The resource collection nodes exist in GW2 already in the home instance (they aren't new), this is just them porting it over so people don't lose them. You can clear it once a day and invite people to your home instance to collect them too. Fun note, they hired a veteran Sims 4 dev to help develop the housing system :D

The home instance gathering nodes have been in the game since before WoD was released. And they always had the 24h cooldown for them in GW2, unlike the garrisons. So it's not the ArenaNet copying Blizzard :D

If you let us decorate your house, you know it will be a huge shrine to Joko

"Guild Wars 2 is older than world of warcraft"? Michael F. Preacher, GW2 came out in 2012.

Best Housing, Best Mounts, Best Fashion, Best Openworld, Best Landscapes, Best combat feeling (for me) and soon a raid wing with NM CM AND Legendary CM ? Cant wait. We are spoiled.

If i have to guess we are getting a different homestead every expansion. Also the resource nodes are already in the game in the home instance. They are just moved in the homestead instead of being left behind.

Honestly Im a person who normally gives zero shits about stuff like housing but somehow what Anet has cooked got me excited

Somehow the art style of this game still looks great.

BTW the 63 FPS is just what the engine will lock the framerate to when you chose the 60 option in the frame limiter section. Still an odd decision to have it showing on screen

If FFXIV didn’t exist, I would be no lifing GW2. It’s a good game.

I can't believe it took Anet so long to implement proper housing. Its a money printer and they have needed a non intrusive money printer for a very long time. Hope this spells good things for the future.

I love how everytime an MMO gets a housing system everyone just turns and looks at blizzard like "So, feel like copying this yet or we still gonna be homeless bums?"

The resource nodes can only be harvested once a day and have a fixed amount they yield, so you can't game it, the new system just makes getting it way more convenient than running through the home instances, finding all nodes and harvesting by hand

Houses are one of the main monetization options from ESO. Most likely be the same here, it's a good move. A win-win to me.

Appreciate your reaction :) Yes, teraforming will not be possible. But if you look how old the engine is and how some structures are designed I think that even if they wanted to, this is impossible to implement and probably not even Devs can easily teraform. We currently assume that with each expansion going forward we will get a new homestead area. Lastly you hope that your guildmates can place their alts there. I don't think that this will be included. Maybe they can put statues of themselves though. But! Don't forget: this game already has guild halls. There you have 4 different guild halls which different environment and you can already build stuff like race tracks there. And anet confirmed that this home stade features will also be implemented into guild halls. So you will be able to build your own house inside of your guild halls and at least have statues if all your guild mates there. Don't forget that you can also be inside of 6 different guilds at the same time!

I don't know that the gw3 rumor is actually confirmed or true if you read the article it came from, it sounded like during a heated moment it was just thrown out as a "Well we could always do a GW3" as a defense since NC Soft's other IPs were doing so poorly. Who knows. I'm excited regardless, this looks very cool AND they are bring back raids at the same time with multiple difficulty levels including an open world option which will likely give them the participation numbers to justify them going forward. Lots of hype!

I don't normally care about player housing in games, but this looks legitimately really cool! I'm definitely interested to try this when it comes out.

5:58 - Guild Wars 1 released in 2005, WoW released Nov. 23, 2004.

Guild Wars 3 is hardly coming lol, it got name dropped in a shareholder meeting but it hasnt even started development yet.

In game content like this bores me....but...holy shit this is a crazy cool in depth system

Honestly looks really good, excited to see what people can make.

Some of the furniture and building parts remind me of Wildstar. Oh, please, let it be so...

you had me at giant, blue mushrooms, i used to play terraria and i built a house under ground in an area that had a beautiful, blue glow from mushrooms

thank you for checking it out ;D

Back in Everquest2 they had housing/guildhall instances for each expansion/continent (islands, forests, jungles, plains, frozen wastes, lava fields, etc.). So I'm expecting different environments to eventually represent many areas of the game. Some of the premium housing plots included villagers/merchants to populate your personal villages.

I so missed such housing after WildStar shut down ;( Can't wait for next expansion

Reminds me of dimensions in Rift. Hopefully, they will add more locations. You could trade dimension locations in rift and professions crafted most of the items used in the housing.

im gonna go broke with how much i spend in my charr den

This looks pretty awesome. I will say one MMO that was ultimately my favorite for player housing and decorating was Shroud of the Avatar. A dead mmo now but still niche. Delivered to us by the creator of Ultima.

