A question to Gaile/ Andrew
mazey vorstagg
I understand you're probably busy but I'm sure the community would like some official word on anything that will change in GWEN, especially HoM.
More specifically:
Will we get the option to add new weapons to the valor monument?
Will be get the option to add mixed armor to the resilience monument (with the old method this was impossible, but with the big statue clone surely this would be possible)?
Will the statues for The Deep, Urgoz's, Sorrow's Furnace etc, become retroactive, or do we have to do them all over again?
As you can see, there are lots of questions in the GWEN forum, can you give as the word from anet?
Thankyou
Mazey

I can say you'll need to do the elite dungeons again, since they weren't tracking them before.
SF is also a repeatable quest so it won't flag as "completed"

Screw the monuments.
The Hall of Monuments is a disaster.
I've got two tapestries in there alone after the preview event... for Heroes (got 5 up there) and Armour (just the one suit)... and don't care about either. The titles one just annoys me because there is no way for me to have the five I want up there at the same time now.... -_-;

When will Dwarf boxing be fixed?
No reward when completing Killroy's Punch out Tournament.
Even a fix like what yall did with the Norn Arena would be an improvement for reputation points and maybe some coin for the reward or something. As it is now I complete the tournament get the reward but there is nothing the reward is just an empty sack.

Bump for Valor changes.... I have 5 tormented weapons I worked my ass off for, then find that a craftable endgame is what is considered.... "valuable" anet please add at least tormented weapons for the pve'ers and HoH only weapons for the pvp'ers...

I think that would be a lot of change in the coding. I'm surprised we get to carry over anything at all... now it seems people will never be happy. I understand your complaints but really this is one of the first games I've seen that will let you carry *something* over. I guess I'm just trying to have people see the bright side of things.

Dear Loviatar: Don't use bold excessively, and don't type 75% of your post in caps, even if you think your opinion is just so much more important than everyone else's.
NOTE THIS
1. everything in your weapons monument will be as already stated [/B]for the very simple reason that aside from titles/minipets EVERYTHING THAT HAS AN UNLOCK IN GW2 HAS TO BE AVAILABLE TO EVERYBODY THAT BOUGHT GWEN.
THAT MEANS NOTHING GOTTEN ONLY FROM A RANDOM DROP OR A DIFFERENT CHAPTER WILL GO IN AS THERE IS NO GUARANTEE ALL PLAYERS CAN GET IT.
2. THAT MEANS CRAFTABLE FOR EVERY ITEM GOING IN THERE TO REMOVE THE RANDOM FACTOR OF DROPS
HOM is a very nice easter egg for GW1 players which will not make/break the success of GW2

This isn't all about the carry over to GW2, I could care nothing at all abou that!
This is more what is displayed in the Hall of Monuments than what benifit we get in GW2.

I agree with the Valor thing, that monument completely and utterly sucks right now (not even the title monument on the preview weekend was this bad...)
Nemo the Capitalist
i agree with Isaac on that one
Issac
And he told me to enjoy my bad lol, some people.
Back to the topic, does the armor even show up in the monument if you have different combinations? Does it have each peice on different statues or something?

Personally, I'd like it if we could add green items to the valor monument. They're rare, although everybody has the same chances of getting them; plus they're just as unique as the weapons we can currently add to the monument.

What about me? I have some lovely golds, but I'd never go after Tormented or Destroyer, because they're just not "me". And I never use greens, because they don't feel like "mine", either.
My solution would to create a crafter that can duplicate any weapon skin you have to a Monument version. It would likely be expensive, only work with green or gold, max damage weapons and the original weapon would either be disposed of, or customized in the process.
Anything less and I just don't see the point. It's like we're being set a list of targets, that don't necessarily have any connection to our characters, and will lead to us all having the same HoM (if we can even be bothered).
Cut forward to GW2... "here's my ranger.. look at him standing proudly, with the bow he never used... yes, he got the sword too, not sure why... oh, and there's that prestige pet he capped... yes, he gave it away soon after... I think there's a box of unusable minis around here somewhere..."

But you need to remember that there are _no_ item transfers between gw1 and gw2.
Go ahead and collect those destroyer weapons. You dont need to use them in Gw1 & and you wont use them in 2. But if you did collect them, you MAY receive a bonus item of some sort in GW2.

