Working on it for my ranger for all the things except destroyer weapons. I only put one armor in for her as I don't really like female ranger armor that much. I liked the tyrian collectors armor more than most of the elite armors.

For the rest of my characters I'm just putting at least one armor in there. For a couple of them I also put pets in.

Not really concentrating on it though. Just working on things here and there.

My HoM has ...

20 minis ... check (have more in storage, though)
25 heroes ... check
3 legendary pets ... check
9 hero/conqueror statues ... check
28 maxed title statues ... check (still working on others, though)
5 prestige armor sets ... check (don't think that adding more will provide any additional benefits)
11 destroyer weapons ... check (one of each skin)

Not much left to do.

I sure am! Some other people may feel that it's a waste and that we're pathetic for grinding titles, but hell! I don't care what they think I'm doing it for fun. Currently I'm working on Elonian Vanquisher, then I'll do Canthan and THEN Tyrian because honestly... Killing off 54 areas is a bit much to me right now. Besides for me vanquishing Elona is a triple wammy since I'll get SS/LB points while clearing an area.

After that I'll probably just continue adding various things such as heroes/mini pets/weapons ect.

Fellowship Monument: I got an "animal companion" thingie - was very disappointed. Have no plans to do anything else with it. (In the far, far future, go after the Black Widow, Imp. Phoenix, & Black Moa - but only for S & G.)

Devotion: I have 2 minis on it, may add the others I've got collecting dust later. I don't really care.

Honor: I'm doing nothing here for the sake of the HoM. I'm working on titles for the challenge of achieving them. I also hope to get some more elite missions done, but solely for the challenge of doing them.

Valor: I may get a staff, but only because my main Character's a Mesmer. IMHO, destroyer weapons are butt-ugly and only good for selling to others.

Resilience: I will not waste money on buying additional elite armor so I can stick it in the HoM and then have it clog up my inventory. (or just salvage it again)

I won't be doing anything at all for HoM with my other characters.

The number of people claiming to not care about the HoM and how it's a waste of time makes me chuckle. It's fairly logical that we will only receive vanity items for our troubles, but the number of people who refused to fill the HoM in, and then demand the freebies, whining and complaining all the while, I bet, will be huge.

We all know it will happen. It's the Internet.

As for me, I'm trying to just max out the monument on one character, by "max out" I mean 5 titles, 5 armours, 5 heroes, 20 minis and 11 destroyer weapons. I currently only need 7 more minis and 8 more weapons. I wont ever go for God Walking Among Mere Mortals, but R4 would be nice sometime, and I'm not too far off that.

Well it *is* a waste of time, but I do care, so I'm filling one anyway. I expect to be irritated with whatever ANet do with this really bad idea, but I expect to be more irritated without one, than with, so that in mind:

Honor: 3 Campaign completion statues + Sunspear & Lightbringer (thankyou 2x weekend). My general aim with all monuments is just to fill the display, but I'm not sure that will be enough here, so I plan to upgrade it with at least KoaBD 1 (probably by going for Protector x3).

Resilience: 4 elite armours (I don't mind buying these, but would have stopped at 3 for storage reasons). I'll added another much later on.

Fellowship: No real interest in this at all, so I used it for a small tribute to sabway - 3 Necros flanked by the animal companion and moa statues. I will add a few more heroes and I've got a Phoenix levelled and ready, but I'm not adding everyone - I just can't stand most of the challenge missions

Devotion: I plan on adding the first year birthday set, followed by some "individual" pets, until I reach 20. Currently I've only added 2, because I'm adding them in order and there's a few holes in my bday collection (anal, I know).

Valor: Ughh... I was calling these weapons destroyer turds based on the Wiki pictures, but now I have 3 and really, they're *far* worse when you see them up-close. Horrid design. I will have to know more about the GW2 reward system, before I waste any more plat on these.

Guess I'll update mine.

Fellowship: Got everything.

Devotion: 21 mini pets at the moment, but I'm really not motivated to add anymore.

Honor: Got 20 maxed titles at the moment, and I'm working on FoW, UW, DoA, remaining hard mode titles as well as a few others, but I'm really not motivated to do them. I got to say, I haven't really played these campaigns until getting all these PvE titles of the corresponding campaign such as cartographer, vanquisher, protect and guardian. FoW and UW, so far, are painful; I always get ditchers in my groups, and the one time everyone stayed in FoW, that mage didn't spawn.

