Still no love for people with combo armor...I guess this is Anet's way of saying "we hate creativity from our users"

Sigh...guess I have to shell out another 70k if I want to have a set of armor in my HoM, even though all my armor on my monk and war is 15k pieces.

Just some thoughts:

* Monument of Resilience - Does what it should do now. No complaints.

* Monument of Fellowship: I don't have any heroes with upgraded armor and I probably never will since it is purely a cosmetic upgrade, but I can understand not wanting everyone to just throw their heroes up there, since it doesn't represent a significant achievement (though dumping 15k on an cosmetic armor upgrade doesn't feel like much of an achievement either).

* Monument of Devotion: I think I can live all of my pets being connected to my main character, though having it account-based would be better.

* Monument of Honor: Glad they did end up including PvE titles. Sneaky Anet making us worry. I am loving my SS and LB (and yes it does look like the guy from RE4... what are you buying?) statues. No complaints here.

* Monument of Valor: This is my biggest disappointment. I was honestly hoping this would be like the Honor monument where they just locked certain features until the games release, but sadly it appears that only high-end GW:EN items can go up there. All I have to say to Anet is, why did I bother hunting down greens in SF or in the other campaigns? I really can't understand how, at the very least, your greens from other campaigns shouldn't be allowed up there. That really shouldn't be a lot to ask.

Yes HOM is a lot better than it was in the Preview, however I wouldn't go so far as to say it's perfect, or fine and dandy as is now. Or that all it's problems are fixed.

It only display 5 monuments per platform at once. That sucks, a lot. Can't fit all my great titles on there at the same time. And can't get the 5 I most want on there to be on there together, due to the poor selection mechanism of that. Can only click on "Rearrange", which bumps off titles I want every time it puts a different one I want up there. That's no good.

On my Hero and pets platform I got 4 Heroes and 1 "Animal Companion" showing a bear and wolf and hyena when the only animal companion I put up there was a Mountain Eagle. I got all my Hero armors since the Preview because I thought it was the one thing HOM would display properly, yet it's limited ot just 5 at a time (including generic "animal companion" statue) and they can't be arranged properly either.

Major credit where credit is due for them fixing the statue of your armor so it shows your character in full color. That change is awesome and the one and only part of HOM that has now been fully fixed. Anti-signed on all the posters who wanna get that changed back to something crappy. Full color statue of your character is 100% perfect and should never, ever be changed.

Well, what do u think man. The hall is small, enough for a party, may be around 100 can fit in. In the hall, that small, u cant show it all, if they create a big giant halls, now that can fitx in all. I would just lmao if they did that. A giant hall with statue of everything you did. All the amor you collected, all the animal you tame, all the hero you got. all the title you master. Oh man that will be a huge hall to fit them all in.

ANET i dont mind this HOM, is great.. But will be evern better if you create a giant hall, just like a museum. Omg that will AWSOME.

But then agains. there will be always some one will againts the idea. FU to whoever againts this.

btw, for those who put in grotto and citadel armor in the preview, those have been removed. i'm assuming its because you can put the individual sets in now. checking now.

Yes, the improvements are very, very nice. I'm not sure why they didn't just tell everyone that lots of changes were coming, instead of letting us think it would suck. But in any case, they did a good job.

Things I'd still like to see, as others have mentioned:
A better way to arrange monuments
Show the correct animal type for your pet
Show any green from any campaign

It'd just be cool to be able to put any weapon in there. It wouldn't bother me if only GWEN weapons gave us GW2 unlocks, and older ones were just for show.

According to ANet's own marketing blurb on the website, the HoM is supposed to allow stuff from all games of the GW series, so I'm hoping they just didn't have enough time to implement all those quite yet.

I haven't seen any threads about Elite Armor for GWEN or where you can go get them. I tried taking my GWEN heroes to the Elona challenges only to be rebuffed about having an option to upgrade their armor. So I hope they allow Elonan heroes in the Hall rather than just GWEN.

Aye, the current Hall is MUCH better. I'd still like to see animal companions being shown individually, though - although if only the three 'special' ones are going to filter down, I'm beginning to think that maybe I should grab a Phoenix for my ranger and get a crab with someone else...

