Homesteads are what i thought personal instances would be way back at launch.
Glad you guys are finally making the shift. It will finally feel PERSONAL.

I started playing this game for the first time about 2 weeks ago. ~50 hours in, I pulled the trigger on buying every existing expansion because I'm absolutely loving it. I had literally zero idea coming into it that a new expansion was in the works, but it's awesome to see it!

This is such a milestone for Guild Wars 2! Imagine if we start getting "Homesteads" to unlock across different locations in Tyria. I NEED my asura player housing ❤

From the blog about housing: Your journeys will lead you to your own homestead, an account-wide personal housing instance for you to develop as you complete its associated Mastery. Homesteads present you with an area of land and a permanent structure to cultivate, decorate, and share with your friends; you can also access nodes and unlocks you've acquired for your personal story home instance in your homestead. Before we launch on August 20, we'll be back to share loads more information and a look at Homesteads decorating.

Super stoked. Love the art style and feel of this expansion. I feel the “wilds” concept coming to life with a touch of dread that bjora marches had. Player housing being added is DOPE, I hope we will be able to showcase all the unlockable trophies we’ve accumulated over the years. GW2 is not a dying game, this trailer is more than proof! LETS GO!!!

Edit: how can I forget to mention the MUSIC?! The opening sequence is beautiful, I feel the Scottish/gaelic/scandinavian vibes. We are in for a treat FAM!

[Zaxeras]

Tbh this is the first time a trailer hyped me. Seems really atmospheric and detailed. Bring me some Howling Fjord vibes, hopes this dont be ruin with a skyscale spam.

IM SO EXCITED.

New raid content??? I would have lost that bet. AND RAID CONTENT OPEN TO OPEN WORLD PLAYABILITY???? I'm losing my mind.

The Grizzly Kodan look so fantastic and I love seeing the races expanded upon.

Janthir Wilds looks astounding. Gives me heavy Guild Wars 1 vibes. I can't wait to explore this wooded area.

I'm so happy to see some old characters come back! Anise and the leader of Ash Legion? LETS GO.

P L A Y E R. H O U S I N G.
I KNEW I MAXED OUT SCRIBE FOR A REASON. I absolutely cannot wait. I'm ready to jump back in, baby.

[Aeon_Zz]

I've been playing since beta... every expansion I have prayed for housing...

I'd almost given up!

I'm literally sitting here crying!!!

Thank you ANET! THANK YOU!

[KitTheTraveler]

KODAN, KODAN, KODAN!!! *Screeeecccch* The area looks really great! Please, please, please raid!! The housing idea is alright. I hope there is a BOOK SHELF FOR ALL THOSE BOOKS THAT I DONT WANNA TOSS!!

TONS OF GW1 lore vibes!! I love the fact Tyria is such a mysterious world we know nothing, there's always a shadow of something bigger and more mysterious.