Valor: Got everything.

Resilence: Got everything.

In all honesty, I planned to stop when I get to rank 4 of KoBD, but once you get to this point, the possibility of having that 6th tier of the title is just tempting. However, at the same time, I lost my motivation. So I guess I am sort of finished with Hall of Monuments, but I am still working on tasks here and there.

Of course, with the addition of the Hall of Monuments, it seems that it is best to focus on one character. Nonetheless, there are many people are working on multiple characters for their Halls of Monuments; I got to say, it's truly amazing.

I figure on getting the 5 statues to fill Fellowship on most of the characters I play often.

After that, I'm trying to get 20 pets on 1 or 2 characters, mostly by offering to buy unwanted pets for <5k. I've almost got one full between this and using my own presents.

I'll be surprised if I get more than 5 maxed titles on any character, although I'm almost finished vanquishing Elona (9 to go) on my Ele, which also has me close to the cartographer (91.6) and Sunspear titles (40k+).

My Ranger is my consumable character, so she's working on party/sugar titles (no drunkard for me). I also plan on Vanquishing Cantha with her after my ele's done with Elona.

After that, I may go for some protector titles. And I've been opening chests while vanquishing, but I'll never open enough to max those titles, and it's a LONG way to max Lucky/Unlucky.

The bright side is that if GW 2 turns out to be a major grindfest requiring 24x7 farming (quite likely) you can always sell your account with full HOM on ebay.

Too lazy to go to my HoM ATM, so here's an estimate on what I have...

Fellowship: 1 or 2 pets (flamingo? but my rainbow phoenix is there for sure)

Devotion: 20 or so minis in there, still wondering if I'm gonna dedicate my mini Naga or not.

Honor: 21 maxed titles, all elite missions cleared - aiming for GAMM

Resilience: 9 elite sets (including FoW)

Valor: Don't plan on getting any destroyer weapons, so.... nothing in there, and nothing till we can add our fav weapons.

This HoM thing actually gives me something to play for until GW2

All of my favorite characters are working on something to do with HoM however maxing it out isn't likely - maybe one will

I wish I could put weapons other than destroyer weapons in

I do plan on saving as many of my names as possible for GW2

As far as I can remember, I have the following:

Devotion: 20 minipets - now looking to sell the less cool dedicated ones, I went on a buying binge to get any I didn't have, now I want to get rid of quite a few of them.

Fellowship: Got quite a lot of these, no pets though. Currently grinding Glint's Challenge to get hero armour and monies.

Resilience: Got 2 up here, Asuran and one of the Granite Citadel sets, will fill it up with whatever armour's the cheapest and least naff looking, then all resources can be sold to buy the contents of the monument below...

Valor: Just the one staff for my main Necro atm, but will be filling it once I have 3 more sets of armour, will be given to NF heroes that are required for missions in Hard Mode, the rest on other heroes just to get them out the way.

Honour: Off the top of my head I have 8 titles maxed: all elites capped, Proph and Factions finished with bonus/masters, Factions 100% explored and Sunspear Rank.

Currently working on exploring Elona, then grinding Lightbringer and Asuran rep, both of which are relatively close to completion. After that it's the other EOTN rep titles, kurzick points (with zaishen keys a-plenty), might do UW and FoW for the statues, finish NF masters then on to vanquishing and HM.

So there's a fair bit to keep me going.

Honour: 20+ maxed titles and ALL pvp titles. (close to champ 3 and so far 4/20 maxed titles)

I'd like to fill my whole HoM, just to see what each accomplishment gets me in GW2. I am fully aware of this official statement from here:

Quote:
So what stuff do I actually get in GW2 from putting things in the Hall of Monuments?

There isn't any word on this. Anything you get from OGW won't give you an permanent advantage over new GW2 players. Basically, expect cosmetic stuff with stats that new GW2 players will be able to achieve by playing GW2.
So I know it won't be anything amazing. But I still want to see what each gift is. Besides, having such an expensive goal keeps me busy in GW1.

So far I have:

-more title statues than I need (although it's hard to find a pleasing arrangement that includes Legendary Guardian and Legendary Skill Hunter)

-all non-human hero statues, plus Gwen, Generic Pet, Phoenix and Black Moa

-4 elite armors (Vabbian, Labyrinth, Norn, Luxon, and working on Primeval)

-10 minis, none of them high-end. The final 10 won't be high-end either, unless my monk gets a Djinn for her second birthday.

