Are you working on your Hall of Monuments? If so, what are your goals?

As many of us, Guild Wars fans, are interested to know, what will Guild Wars 2 be like, but of course, that is still too far to make any speculations. However, we are given a building called Hall of Monuments, which many of us believe it will grant us certain unlocks in Guild Wars 2. With this said, nevertheless, I have heard from people that they will not contribute any efforts into this until they find out what exact unlocks will be given. There are also people who believe that this is more or less a gold sink, and so there's really no purpose to this hall's existence.

However, personally, I believe there will be unlocks, and at least, I have something to do on Guild Wars, so I have been setting goals on HoM and finishing them.

Here are my goals:
All 11 Destroyer weapon types
All Mesmer armors
All Heroes/Pets statues
20 Maxed titles
20 Miniatures

And so far, I only have 2 Mesmer sets, one more max title, and 6 miniatures left to do, then I guess I'm pretty much done.

So are you working on your Hall of Monument? Why or why not?

If so, what are your goals? How is the progress on these goals?

11 Des. Weaps, 30 maxed titles, all Hero statues, and probably every 1st and 2nd year mini, along with the special ones I have. Not sure about armor; male warrior armor is pretty lame.

All Destroyer - Done
All Armor - Done
All Heroes/Pets - Done
All Birthday Minis+Mallyx - 5 left
All "elite" area statues+30 max titles - 7 titles to go

The most I'll probably get will be 27 titles though.

I don't care about the Hall of Monuments. Nothing in it shows the things I am truly proud of, because quite frankly the majority of it is repetitious grindwork. It doesn't show my memories of friends, great accomplishments, the skill I've acquired over the years, my characters' evolutions...those mean more to me than fancy armors or titles.

That's not to say that I haven't added to my characters' Monuments, because all 12 of my PvE toons have several things to add. My monk alone has all the heroes unlocked, several statues, a few Destroyer weapons and mini pets...but she has those simply because I enjoyed playing her so much. I refuse to grind for any title.

I can't say that I definately will be playing GW2, both because I'm still unsure about the high-or-no-level-cap and because I don't know what I'll be doing in RL during it's release. So I don't care about any 'future investment' for a game I'm not absolutely commited to playing in the future.

I'm just gonna continue what I've been doing...playing only for fun....avoiding grindwork as much as possible...hanging out with good people.

HoM is such an f'ed up debacle I don't even care, especially since there are irreversible things you do and we don't know what the outcome is, if things will change, or anything

its a mess and I'm pretending I never knew about it

Worst math EVAR!


Anyway, my goals
11 Destroyers
5 Elite Armors
5 Hero's/Pets
10 Titles
Mini pets I could give a shit about

The 10 titles I could carless about too, I've got the PvP ones in there and the Skill capping ones so I'm happy.

I'm going for the minimums

No I'm not. HoM, the main point of GW:EN (and if you try to say it isn't, keep in mind that the building that the HoM is what the campaign is NAMED AFTER). It was poorly implimented and intially full of glitches. Furthermore, nobody knows if there is a point to putting things into there.

So no. I'll work on titles, but only passively as I'm doing other stuff (ie, I'll open a chest if I pass by one, but I won't go out chest running for the title).

Wheres the math? I made no equations nor any attempts to calculate any sums, what you have before you could either be what I have or my goals, my goals need not be a rounded figure and therfore GTFO.

Since I don't have one main character, I really don't care. I try to fill up the mini monument for the hell of it, but that's about it.

So anyway, 20 minis x the 10 characters is 200, just a tad shy of the 5k you predict, even getting all of them on each character would not add up to 5k.

11 destroyer weapons x 10 charcters = 110, aslo a bit short of your predicted 333, even if you were to buy more, those slots would already be full and therefore not able to be placed in there.

You got the 5 elites per right, you must not have had any mittens on counting those, as well as the 10 char x 30 max titles = 300, so that must revert to the "sun shines on a dog ass sometimes" theroy to show you got that correct.

So you GTBTMC (Get The F' Back To Math Class)

I am maxing out titles for my own amusement... the HoM is just extra... I am not going out of my way to max it out.

1.Some titles just aren't worth working on.
2.I am not going to get all armor sets... because obviously some of them are ugly.
3.Most destroyer weapons look like crap.. so I have one in my HoM and thats it.
4.I'm not going to farm for months in order to afford the "very rare" minipets.

No, because it's a shit idea that was implemented with entirely no thought at all. It's nothing more than a cynical ploy to keep the masses quiet whilst they think up new ways to screw up GW2. Anyway, are they going to give us some extra storage space to keep all these shiny goodies in once we have them to display for various characters? No, they're not!

