The most important thing about having a stable for your jackal is that there is a new animation for petting your mounts. You can pet the dog.

[@neijan2932]

Proud occasional jackal user here!

[@marcosfranco1815]

Same!!

[@jaderranierealbrez4803]

[@Oatmeal-Savage]

Jackal and raptor are actually my most used mounts after skyscale. Jackal is the best mount for quickly moving up stairs or inclines. The blink ability doesn't care about inclines, whereas if you try to use raptor leap up stairs, you don't get very far.

[@Narcemus]

Get to show mine off at River of Souls all the time!

[@gjunky1513]

I prefer the jackal over the raptor. I like it because if you jump/fall from a high place you can tele just before you hit the ground and you get zero fall damage. Plus, as said, it's useful going up and inclines as well.

[@rand0mtv660]

It's cool they gave the early preview to someone that seems to actually play the game and not just someone that wouldn't appreciate it at all.

[@robby2988]

The bee you turn into to fly around should be the jade bot if you have the EOD expansion.

[@Flubbred]

This might honestly bring me back. As a more casual player, this endgame is far more fitting for me lol.

[@MiTaReX]

If I may ask, what other kind of endgame do you perceive GW2 having?

[@Flubbred]

@@MiTaReX Getting legendary items and raids. The getting leggy items is pretty casual for the most part but boring. Plus, and I am not an artist, but I am a little artsy and I do enjoy decorating. Plus now I will have incentive to get as many resource nodes as possible. Getting those (and volatile glyphs) will make getting some legendary items easier.

[@MiTaReX]

​@@Flubbred I guess I was just crushed by SotO. As a fan of raid and strike CM content, I saw SotO as having no content for me: just two strikes: one too boring and one too overtuned, so I thought if I don't have fun, maybe they just focused on casuals. I was surprised by a casual player saying "This might honestly bring me back" because that means that they don't have fun things to do nowdays either. I therefore conclude that there is one type of content ANet released in SotO: long and boring grind.

As the official decorator of my original guild, I can tell you that decorating is a nightmare when you want to make stuff a bit fancy and that the limitation of the number of objects you can place in a given area is way too small. If they improve one of those two things for homesteads, they got to do it for guild halls in a near future. They can't seriously make an improved version of the decoration system and not apply it to guild halls. EDIT: 13:26 OH YES! I'M WEAVING!!!!

[@mystrael9879]

[@aleksatanaskovic9172]

As an asuran surpremacist, I hope later down the line they add some more magitech decorations.

[@Cereen0]

Since it is an instance, I hope they update the Home Portal Stone so you can hop in with a parked character then log out in it so they can pull double duty as npcs.

[@zearcjustice7837]

they really either don't add it or they go full throttle

[@22darthmaul22]

The jackal has a faster base movement speed, can cross most of the gaps I would use my raptor for, and can turn on a dime. Why *wouldn't* I use my jackal?

[@TheMattdunkum]

Raptor with upgraded jump is faster, roller beetle, griffon and skyscale also exist

[@LocalAnonOnTheInternet]

@@TheMattdunkum I use the beetle and/or griffon to get around the map with speeeeeeed. Skyscale, I don't even know what to use it for aside getting away from a fight.

[@fullmetalathlete]

Jackal is faster with the speed the teleport refreshes....I constantly outrun raptors next to me ...raptor feels faster cause each jump is longer, but side by side the jackal always wins...and it's better up hills and more agile around tight corners in caves...jackal is my #3 after skyscale and beetle usage.

[@SheenaMalfoy]

100% and also Jackals don't bash their faces into hills and can also cancel fall damage. From almost every angle, doggo is the better mount.

[@Dark_Wizard_of_Mu]

Jackals are only good in high steeps. If it's a flat ground Raptor is faster.

[@VeronicanPlay]

WildStar had great player housing, I loved exploring to see what crazy creations other players could come up with... I really miss that game :(

I hope the home portal stone gets updated to allow you to port to your homestead.

[@JayRandomness07]

Didn't even think about this. Hopefully they do this instead of add yet another scroll for us.

