Guild Wars 2

“Announced changes
These changes are intended to be released in the second half of 2013”

“Upcoming changes and features
Housing: Guild halls and player housing in their home instance.”

Player Housing SHOULD NOT BE INSTANCED!!!
HELLOOOOOO!!!
ANYBODY!!!

If attaching player housing and guild halls the Home Instance in the major cities is what your going to do with player housing, DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!!!
1. if player housing is in home instance, nobody will care about it or use it.
(why can’t you see this?)
2. if guild halls are in home instance…doesn’t even make sense…but anyway, nobody will care about it or use it.

If you want this expanded content to be EPIC!

Find somebody in the studio who was into Star Wars Galaxies and have them explain the way player housing should be done. (as many problems as that MMO had, one thing it did well, was Player Housing and Guild Halls)

[ for those who want in on the Star Wars Galaxy reference, you had 10 plots of land you could use as a player…you could place houses {2-3plots} on those chosen plots, extractors{1-2plots} and even Guild halls{6-8plots} then if you logged out those plots stayed active and ANYBODY on that server could visit. ]

I’m sure Anet could do something similar, 2 plots per player.
Guild Leaders forfeit both in order to create a GH (then the have a residence within)
Players could make additions to the GH (like living/working inside the keeps walls)
Maybe one plot of land for the house, one for the farm/mill/market/garden etc….

Also, Anet should scrap this idea that the Home Instance is GROOVY and that people care about it. The only way people are going to care about it, is when other players in the world can interact with it, PERIOD!

(and I don’t mean the sorry suckers in your group, I mean ALL other players in the world can interact)

So…my proposal is that you use one of the fogged out areas on the large world map, for example, north of Divinity Reach
This whole map, just for player housing, player markets and guild halls, all in the Human style. Just like with armor, only offer a limited selection like small/medium/large and you could also limit the build locations as to contour with the landscape…do the same in each of the 4 other racial areas or more.

Living world content, or rental/maintenance fees to keep it alive. Really the potential for a real living world is huge and your going to pin yourself in with this blinded misconception that another Instance is ok. Just because SWG did player housing like this doesn’t mean it’s wrong or totally wrong. (why do you think people are still so angry about loosing that game?)

Player housing if done properly could not only ensure Anet success, it could propel Guild Wars 2 into a level of community that no other MMO game has ever dreamed.

[if player housing is instanced, it should have a PERSISTANT house/hall that represents that instance as unique and intractable with a PERSISTANT sign that says something like Ash Onix House]

She’s Human! enough said. Like we need another Human in charge of anything!
Bandits, Cutthroats and Thieves, that’s all humans are good at!
It’s a sad, sad day, for Tyria QQ

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember GH’s and Player Housing, suppose to come with release. I understand you want to make them EPIC but if you’ve made us w8 this long and all your going to do is crap out another instance, just forget about it.

Player housing is not INSTANCED and if you try to make it so, you will feel the wrath of SWG fans.

You can get away with instanced based GH’s, but I’m still curious as why it’s taken this long when you KNOW the customers would have been happy with GW1 style GH’s.

Maybe your just w8ing until the coffers dry up and then you can charge a kitten load of money. Whatever the case may be…make sure you handle this with care. I’ve spent about the same amount on both games.

GW1 about 325$ over 8years
GW2 about 325$ over 8months

P.S. if you keep GREEDING OUT on us, WE’LL just go back 2 GW1 until you shut it down.

Why is this not a question asked each day?
(would you like to complete your daily at this time?)
Twice now, I’ve missed support of my candidate.
(my button wears off just as I get my daily)

How does this content make it’s way around the studio without somebody standing up and saying “HEY, ENOUGH WITH THE STUPID JUMPING PUZZLES ALREADY!!”

edit
Ok, so I was a bit harsh. (everything looks amazing, like always)
Much better job with this jumping content than before, and the story is great.
If this is an example of Anet moving away from jumping puzzles. good job, keep it up.

It’s hard to put my finger on it but it seems that the delivery comes off confusing or misleading. The content does grow on you after awhile.

end edit

You have proven you can do jumping puzzles like no other company.
You don’t have to prove yourself anymore.
You should try and do something different before your CUSTOMERS leave.
You should stand up to the person who tells you that JP’s are a good thing.

Sorry, this is not very constructive or informative, yet it is an OPINION of one of YOUR CUSTOMERS.

Have a good day.

In short, …rewards.
not the money or xp or that stuff.
but the physical rewards.
….just don’t even bother, your doing it wrong.

Some of the items i can’t even use and then you warn me that im about to salvage a useless, unwanted probably non-replaceable kitten that has the only purpose of taking up precious inventory, and making me question what to do with it.

If the story is suppose to be so unique to your character, WHY are you rewarding with items that CANT be used.
At least give us stuff we can use, DuH!

Sorry about the spelling , I’m SuRe it’s Horriblesss as HecK! =)~
