Now we just need Titan(Prophecies) and Shiro'ken(Factions) weapons to make things square and have each campaign own their unique 'most expensive' weapon set.

Great now, not only will I have to get all the destroyer weps in my HoM, but now all the torment weps. Seeing that if NF contributes torment weps, and Proph can contribute deldrimor weps, Factions doesnt have anything similar.

Dude do you pay much attention at all to this board and others? People have been calling for more weapons to be put into the HOM. There's all kinds of bitching and moaning going on about only "ugly ass destroyer weapons" being available to be put into the HOM. When the HOM was introduced and it was stated that only Destroyer weapons would be put in, rather than true (at the time) prestige weapons like SPECIFICALLY tormented weapons or greens, people bitched. Now that Anet does it, you say they go against their word and it hurts their image? IMO, it helps their image because it shows me that they listen to their playerbase and they spend the time and money to add in code that may not even contribute to increased sales of GW2.

My theory on this is more rational: Having a full set of Destroyer weapons gives you something destroyer-related in GW2. Now, they decided to add onto that a little bit and give something for a full set of Tormented weapons. Maybe later they'll have something for Deldrimor weapons in GW2, and those will be added to the HOM. Either way, it's added content of some sort and it was quite likely due to demand from the majority of the vocal playerbase on these boards.

AAAAAAAGH!!! And I just gave away just about a full set of gemstones!!!

Gees, people... make up your mind already, would ya?!?! Also, why isn't this posted somewhere on the GW website ... or at least somewhere more prominent?

What's happened to Anet lately? It seems like they either give you no information (GW2) or what info they do give, they'll drastically change later (HoM, PvPvE skills, etc). Sure, they're probably trying to make customers happy, but they're only losing my confidence in them.

That'd be nice I suppose. ANet would have to add a crafter to the Divine Path though, or something. Otherwise it would be kind of difficult to get all of the weapons (unless you just buy them all). Furthermore, there is no zodiac offhand (lol celestial compass), spear, scythe, or short/flat/recurve/hornbow either.

adding rewards for an item involved in two of the most public exploits and bannings. GG anets, great job in finding way to further mess up the economy.

Oh and to anyone who think that ambrace price will go up again:

this won't happen.

People won't pay more than now to get torm weps, especially considering the fact that who wants to get them for the HoM will probably just farm the stones in DoA.

I /sign for those weapons. Especially the Titan weapon set if they make the skins act like the look of the titans *changes appearance based on location*.

I still don't know why people keep thinking that the HOM is going to add anything significant in GW2. Anet already said that they wouldn't penalize someone for not playing GW1 by giving players an unfair advantage for filling up their HOMs. You wait and see, you probably will get something (that is customized so you can't sell it to make a profit) like the bmp items. Not worth all the work imo. I just like to play the game instead of having to work on filling up my HOM.

Really, if you know of anyone that got away w/ duped items in guildwars TELL ANET! Besides, if they dedicate them to the HoM, how would it mess up the economy...?

If anything it would get alot of the trash tormented weps OUT of the economy.

Hmm I only have one tormented weapon(tormented shield)... should i sell then see if i can buy back for cheaper once it goes down...? Or maybe the rarity will go up even more because of the scarce tormented items out there and lack of farming!? :O this may cause another gold sinkhole!

Also on a side note we will see the death of the destroyer weapon economy XD tormented>>>>>destroyer

Every time I get my hopes up that Anet will do something smart they go and blow it....

This could have been done much better. A 3 row system keeping the destroyer weapons and adding 1 row for max greens and 1 row for max golds would have been the one clear method of keeping everyone happy.

Now anyone that doesn't own Nightfall or have 100K+ per weapon to toss around is out of luck. Now I am not saying that Tormented shouldn't be in the HoM, just that they are not the only golds that should be permited.

Hence the recent buff to Shadow Form, all you have to do is make a sin, learn the perma SF build & youre rich, which could also be a sales strategy to get more people to buy Factions.

No, because then you'd have people bitching about how they filled their HOM with these expensive things and some schmoe can just put in any old gold or lesser weapon they choose and get their reward in GW2 just the same.

There are 12 Tormented Weapon skins: Longbow/Flatbow/Hornbow and Recurve Bow/Shortbow have different skins.

Will we get 12 pedestals now?

The destroyer bows share one model. The Tormented Bows have two different models for longbow/flatbow/hornbow and recurve/shortbow.

I do not think they will add one more pedestal for this. Why?

They could add 12 more racks for the Tormented Weapons, they are different to the Destroyer Weapons, after all.

