Guild Wars 2

I like tables, especially the data kind , but today I bring you the guild decoration kind of table.

Video catalog of 313 guild decorations

Each decoration is shown for three seconds at a consistent distance with a waypoint for scale. You can use these establishing shots to compare sizes between decorations. A second shot shows a close-up of the decoration for another three seconds. Occasionally, a third shot is included to show the other side of the decoration or to demonstrate how it looks at night.

Use these direct links to skip to specific decoration categories in the video:

• Furniture
• Architecture
• Plants
• Lighting
• Monuments
• Statuary
• Trophies
• Festivals
• Other
• Arena

Here’s what is not included in this video:

• Most silver world boss trophies, all gold world boss trophies, and most gold raid boss trophies . These are made from tokens which drop either infrequently or weekly. You can see an example of each gold trophy decoration by looking at the boss chest after defeating the associated boss.
• PvP trophies, but I’ve uploaded screenshots of all but the Platinum one to the wiki . I seek confirmation that the Season 2 and Season 3 trophies look identical to the Season 1 trophies.
• Master Brewer’s Keg, which will be possible to obtain in December
• Gilded Banner, which has no known method of crafting

It’s my hope that guilds will be able to use this video as a resource to assist their choices as they make beautiful creations in their guild halls. And guild halls are a machinima studio just waiting to happen!

If you have a guild that hasn’t done much or anything with decorations, can I suggest adjusting your member rank permissions so that everyone has Decorator, Use Placeables (to make decorations from other decorations), and Edit Assembly Queue (to cook decorations)? I’ve visited many guild halls, and most have the Decorator permission limited to the leader, who doesn’t use it. When people have the ability to use decorations, they become a lot more interested in them, and that’s a lot more fun.

A few notes from a player who has all of these decorations:

• The Square Planter and Empty Square Planter are not square, but are instead both shaped like a quarter circle.
• The Lit Wagon has lamps, but these are only lit during the day.
• “Vale Guardian Pieces” should be “Vale Guardian Piece”, as the decoration is only a single piece.
• I feel that the Maguuma Lily (Double Bloom) and the Maguuma Lily (Triple Bloom) had their models accidentally swapped before release. The Double Bloom version is taller and generally more impressive.
• The Basic Tree and Basic Shrub share models with the Potted Tree and Potted Shrub respectively. Some trees look weird in pots, so it would be nice if the Basic Tree got an adjusted potless model.
• The Festival Tents and Balloons should be in the Festivals category, not the Other category.
• PvP Trophies should all be in the same category, not split between the Trophy and Other categories.
• In my opinion, Hedges should be in the Plants category with the topiary, not in Architecture.
  
  Wishlist:
• Using the Gift of Music for the Uzolan’s Mechanical Orchestra decoration was inspired, and I would love to see more decorations use Gifts that require dungeon tokens. It would be cool to see an asset from each dungeon be repurposed into a decoration that required a Gift of Knowledge, a Gift of Thorns, or a Gift of the Sanctuary, etc.
• If we could tilt decorations to make them lean or lie flat, much like can be done in ANet’s map design toolset, that would make decoration much more flexible. I’m not sure how technically feasible this is, though.
• Thank you for the Basic Signpost!
