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.

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!
Also new... me and a couple friends from work started playing last week together... we just bought the 2 first expansions that come together, and we are not even there yet... too much to discover and hyped for all that will still happen.... working on a good greatsword guardian build also hahaha
It's an amazing game! been playing since beta in '04 of gws1, loved it ever since. totally worth buying everything for it and more! There's also 1-2 more expansions coming out (after this one, rumored) as well as GWS3. And welcome to the game! :D
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.
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 ❤
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!
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.
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!
@@natsudragneel3431 everytime im online there are many players and maps of engagement with other players. and i tend to log in past 10 pm. so even then i see lots of active players.
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. AAAAAAAAHHH. I absolutely cannot wait. I'm ready to jump back in, baby.
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!!
That's what i'm saying bro! Paragon were the OGs! Seeing this expansion is totally giving me some EotN and Ascalon City Tyria vibes, might have to get over the different game mechanics and try to enjoy the expansion!
same soto was very underwelming and unrelated to the lore of tyria besides the astral ward. Which left me dissapointed and uninterested in the story when the astral ward got less screen time. It sounds promising lore wise hopefully content and storywise its good. Soto was more of a QOL update than an xpac and as many say its like a living world season. Nothing grand in the scale of previous xpacs.
@@gknucklez tbh SotO was very, very disappointing, except for skyscale fireball and wizards vault it was 100% bad. Like ai generated story, weak characters, boring maps, meta events made for 5y olds...
same soto was very underwelming and unrelated to the lore of tyria besides the astral ward. Which left me dissapointed and uninterested in the story when the astral ward got less screen time.
@@ea3414 I liked it up to when Cerus got killed but when it became good demans vs bad demons the plot became so boring an uninteresting. I probably would have liked the xpac in its entirly if it was just about Zojja, the astral ward, and Cerus being the main villain. Eparch and Peitha are so bland and boring. Tbh the whole demon concept never interested me I didnt like it in Gyla Delve and neither here in soto.
CAITHE my beloved!!! She gets PLOT after Aurene! I love dragon daughter as much as anyone, but I'm ecstatic to see our beloved co-parent gets to have a story and life after her.
VERY HYPED 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.
When we asked for housing, dozens of people would come out the woodwork and bash it, speak in ArenaNet's name as to why "they" won't do it and that its no good, mockingly even. Well, look at us now! Ha! :D
Don't get too excited. It's arenanet. I doubt there will be too much freedom with housing. Most likely "press F to build chair" as it was with literally everything else in home instances until now.
@@YoroifulFirst of all, Guild Halls already have full furniture placing and freedom, people build jumping puzzles, Beetle mount racing tracks, etc. Also "its arenanet" is actually biggest thing you could have said to get me excited, they didnt just do gliding, they did it proper, they didnt just do mounts, they did it proper, best mounts in MMORPG scene, they didnt just do fishing, they did it proper, with lots of achivements, items and even "boats". So we will be very excited, thank you very much :D
When the best time to begin an established mmo is ... today. Most big mmos are impossible to 'join in' 10+ years after launch. This is what makes Guild Wars 2 so special.
Just returned to the game yesterday and had no idea the next expansion was already here. I stopped before end of dragons released. Boy I've got some things to relearn lmao
I'm excited. A new weapon is never something to sneeze at and we get it on all profession's. As for me I'm also excited for the Warclaw to get some love. It's a highly underrated mount. So far from what I see the story is going to involve us dealing with a new clan of Kodan, potentially Titans( super hype for this), housing and new legendary spear and backpack. Mastery lines are what I think at least: homestead, probably spear usage, something with the Warclaw( similar to the turtle and skyscape), and something that will be expac specific. Overall happy to see some of the old NPCs back and happy to explore more of Tyria.
Will they remember to give the Janthir people Spanish names to finally explain Saul D'Alessio's and Doern Velazquez's names? Or are they from somewhere else unknown?
