Is the HoM really going to be changed?

Hi there,

I've read a lot of times, that maybe the HoM would be changed to show more things, or to make it more comfortable to use. I was thinking... Is this really going to happen? Or will it fade in smoke?

I really think that some changes are needed, like letting you by radix buttons to choose which titles/heroes/armors are showing in their respective Monument. I'm not talking about adding more weapons to weapon monument. Just to make some tweaks to the HoM.

What do you think?

Sorry for my english, as always, I'm a retarded spaniard

If changes are coming (Gaile did say the HoM was getting a look at for some minor changes) they will come with the Hard Mode update i reckon. The arrangement system is the first thing they need to change.

as far as this goes dervtank . talks about mini update and how its aranged(update in the next2 months).also talks about a new title being added

Also, having the minipets customized to your account instead to one char would be nice.

If this is not possible, at least, let me save storage space by leaving them in the HoM, so I have not to store them in my main charr or Xunlai storage.

Yeah, one can only holp that the next HOM change will be for the better.

let's just hope they change the mini thing and make it retro active, I'll probably go on a destruction spree if it says "FROM NOW ON mini's put in the hall will be account wide" etc.

Make HoM a one-button access.

Add Xunlai Chest to HoM.

Only 2 things in the HoM need to be changed:

1. Minipet customization
2. Organizing your monuments better.

Only other thing that would be nice (but not needed) would be to include End Game greens in the Valor monument.

Hopefully the implement some changes come HM.

They also promised us an auction house prior to the release of factions, I doubt we will ever see either

The mini update will be really nice.

I think it would be cool to have the Hall of Monuments a seperate town or something that works like a GH. I'd rather zone through 1 town than go to eye of the north then HoM. It would be more of a convenience.

like i said they are changing the hom . mini pets will be able to be accoutn wide and stored there if you read the derv chat logs you would know that ll . there on wiki

and auction house they nevr promised that ever. dont know wher eyou getting that! only thing said about action house was it would be something they are looking into for gw2. and would be a nice adtion to gw2. but as far as gw 1 they said there working on to many other things and dont plan to put something total new and big as that into the game. with gw 2 coming out

Yes its being worked on. It will however take time to happen. its not going to be tommorrow or even next week, maybe not even next month... But it is being done. Its been mentioned by Gaile both in game and in Wiki notes and on other anet developers Blogs and message boards.

It will have some things we have requested and maybe even a few complete revamps we had not thought of... IE some things like storage and merchants type services to be upgraded in the HoM, and direct linking to HoM without going through the eye... Similar to Guild Hall button on G menu screen...

Here is the public link to Galies notes...

the others are private. You have to join to get access to some of them.

And no the AH was demanded by fans but Anet never promised it would happen and ultimately never finished the effort they had done on such a thing for a multitude of reasons...

Expect a City of Villains style Black market auction system in GW2, built into the game engine form the ground up. Doing such a system in the original GW engine would require a full overhaul. that is why its not going to be done... (there are other legal reasons too as it turns out, but those are oft disputed)

Why the CoV black-market? Well for one I have run into a few familiar names from the alpha server over in CoV specifically checking things out on this NCSoft market system...

It boast some really nice things in it and would simply be a licensing issue with their parent company to use it for GW2.

Another issue is the history function in posting a new item to the black market... every item has a historic price history for what is sold.
Thus making it very easy to do price checks and demand spikes for items. NOTE: these are indeed the price history for SOLD items, not items that are just sitting there at high prices unsold.

There is a limited slot system for stuff to sell. As you sell stuff its too your benefit to sell it sooner then later. The incentive for this is the FEE system.

If something does not sell for a price that is set too high it actually costs you a percentage to keep it listed. eventually it sells and you end up with nothing if its there for say a year before selling. that kind of thing... But lets say it takes a few weeks to sell your item. (RARE) well there is a marginal fee for that time it sat on the market unsold when you claim your payment. So say something sold for 20k. you get 19800 gold total for that item that was on the market for 2 weeks time. that kind of thing...

Anyways.. I digress here... this is long long away... GW2 at the earliest. GW1 will never have this. Anet has openly said that numerous times. just because people still want an AH in GW does not mean it will happen... It may well not be possible at all in the current design. Which I think is the case. Remember from Anets point of view no 1 item was suppose to be overly desirable in the game and as such it was never planned for a major demand based AH system in the beginning. such things was considered beneath the need for having it in GW when you consider no rare weapon was much different or better(stat wise) from easily obtained collector or crafter weapons from NPC rather then players that over charge for things. The idea was let them get equivalents, and that the demand will drop... Well that was true for many, but there are still many others that just do not accept this.

That system for AH sounds really cool. I could sell things! Now, I just don't want to spend the time in game to sell things, I just want to play.
