Nah I don't see price changes happening. I'm sure that people, including me, who wanted GW2 goodies have filled their HoM's alrdy or are still doing so. I don't see all these people who don't care for it making a run on the HoM items now.

Also with the info that a purple first year will most likely give you the same points as a purple asain mini, then i highly doubt you will be getting mini's skyrocketting in price

from what I gathered when the HoM was first introduced was more like what they are saying....A FULL monument---doesnt matter if its all white minis or all the uber rare only the exceptional rich can afford = the same amount of 'points'. Makes the most sense.
Just make sure to have the 20 minis, 5 armors et. al. and you will be fine (now the gwamm, that one I dont know about).
so finish it up with whatever-----

Jesh people are acting like the point system is spending and not when you reach a certain number it unlocks set rewards and the highest reward may require the points from limited edition mini pets.

They new only releasing a few kanaxai's would make them one of the most valuable items in the game. Just like although I consider the cele mini's to be common. They are worth more then many regular mini's because they can't be obtained outside of trading.

What's the deal with GWAMM anyway? You can't display it and it's bound to a character and not your account.
Let's say I get a hold of 30 titles on a char, display them, and then for some bizare reason delete my char.
All my titles will still be displayed and unlocked so give me points in the new point system. It doesn't matter if I have GWAMM or not, it's just for the shiny statue.
Besides, as a side note, lots of titles can be displayed without being maxed: lucky, unlucky, kurzick, zaishen ect.
They are displayed, so unlocked and it doesn't matter if they are max or not.

Also a full hall of monuments equates to a rank of that track because it to brings the statue out by one notch so to speak.

For the simple reason that there is no way for GW2 to detect you have GWAMM, cause you can't display it.
That big statue is, such as GWAMM, character based and not account wide.
Besides it sounds fair that someone who has 15 titles on 2 different characters displayed should get the same things as someone with all 30 titles on 1 character.
Ah well we shall know soon enough

I thought I came across a quote some time in the past were an Anet guy said that when you were badass in GW1 you will be badass again when you leave your GW2 HoM, so definitly something to look forward to!
A guide will come very soon.. Could still be like a month, by Anet's definition of time
Nevetherless, I won't lose sight of the GW2 mainpage and twitter this week

I wonder what the mechanism is for linking your GW1 account to GW2. I hope it doesn't turn into a total shitstorm like when we redeemed the bonus storage pain. I have no clue what my Anet login is anymore.

Maybe they will give me a reason to finish GWAMM.
This.
They will most likely give you these points just for filling each monument up. So if you've filled them up any way, you will most likely get those points. I doubt miniatures will have special value.
GWAMM will also likely have some kind of extra value, as that title in particular changes the visual appearance of the HoM statue.

the only one that truly displays effort and character progress is honor.
any fool can slap down 20 white minis and a load of destroyer weps for aesthetic vanity.
its an rpg heading into a live world dragging its own history, HoM should reflect thus so.
e.g:heritage reward

I would tend to agree that at most it's going to be special skins, or armor that is not attainable by new gw2 players. Eyecandy without substantive gameplay advantage. They will be things that will clearly mark you as having "history".
I also don't believe they should make them attainable by new GW2 players.... period. This is OUR "bonus" for years of dedication and hard work, and I will be seriously disappointed if people who have never played a minute of Guild Wars will have the chance to "buy" these things... whatever they turn out to be.

If anyone did buy Guild Wars 1 for the hall of monument items in Guild Wars 2. It is not like the hall is filled for free, they would still have to work just as hard as old players to get the hall filled, so why not have it attainable for new players Wynthyst? Also what time frame classifies a new player?
I like the points idea, fill in so much, lets you buy such and such. I look forward to reading how it all works and what we can get.

New players to GW1 now ofc everyone wants people to get as many bonus items as they can.
I do agree with Wyn, if people in GW2 can get these items without ever playing GW1, I would be very pieved off to say the least.

glowing aura..... with your GWAMM pts.... because well you are the decendant of a GOD!
And I would think that the mini shrine will give: (speculation)
1pt for white first year
2pt for purple first year
3pts for gold first year
4 pts for green
2pts for white 2nd year.....and so on and on.... but again... maybe just 1 pt for white and up for better color of minis... but who knows... NOT ME....
hope we will find out soon

Personally, I don't think GW1 e-peen should transfer to GW2. Those who had status in GW1 got the benefit from it GW1. Let it stay there. Reward all GW1 customers by giving them equal chance at any bit of HoM bling in GW2, and let them all start out on the same e-peen footing from there. It's enough that those who have more items in their HoM will have more bits of bling, and there is no reason to carry this to extremes with extra rewards for those who have things that nobody else can get.

With the different groupings available for minipet display maybe we will get points for having a full birthday set. Or just X points for having 20 total, 30 total, 40 total, etc. I am thinking base points for having a "full" display (whatever the max for display is) and then extra for having all available (this could work for armor, hero, weapons, but since there are new birthday minis I would think those would go by set or by number tiers).
Can we please add the craftable Deldrimor weapons and the Oppressor weapons to HoM? Pretty please? They would look so nice there.
Yes the people who were lucky or wealthy get to show off. Inferiority? Sounds like someone is just jealous. I have played for for over 5 years and have a decent stack of pretties. As much as some others? No. More than some others? Yes. I put my time/ effort in. My luck with getting minipets on my own is rather dismal (many repeats, but others have the same and we can trade. Hello Nicholas, its been over 1500 gifts can I please have a mini now? Wintersdays full of bear runs, nada. Taking 9th char through WiK right now, luckily my husband got the gift ones.) I have bought a handful of the birthday minis to complete my collections - all paid for by playing the game and picking up every little drop. That is my effort put in and anyone else could have done the same. And I accept that I will never have an Island Guardian or even a Dhuum. Oh well. If you didn't want to spend the time to obtain a certain mini/title/whatever you shouldn't complain that the people who did get a reward for it. I can't see them giving extra points for the really really rare ones anyhow because of how few there were available. Unless that ties into the tier thing. And then it goes back to the "Oh well" for those who didnt get it. Maybe there will be a set number of things to trade points in for and the extra points wont even matter.

Sounds good to me.
I was just happy with the name transfer don't really need anything else. Easy to keep friend list together.

That's quite a change. From unlock-based to point-based. It likely opens all the possibilities of getting much more than 'just' a full HoM, like a 6th elite armor set or 21th minipet will likely give you more points, and another thing is different achievements may have different point value. Obsidian Armor may give 2x or 3x more than any other armor set, ultra-rare minipets give much more than common ones, etc. Oh, and mixmatching, like a mini panda giving you points for a cool weapon or a set of tormenteds give you a special minipet in GW2.