[@snakeman830]

@@JayRandomness07 There will probably be a scroll anyway for those who don't want to use the gem store, but for those of us who already have the portal stone, it would be nice if it were still relevant.

[@kendrickyay]

You can probably do that without. Doesn’t make a lot of sense for an expansion feature to be tied to an extra gem store item that you have to buy in order to go there. But yes that should be an additional way to get to your homestead.

[@snakeman830]

@kendrickyay Oh, I will never advocate for a gem store item to be the primary method of getting there. I fully expect there to be a portal scroll. I just want the gem store item to also gain that function, since home instances will become pretty irrelevant.

[@Oatmeal-Savage]

I loved the player housing system in Dark Age of Camelot. Yes, the housing was instanced.. but it was instanced by village. So x-number of people would have their houses grouped together in a small community. So something like THAT would have been amazing. A little less isolated. You know, get to know your neighbour.

[@fullmetalathlete]

"With an armour stand, you can make a statue of their character that inherits your current fit-dyes and all." **Friend comes into my homestead instance** Them: "Why is there nothing but statues of bikini girls in here? 🤔" Me : "you want to farm these nodes or what?" 😒

[@rgentry9]

You can't even glide in the home instance, so this'll be a big improvement.

[@tangentkatz]

I was a housing decorator in FFXIV for years. Holding onto my personal house and helping decorate some guild houses has been one of the last things keeping me connected to the game. If this turns out as good as it looks, I'll be ready to move on. I've never liked how FFXIV requires a sub to keep your house.

[@aries4378]

AMEN! The only reason I'm still subbed to FFXIV is I don't want to lose my fully decorated house. Not only was getting the house itself an ordeal, but I had my home decorated by a pro and I don't want to lose those decorations.

[@mr1357989]

They need to have the outfit statues interactable where you can copy your current outfit onto them or copy the outfit stored on them onto you! it would be an awesome way to implement a wardrobe outfit saving system that they've desperately needed!! They could even make it so you could interact with other peoples outfits in their instance, it would be a neat way to share outfits as well. everyone needs to submit this as a request so they do it

[@Psoewish]

I do wonder about one thing though, so I have the teleport to home instance stone from the game store, and I wonder what’s gonna happen with that. If it keeps the current functionality despite homesteads just being better, I’m gonna feel really ripped off lol

[@Abyssal86]

This

[@TheDivine1337]

Home Instance will be gone and replaced with homestead is the most logical implementation

[@Owldera]

the will likely add homestead as an option

[@Psoewish]

@@TheDivine1337 I don't think that makes much sense honestly, considering home instance is part of the personal story, but more importantly homesteads will only be available to people who own JW. It wouldn't make sense to take a feature away from people who haven't bought the latest expansion.

[@MrVeps1]

My guess, they will forget about it at launch, and then make a dialogue for selecting between home instance and homestead afterwards.

[@PierTenni]

Ranger pets space too please

[@pamesankaese]

Im not sure if thats already implemented in the guild hall decoration system or if it was shown in the video and I missed it but it would be a nice addition to the building tools if they include some basic MS Paint/Office/Explorer or whatever you wanna call it features like copying, cutting or grouping decorations - heck even make templates with a structure of decorations for later use or if you want to make a section of repeated decoration items but not have to put them down individually. Also a snapping to a grid feature would be nice for precize placement options if you want to put in alot of effort.

[@cynhanrahan4012]

Scribe is a grind. But in Second Life, I'm a builder, decorator and land developer and this new feature sounds AWESOME!!!

The statues need an interaction that lets you apply the transmutation and dye from the statue to your current armor. Like fashion presets.

[@vinnie95p83]

Looks like guildwars 2 is getting a planet zoo decoration tutorial. Love the homestead

[@imayb1]

This looks fantastic! It makes me very happy that we'll (eventually) be able to re-size guild hall decorations! Some of those were stupid expensive to build and came out so tiny they were pointless. Others, like the massive glowing gift boxes, could stand to be much smaller.

