Dev Update: Hall of Monuments Changes

wanting the becaon account based because of having 30 titles is apain is like wanting the titles to all be account based. It really doesn't make much difference anyway, you can play on all your characters if you want to collect everything yet still focus on one if you want GWAMM, if your worried about what impact this has on gw2 well theyve already sed taht all new gw2 cahracters will get the same benefits. I wouldn't worry about getting GWAMM twice inless you were doing it for fun.

yeh to be honest this update isn't going to effect everyone as you still gotta do the stuff on your character (well you don't have to its your choice), if implimented at the moment it wouldn't make much difference to my main as everything he has everyone else already does although it helps the other charfacters. There is just a the surivver statue ive always wanted on my monk so atleast he can benefit from this. Ive decided some armors look ugly on him and i want nice armors for all my characters - so this is where the update comes in handy.
If you plan on filling the weapons monuments then an advantage of the update means you can give the weapon to the character that would use it, theres no point buying the destroyer weapons on my monk when there is no reason why he would need them (although i use bow, shield and thinking of spear).

We pretty much know almost everything about how it will work.

If one character puts an armor set or weapon into the HoM, and you log into another character and visit the HoM, the statue will still be there. This doesn't magically give the other character the ability to use that weapon or armor, just that the statue remains.

5 characters with 1 *different* elite armor set each = 1 character with 5 *different* elite armor sets = 1 full monument.

The same goes for titles (and any other monument for that matter); if one character puts up a statue for, say, the Wisdom title, and you log into another character, the statue for the Wisdom title is still there. This second character doesn't magically get to display the title, it just see's the statue.

If one character has r3 KoaBD, the backdrop will reflect r3 KoaBD status. If two character each have r1 KoaBD, with completely different titles, the backdrop will reflect r1 KoaBD status. Character-only titles won't become merged, unless Anet decides to do so, which have they have made no statement about yet.

Of course, you can choose to keep the HoM character based, so each character can then display their own accomplishments separately.

hmmmm can anet make it so that accounts wit the colelctor's edition get something? like carrying over the emotes/glowing hands to gw2?

I certainly hope you're right. Can you point me to anything official that actually states this? Before I buy armor and customize destoryer/tormented weapons I want to have heard it from an authoritative source.

I don't think there as been any more detailed official word on the exact workings, however what has been stated is the logical assumption.

I don't think there's any way the information we have been given can remain true and this not to be correct, it is sort of a minimum possible result. Which leads me to think that if the actual changes are different from this, it would only improve the situation, therefore I would see no issue with buying those weapons/armours.

Unless of course what you were looking for was the information that ought still to be in the first post of this thread.

The problem is, I don't see how we know almost everything about how it will work. Most of what you've described in your post is how I also *think* it might work, but as far as I'm aware, Anet hasn't spelt out what you've suggested so it's also guessing on both our parts (if you know otherwise, do please tell; I've read both the Developer Updates and am no wiser).

The second part of that quote is exactly what I'm on about - I don't know what's actually happening unless Anet decide to make a statement about it, which at the moment aside from a vague reference to "account" achievements, they haven't.

Nopers. r5 for the beacon directly, r4 if you have a full HoM and a human guest.

Did you just get back a whole chunk of your future?

lol probably but still going for gawmm just because , but not as in a mad pace tho.

I never heared of any plans in this direction, but it's not a bad idea at all.

(*Hyper has Factions and Nightfall CE)

I would also like that in place, as a holder of proph + factions ce , i have nightfall box that i got off ebay which had no key in it.

i would also hope that they undedicated all minipets, as do not wish to buy + then add them all again =/

I don't think that's a good idea. This is a new game, buying the new CE should unlock things like that. It'd be kind of ridiculous to get exclusive content like that, which new players can't get just because they don't known an older game.

This is supposed to be a fresh start, and I know many people who are interested in getting into GW2 who would be turned off by missing things like that.

I am quite sure people would still buy GW2 regardless if there are people there with glowing hands taken from gw1 or not. These things do not give any in game advantage. I would even say that constant showing off stuff like that can even reduce the possibility of getting a decent party. Same as dancing naked in front of a party leader.
