Hall of Monuments Thoughts

The armor monument just displays a small paperdoll of the armor set you put up. Strangely it doesn't match your profession.

Like so....

wait you can only display max titles? that sucks.

I already had Protector of Tyria and Cantha, I wanted to have Protector of Elona for todays HoM visit.. I finished 10 missions on masters yesterday, went to sleep at 4:30 AM and woke up at 8:30 AM just for Guild Wars.

And lol, I visit my HoM and they say i must get rank 12 hero title?
I hope this is a joke...

I really hope anet listen to the community and do something about this.
The r12 luxon and kurzick titles need some attention, and ofc, the LDOA title.

They messed up or something but this is way unfair. Now I don't want to put any minis in my HoM. They should be customized to the account not a single character. Well since they are customized now you should be able to trash them and remake them like the Masks.

Not being account based sucks. I was working on two different toons for survivor and ledgenday defender of ascalon... guess I don't have to anymore.

This is ridiculous. I spend loads of hours trying to get titles, like r4, the kurzick supporter title, cartographer titles. None of them are maxed. I'm screwed. I guess people constantly grinding all of those crappy PvE titles (lb, ss, all of those things) are more skilled than I am with my r4, kurzick supporter, and I guess that for 2 years of playing this game I haven't accomplished a thing. Sorry, but I won't buy GW2. I wouldn't be getting GW:EN if I could get the pre order canceled.

Hehe.. indeed... how very unfair it is that mini pets are customized to a character when you enter them in the HoM.... they indeed should make it account based.

And while they are at it, make the mini-pet birthdaygifts account based as well, way unfair that I get a minipet when each character of mine got a birthday!!!! Cause after all, we only want to get 1 minipet per year.... /doh

/sarcasm off

Although I too would have preferred if the minipets would be accountbased in the HoM I also ask myself the question why all of a sudden ANet should make something that is character based on the receiving end, account based on the other end. (and yes, I realize too that some special mini-pets were attainable 1 per account)

Am just happy that they customize the minipet instead of locking it behind bars, never to be touched again. (but apparently as I understand in this thread, that latter unfortunately is the case for other things )

As for not buying/cancelling GWEN cause you don't like how the HoM is setup..... why do you play the game anyway?? GW2 still is years away from us so the HoM will be utterly useless for all that time, so why let an empty shell like the HoM ruin your game experience??? Just ignore the HoM and enjoy the game just like you've done before!!!

I agree, the PvP titles are the most gutwrenching thing to max in the game. Make something come out of them for getting any rank at all out of them (maybe r3 for hero).

I can not believe Anet would think that customized minis to one char is a good idea i mean WOW COME ON ANET PULL YOU HEADS OUT OF YOU BUTS
i did not spend 200k on all the minis from 1st and 2nd year so i could put them in the HOM and not be able to show them on all chars i mean WTH really thats the worst thing ANET has ever done
The HOM is a big dissapointment at the moment i have sooo much stuff to put in it but im debating if i wanna even waste my time if its gonna stay like this i dont know if i will even put my 17 showable titles in it

Lets keep complainging and hopefuly they will change it cause if they dont im not even gonna buy the Expanshion and GW2

question what will happen if i put my armor on resilience tapestry?

anet: scrap it and go back to the drawing boards, the current HoM is complete nonsense and only shows that you lost touch with you playerbase..

I am almost certain that the customization of the minipets isnt going to change by the time the game is released, or by the time GW2 is released. Think about it. For every monument you have in the HoM, you are going to get a unique reward in GW2 that no one with only GW2 will be able to get by playing the storyline.

So what do you think would happen if your 10 characters or up to 25 characters all had every single miniature in the game? The GW2 market would be flooded with these "unique" rewards when in fact they would be worthless. The fact that they dont get to get stored in the HoM is dissapointing, but if you dont like the fact that they will be customized, then you have 2 years to decide which character you want to "be remembered" for them.

stop winning ,anet is right i dont want to see HoM full of Bambie's

WTH it should be account based, this sucks, atleast since its character based make it display the proper armor, i want to se my female ele fow, not ritualist teapot armor and the hideous assassin fow.

Just for the record, Gaile has already said that she likes the suggestion with regards to minipets being customized to the account rather than the character and has/is/will be taking that thought to the developers.

Before this weekend came, folks were trying to figure out which titles, pets, armors, etc they should get ready to be enshrined... and were wrong (and right) in many cases.

Now folks are trying to figure out what the HoM will mean in GW2 - when we've been given little to no information on that aspect. So why the rush to enshrine stuff? Its not like your mini-pets will pass away, your armor will rust from disuse...

I'm going to reserve judgment on what's right and what's wrong with the HoM (and that means I'm not going to utilize the HoM) until I learn more about the outcome of all this. No sense in customizing my Gwen mini if it gets me squat in GW2!

This is what i think.



Hall of Monuments is under construction maybe?