[@uniquename111]

For the first time in a long while i am superhappy. I was scared Anet would go the short way and just give us decoration to place like in guildhalls. I wanted more, i wanted exactly this, where you can use an item for what ever purpose you want. Make it supersmall or bigger or tilt it and so on. That is really the freedom i hoped for, and we actually got it. I love it!

[@drdoctor9146]

20:56 lol I love how Muk just shouts out Flutegirl when there's fishing, knowing she's most likely the only one who does it nowadays. (Seriously, I don't think I have really seen anyone do fishing since EoD came out lol). Also, ANet really listened to the community with this new player homes. I love how almost everything Muk had wanted for the player homes, the video confirmed it all.

[@lilphoenix]

This is so much more than I ever would have expected. Plus confirmation that our home instance cats get to come along!! That's really all I wanted! My only thought is that as much as I love the bee, jade bots exist. The bee makes sense for people who maybe don't have EoD or a jade bot unlocked, but if we do have a jade bot I would love to be able to use my jade bot skin instead!

[@willdeit6057]

This sounds cool but memory serves me properly & if I recall right is that GW1 had it for armour, weapons and pets, The Hall of Monuments

[@choupiyenaelgw2]

As a lot of people, i was really happy when they say that finally housing was coming to gw 2. But i wasn't expect that housing will come with homestead instead. I can already imagine how some homestead will be incredible and how many will do some puzzle jump in their homestead too. I can already imagine myself spending hours to come visit homestead from players that i know and don't know. It's a really good job from arena net here.

[@engilaru]

The big worry I have with this is how many systems are built into the map instead of using the decoration system. Each feature like that increase workload to create new plots to pick from, It's what happened to guild halls and the reason we only have Desert mountain, Desert Cave, Desert, and Island to pick from. We need variety in plots for this to be a success. Snowy areas, tropical areas, underground areas, city areas, any kinda biome they got needs a homestead to pick from. All home instance nodes should become placeable decorations. This would mean they don't have to place every possible home instance node into every homestead they make in the future. Atm there are 57 home nodes. Not that many to place around in a single homestead, but let's say we want 30+ homesteads to pick from. The work they got increase exponentially. Alternatively, let's say they go through that and made 30 homesteads, now any time they introduce a new home instance node, they got to pick a place for it in each of the 30 possible homesteads. It's not that big of an issue, but it builds up when you add more features. Stables are going to need implementations in every homestead, a landing for the skiff will too and requires water in every homestead (though these two features would be fine to not exist in every homestead). However, it would be much better if we could just make our own stables with the decoration system. Have a Raptor bed decoration, have a Skiff port decoration, etc... It would increase customization and reduce future workload for ANet.

[@AATproducer]

Muk, even if all your alts can't be in your homestead you can probably create a statue of all of them as the janthir announced mentioned that homesteads will be accountswide

[@seafighter4]

4:35 That is a lie! The Jackal is the best pet for consistently getting up lonv inclines. Sure, the only place where this might come in handy is when you want to get out of the Drakkar arena back to the surface, but still! The Jackal has at least one use case!

[@dontevenbotherme]

What I want is a basement or an attic where I can put boxes and boxes of junk

[@RoastedWalnutss]

The one thing i would really like to see is a billboard/sign or something to display titles, there are so many niche and rare titles that i will never equip so it would be cool to be able to show them off somehow.

[@WardenDios]

So eventually, we'll be able to have guilds where everyone has unlocked an Eternity and they all contribute it to be displayed in the guild hall, and then a decorator will be able to make a huge Eternity flower in the Guild Hall Foyer. Or maybe make a furnace powered entirely by Incinerator daggers.

[@melinnamba]

I am wo hyped for this, I can't even put it into words. Not because I am speechless, but because there is just so much amazing stuff I want to point out. It's already everything I wanted and so much more. I am hoping - but don't think it likely - they will let us invite players who don't own the expansion themselves. I would love to do some cosy gaming with my best friend, but he is not going to spend 25 bucks on a game that he likely can't play due to a disability. At least not unless he can test it out first and make sure he'll get 25 bucks worth of entertainment out of it. It might actually be great advertising if anet let us do that, but I fully expect that the homestead will only be accessible from a janthir map, so my hopes aren't very high. A girl can dream, though...

