"Honor"

More than just PvP titles now....List of titles I can add: Protector of Tyria/Elona/Cantha (individual Monuments), Legendary Survivor, Lucky (non max), Unlucky (non max), Hero of Tyria/Cantha/Elona (individual Monuments). Max of 5 monuments. So far I love the Survivor and Hero Monuments...protector are just maps of each continent, meh. Hero of... are statues of Lich, Shiro, and Abbadon...very cool. The rearrange feature leaves something to be desired...no apparent way to remove monuments so if you add them in the wrong order you may not be able to display the ones you want.

"Resilience"

Now shows YOU in YOUR ARMOR...an exact copy of you...no joke...down to the dye and everything. Something strange with the colors though when I added a second set. Color changed to the color of the second set (brown) for both sets. When I added the third set they all changed to the color of the third set...default (for elite Druid).

I have a tapestry for Fellowship too but it hasn't changed at all as far as I can tell.

This is what I posted to the talk page of the Hall of Monuments over at GuildWiki...I just copied it here since I don't want to have to retype it.

Hadn't checked yet, but that's much better.
The only other thing I'd really like to see now is mini-pets customised for the account, and not a single character.

Oh and the monument for surviror is the Dwayna Statue

Other titles that I've gotten that don't have any recognition yet (probably because they aren't maxed):
Spearmarshal (9)
Vanquishing Lightbringer (6)
Slayer of Giants (4)
Treasure Hunter (1)
Seeker of Wisdom (1)
Delver (1)
Kurzick Supporter (1)
Tyrian Cartographer (at 90.1%)

Just took a few pic. Like the OP I had a few dye problems. My armor should be pink but the statue shows it as brown - maybe its an issue related to old style dye?

Also took a few of the statues:

as for the dye....in my pic in my original post....the fur-lined should be blue...the studded should be dark brown...but they are all the default tan of the elite druid's.

I wish the armor statues would look metallic like they did in the preview :/. I don't like my pink fat character.

I just wish titles didn't have to be maxed, but it does look like improvements have been made.
Is it still only EotN weapons in the weapons thing tho?

I miss the bronze, can't Anet just do exact copies with bronze? I'm sure they could half ass it like everything else.

So completing a campaign has the same importance as the lucky AFK title? LOL.

About the armor don't looking as a metallic statue, I think the reason is that was an uber fast fix ArenaNet did in some hours, because the bad reaction of people in forums about.

IMO, they (ArenaNet) must close HoM for some weeks, and re-work everything with player opinions/ideas.

Those are some giant images of yourself! Looks like an umbrella. Opening an umbrella indoors is considered unlucky...

About the bronze? Good riddance, I don't want to see bronze statues, I want to see my character and armour the way the really looked, dyes and all.

Wee-ell, the last time I checked, maxing the Lucky title sets your account back a cool 2000 platinum and then some, i.e., about the same amount that you must burn to get max Sweet Tooth or Drunkard. I don't know about you but for me personally pushing a character through a campaign is peanuts in comparison to acquiring 2000 platinum. Heck, you can even get run through a campaign with a significantly smaller amount of gold.

I really hate the placebo ArenaNet created just changing 1 or 2 minor things in HoM. Wow!

Would be funny indeed but remember that then all your gold (like everything else in HoM) would become customized and you couldn't trade or drop it any more, and eventually all that unusable gold would saturate your storage and all characters ... now where have I heard this story before?

I got a decent amount of statues in the honor monument now, some of them are just weak looking.... the maps for protector. But anyway one I didnt think people would see much is the one I have for LDOA so I figured I'd post it:

Kinda freaky though.

Not sure but I believe the monuments to titles that haven't/can't be maxed are designed to grow as you gain ranks in the title...

and that LDoA monument rocks!

The HoM looks much better in my eyes at this point...there's still some improvements that could be made...but I no longer consider it a disappointment.

I maintain what I said before- the Honor monument "changes" were just not live during the preview.

Is a monumental "I told you so" in order?

Personally I liked the bronze armor statues. Ehhh, I guess I didn't mind that they were representations of the entire armor style instead of specifically mine, but I'm glad its at least the right profession now

Kind of cool that you get one from the Sorrows Furnace too.

Does anyone know if there's one for the Titan Quests? I never bothered to finish them..
