If getting the God title counts, that's what I'm working towards.

Currently, I'm working on my armor monument. I'll be done by next week Saturday and my monument will have 3 armor sets. Monument(Curses), Elite Canthan(MM), and Elite Necrotic(55). Filling the armor monument will then go to the back burner. In the next day or two I'll stop being lazy and get a Black Moa for my first pet. After armor I will start working on minis. I'm just gonna fill up on white minis but I will have a mini Black Moa(mini Black Moa is teh cuteness!!) as my crowning mini. While I'm making money for the minis I can get Protector for all 3 games and then get Guardian. This weekend I'm gonna max SS and at least get to r7 of LB. I'm doing ok on my rep titles, though I need to catch up alot in Norn rep. I'm going to fill my HM books in GWEN and prolly turn one in for Deldrimor and the other for Ebon Vanguard. So much to do. I just need to get better at maximizing my time in game. I could be so much further in what I need to do.

I'd like to work up a few titles, but RL is very busy, so I just pick at things like old scabs. At the rate I'm going, I'll have all my titles around 2012.

Not concered about what i have in there all that much.
TBH if HoM unlocks special things in GW2 it would be a mistake. That game needs to be fresh not a continuation of gw1 besides maybe story lore. Otherwise HoM should just be there to reminisce over gw1 not to unlock some special thing to flaunt.

Meh...can't really be arsed with HoM. I would like to get PvP monuments, but they are too high for me to reach since I don't play that much anymore...Maybe I'll get some of those elite mission statues...

I'm mainly putting in minis as I get them, not gonna buy or bother trading for them, just what I get. pets and armors. Elite druid's, and primeval armor. Soon adding ancient and elite drakescale. storage is gonna be a problem soon. too many armors.

I'm working just to get as much in there as I can. This actually gives me stuff to do but I get hooked on certain things for a while sometimes missions, sometimes dungeons.. w/e I'm saving for obsidian armor now tho. I know.. I'm gonna get pissed when I see the first e-bayer comment but oh well. I'll know it wasn't e-bayed and that's all that really matters.

But I think I'm going to re-create my necro the day before GW2 goes live and spend the day running around pre helping newbies. I'll spend my last day in GW where I spent my first day. IF I like GW2 that is. lol.

There WILL be a surge of new players when GW2 hits, people that will wonder, what about the first? happens all the time.

Mostly I'm just curious as to what the HoM will unlock in GW2, so since I'm getting this stuff anyway might as well throw it up in there! So far I have my elite enchanters set that I still have to get the gloves for and then that'll be it for armor. I'll throw up a pet...if I ever get one (dying for a mini Aatxe, so cute!), and I'll get my heroes up there. I don't make it a point to work for titles at all, but if I happen to get any of em, why not toss em up.

For me HoM is just a side thing for fun that I'm not even considering as a point of doing anything for. If I happen to get stuff to put into it along the way, great! If not, I won't even think twice about it.

have all upgraded hero armor
elite armors vary depending on the character. unfortunately my ranger is my main character but i only have 2 sets in my hall cause ranger armor tends to be fugly.
mini's i'm not concerned with. i have what i get for birthdays, and i like them.
i'm already working on/have many titles so that gets filled as i go along. i really wish there was a checkbox option to show your favorites though.
destroyer weapons i just get for attributes i need good weapons for. the only ones i really like though are hammer and staff. have hammer on ranger, staff on mesmer. done with that.

Hmmm... The sad thing is that its just screwed up that its just for one char only.... since ive spread my elite armors over many chars, since i dont want one good looking one and the rest are ugly...

My main Ele char has right now:

2 Elite armors (By the end of GW ill prolly have all of them)
6 mini's (will be buying more when i feel like)
3 maxed titles

My goals are to get at least the maxed Guardian and Prot title for each continent, and maxed farming points titles and exploration/skillcapping.

But im in no rush, not enslaving myself for it...

but again HoM is screwed up....