Preach really is discovering the Home instance daily routine in that stream?

I look forward to build a Roman empire building that is filled with asuras

Giving me some flashbacks to house decoration of SWG.

GW3 is NOT confirmed, Preach. No official announcement, merely speculations and rumors that are most likely not true.

I don't mind the houses/stables themselves being static but if this is the case please at some point down the line give us the option to have different house/static variants either in a new location (e.g cantha) or buy new static houses that we can pick from, lots of money for them in the gem store here. This is how they fund GW3

This gives us a reason to use the nodes in our home instance, I ignore my home instance becuase its honestly boring..

I've always thought housing was one of the big MMO things this game was missing. so glad it's finally happening. but as stated in video, wish we get more different environments/homestead to play with. if they wanted, Anet can snap their fingers and give us all the guild halls to make our own personal instances as well if they wanted. just a thought..

Guild hall night clubs like in ff14 when? 😆

Did he really say GW2 is older than WoW?? GW2 launched after WotLK lol

hm? I have vsync on and frames capped at 75, because that is the most pleasant for me. He might have the 60Hz limiter on.

If we had to choose between housing and some other feature for WoW one expansion, I would pick the other feature every single time WoW just isn't that sort of game

It's gorgeous 😍😍

As a wow player.... sigh. turns away. 'Don't give me hope.

"we know GW3 is coming" We do not know this also letting your friends edit your instance is...optional, right? why did it upset you so much?

Wow pay attention!

Funny that DAoC did housing kinda right already soooo many years ago.

Why is letting friends decorate with you a bad thing for you? Just curious

Not sure why they keep wanting this in MMO's. It didn't go over well in Warlords of Draenor (WoW). It ended up creating the expansion "where nobody ever saw anyone" since they spent all of their time in the game inside their home instance, and you could que everything pvp etc. from there. So Ironforge was empty, Stormwind was empty, and the game felt dead for an entire expansion. You'll see. Once you're done with the first few days of the new home thing, you'll realize there's ...nothing to do here. It has some RP potential but for most it will end up being nothing. You don't need a house in a game.

would it hurt to link the original video?

I wish wow would get housing.

3:20 I sadly have more than 30 cahracters, but 30 is nice :)

Some say its already the best player housing in mmo ever!!! Gw2!!!!!

It isn't all that special... except being able to freely place items, scale them, rotate them... GIVE ME THIS IN FFXIV

"If you trust them you can give others permission to decorate." "This crashed so hard." I'm sorry Preach doesn't have anyone they can trust. Giving permission to another player to put down decorations means they can put down an armor stand of themselves so you can also have them in your home instance, right?

GW is older than WoW, what?

This is what we want i wow. !

Meanwhile lazy bums at Blizzard...

I'm a bit mad my first thoughts on this was: "looks great, shame it's connected to the rest of the game". I wanted to love this game so much, I want to give it another shot but Dawntrail just ate my attention

this is all nice shit that we wish we had in wow. oooo it is a bit wod though.

I prefer the FFXIV and LOTRO system myself with "limited plots" because of exactly what they stated - a neighborhood feel. The difference is LOTRO was very good about opening new districts, but you couldn't own more than one home and there were other restrictions that FFXIV should put into place. I like the ESO and Wildstar type of housing too, but it's just not the same as having a neighborhood and being able to see what other's have worked on.

they are clearly just trying things for future stuff that will be better in gw3 i dont think they will actuallybe allowiung everything like ff14

Still no OCE servers. Intros are a mess. Game still feels budget.

Definitely a “garrison” home like WoW but a nice replacement for Home Instance. However, remember that garrisons were fun for a while (battles with your friends) but as usual, once they were decorated, they were quickly abandoned. Point of MMO is community play. Still, GW2 hasn’t disappointed so I’m looking forward to the new expansion.🤞

Hey I just wanna point out gw3 is not confirmed by ArenaNet, please don't spread this as real news. We probably won't hear about a gw3 for a long time if they decide to do it. Also, as others have said, the home instance resource gathering has been a thing since the start of the game so this part is not a new feature.

nice ps2 game

FFXIV deserves being shit on for their housing. I absolute hate Dawntrail, but I cannot quit because the game holds a gun to my house. Don't log in for 30 days and your house is gone. And to think I called WoW an abusive ex a couple years back...

too bad all the actual content they put out since 2022 is godawful

Preach is not impressed.

No thanks,it looks like it was made back in 1950

It's Lost Ark