Welcome to the discovery channel, in this show we will be analyzing the new trend that is taking over the world 'nerdus maximus' instead of answering in a normal well thought response :

I'm just maxing titles, getting whatever armor I like, and getting the rare pets (not mini pets, screw those). The HoM was a good idea in theory, but horribly implemented. I'm getting the titles for my own person satisfaction, not for the HoM. Same with the armor, I got FoW because I think it looks best on my monk, not so I could display it on an armor stand.

But anyway...
I want the Destroyer items, 20 maxed titles, hero/pet statues (mainly so I can have a good variety of heroes, not actually for the statues), and all the monk armors (change my looks every once in a while ). I guess there's not really much left to do in GW except for "decorating" your HoM, which honestly I hardly ever go to anyway...

I found that too, and I'm so tired of looking at Olias's shiny butt cheeks all the time in that Krytan armour.

Goals....Dunno really, I'd like to reach R4 of KoaBD as it makes me laugh, but I really don't care that much. Stuffing the armour in is nice, but I've had to start putting mules on my hubby's account to stash it all.

As for buying a full range of destroyer weapons, of which a large portion are completely useless for my ele.. erm no, I'm not rich enough to waste money on that.

Well, I was working on my ranger's monument. I had 13 max titles, 8 elite armour sets, 6 hero statues, the phoenix and moa bird statue, and the generic pet statue, and 13 minipets or so. But I've gotten sick of my ranger, since I can't think of a new and exciting build to play while vanquishing, so I've paused that one for a while. May go back to it later.

I've started a necro doing LDoA. My goals for her would be to get all elite armour sets, as many minipets as I can (at least 20), all hero and pet statues, all destroyer weapons, and as many title and achievement statues as I can (at least 30 title statues and those for the elite areas, but I wouldn't mind getting some of the others. Not sure if I'll ever be bothered though).

I've also got a rit and dervish that I wouldn't mind working on HoM, but I don't know if I can be bothered doing that either. My original plan was to have enough characters with decently filled HoM to create a character of each race in GW2, but I have come to realise the flaws in that logic.

1) I don't know whether I will have enough time to play more than one character in GW2, given the increased level cap and everything, as well as having graduated from uni by then.
2) It'll take a very long time to fill up 5 HoM (this one isn't so big a deal. I have another 6 weeks holiday from uni left, all my friends have full time jobs, so there isn't that much else I could be doing. I foresee that the same will be for the 4 week holiday in the middle of this year and next, and the next 3 month holiday at the end of this year. Yeah, I do need to get out more).
3) I don't know if I can really be bothered.

Meh, I'm sorta working towards titles with my derv, but I just don't have the resources/time/skill to max everything. I don't get any joy out of grinding titles, I don't like the looks of a lot of the game's elite armor, and I don't care to spend thousands on keys/sweets/booze.

Also, I don't really want to dedicate my minis.

I'll just keep playing the way I have been. If money and titles come my way, great.

Had a full hall minus the destroyer weapons when the HoM so my current 1 destroyer weapon doesn't really signify much progress :P. I figure that I'll keep working on the last 5 titles for God Waking and by the time I've finished them I'll have enough onyxs and diamonds in storage from dungeon chests that I won't need to buy anymore.

the only thing that is keeping me from working on the HoM is because i dont know if i will have to name my gw2 char the same as my gw1 in order to use it. i use profession specific names so that wouldnt work for my future character.

Just the min for me, not sure if there is any point. If in the future there is a point I can always go back and put more effort in.

10-20 titles (only 7 right now not in any rush)
3 Armors, got that now
10 mini pets, got that now
enough heros to fill display, got that + a few extra now
all war destroyer weapons, got 2 so far.

I too thought it would be a main goal of mine at first, but no longer. I dont believe the "rewards" in GW2 for filling the HoM in certain areas will justify the actual time required. I'm fine entering GW2 without the inheritances that HoM bonuses might yield. I've really simply now gone for the titles that I had fun going for, and let it be only that.

Various things I have gone for and/or entered: FoW set and 15k sets for my monk (she collects armors anyway), Protectors and Guardians (I loved completing all those, and some various campaign completion statues come with that), MotN, Skill Hunters. There's other things in there as well, but those are the ones I liked a lot.

I have:
1 Destroyer Weapon: Destroyer scythe...only one I planned getting for the HoM
I have all hero/pets except Black Widow....maybe I will get it..someday
I have about 15 mini's I have collected..but I am not going out of my way to get more.
I have 4 sets of armor..maybe 1 more at the most is what I will work for.
Titles...going to try for R2 KOABD..but I can't see going for more after that.

I am using the HoM as my own personal motivational goal at this time. If I succeed..YAY!...If I don't, no biggie. I have enough in their to be happy with for GW2. Once I know what goes in the HoM will equal in GW2, then I might change my plans, other than that once I reach my goal..it will start to gather dust for my ancestors to clean up.