Completing my HoM, what else...

left to do:

11 Destroyer Weapons
Several Elite Armors (Ranger) (only 1 atm on XD)
All Hero Statues (around like 13 from 25 left)
All Elite Area Statues + 30 maxed Titles including also PvP ones, especially Hero , but what will never happen is this game for me, as long grinding fame is only reduced on playing HA and thusby takes ages to reach R15 >.>, also Champion/Gladiator take for a pve player way too much time, makign it really impssible to max as PvE-Char these titles for HoM..what is really sad and absolutely fits not in the concept of GW ...

overall goeal is just making my account GW2 ready with my HoM, so that I won't miss anything of the HoM's unlocking boni's

When GW2 releases, I want to get rid of GW1, want to say good by to it, because everything should be done with it and the memories of GW1 should be the only thing, that I want to take with me to GW2 then ...

I want not to have to remind me personally then ever, that I've still do to this and that and have to grind/farm here and there still, for ages, only be receive some things, so that I can unlock some things for me for my GW2 account.
I want not to be forced to stay in GW1 for ages, just before I become with my account "GW2 ready"
The only reason, why I personally still play GW1 further, because i want to reach as much as possible, before GW2 comes out, only in hope, it will be enough, so that i won't miss anything later ...

eh I'm not sure what the hom will do but it gives bragging rights and makes me feel like I'm doing something.
Goals -

have 4 sets of armor on display, need 1 more (fow lol)
get 30 maxed titles (have 26 now)
earn all 'conqueror' statues (just need the UW one)
get at least the rest of the b-day minis, even if I can't afford any of the 'uber super elite only 5 exist in the game' ones

I have all the heroes in already, but not a single destroyer weapon. I hate em. think they're ugly. I'm hoping if I hold out long enough, they'll allow some other kind of weapon in that's not nearly that ugly.

imo, HoM=lol

In mine you can find a few random titles added first time i went there, just having 3 minutes of fun with "the new feature"
After a few clicks on those random displays, displaying emptiness, the first thing that came to my mind was "oh well, gotta go"

The clever move was to put NPCs and quests in there, just to make sure you will get back down there at least once ^^

So in total, you'd find some random titles one armor and one hero.

Like said above, i hope that wont have any real effect on GW2 and make people farm more stuff back on GW1 to get a reward on GW2 at that time.
Those having stuff in HoM should have very basic rewards, such as a special title screen, menu/interface skins, theme song or anything that wont be shiny on your character with "+10 epeening guys, i was there" written all over it

Titles on only one character(my main ranger), and just various armor sets. 9 sets of elite armor for my ritualist alone. My ranger only has 8 maxed titles, but those I only work on when I'm feeling bored.

Who says PuGGiing doesnt pay....?

Got the Deep done today so now have ALL possible monuments and got the Primeval Armor as well after giving Abaddon a bad day.... I did salvage that though cos I really object to looking like something a trawlers drags up from the Atlantic.

So 2 pets and 2 Armors and its all complete.

As it was easily The GW Disappointment of the Year 2007 I'm now completely ignoring it. Playing the game as if it never existed.
If only it was account based and rewarded PvP achievements (not counting low rank title monuments) it would deserve a second look, now it's just pathetic.

I got protector of tyria, holy lightbringer and legendary sunspear for titles. Some hero's, 2 armors, like 19 miniatures and 2 destroyer weapons. Will try for people know me just to get the phoenix since it'll look nice and big next to my warrior. However, I'm too freaking lazy to grind for all those titles.

All my effort for HoM is actually geared on GW2.

Of course, if the effort prove to be futile, at least I have something to remind me of the over two-years I played GW1.

Of course, if the HoM prove to give some benefits, then I will have a good start playing GW2 AND reminders to boot.

With months away before GW2, I think there is a lot of time to do to make HoM what I want it to be.

Anyway, since there is not much to do, HoM - and anything related to it - is the only way to go for me. No matter how many people disparage the HoM concept, HoM is good concept for it gives player one last sweep of GW1 universe before it fades.

My take.

I haven't really set specific goals for my hall; but I did decide to focus my accomplishment efforts on one of my characters instead of all just in case. My only real goal would be to reach r3 KoaBD on that character.