[@MrZerodayz]

Muk going on a brief rant about how you can't use your mounts in your home instance is pretty funny, considering you can't even glide in the place. They're core game instances through and through. I'll say, the homesteads are now decidedly at the top of my list of things I'm excited about with the new expansion. I'll spend way too much time getting it to look like a mess, but it'll be my personal mess. Also love that they didn't go the traditional crafting profession route, given how much of a pain scribe is to level.

[@Djynni]

My Jackal is actually my go-to land mount. I prefer it over Raptor because it goes as fast but doesn't have the "weighted" feel for starting and stopping.

[@Sangria713]

As someone who is not much of a decorator/builder and who has neglected the home instance since launch (and its nodes), I'm mostly uninterested but I am kicking myself, as I usually do, for essentially foregoing the free daily loot. I can see myself either doubling down and not caring even harder or if there's any QoL available even to players like myself, maybe finally being engaged by it. We shall see.

[@ddfordummies5099]

I would love to get crafting stations that you could add into your homestead. Not revealed but that would be my wishlist item.

[@coyotej4895]

The best home system I ever had the privilege of enjoying, IMO, was also part of a Guild system and in the open world of a well set up system that allowed near sandbox level of placement options. It was one of the greatest features in SWG before Sonie killed the game so they would not have to compete against it.

[@aries4378]

I have a house in Eorzea and a house in Tamriel. Trust me when I say this housing system is something to get excited for.

I hope build templates become a thing. I love this kind of thing but I suck at building. If someone has Their place build up and I love it. They can share it and once we have the materials we can make a replica of it.

[@Rabidconscience]

22:34 sadly I doubt it. The long charr tonic changes not just your character, but every character (except every 1/3 npc for some reason). It’s my understanding it’s a visual effect applied to your client rather than your character. A charr can dream though.

[@Oatmeal-Savage]

No, I think it'll work. When creating a statue of your current character, I think it takes a snapshot of your current condition, and makes that the statue. I predict it would work.

[@Rabidconscience]

@@Oatmeal-Savage but that’s the issue. It’s not a condition affecting your character. It’s a condition affecting your interface.

[@nebulastar9050]

... I use the jackle all the time. It's the best ground mount for uphill climbs or for quick teleports from node to node when doing some gathering. Raptor sucks on the uphill its leap is slower than the teleport, and the roller beetle is better for long distance travel. Springer is the one I never use.

[@pilarmonteiro205]

I consider myself a hardcore PvEer, but I myself always loved the housing systems from games like DC Universe Online, FF14, New World, etc... This looks sooo promising.

[@jerod4036]

This looks great! I was a little worried when anet stared hyping it up as the greatest player housing system in mmo's. I've seen too many game companies claim that x feature will be the greatest thing since sliced bread only to fail miserably, but this homestead looks pretty darn good.

[@radishsam2966]

Only 30 characters? But I have over 100!

[@Sir_Scrumpalicious]

As someone who spent more time in Fallout 4 building elaborate settlements than actual story and as someone who spends more time in Starfield building ships and outposts than story (especially since Creation Kit came out), I feel like I may be spending more time in Homestead than out in the open world. lol

[@3renegade3]

It'd be good if fashion statues work both ways, you could both apply your fashion to it, or apply the saved fashion on the statue to your current character/armour set. We all know how painful it can be to recreate your look whenever you want to change your gear.

This is actually an interesting addition and might...might get me to buy the last two expansions. We've been asking for a proper housing system since the GW2 beta...finally it looks like we have a system that looks interesting. The big question is how much does a floor cost, how much does a wall cost? If simple things are cheap and bigger showier things cost a bit more we will have people using the system make all sorts of crazy things...which is what they want. But if walls cost crazy rare resources, it will be a DOA system.