But I guess people would not like it.

I would personally like to be able to see Gold Items placed in there in general. For example I have Stygian Reavers, Legendary Swords etc on my warrior. I don't mind the fact Tormented Weapons and Destroyer weapons are put there, but I'm really wondering why they are limiting weapon skins. Will these weapons be max damage in Gw2?

A lot of people complain about that, but you also have to consider that tormented and destroyer weps are "craftable," which makes me wonder why deldrimor didn't make the cut. But as for regular old weps, the reason they won't be in HoM is because not all stygian reavers are req. 9 and not all legendary swords are req. 9 as well. This is unlike the craftable weps, which are all req. 9 and not rare, just expensive.

Look in the high end market, there are a number of people who traded rare items/mini pets for stacks of armbraces each from dupers. They got their account banned in the first string of bans, but they were unbanned with the claim that because the item were so rare, it was worth the price. Now a year ago, was a mini panda worth 1750 armbraces honestly? And that was when armbraces were 60e each.
The duped items survived, not the dupers. now armbraces are worth something again for a benefit in gw2, do you think the price will not go up?

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

I'm pleased they're doing this but I do have a gripe.

Suppose your main character is a Ritualist, you then feel compelled to buy the Sword/Axe/Scythe/Shield, and so on, which people probably don't want and there's a storage limitation.

I bought Tormented Items and Destroyer stuff for characters which I believe suit them and look decent.

I don't want all of these Tormented/Destroyer weapons on my main and I have already pimped my heroes. Should I buy, customize then trash the items?

It seems kinda wasteful and expensive for an unknown 'reward' in GWII. Talk about being left in the dark.

I dont know why you even want to put them in HoM...we dont even know how will be with those items in gw2. Just put them in storage and when we will have more informations just put them in HoM if you will see that is worth.

Customization is not a problem. If it is a staff on a Warrior, you will probably never use it. However, you should have at least 1 hero who can make use of it.

Although I am not a fan of the Destroyer Weapons, they were nice as the ONLY option because not all people who own GW:EN own all the other games. Since Destroyer Weapons only require you to own GW:EN, it was fair that everyone who had access to the HoM had a weapon to add. Now that Tormented Weapons will be added, the people who don't own Nightfall will be left out. Worse, it leaves the people who own Prophecies and Factions out of the ability to add a skin they may like.

Deldrimor isn't what I would expect, as Tormented Weapons are not the same as the end game greens/craftibles. There currently is no comparison to Tormented Weapons in Prophecies and Factions. Unless they were to add some kind of elite area crafter (Deep/Urgoz and Tombs maybe) with a unique weapon, this is bad for the game.

Hopefully, ANet will allow all End-game/Elite area Greens (only greens that I think should exist) and Golds, of course, the golds would have to be exclusive to the Elite areas, so Voltaic Spear, would not make it in.

Still waiting on that Deldrimor Golds update for HoM...

Quite the dilemma I have...
Well what I think about this is the following scenario in GW2:

Some random angry forum user: "QQ A.Net! So I filled my hall with 11 tormented weapons and spent a bazillion gold for them and this noob over there, which has only 11 destroyer weapons, gets the same reward as me? I demand that my weapons are as twice as large!"

[conspiration theory]Thats A.Net's twisted way to remove all those duped armbraces they couldn't remove in any other way [/conspiration theory]

Anyway this is a nice change, although a bit too late. Doesn't bother me much as they are unaffordable for me and I already have 11 destroyer weapons in my hall.

And when Anet finnaly anouces that all our weapons in the HoM will grant us is a title - collector or antiques....will people be happy they added the torment weapons only or will they uninstall/burn disks??

The HoM has been FAIL on so many levels that I have just about given up any hope of getting anything of substance for it in GW2.

I'd just like to post a friendly thought to all of you who say "I cant afford tormented weapons" Anyone, I mean ANYONE with Lutgardis Conservatory and 3 retarded heros can earn enough cash to get a tormented weapon in a matter of days. I'm very relieved that Anet is allowing this in the HOM.

Good to see this, but I still don't like the customization.

If torm. weapons can be added, some other expensive gold should be able to add too~And if some gold can be added, other gold............this will go never ended.

I think the best of the weapon HOM part is neither torm nor destroyers; I think GREEN weapons should add to that. There are green weapons in 3+1 chapters!!

I agree. You can get, on average, 6k an hour. Now I gotta figured out if I want toget cahs for Tormented Weapons or max out my Max Title Track to 6... Decisions, decisions...
