Do you have an update for this build? I'm really sick and tired of just running nades

I remember when I played my first MMORPG - Ultima Online - it was one giant land mass, and you had to find empty land to place different styles of houses. So there were finite land spaces to place a house. My first small tower I placed coasted me 1 million gold - which was a lot of gold to try and acquire back then. This is pretty awesome how gw2 is doing it. Everyone will be able to own one. Gotta stop by the channel soon, its been a while my friend :)

Stupidity! the 10 year armor should ONLY be available to those that have a 10 year anniversary account ! otherwise where is the prestige, if anyone can do some stupid events and get it anyway !!!

One of the plot developments I'd love to see is the negative worship attention Aurene would be getting as the increasingly popular One Elder Dragon instead of just all good guys flocking to her without any conflict. Instead of the Sons of Svanir seemingly being wiped out off screen after the Icebrood Saga (which I hope they won't confirm as true despite dialogue already implying it), it'd be interesting to see the surviving Sons and even the implied female norn worshippers of Jormag (Daughters of Dragon?) mentioned in Dragon Bash dialogue (before that plot was seemingly cut due to Champions condensing and cutting out so many plotlines) to switch their worship from Jormag to Aurene as the new Dragon. After all, Svanir worshipped Dragon as a symbol of strength and survival of the fittest in a predator vs. prey viewpoint, so Aurene slaying and seemingly devouring Jormag (when that magic actually went to Soo-Won whom Aurene would devour later) proves that she's the superior predator and now the apex to worship. So imagine the Sons of Svanir and Daughters of Dragon now killing people in Aurene's name, revering her as the new Dragon, and all the problems that could lead to as fanaticism about Aurene rises (even in Cantha where the locals would likely switch from worshipping Soo-Won to worshipping Aurene as Soo's successor and descendant) and how more humans etc view about Aurene devouring one of the gods. I doubt Bangar is the only one with concerns about Aurene's motives, and there's already personal story lore about High Councillor Flax (leader of Arcane Council) planning for Rata Sum to make the rest of Tyria bow down to them once they've handled the dragon problem, so I could see Flax abusing Aurene's naivety (and/or current slumber) for his own ends while his chessmaster rivals in the Inquest (including the so far unseen Inquest leader) make moves. I'd also like to see Aurene eventually create Prismatic minions of her own so she won't have to always be around to help us out once she wakes up one day in the future. Imagine Aurene creating a pretty Prismatic Shimmerwing Shatterer dragon champion (just like the Shatterers were created from the earth/elements instead of corrupting an existing being) which would be fighting on OUR side against baddies for a change. What I'm curious about in Janthir Wilds is why Ash Imperator Malice is personally accompanying us to Janthir instead of just asking for either Rytlock, Ember Doomforge (who served under her during Drizzlewood despite Ember technically being Vigil now) or one of her tribunes to accompany us instead. Why would the imperator herself want to risk her hide on an expedition and risk problems for her legion when she's the last original imperator (and confirmed direct descendant of the Khan-Ur while we don't know if Crecia, Efram, and Mia Kindleshot are such direct descendants yet) still in power after Bangar's imprisonment? Hopefully the writers properly justify it because it'd be akin to Jennah accompanying us to Janthir instead of Anise... :P