-1 destroyer weapon (a spear) - I might not finish this one, as the idea of saving up ~500k and spending it all on weapons I find hideous and won't use is very depressing.

Fellowship: ^Same with Resil^
Valor: I don't like Destroyer skins much. And a customized staff on a ranger when I don't trap?
Honour: HM Titles to be done soon! Then Carto's.

It just seems like such a hopeless cause. :-\ All those titles, minis, weapons, armor sets.

I'm especially bummed about the armor because I tend to prefer mixes over straight sets. Only two of my characters are wearing any kind of full 15k stuff. :P

I'm not a big fan of grind, either, so I doubt I'll worry much about the HoM. I'll just add what I get and not worry about the elites. :P

Since the Hall of monuments came out I have put a lot of my Guild Wars time into filling it out. Here is a pic of my Monuments. As you can see I have EVERY set of Elite armor for Elemetalists. Out of the 5 Monuments in the HOM, 3 of mine (Fellowship, Valor, Resilience) have everything you can possibly put into them. There is nothing else possible (so far) to put into those 3 monuments. One of the monuments that still needs work is the minipet one (Devotion). I am only missing 5 minipets for COMPLETE COLLECTION of them all.
The ONLY Mini pets I am missing:Kanaxai, Panda, Island Guardian, Ghostly & Polar Bear.

As you can see I put a ton of time into my HOM........Oh yeah I have 30 max titles also.

20 max titles.
5 armor sets
20 cheap minis
All heroes with armor once I can be bothered to farm them ._. And lvl20 rainbow phoenix.
No destroyer weapons because they're all ugly and a waste of money
I still need to complete DoA, Urgoz and Deep. But how do I get into a urgoz or deep group as a derv? /sigh

30 titles + Fully loaded HoM. will it give us wings + GOD mode ? I am sure we will only have things that WONT give us any lead on other non max titles players like minis etc.

We will see in time if the grinding was worth it but in any ways...doing 30 titles will get you to be a better player over all.

That's one of the things I love about GW. I have Protector for Cantha and Kryta, working on Protector for Elona, and am also going for Guardian. Not because I must have those titles, but because I like playing the missions. I like the accomplishment of getting a good group together and beating the snot out of some insanely hard missions. (or sometimes getting the snot beat out of me! )

My focus is just one character.

I'm currently working on titles, armor sets, and hero unlocks.
Mini's are what ever I can get a hold of reasonably.

Destroyer weapons are on the least of my worries atm.

Boring...too much boring repetitive work...asking for a "fun" non-repetitive title is too much to ask. 5 sets of Elite armor..yeha right...minipets which are usually worth millions..too pointless...weapons for heros way to expensive to show off....I'm quiting with Eternal Skillz+Eternal Survivor..maybe later I'll play again...for now I'm palying somethign else.

To answer the OP: no. It's just not healthy for me to be that obsessed.

I filled "Honor" with a few of my characters through natural playing. That one's pretty easy and the most satisfying - it's a shame there isn't more space, my main has a truck load of things to put on show.

I filled "Fellowship" on my main at least, can't remember how full the others are... I like this monument though, my heroes have done me well.

I partially filled "Resilience" on many of my characters. I tend to have 2-3 suits for each one. I'm not bothered about filling this monument, I have the sets I want.

"Devotion" is pretty lame. I've pooled all my miniatures onto 1 character, but even so, 20 slots? Um... no, not even with the promotional miniatures I have. Having to trade really screws a lot of people out of filling this one. Needless to say, characters other than my main have bare monuments.

"Valor" is the worst monument though. My characters have their own weapons, many of which are gold but I can't display any of them. I totally refuse to buy any Destroyer weapons because they look awful. This monument will be empty for all my characters, forever.

Overall I like the idea of the Hall, but I'd cut Devotion and Valor out of mine to make more space for Honor trophies.

Oh I got as far as People Know Me for the shiny armor statue at the back of the hall, that's nice. That's all I'm doing though, and it's just from setting my own goals - legendary cartographer (worth 4) because I like exploring, 2 skill hunters (tyria and cantha, cba with elona), all 3 protectors and legendary spearmarshal. Now I just potter around doing very random stuff for no reward other than fun.

Oh yeah, I have to finish GWEN sometime too. For some reason I keep putting it off. Doh.