On the arrangement of statues, may I suggest the following:

Select "Rearrange" option - ALL statues disappear.

Prompt: Select title/armour/whatever to display (gives list of activated items)
Selected item goes in first space.

Prompt: Select title/armour/whatever to display (gives list of activated items, except for the one already on display)
Selected item goes in second space.

And so on, until you run out of items to display, with items after the fifth not appearing but quickly accessible through a "Rotate" dialogue option which has the same functionality as the current system (in case someone wants to quickly cycle through to show off all they have).

Thoughts?

I like what they have done with the HoM...but for some reason my armour statues are dyed pink, even though one set was never dyed and the other was dyed black....

What's happened with the mini-pets? I heard that they will be un-customised to a single character, but are there any changes in the HoM? I'd like to know before I start hanging tapestries on that side of the building.

Monument of Valor showing first year series of minipets:

It looks great, but too bad it has the drawback that I can't use them with other chars anymore.

Actually, they've specifically said over & over that you can only display weapons from EotN. "achievements, trophies, and titles across all Guild Wars games" still allows for weapons to be specific. "trophies" may refer to armor, Heros or Pets. Doesn't promise that your weapons can be from anywhere.

There was mention of special "red" weapons that you can get in EotN which will be the ones that qualify for the monument.

Any sign of these yet?

/signed (: I want to be able to get newer titles up eventually, but they wouldn't be able to be pictured with some of those up already if the current arrangement system in place continues.

Why allow GWEN Elite weapons only?
How about those we got in DoA? in The Deep? in Urgoz?
ALL NOTHING!
GWEN just make GW like another World of GuildCraft.
WTF..

Improvements I would like to see to the HOM are;

1. Put my fow armour in that had an old dye combo on it, now it looks awful and I cannot remove it and re-input it with post nightfall dyes on it. Please allow us to take the armour out and re-do it if needed. Or another way of fixing this problem. This problem is prevalent in other areas of the HOM as well, the ability to edit your monuments post input would be benefitial to many people I believe.

2. The PVP titles. All of them are just a map of the battle islands. I mean come on. These titles are some of the hardest to gain and most prestigious titles in the game. We need something better to represent the hard work these titles take to improve. For example maybe an actual gladiator figure for the glad title, a wolf/tiger/pheonix for the hero rank etc.

Those are the 2 main improvements that would make the HOM better for me and i hope for many others as well.

The HOM is going to be our crowning achievement to take forth into gw2 and we should have the ability to make it the best it can be. Not only by what you put in but being able to rectify mistakes and/or bugs.

Please read and take on board anet.

Two things I would like to see,
1- Let us post other high end weapons from other chapters, lets say req 9 and below.
2- The ability to sort the monuments ourselves and not random like it is now.

The only gripe I have against the Hall of Monuments is the lack of a comprehensive sorting system, so you can set up your heroes, armors, and most importantly of all titles the way you like them.

And my major question is...how will multiple HoM's in your account affect your GW2 rewards...that'll be interesting. Right now, I just have one HoM for my primary though.

I hoping if ANET can do combination of armor display as long as the armour pieces are all 10k-15k above.

I dont ask for combination 15k with low regular armor, but as long each armor pieces are 10k above, its would be much more fun.

It would be better for people to be creative and original then just plain 15k armors.

and the coloring of the scalp patern those must be FIX!!!
Like my monk head primeval head scalp patern, if u dye it with purple dye, the outcome of the color would be "green"., but i want it to be purple, so in order to get the purple result, u have to dye it with green dye.

HOWEVER, when u put the armor in the HoM, my monk scalp comes out GREEN!!!!! its like poop on my head!

HoM only understand the original dye color that are used for dye not the outcome of the color.
That is utterly stupid! ANET need to fix that!

And you`re the petty thing.

OT. Would be nice if we could arrange things rather than clicking and hoping but maybe it won`t matter in the end. Depends how and what they mean when GW2 comes out.

agreed. especially with the hero and titles monument, it never rearranges the combination you want. maybe like a checkbox system in the list to show which 5 you want on display.

Good question, I'm not finished either. You have to finish Final Assault after GW:EN went live for the sorrow's furnace statue, and there isn't one for the titan quests. You can't get them a second time and they don't show up in HoM if you finished them.