The representatives shown in that screenshot of what appears to be the Tyrian Alliance meeting (founding of the alliance?), from left to right: The darker skinned female norn: Janthir Wilds avatar of the Pact Commander (check the trailer and other press screenshots and you see her appear there) Frode, Warden of the Astral Ward, of course. ;) Countess Anise and Queen Jennah. ;) Female tengu: Ayumi (leader of the Kestrels from Echovald) from EoD. Interestingly we don't see her behind a podium as Isgarren conveniently blocks the view, so that might mean we'll see Empress Ihn herself or possibly Navan representing the Canthan throne (fingers crossed) although I suppose I could also settle for Minister Cho Min (Rama's love interest) as well after they kinda retconned her out of the Kryta visit with the empress in the What Lies Within chapter of EoD despite setting up her trip abroad in Mi-Rae holonews reports in core EoD once the Dragonvoid crisis had been dealt with... Female asura: Councillor Ludo, Dean of the College of Statics and a powerful mesmer. It's nice that she gets the spotlight for a change since personal story because we interacted with her sister Zudo back in The Icebrood Saga Champions. :) Male norn next to Braham: Skarti Knutsson, eldest son of Knut Whitebear and Gaerta Whitebear, and leader of the Wolfborn (the peacekeepers of Hoelbrak). I'm surprised (and pleased) to see Skarti here because previously we've only seen his somewhat goofy and drunken younger brother Sigfast on diplomatic missions (e.g. Caudecus's Manor where the Separatists kidnap Sigfast, as well as one of the delegates around the round table in Eye of the North while playing through The Icebrood Saga Champions). It's about time that Knut's firstborn Skarti gets more development since the last time we interacted with him as there's some interesting lore about the animosity between him and his father about how to deal with the icebrood threat. I imagine that a renowned diplomat like Aife of the Cycle of Dawn (who is as much of a traveler as Caithe, Faolain, and Wynne were back in the day, so it's make sense for her to travel to the meeting) might end up representing the Pale Tree and sylvari as Dawn blooms are skilled diplomats lorewise. Aife did appear alongside Sigfast and other racial representatives around the aforementioned Eye of the North round table during Champions, after all. But since Skarti is here instead of Sigfast (unless the screenshot crops out Sigfast himself but I'd be surprised if he appears alongside his brother), perhaps the Grove might send someone else than Aife for a change. I'd LOVE to see actual conversations between Aife (or whoever the sylvari emissary will be) and Caithe as we haven't really learned about the Firstborn's reaction to their sister's Branding by Aurene and if the bond has remained the same or not as Caithe suggested in EoD prologue how she's outgrown many of the sylvari due to her unique experiences, sadly. I'd just love to see some sibling conversations, please, ANet. Gimme more sylvari lore. :/

Waiting for the podcast where Kroof only says “I am Kroof”

1:17:00 this whole Fornax monologue is my exact thoughts, I genuinely hope we will have a good expansion this cycle

Would be fun to have Lara on those lore-related episodes!! She's got a lot of knowledge about GW1 and would know a lot of about Janthir!

There's already an undead Tybalt. After his death, if you're a Whisper you can find an event in Bloodtide Coast where you have to kill the Risen Charr champion. That event ONLY appears for that select group of players.

The Avatar of the Pale Tree is still in a coma, which means that she has been out for 7+ years. One of the Firstborns is running the ship atm. Caithe seems to be the representative sent on international business. The Norn on the right is one of Knut's sons.

47:22 xDDD

I hate it when he does that shit

Do you know if there will be more homesteads that Anet will add like maybe a cyberpunk cantha new kaineing homestead? Or anything more than just the normal one they showcase here?

How do you spectate on tournaments?

Folx disliking the video because they dislike spear? Im not a dev xD lol

Jebro is not thinking straight about bringing other players resource nodes into his homestead. He hasn’t thought that through yet to see what a nightmare it would create. It’s okay that he’s so excited about this feature, but let’s wait until it’s released and see what we can do with it.

I don't know about the nodes things. From what I read it seemed like an odd phrasing just to say what we already have. You can go to your home instance and gather the nodes simultaneously. I do hope they add more nodes that we can earn. There haven't been many or any in the last two expansions.

There are 2 things I noticed that needs to be fixed, Spear 3 is not considered a weapon 3 attack for Rocket Punch, and also the spear 3 throw is not even considered a ranged attack for Aim-Assisted Rocket.

From the video preview of homesteads, it looks like you can put down up to 1000 decorations. Under decorations placed.

I cannot get over the level of control we seem to have over decorations. People have created incredible guild halls with the current system. Homestead decorations are going to be out of this world.

With the ability to invite friends to decorate your homestead, i could see people hiring someone to decorate their homestead for them. A sort of Homestead decorator. Especially if said person had created and showcased their own amazing designed home.

yea, so, the ones that have fun now with spear will be nerfed and the ones that dont have fun with it will be left as is LOL, thats anet for you

9:18 It's burning duration increase not stacks. you inflict 2 stacks of burning regardless, either for 4.5 seconds or 8.5 seconds with your current build.