@@Bokatisha1234 Kryta isn't based on Spain at all, it was based on South East Asia in Gw1 and then vaguely Europe in Gw2. Saul D'Alessio was in Kryta, but it was never said where he was born, whereas Doern Velazquez is explicitly not from Kryta.
@@Bokatisha1234 Kryta isn't only based on Spain, you have plenty of french and italian influences as well. ( I only speak for GW2, it was different in the first one).
For Doern I think his character was like an easter egg, a reference to something they planned but never released, Utopia. As the place wasn't supposed to be in Tyria but in the Mists, that could explain why he doesn't come from here.
OMG Janthir! I'm officially hyped, haha. We were just talking in Auric Basin a few hours ago about how we had no expectations or expected to be disappointed, but going to Janthir is a great idea!! The music seems great too.
It’s the same as SOTO, that is the new model ArenaNet is going by for the foreseeable future. Small scale expansion where content is added over time in small pieces. They won’t do expacs like HOT, POF, and EOD anymore. They didn’t have the people to work on expansions and Living World Stories back-to-back. Anet also lost some longtime devs and the new ones were learning things anew. Not a good look for Anet’s future, but the playerbase is mostly financially invested by now so it’ll carry them for a bit longer!
@@judgedrago1143 Yeah but so is a skin for league of legends. It's an expansion which defines what kind of DLC it is. Calling everything DLC just makes it confusing. EDIT: And Expansions and DLC were not the same when they first appeared, not at all. They were two separate things.
I just hope there will be less filler content in this expansion. Like less "complete events to fill this progress bar"...I hope we get more substantive missions.
They have finally figured it out. Story mode raid will be available on release as a 50 player convergence. Then there will be a standard 10 player instance comming with patch #1. Challenge mode with patch #2 and legendary difficulty with patch #3. Also personal homes we can decorate and a new weapon on release. There's something for everyone.
Pretty hyped about the map design here, looks more like Drizzlewood Coast again than Cyberpunk-Tokyo or "copy-paste marble palace with walls way too high for my skyscale", nice! Also player housing? Pog! Finally :D Now if ATs had 2v2, 3v3, etc in rotation and unranked PvP had more gold rewards beyond the reward track that would be nice :3
Decided to take a break from this game 6 months ago, excited to play it again after seeing this trailer. However, Arena Net decided to block my account for no reason. Try to find out and ask my friend who is still actively playing, he said all players from our country are blocked. I play in SEA, Indonesia 8 years playing & about 4000+ hours playing. If by any chance Arena Net sees this, Arena Net you gay AF.
The music for the trailer was composed by Bryan Atkinson and it features Nyckelharpa played by Erik Rydvall (credited for: Loki, God of War, The Witcher and more).
THANK YOU for bringing back raids! It's been so hard to get my friends to try the game knowing that there aren't new raids (despite explaining strikes and such). If this continues hopefully I can get some people to come over and finally try GW2!
i wish GW2 had cinematic trailers for their expansion then followed by gameplay trailers, it would help so much with marketing the game, everyone loves a good cinematic and it sets the mood
Hell yeah! so hyped for this world setting! Also maybe new changes to WvW or atleast a change to the mount might be interesting. Either way im hyped for this! Good job Anet!
It's a red flag for me to hear some of the people speaking so slowly in this trailer. That was one of my biggest gripes with "Secrets of the Obscure"-it felt as if everyone wanted to pause after every word and each vowel was hung onto for dear life while nearly all major NPCs present in that expansion waxed poetry, all made worse by the persistent info/trauma-dumps from characters I was never given any real motivation to care about. I really hope that's not too consistent through the Janthir Wilds story. I like the aesthetic of this expansion already, though! There's a lot going on with the wildlife, fauna, flora, and magic creatures :D I am pleased with the scenery, and it looks worth while for just that alone. Anet killing all competition with their freshest after so many years? Say it ain't so.
Spear weapon is awesome. But, why not tweak the animations a bit? I mean who holds a spear like that? Is not too strange under water but on land it looks weird. They should be using both hands for leverage. I know combat animation will probably account for that, but the stance should be tweaked also.
