Monument to Honor/PVP titles in HOM - ridiculously high tier requirements?

When I try to display PVP titles in the Honor monument it won't let me.

Unless I am misunderstanding something about how it works, It seem to indicate that to display any PVP titles at all in the monument you must have the following ridiculously high tiers of those titles, else it displays nothing at all from your PVP achievements.

Champion - Tier 9
Commander - Tier 9
Hero - Tier 12
Gladiator - Tier 9
Gamer - Tier 9

Is this a bug? Am I misunderstanding something? Surely the HOM isn't designed only to display ridiculously high tiers of every PVP title, that very, very few players are ever going to reach?

On a separate note, it also seems disappointing that no statues go up in it if you have IVI, PKM, or KOABD, rather just a text blurb when you click on it that says what tier of KOABD you have. And I didn't see any way to add all your other individual PVE titles to it at all, either in the blurb or statue form. What's up with that?

PVP > PVE Always has been with ANET

I can see few reasons for so high requirements. GW 2 isn't near so plenty of time to grind titles + if display would already work on lower levels, building HoM wouldn't be much of a challenge - just one way to keep players hooked.

Is this good then, that I don't know yet..

I seriously doubt anyone with the capability to get rank 12 is going to do it for the Hall Of Monuments if they weren't going to do it before.

Should probably be made a little more accessible.

How many people even have rank 12? Unless I am miss-remembering, it took a year of hardcore PvP before anyone managed to get that far.

And that is only one of the problems with it - as it stands now, from what I have seen, the Hall of Monuments is a major failure.

I agree, not many are happy with the limits. On the other hand though, one could see that HoM PvP display should be available only for the most experienced PvP players, as a reward for all the hours spent in HoH, GvG etc - the ultimate recognition.

I'm not sure why, but I had hoped that 1 title on your account would equal 1 pip towards a future title in GW2. Kinda like how 1 max title counts as 1 towards the kind of a big deal title, except that it would require a higher total to reach a title for GW2.

The current system they have is pretty lame.

There are only so many hundreds/thousands of hours one can put into PVP before the "experience" knowledge of knowing everything caps out, and it caps out way before Rank 12 of Hero.

There is very little difference in experience between R9 and R12. Both required hundreds to thousands of hours of devotion to PVP and after all that time both players would usually have equal understanding and mastery of the game and all it's nuances. The R12 player just took the PVP grind to even larger, more ludicrous extreme. That doesn't make him a better or more experienced player. That could possibly be said for lower ranks than Rank 9 also.

Not really any reason to exclude any players from displaying all their titles. All that says is: "Unless you are a super hardcore grinder to the extreme, your accomplishments in GW mean nothing".

lolwut?

just, wow.

Wrong I did it for HoM !


Ignore the skill bar, its very good to kill Magni the Bison tho

R9 to r12 isn't really player development in terms of skill. It's just farming.

ANET FIX IT PLZ. WE ARE PVE player not PVP PLAYER.

Don't you mean "I am a PvE player not PVP, i do PVP but after i got to my lvl 3 mighty hero i stop, cause all i needed was the, popup animals thing."?

Lol.

I was planning on going to R9 for HOM pre-seeing all the new info. Looks like I wont even bother if it be R12 as I dont have time to get R12.

How about this:


Who the hell cares about the Hall of Monuments?

Are you really interested in some minimal tidbit of MOAR you might get in GW2 that will be completely irrelevant 2 weeks after release?

Or do you want to make money by charging guided tours to your Rank 12 monument?


Okay, we get it, you can play IWAY or [Insert FotM Here]-spike.

Get over yourself.

You may also notice that none of the PvE titles (Drunkard, cartographers, sweet tooth, etc etc.) make it to the monument.

[Fanboy mode: on]

This is so sweet Anet! I'm so glad about how it is. Who cares about those pve titles, right? We play this game for fun after all! And grinding for those titles is SO fun.

[Fanboy mode: off]

Going R9 to R12 is similar to going from R7 Sunspear to max.

all i know.... is wow, nice "gold pit" the titles r if anet doesnt fix this.....

and another thing.... i think this "preview" may have been the worst business decision ever made by anet, with the "look of GWEN, and the "HoM" im sure not going to be waisting any money buying GW2.....

/signed or whatever, im still not awake, the 3am EST wake up to have all my expectations squished like a bug has me considering other MMORPG

big failure. ok, I am gonna die with gw1, I am cool, but for god's sake give me a f. tomb will ya!!!

yes the hom should represent more titles maybe not the protectors but atleast the things that start with legendary + max kruzick or luxon title + sweet tooth and drunkard then i would be happy, also get over more content will be released in a week so stop making bitch threads about how disapointed you are because it will get better otherwise just quit and leave me to enjoy the game.

ps i dont get to enjoy it till monday >.<