Need a bigger monitor for the tool tips . Can't wait actual Janthir expansion . "Don't come at me. Just have fun" .Thanks for this

Video 10/10. Outfit 15/10

Skill 2's focus should also do an aoe and focus 3 or 5 targets, not just one or switch the focusing target to skill 3's aoe and any target focused the skill flip throw conduit hits

The changes i want to see them make to engi spear is to make skill 2 give a small burst of speed (like swiftness or superspeed) .The 1st part of skill 3 should be a lighning field and a projectile block while it charges and the 2nd part a ground targeting with a larger radius . The distance of skill 5 should be at least 600 and with a faster cast time. They have been so many times that it was interupted by an enemy cause its so slow for the animation to play out Overall its a fun weapon to use for sure and am even more impressed by the visual effects across the board

Jebro always gets the best guests on the Lightbringer’s podcast! I follow all of them. Janthir Wilds is looking great so far, but I try to keep my expectations in check, because Anet’s track record after the initial release of EoD has been hit and miss. I know that this expansion is going to be well worth the cost, just by looking at the features shown so far, and it can only get better. I hope that the story included in this expansion will be more satisfying than the SotO story was.

I understand the ranger spear fantasy that was talked in here but as of now the weapon has several issues until it achieves that. + The weapon feels too much like a greatsword now. Needs adjusting. Also if I was designing a new weapon to ranger I would focus more on nature magic at ranged as we even now only have staff to fill that fantasy.

If a ´"Southsun Cove Beach Front Property" that you could have al alternate Homestead appeared in the shop I would swipe so fast my credit card would melt.

pronouns lol cringe i'm out

Ther Rev spear is just bad for all game modes though. It's unsalvageable and ANet needs to rework it from the bottom up.

They could give a restructure of the performance aspect of the combat system, because right now it's making the game bad.

I'm super excited GW2 is going in this direction. The home instances were useful but it didn't have customization like we had hoped. Homesteads are definitely going to be much more fun to play with. I can't wait!

looks SO GOOD...

Literally two issues I have and they're pretty damn small: The 1000 placeable objects may feel limiting. Honestly hope they can up that in time, would be happy to pay for it personally. I don't want to log in and see my alts randomly dancing in a cave. I really hope they're placeable in some way, maybe sitting in an area of your choice doing, you know, normal things. Other than that it's everything I hoped for and more, which is high praise from someone who treated housing as my endgame in Wildstar

you get a lvl80 boost with the basic expansion price. You prob gotta do 1-2 quests and bam -> can spend the rest of your days in the homestead :)

Im thinking rise of Sims games might be connected to people cant afford buying a house anymore😑 Also Im glad we can leave our alts to house as npc it was one of the topic we asking for housing in reddit.Its promising we getting a better crop farming system if we can have husbadry system that we can gather milk,meat or egg it will be perfect homestead system.

I wasn’t really excited about this feature when I first heard about it, but now I’m seeing that it’s going to be implemented well and has some features that I will want. I wonder if they will ever be able to make homesteads character bound, so when they are available in different locations, we can customize them to different alts?

imagine rebuilding old lions arch in your homestead

You can also build Roller Beetle tracks in the Homestead. Here's an idea: Make a track, sink SAB barf clouds into the track = since the clouds activate on contact then you can make it so that the next part of the track is a hole with a rainbow road that spawns in if you drive over where the cloud is.

"Kribz of Tyria" is a go!

Everything about this feature has exceeded my expectations. The only thing not mentioned that I hope they would include is saving layouts and sharing layout codes. That would be so important for a user-generated-content focused community.

Glad they've improved on eso system for most part. There will still be a few things I'm wondering about, like will non jw players get to see ur home. What will they do with the home portal Stone? Will they allow it to goto homestead too or create a new item to replace it. If there is a teleport to homestead will it put ur char back to where you were or if you log off in homestead will it work like guild hall. Can players be given permission to enter without the owner needing to be logged in? Some of these will probably be no, but have to wait for its release to know for sure. One thing is for sure, i can see them creating new homesteads in different regions and in different sizes and make those be gemstone only of 4-8k gem price tags. Afterall some of those eso houses are $100 bucks lol I do feel this expansion will help decrease the gold bloat anet has created over the years lol

Amazing...beyond expectation

One item needed for this: A Book Shelf for all those wayward books that I have been hanging onto in my bank.

I think they're gonna have to keep home instance for all the ppl who dont own janthir wilds

This is the thing that ANET does best. They put a twist on an MMO staple and make something really awesome. Alts that you can put in your instance, mounts that you can park in the stable, insta-gather. That SIMS dev that they hired needs a promotion right away. This is incredible.

People are gonna Minecraft this thing.