One possible suggestion...
Make the Destroyer weapons more unique, mod wise.
Limit them to pve only and give them some special bonus, some will complain about this but since they are craftable, and you can obtain all items required via dungeons its not too out of line.
Possible mods:
Destroyer Sword with +10 armor
Destroyer Axe with +45 HP
Destroyer Staff with +1 attribute, unconditional
Destroyer Shield with +5 energy
Destroyer Bow with +2 BeastMastery
Destroyer Scythe with 20% faster casting of spells(unconditional)
Destroyer Daggers with 20% increased attack speed...
These are just sugestions but you get the idea...

MisterB
As far as the Valor monument is concerned, ANet announced long before the release of GW:EN that it would display only weapons from GW:EN. Any weapons in the Hall of Monuments will unlock something in GW2, so there are probably very specific unlocks in GW2. Increasing the number of weapons possible in Valor would be nice, but it also slows down development for GW2.
Perhaps they could increase the number of possible GW:EN weapons to unlock a specific GW2 weapon, or maybe the number of possible weapons in Valor will be increased with the release of Hard mode in GW:EN. I find it strange that only Destroyer weapons can be displyed.

HoM is an "unlock" system for GW 2.
It make's sense that 1 billion + 1 billion echo weapon will not be there. Anet want it attenable.
As pointed out, it's a simple "unlock" for gw2, and the "stats" of gw1 will be very different for the gw2 "version" of that weapon.
That being said, I do think they should give some "empty' place holders we can put what we want in with the express knowledge it will not "show" up or count as an unlock in gw2.

What exactly is the point? The HoM is to show your GW1 titles in GW2, nothing else. Or do I misunderstand this? I mean, GW2 will be a totally differend game, probably without level cap and hence much stronger items.The best GW1 items would be only tutorial level stuff in GW2. So what do you expect to unlock that is really usefull?
mazey vorstagg
It's not about unlocking for me, it's just showing my weapons off. I quite like having a place that I can describe my character through their items and achievements.
Basically it's like the wow armory

Ok, thnx.
mazey vorstagg
I thought that putting any weapon in the HoM would do something. Rather than have an unlock for every weapon I was expecting something more like:
Sword in HoM: Get a fiery glow around your sword's blade
Axe in HoM: Your axe gains a icy glow.
Hammer in HoM: Get a new 'attack' animation whenever you're using a hammer
Staff in HoM: whenever you cast a spell your staff glows
e.t.c.
The armor is also grouped in catagories, so I thought it would be more like:
Ancient armor in your HoM: when you dance skeleton centaurs appear around you.
So, Green weapons should be added as well as rare skin golds. I think that very rare weapons such as Crystallines, tormented and elemental swords should have individual unlocks rather than the generic green ones.

it stated plainly in simple to understand language that it would unlock some nice no advantage thing in GW2.
while waiting you and friends can look at it.
no more/no less
aside from wishful dreaming compounded with a big dose of lack of comprehension i dont have a clue where you got that idea
also there are 15 destroyer weapons so far have you got them all?
Destroyer Axe
Destroyer Daggers
Destroyer Flatbow
Destroyer Focus
Destroyer Hornbow
Destroyer Longbow
Destroyer Maul
Destroyer Recurve Bow
Destroyer Scepter
Destroyer Scythe
Destroyer Shield
Destroyer Shortbow
Destroyer Spear
Destroyer Staff

I didn't expect us to have choose from a tiny selection of weapons to put in. Surely if you were to have a monument to you built today then no one would say "Sorry you had a flat, we can't give you any credit for that. Only people with mansions get their house recognised." Even the meekest of GW players should be able to put in their nooby green albeit to recieve smaller rewards in GW2.
I was expecting weapons to be sorted into groups, Perhaps:
Perfect non-rare skins
Perfect rare skins
Greens
Relics (destroyer and tormented)
Having a weapon from a group would give you an unlock, the rarer weapons providing more prestigious upgrades. You can't expect them to have a unique unlock for every weapon (although if they only do destroyer weapons then they might).

Well, seeing as it's 'non advantage' then it'll have to be an emote/aura/disguise kinda thing. What I said were only examples I thought up to show how I thought you'd unlock the prestige upgrades.
And no, I very much doubt I'll ever get a destroyer weapon. I can't even afford the crafting price let alone the materials.

Its nice to demand answers but you know what this forum is like..
Does someone want to do some reasearch and find all the threads with Gailes name in the title and work out how many she actually answered? I bet its not many..