So far in my Hall:

13 mini's(none of which were bought)

6 Hero's

KoaBD r1 (6 title's; will have 7 tomarrow)
-r6 kurzick
-urgoz shrine

2 armor set's (if i buy bits & pieces I can finish 2 more half-sets; but no rush there)

Destroyer Axe & Shield.

I am slowly working toward a full HoM & maxed titles on my main character. Currently I'm partway on everything except no destroyer weapons yet. With my other characters I'll add to HoM as they get titles & such, but I've got no expectation of even coming close to a full HoM for any of them. (Full time job, wife, and baby = no, I don't really expect to completely max a HoM any time soon.)

I do not care at all about HoM.
I've stored some of my more treasured minipets, just in case, but that's it. The "elite" armors are nearly all fugly, I don't care about title, the "best weapons" are fugly heavy metal fantasy nightmares and no better than e.g. the more realistic Tyrian Long Sword I'm actually using, the "elite" areas don't really interest me because I'm neither a pugger nor a farmer...

...and pretty much everything except the minis in he HoM is based on mindless repetitive grind, which sucks.

If the halls had allowed storing any armor and any weapon, then I may have been more interested.

The question was:

Are you working on your Hall of Monuments? IF SO, what are your goals?

I wouldn't mind a differing opinion, but to give the impression that those working on the titles or what for HoM are just "mindless", is really out of place in thread that is asking people who are working in HoM.

It is like asking, "Are you a doctor? If yes ...." and someone replies, "No, Im a lawyer. Doctors are just horse dung, blah, blah...."

Give people a break into turning every thread into "whining" pages and shooting everything down that doesn't agree with certain formulas. But I guess it takes more skill to put minipets in HoM than titles.

Two ways to look at a glass half-filled with water: half-full or half-empty. If people spend too much time looking at the empty part, it's their time and opinion. But the thread was asking for the water.

My take.

No you don't - I never said the people grinding were mindless, I said that the GRIND is. This from someone who've just spent a couple of unhappy hours mindlessly grinding LB points at Remains of Sahlaja for the sole reason that just this weekend the amount of grinding required is halved.

I don't have time to do much title grinding anymore, so most of those are so far off for me, I'm concentrating on some of the others.

Another point to think about: On some of the other "predictions" about the HOM and how it relates to GW 2. Many people think everything in the HOM will simply be just an "unlock" for something in GW2. Whose to say the "unlock for a kuuna will be that much better then the one for a whiptail? Maybe a "Legendary Vanquisher" won't be any better then a "Life of the Party" title. Albeit, it doesn't seem fair that way, but all these "Gods walking amongst mere mortals" might get shafted anyways for all the time they've put into their titles.

In short I'm personally just going for armors, destroyer weapons (a bit), minis and getting all my heros put into the HOM. Not being able to trade as much - or play as much anymore, just makes sense for where I'm at - and probably makes sense for most other casual GW'ers as well if they want to invest in the future for GW2.

My paragon is my main character and she has a full HoM as such. In her case that is 17 heroes (going for 25), 20 mini's, 11 max titles (going for 15), 11 destroyer weapons and 5 elite armours including FoW.

I have 11 more characters, 10 of which have all 3 protector titles, 2 have KoaBD and I have a grand total of 31 or 32 elite armours between them. I suspect between my 12 characters I might end up with 5 for each but as far as titles I am about done.

I'll probably go for the light beacon and then take it easy.

Honor: Many titles to go.
Companionship: Only the Spider left to have it filled.
Resilience: I have only one armor. Without a way to store more armor, I'll probably leave this to the end.
Devotion: One miniature left to 20.
Valor: Since only certain weapons are allowed, I'll probably go for this after the Resilience one.

Eh, all I have to do is get the last 8 destroyer weapons and the last 4 titles for GWAMM. Then a few more pvp statues, then I guess if I get bored I can put more armors and minis in there. Eh, it's something to do. Finally got the statues for all the elite areas, and my fow armor to finish off the armor monument.

Only working on one hall for my main (well had other characters but simply don't have the time to be bothered grinding all of them) and have filled all monuments except for the destroyer one. Where there's one lone shield. And I need a few more titles to hit 10 and get my rainbow phoenix and I'll probably stop there.