I really loved gw2 before all the power/feature creep. HoT was the last great expansion full of interesting map designs and you had to really learn the maps and figure out the glider routes. The metas were fun and interesting and the raids were hard at the start. I feel like modern gw2 is bloated with power creep, utility creep and a whole bunch of useless masteries and not to mention mounts that let you travel anywhere without any real thinking... well they basically made the same mistake as WoW did when they introduced flying mounts which completely trivialized the game. The problem with this expansion is that we dont have any real nostalgia towards isle of janthir because we never been there lol. There was a little minipet in GW1 called Eye of Janthir, but apart from that no one really knows anything about it lol. To me it just looks like more copy pasted assets and more boring white mantle story lines. Its just not interesting anymore.
"Lets complain over and over again about every new expact" "No new mace animations, not buying soto" "the video isn't good enough, give us all the information at one time, not buying this junk" so old and tiring at this point, don't play anymore, simple.
@@JP1989-l9h You seem to be having a super cool argument with the strawmen in your head, no one said anything about whatever the voices are telling you. Expact? Aspect or Expansion? Whatever my dude keep consuming product.
Please please please please make sure the weapon animations and sounds are complete this time. Elementalist pistol still lacks a muzzle-flash, among other things, and alt sounds on weapon skins do not work like they do with every other profession.
@@DemethVLK the ranger leap and the spear explosive throw were both horrible. I hope they rework those. And I may be additionally harsh because I dislike playerhousing. It makes no sense in a MMO (MASS MULTIPLAYER) to focus on a place for myself. I have this in skyrim already, and we even have our player instances in cities already. We really don't need anymore of this :(
I can't wait 'till this goes live! I love the idea of player housing, but what I do hope is that we get different sets to choose from so not every house you visit of another player looks the same as your own.
Will this update fix the turn rate on the "A" and "D" keyboard keybinds? Why do you have such slow acceleration on the keyboard turn keys vs. immediately turning with the mouse camera movement? Are there any game mechanics that require it to be programmed in such a way? It is the one and only reason that I quit the game moments into trying it.
@@joshuahng1 What a gibberish response. There is nothing suboptimal about keyboard turning. The reality is that most people use a combination of both, keyboard turning and mouse turning, at the same time. All other AAA mmo's and most games in general do not have weighted acceleration on keyboard turning like Guild Wars 2 does. It especially doesn't make sense considering that the mouse turn speed is instantaneous compared to the keyboard turn speed. The only way that would make sense for it to be an intentional design, is if the dev's were actively discouraging keyboard turning. They have never stated that though. It just feels like an oversight that never got fixed. Which either shows incompetence or lack of concern on the dev's part. Many people have asked about this and never gotten a response. Just makes the game feel even more like a budget title.
Enjoy GW2, GW3's being delveoped, allegedly. So we might see a beta in 2-3 years. I can easily see a launch 5 years from now. At least they're working on it; compare th at to world of warcraft and ffxiv who are scared of making a sequel.
The game's engine is so dated, you can have a R7 7800X3D + RTX 4090 and your game will still lag on max settings. I'm not joking, look it up on youtube.

I really hope they reduce the number of reused assets this time around, it was horrible last time.
If anything....it will be almost all reused.
Titans from gw1 are already reused assets. They are destroyers and jade golem from EoD... Nothing similar to the old ones from the first game
They don't even have the artists to make new assets, let alone the ones of a quality that could math Path of Fire or Heart of Thorns lol.
I was about to comment on that sick logo animation but then you hit me with the mixup at the end
Yeah, that waterfall logo animation is the best of all of them.
'"This Place... It's stunning" Right...
I'm so EXCITED it looks SO COOL! Malice Swordshadow is back, ANISE is back! Are these a subsociety of norn? Grizzly Kodan? Oh my oh my!
