We are releasing the previously announced changes to the Hall of Monuments in two stages. The first stage lets players enjoy adding their accumulated Tormented Weapons to the Monument to Valor [sic] sooner than otherwise. Support for this first stage is expected to release in October's scheduled content update. At this time, there is no expected release date on the remaining account-wide changes to the Hall of Monuments.

Note that it is EXPECTED. While it will hopefully be included, there still is a chance that it won't be.

So this month we get Tormented weapons and probably January or so we get the account-wide?

Maybe it's just me but I care far more about everything else than the Tormented weapons, that's more of an afterthought. Ah well, at least it's proof they're working on it. Keep it up Anet.

nah, you're not the only one, i'm here too

anyway, why would i have to be excited because i can add some new weps to HoM? Don't like most of tormented skins anyway and it adds nothing to gameplay, seriusly this is something that should be an option for HoM when it was 1st released and no "highly expected update".

Anyway, i hope i'll get my points

lol.

But it's nice they're finally doing something with it.
(Although, I'd love it and would probably bother with that monument if I could add my personal favorite weapons - be they green, gold, or whatnot. That would be the best thing imo. But that's for another thread.

I think I will wait before I add any tormented weapons into my HoM until the rest of the changes have taken place so I know how the combined "account HoM" will actually work.

Id think the problem with fav weapons shadowhaze, is something to do with HoM being available to be seen in GW2 - all those extra skins to add etc...

The important thing though RPs next week!

Well that got my hopes up O_o. Thought it had been confirmed that they were gonna be implemented next week.

It's been expected. Are they going to meet the expectation? Maybe. If they are, cool. If not, doesn't really matter much to me. I got one destroyer weapon and one tormented, I really don't plan on getting more.

Title grind changes are more promising, more important, and more useful than putting super-expensive items into my HoM.

Funny how many people were raving mad that Tormented weapons could at least be included in HoM with Destroyers... and now that they are, no one has anything good to say about it.

There were a number of factors involved in the decision. Only full weapon cycles were considered which rules out a huge number of options. Of what was left, it was important that the weapons that are put into the HoM were valuable enough to warrant the prestige which rules out a whole lot more. IF the Zodiac set was a full set then it could be considered for inclusion, however getting Zodiac weapons isn't that hard, it's getting ones that are perfect that is the difficult part. Adding things to the HoM at this point is tricky technically because of the way the data needs to be stored and how it transfers to GW2. - Image:User Linsey Murdock sig.jpgLinsey talk 21:59, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

: from dictionary.com "prestige: reputation or influence arising from success, achievement, rank, or other favorable attributes." It's not a stretch that prestige in games would be equated with rarity which in most games comes hand in hand with expense. The reason we can't use generic green weapons is because there are hundreds of them. - Image:User Linsey Murdock sig.jpgLinsey talk 22:41, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

That pretty much sums up why regular greens and whatnot are not used in the HoM. They can be, but then the idea of "prestige weapons" would be shattered.

Back on topic: As said, it's expected, but it probably will be added. But it doesn't matter, as very few people (apparently now) don't care about tormented.... I wonder what changed their minds. Anyways, I like the new update for the Valor, but it doesn't affect me (and yes, I was one of those who did, and still does, want the Tormented weapon in the HoM update).

well maybe it's because DOA isn't as accessible anymore >.>

OP: Nice attempt to drive up the price of all the braces/tormented weapons you've been snatching up, but it won't work. You can thank the VS farm for that. Now everyone and his pet monkey can fill the Valor monument with stuff they've already got in their box from farming! (Yay, another 2 Onyx drop. Woo!)

This is about the only way that you'd see an increase in Tormented prices. I sincerely hope ANet isn't that cruel.

If that happens, I may personally send about 100 emails to support and start 20 daily QQ threads. Just so they add more weapons. Because at that point, I won't care if starter weapons get added.

Its honestly hard to say since we don't know what will actually be implemented. You can read about it here yourself and take what you will from it.

IMO HoM should go account wide. I haven't used any of my other 8 chars, just because I have been grinding with my ele to build up my HoM...(then I realize, why am I getting titles...oh yeah, becuase of the unknown reason why HoM is related to GW2...boy am I dumb).

i couldn't care less about tormented items tbh, im sure there are people rich enough to fill their HoM with full tormented items, but im not and i know a lot of people arent, the account HoM thing would've been much more important, but w/e its something new at least.

It will be funny to see all the cries about the Tormented Weapons in GW2. The funniest will be all the one’s of why it’s customized, thus squashing all those who thought they would profit in gw2 for selling it.

Woot! Finally! I bought a Tormented bow just for that, and was so mad when they wouldn't let us add them yet. I did finally get a Destroyer bow, but I like the Tormented skin better.

I'm also looking forward to the account-wide update, but I'm definately happy with the Tormented weapons too. I just hope that this "expected" update does happen when it says.

Same here. They sould have done the updates the other way around. I'm willing to bet that once Tormented weapons can be added, some people will add them on ONE character's HoM, just to fill the shrine, not knowing the HoM will be account-wide later on, and then when the second HoM update goes live, they'll start QQ-ing about the fact that they now have 10 useless customized weapons and 1 (or 2) they can use, while they could have customized their weapons for each character they have.

But hey, at least they're working on the HoM. I also hope I get my prediction points friday.

oh and BMP weapon skins are SO nice, especially the Tengu ones, but alas, not really "prestige". I'd love to add all of those ^^
