I say no, why? because you need a full set to put things up, and that does not include head armor. Gloves are not a full set, neither are just head armors.

That's exactly the thing he wants to change, so it's not a valid counter-argument.

A: We should make the speed limit on the highway here 60 instead of 30.

B: That's a bad idea, because the speed limit on the highway is 30.

A: ...

His argument isn't that we should be able to put up "full sets" of eotn glove and helmet armor but that there should be a special display for "just" those parts out of a set. I don't own any of those pieces, but I'm inclined to agree. Some of them are very pricey, even beyond the cost of some "full" sets, and I'd want to display mine if I had some.

Maybe a compromise would be to allow you to substitute parts out of a full set with the special gloves or helmet instead - so you could show off your set of elite kurzick assassin armor, but instead of it's own gloves and mask, you have it put in your destroyer gauntlets and mo zing mask...

Keep in mind the HoM's purpose. Putting in all these things means that GW2 will have to give them a purpose, and I don't think that's currently in the design model, which is probably why we don't see them now.

However, if Arenanet could work it in, I have no problem with it.

If this means we need to buy a load of gloves to complete the HoM then /notsigned.

The HoM is designed not only to show off your accomplishments, but to give benefits for when GW2 comes out. That's the reason only elite SETS are used. They are evidence you went through enough of the game to earn a prestige item(yeah, I know. some got run to Marhan's Grotto/FoW.) It fits into the story line. Chaos gloves, a pirate's bandana, shades, and a ninja hood(looks like a t-shirt n1nj4) don't fit anywhere in that line.

/signed if it's for display purposes only... not everything in there needs to count toward anything, and if it's possible to display things without them counting
I'm all for it.

Yeah, and wouldn't it be nice if we knew what that purpose even was? I bet ANet doesn't know yet, either. :P

Agreed with Randvek. A.net hasn't locked themselves into a corner about what the item will do in GW2... so its not like this couldn't be added.
Honestly, the HoM is full of fail anyways. Any little improvement in how stuff is organized/displayed and what can be put in there is good.

While this idea is not ridiculous, it is silly.

If you get a display for your gloves, next thing you know, someone will want one for his pants!

Its still in the game and has to be earned. If you spent a ton of time getting destroyer cores to earn armor or materials and money, whats the difference. You still logged the game time, you still did the work. Well except for the lamers that bought materials or collector stuff. And is not required to display, its requested.

/signed and I dont even have any of it other than the holiday hats.

I love some of the arguements against this. "I dont want to farm anymore cores etc" what about those who already have?

don't care, it wasn't part of it from the beginning.

This is no different from those that want to be rewarded with a partly filled hall or someone wanting a full reward by only placing one item in each.

We were told what was needed, some of us have went after it, some bitched and moaned and called it stupid, some want to change it to what they want it to be, that is why I don't want to farm for cores, or challices, or ........

A HoM wasnt part of it. I had 15k armor for my sin, it was ugly so I trashed it. for runes and material. If we had HoM I might have saved it for the pretty little statue. But I didnt. Am I bitching and moaning. No. I dont care. But, for the people logging the hours for cores,chalices etc it took a good bit of gameplay to get it. maybe instead of statues with just gloves, have a set of them laying on the ground or for helms just a little head. cause everyone loves a little head.

I don't think it's been confirmed anywhere that you need a 'full' hall to get anything out of gw2, a full hall would be near impossible because you'd need all the titles, all the mini's all the armor sets for your class ect.

As I understand it from reading the articles the HoM will let you hold a name and carry stuff over to gw2, seems like they ought to let you carry over some of the stuff like dragon gauntlets, mask of the mo zing, and the other 'prestige' common armors.

I don't see how getting prestige armor fits into the story line. Not once did I see a cinematic that depicted these events. Never did I read about how the hero tirelessly gathered materials for any one armor set. They have as much to do with the story line as having someone run you to Droknar's Forge.

I don't have every elite set of armor, nor do I care to attain it. People arguing that this shouldn't be added to the HoM because they don't want to grind for these extra bits are silly. If you don't want them, don't get them. I'm all for having those extra displays for helms and gloves even though I won't be farming for a Mo Zing mask, 'cause, quite frankly, that is one of the ugliest head pieces I've seen in the game.