I thought Gaile said it wasnt gonna be fully working?

i have to work today (stupid rl!) so i am hoping this won't be a huge disappointment when i get to it. my main has 16 titles, 2 sets of 15k armor, all upgraded hero armor, a none-too-impressive mini collection other than my bone dragon, and a decent green bow collection.

i was hoping for like, a butler in my friggin hall. (not really. but you get my point.)

i am going to be none too happy if my armor shows up as some random prof/wrong gender/anything other than what i'm wearing!

How many want to see most/every title displayed and not just PVP and NOT just max rank?

Why only high end weapons from EYES OF THE NORTH? Why not from other campaigns?????? That's bogus. I know lots of people who spent a crap load of time getting stuff like tormented shields and weapons.

i have not been to the HoM yet but it sounds like it needs serious reconsideration A. you should get recognition for ANY title u get at any level...if your title is bigger then congrats for you but i should still be able to carry over my r6 hero to GW2. If u didnt think the titles mattered until they were amazingly high then u wouldnt let us display them until they were amazingly high.. show the same concept in the HoM..mini pet prob im sure this will be fixed it amkes no sense..also HoM should be account wide what if i didnt wanna get my ele though nightfall and never got those titles..seriously though the PvP title system IS MESSED upmake it so any showable title in the same is showable in the HoM the good guys still get their shown and the not so good still get theirs shown . this game is played by the players...might as wll make it what the players want eh?
SOEMONE START A POLL(S) ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES AND MORE then we can see what everyone thinks

Question can other people go into your HOM? and if they cant then why do other people care about all the bambie's? and what other people put in their HOM? Just a question.

The clock was ticking into the early morning on the East Coast. 3:01AM. Finally! I log onto my character and delve into Eye of the North. Pure elation! The music was awesome, the graphics were cool. I felt a feeling close to giddiness as I journeyed closer to the Hall of Monuments. I had seen all of the movies, read all of the reviews. I felt prepared for what I’d see.

The Monument of Devotion would be where I could finally unload these 35 minipets off of a storage character and set them on a shelf, how cute!

And over there, the Monument of Valour! Maybe it would be a checklist of greens found throughout the world, a place where I could amass an arsenal to prove to the future that Absolut Monk was worthy of her name. Maybe it would be a place I could enshrine my precious Long Sword of Enchanting that I’ve 55 smited so many foes with.

Oh yes, and the Monument of Resilience! I could unload my seven sets of 15k armor off of various storage characters and set them on a shelf so that future generations can remember what I looked like.

Gasp! The Monument of Honour. This is what I’ve been waiting for, as my monk truly is absolute. Having 24 maxed titles, I had imagined seeing something truly worthy of showing off to my friends. In fact, my 25th title is just around the corner! Maybe I can run those last 500 chests this week before the game officially launches? It would make that monument/statue thing light up with a thousand shades of bling!

And then I got there, and I feel disgusted knowing how much time I’ve wasted on my character. There was no bling, only burlap. “Please select a PVP title to display on your monument”. I was shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that even my KoaBD track barely got a footnote along side of chapter completion. I can display my title on my character and get the same effect!

So at close to 5:00 am this morning, I shut down my computer. I will log back on in a week, with a clear head and a better attitude, knowing that ANet will make it right.

i get the impression I'm of a minority here but why should these titles be account based? When you got the title on a character (survivor, cartographer etc) it was character based, not account based, so why should they change it for the Halls. If you want it for each character, stop complaining on here and go get exploring, got 2 or 3 years to do it in after all

Remember that bit in Empire Strikes Back? You know the bit where Han's just been frozen and Vader is leaving and tells them to bring Princess Leia with them. Lando says something along the lines of, "Hey wait! That's not part of our agreement!" and then Vader turns on him and menacingly says "I am altering our agreement. Pray I don't alter it further."
Yeah. That's Hall of Monuments.
It's like they said "Hey! Great thing about GW2!? You can take all your heroes and armor and pets and titles with you from GW!" ...now it seems like they're saying..."Well, for the most part..."
Yes, I know it's just a "sneak peak"...practically a beta-test. I just hope it gets changed to something more in tune with the concept that they got everybody worked up about.
I thought the idea was to please loyal players. Not just "leet" players.

Do they even list the PVE titles? Only titles I see you can chose are PVP and they are all max rank, for all those 3 players that have any.

Character based dooms those who play multiple characters to having a Hall of Mediocrity. There's no reason a family of characters couldn't be represented in the same place, unless you want to actively discriminate against people who don't focus on one character.

Why does the HoM (note: a location in a PvE-focused expansion) seem to care more about PvP titles?
I love title hunting, yet all I get is a little note that I'm 'KoaBD'? I must admit was expecting something a bit... bigger... for all the work I've done on those titles :S Like, for them each to be recognised individually?
And I'm really proud of my armour collection. ...Could we please display it properly? Please? My rit wouldn't be caught dead with kurzick necro armour in her wardrobe, after all ;;

Eh... I'm holding off on the HoM for now and hoping some things get changed. Was really looking forward to filling it up with all my accomplishments... but it seems I don't have any of the 'right' ones :/

(Edit: And hey, as a PvE player, I'm proud of my bambi! It may not be worth anything to PvPers, or in my GW2 inheritance, but that doesn't mean it's not worth displaying in MY hall =p)