The wait is un-bear-able
the last 2 exp packs look very weak I don't know if it's worth buying
Pretty hyped about the map design here, looks more like Drizzlewood Coast again than Cyberpunk-Tokyo or "copy-paste marble palace with walls way too high for my skyscale", nice!
Also player housing? Pog! Finally :D
Now if ATs had 2v2, 3v3, etc in rotation and unranked PvP had more gold rewards beyond the reward track that would be nice :3
Decided to take a break from this game 6 months ago, excited to play it again after seeing this trailer.
However, Arena Net decided to block my account for no reason. Try to find out and ask my friend who is still actively playing, he said all players from our country are blocked. I play in SEA, Indonesia 8 years playing & about 4000+ hours playing. If by any chance Arena Net sees this, Arena Net you gay AF.
Cry me a river. Thats what you get from buying RMT gold.
The music for the trailer was composed by Bryan Atkinson and it features Nyckelharpa played by Erik Rydvall (credited for: Loki, God of War, The Witcher and more).
Can we get gw3 yet
Getting to venture to Janthir is so exciting. Super pumped to spear our new enemies! 🐻🐻❄
Still the best and most friendly MMO
THANK YOU for bringing back raids! It's been so hard to get my friends to try the game knowing that there aren't new raids (despite explaining strikes and such). If this continues hopefully I can get some people to come over and finally try GW2!
PLAYER HOUSING IS FUCKING REAL I CAN'T BREATHEEEEEEEE
i wish GW2 had cinematic trailers for their expansion then followed by gameplay trailers, it would help so much with marketing the game, everyone loves a good cinematic and it sets the mood
Did that one throw a spear?! Paragon!
Its landspears, or at least the spears from underwater combat
@@SahkenI think he meant he threw a spear! Like paragon did! Paragon fantasy fulfilled
Yessss
And it looked freaking amazing!
Was that an elementalist using the landspear?
Hell yeah! so hyped for this world setting! Also maybe new changes to WvW or atleast a change to the mount might be interesting. Either way im hyped for this!
Good job Anet!
Hello. I would like to preorder Guild Wars 3. I am offering 59,99€. Looking forward to hearing back from you❤
Homesteads are unexpected to me but I love the idea! I wonder how they are going to work together with home instances. Hype is on, Anet!
It's a red flag for me to hear some of the people speaking so slowly in this trailer. That was one of my biggest gripes with "Secrets of the Obscure"-it felt as if everyone wanted to pause after every word and each vowel was hung onto for dear life while nearly all major NPCs present in that expansion waxed poetry, all made worse by the persistent info/trauma-dumps from characters I was never given any real motivation to care about. I really hope that's not too consistent through the Janthir Wilds story. I like the aesthetic of this expansion already, though! There's a lot going on with the wildlife, fauna, flora, and magic creatures :D I am pleased with the scenery, and it looks worth while for just that alone. Anet killing all competition with their freshest after so many years? Say it ain't so.
Complain about something else this doesn't matter
@@GBEWgw2 Says you with "gw2" in the nickname lmao
@@missk1697 again complain about something that matters.
@@missk1697 based
Spear weapon is awesome. But, why not tweak the animations a bit? I mean who holds a spear like that? Is not too strange under water but on land it looks weird. They should be using both hands for leverage. I know combat animation will probably account for that, but the stance should be tweaked also.
I really loved gw2 before all the power/feature creep. HoT was the last great expansion full of interesting map designs and you had to really learn the maps and figure out the glider routes. The metas were fun and interesting and the raids were hard at the start. I feel like modern gw2 is bloated with power creep, utility creep and a whole bunch of useless masteries and not to mention mounts that let you travel anywhere without any real thinking... well they basically made the same mistake as WoW did when they introduced flying mounts which completely trivialized the game.
The problem with this expansion is that we dont have any real nostalgia towards isle of janthir because we never been there lol. There was a little minipet in GW1 called Eye of Janthir, but apart from that no one really knows anything about it lol. To me it just looks like more copy pasted assets and more boring white mantle story lines. Its just not interesting anymore.
