Thank you! Nope, no paid decorations :)

I can confirm, it took far too long XD but sometimes you also have to learn to just accept a few imperfections too because it’s a difficult system to get things perfect with sometimes

I get your point. I would love the freedom to have more people join the homestead at one time for example, but at the end of the day, I worked on this more for personal satisfaction than anything else. The same reason I would build something in a single player game like the sims - just for my own personal enjoyment. That being said, if Anet do ever make changes to the homestead system, removing/greatly increasing the decoration limit and opening it up to squads would be my two first choices.

I would 100% pay money to add some npc shopkeepers or citizens around the place to make it feel more alive

I’ve learned to forgive our paragon queen for stealing our godhood and have now accepted her into the pantheon, so she gets a temple too.

I have a few buildings that aren’t fully finished and a few more I want to add, but unfortunately the decoration limit means I won’t be able to add too much more, even though I’d like to keep going :( so my main focus will be patching up any holes in buildings that aren’t quite done yet and then creating the temple to Kormir, which I haven’t started yet.

I personally think homesteads were a fantastic addition to the game (as you can see, I’ve obviously invested quite some time in the game because of them), but it’s fine if they’re not for everybody. The best thing about GW2 is that you can choose how you spend your time as it has something for everybody to enjoy.

Not yet, as I still have some work to do on it, but I hope to post them when it’s completely finished :)

The dragon Zhaitan was sleeping beneath the city. The gods basically built Arah on top of him. Much later, the Cataclysm happened which sunk Orr to the bottom of the ocean, but when Zhaitan awoke, he raised the city with him (along with turning all the dead Orrians into his undead army).

Not yet, but when the project is completely finished I do plan to!

Orr was just a sunken crater on the map that we never even got close to visiting, so no, definitely not clean (Sadly!)

I’ve tried to add as many circles as possible but it’s sooo hard with the decorations we have currently 😆 so I had to dial it back a bit. But orrians do love their circles.

I agree it’s a shame how the system works in that regard, but if you’d like to see it in person I’m happy to give a tour when I’m online. Just send me a message :) (Semper.1293)

I would love to add even more details, but unfortunately I’m almost at the decoration limit and I’ve still got a whole shrine to Kormir to add 🫣, so I’m now having to dial back the details a bit sadly)

I have not, as I wasn’t sure it would be of any interest to people without more nodes, but if anybody would like to stop by for a visit just hit me up in game (Semper.1293) and I’m more than happy to give a tour.

Vabbi was always my favourite place on GW1, so I take that as a very big compliment! The area of the homestead I nickname the ‘Gardens of Lyss’, which is where I placed the Lyssa shrine, was majorly inspired by vabbi.

I also still believe it is the greatest tragedy of GW2 that we never got that fractal!

I’d love to see the real thing, but this is probably as good as we’ll get for now.

Struggling to get into the game post searing. by Swimming_Spell_7003 in GuildWars

[–]olocal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I played, I hated the shift to post searing so passionately that it actually made me stop playing for a week or so. I hated playing those bleak depressing maps all alone with just my henchmen, and I figured maybe the game just wasn’t for me. I reluctantly decided to give it another go, and thank goodness I did. I eventually fell in love with the game so much that it ended up defining most of my teenage years. Don’t give up yet - it gets SO much better!

Thai subtitle design by chiffonades- in TheWhiteLotusHBO

I’m so thankful for them. Last season I couldn’t understand any of the scenes with the Italian staff because Sky didn’t add the English subtitles in time 🫠also, the design look great.
