It’s basically one big jumping puzzle to the top.

Very handy if you dont want to waste decoration cap space.