0:28 did you forget to turn on textures? Are those 2 reskins of the same monster? What's happening? Do you have 1 programmer?
This game is still innovating. It's the first expansion without the word "of" in it's name.
u guys are the best! Playing it since GW1. Still love it
Let's go!
Cmon guys, I know the studio is making lesser expansions now, but recycle mounts and weapons and still charge for that is not what Gw2 used to be..
“Let’s add another race they can’t play”
“What should we give them instead?”
“Land Spears!”
"Lets complain over and over again about every new expact"
"No new mace animations, not buying soto"
"the video isn't good enough, give us all the information at one time, not buying this junk"
so old and tiring at this point, don't play anymore, simple.
@@JP1989-l9h You seem to be having a super cool argument with the strawmen in your head, no one said anything about whatever the voices are telling you. Expact? Aspect or Expansion? Whatever my dude keep consuming product.
I'm gonna spend so much time on my homestead.
finally my own house and not a neighborhood full of stone nodes xD
Looks awesome! Funny that today I also heard the ‘end of dragons’ theme in a Dutch commercial for a programme I always watch. It’s a guild wars day! 🎉
Finally, wing 8
time to finally try wings 6-7
Please please please please make sure the weapon animations and sounds are complete this time. Elementalist pistol still lacks a muzzle-flash, among other things, and alt sounds on weapon skins do not work like they do with every other profession.
sheeesh these animations look f-tier. did you loose your entire team? O_o
You kidding, the spear rotation behind the head to reposition was EVERYTHING
Ranger leap was rough tho yeah
@@DemethVLK the ranger leap and the spear explosive throw were both horrible. I hope they rework those.
And I may be additionally harsh because I dislike playerhousing. It makes no sense in a MMO (MASS MULTIPLAYER) to focus on a place for myself. I have this in skyrim already, and we even have our player instances in cities already. We really don't need anymore of this :(
I can't wait 'till this goes live! I love the idea of player housing, but what I do hope is that we get different sets to choose from so not every house you visit of another player looks the same as your own.
Firs...DANGIT
Remeber first are last Mukluk.
move along
there was an attempt
Will this update fix the turn rate on the "A" and "D" keyboard keybinds? Why do you have such slow acceleration on the keyboard turn keys vs. immediately turning with the mouse camera movement? Are there any game mechanics that require it to be programmed in such a way? It is the one and only reason that I quit the game moments into trying it.
A D turning is slow because its used by absolute beginners. So its perfect the way it is. You cant be both using A D for turning and complaining.
@@joshuahng1 What a gibberish response. There is nothing suboptimal about keyboard turning. The reality is that most people use a combination of both, keyboard turning and mouse turning, at the same time. All other AAA mmo's and most games in general do not have weighted acceleration on keyboard turning like Guild Wars 2 does. It especially doesn't make sense considering that the mouse turn speed is instantaneous compared to the keyboard turn speed. The only way that would make sense for it to be an intentional design, is if the dev's were actively discouraging keyboard turning. They have never stated that though. It just feels like an oversight that never got fixed. Which either shows incompetence or lack of concern on the dev's part. Many people have asked about this and never gotten a response. Just makes the game feel even more like a budget title.
LET'S GOOOOOO
It looks amazing! August can't come fast enough :D
I will play it, but the trailer quality is really bad...
I really hope we get something new to WvWvW.
This game is really starting to show it's age now.
Enjoy GW2, GW3's being delveoped, allegedly. So we might see a beta in 2-3 years. I can easily see a launch 5 years from now. At least they're working on it; compare th at to world of warcraft and ffxiv who are scared of making a sequel.
The game's engine is so dated, you can have a R7 7800X3D + RTX 4090 and your game will still lag on max settings. I'm not joking, look it up on youtube.
dont see any need of gw3.
Oh god the environment looks so good. Really relaxing. Cannot wait for the expansion!

Omg an own home love it if they add an music player so you can every song from guild 1 2 and all expansions I am going to grind that house
