Which of the two do you think is more numerous? My experience may be limited by my guild, but full HoMs are rare. People haven't even completed all the campaigns...

I, with my almost full HoM (4 titles from GWAMM, and I could craft any number of destroyer items if I wanted), don't think I'll be very alienated if I get a /bonus equipment equivalent or a simple memento.

But if I were a potential player and heard the fanatics from GW1 get ultra good raid gear or whatever people expect in this thread... I'd be put off.

Whom do I expect Anet to listen to, given their general behavious over the years? I'd say the casuals. I fully expect that every player who has at least ONE armor suit or destroyer weapon in the hall will get SOMETHING to show for it. A little something, but something.

Who's right, you or me? We'll see when Anet published HoM details.

So I am guessing that since they switched over to an account-wide system, we just need to fill them account wide. However, I wonder if we will get more points for having it filled for multiple characters since those who do would have more items in their HoM.

What many seem to be forgetting is areanet is bringing your accomplishments from the past to the future so this should be the only way to get whatever they give us

Firstly filling a HoM doesent take forever and a normal casual player who has played the game even for 6 months to a year can fill it. Secondly, they have also said you dont need a full HoM to get your rewards for GW2, of course the more you have the more "points" you will have at your disposal, this is what I understand from what little information they have given us. Finnally, its already been stated by Anet that the items you recieve will be purely cosmetic and are not tradable.

Exactly, I wouldn't worry too much about this. It's probably purely cosmetic things you can get in GW2, but in the grand scheme of things, woop de woo - not that exciting.

Chaos gloves were exciting at first, and everyone was Wow, but those soon turned boring - you see them everywhere and nobody cares. Some mini's are ultra rare, but people soon run past them and you're left standing with a mini walking around, nobody even looks at twice.

Just play GW2 and pick up the lovely items given there. If the HoM rewards you with some other items / skins, then good, but I'm not overly anxious to find out.

The items might even be non tradable, if they even give you items - so it's just for you to wear, or for you to whack in your storage for years.

Alternatively, if they reward you other than cosmetically, then I'll stand up and take note.

I think this is hilarious. If you dont want to fill the HoM, then dont! No one will force you to fill it and in no way will your ability to play GW2 suffer! But for those of us who have or are still spending loads of time trying to fill the HoM because we want our achievements to be acknowledged in GW2: we want something pretty cool for our hard work and we dont really care whether newcomers or old players are too lazy to just fill their HoM with a couple of things but who, instead, go cry about it on the forums.

Think HoM is useless and or dividing: dont fill it, forget about it. Dont ask ANet to take away any cool things the people that have or are filling the HoM might get. Thats just not cool, man.

Haha exactly! thats what i keep saying abotu every game that even has achievments, if you want to do them for the challenge, do them. If you do them for the fun...do them for the fun. But if its grind, then who are you kidding?

Why would someone expect anything to transfer from an old game to a new game? Halo doesn't work like that, Diablo doesn't work like that, the only game I know that does that is Pokemon (I'm sure there are others, my point is that it's not the norm).

If you are playing a new game YOU ARE PLAYING A NEW GAME! If you honestly only care about transferring your pixels from the old game to the new so much that you would quit if you didn't have some kind of recognition for it I honestly believe it would be healthier for you to stop playing the game and quit.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Everquest 2 didn't have any rewards carrying over from EQ1 players, did it?

Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Street Fighter 4 just off the top of my head. It's not all we care about, but you have to understand that some people play because of stuff like this. It's our opinion and it doesn't make it any less valid because you don't agree with it. ANET knew there would be players that care about this stuff and they catered to our whim on it. Meaning; it is there for the very purpose that you are arguing. Point is, they used it as a major selling point for EOTN. If people bought EOTN because they figured, "hey! not only will i get this for this game but the next as well, Sweet!" can you blame them for caring if all of a sudden that wasn't what was going to happen?

Baldur's Gate and the Silent Hill games did this too. Many, many games have done it, it's a great way to get original game people interested (if they weren't already) in the sequel, and it's a time-honored successful tactic. This oddly seems totally lost on you, so either you are a more brilliant game dev or Anet is. I put my money on Anet.

Listen. This point is not arguable. People who filled their HoM are getting rewards in GW2. Get over it and yourself. This thread was about "soon" info on what those rewards are. Your argument is null and void. The rewards will only be cosmetic, as they should be, however there should certainly be a higher reward for something such as GWAMM.

GW2 is very different game from GW1. You may say this is a perfect reason not to have rewards. However, from Anet's perspective, if rewards can convince enough diehard GW1 fans to jump, they'll have made a pretty penny.

They won't be fooling me with that damn carrot this time, though.

I fully expect the GW 2 skins to be superior to any rewards obtainable from a Hall, but for nostalgia's sake I'll probably choose one reward item for each of my 5 GW characters I'm carrying across.

In case I wasn't clear:

Somethink COOL, I'm all for. Something POWERFUL, I'm against.

I fully expect my rewards to be purely cosmetic. I'm fine with that. However, many complain how the want a "real" reward for their efforts, and they want something powerful. It's to these I'm saying that making the rewards powerful would alienate new players.

I personally hope individual minipets won't count for GW2 rewards, but rather a filled section as a hole.

A casual player is able to achieve just about every title or reward in HoM, except the minipets one.

For those, you had to either be part of the ecto-dupe crew in 2006, the armrace dupe in 2007/2008, or have been powertrading for a long time. But powertrading isn't a valid way of making money, as it doesn't really make money, but rather relocates it from many different players to one player. (Aka, one player gets richer, many different other players get poorer)

1. It is easily possible for a casual/new player to fill the minipets part of the HoM. Stop thinking about buying ONLY expensive minipets. Get the cheap ones, duh.

2. It would be much more expensive to fill the armor/weapons/GWAMM parts, especially if you use tormented weapons and FoW.

3. Powertrading is a valid way of making money. Just because you can't get into it doesn't make it illegitimate. Sure it doesn't "make" money like farming does, but would rather have money reallocated, or so many people farming ecto that their price drops into the crapper? Plus money is never really "made" in game, only recycled. This is why prices always fluctuate (simplified explanation of course).

It doesn't matter what effort they put into GW1. Anet has already stated that GW2 is going to be a whole new game with a completely fresh start. Meaning, starting from scratch for everyone. Just because you farmed more than the next guy, doesn't mean anything. All that effort you did in GW1 is exactly that. Effort in GW1. Not GW2. So those people that put in so much effort thinking they were getting all that effort in GW2, need to suck it up and realize that just because they farmed hours on end, doesn't mean squat in GW2.

They have already said we will get rewarded for a full HoM, and recieve points based on it. Meaning, a full HoM is the max, presumably. So all that extra farming to get more than is required, will most likely net you nothing. It seems we will have a set amount of points for having all the monuments filled. Which also tells us that if it is a set amount for a full HoM, that means that points won't be based of quality, but off the quantity of items.

So, even though you tossed in tons of hours farming in GW1 to get better rewards, all you're going to get is the same thing the rest of us get who just reached the minimum. Enjoy your "I farmed too much in GW1 and all I got was this T-Shirt" vanity clothing item.

My thoughts exactly.

I'm pretty sure the "rewards" will most likely disappoint those who were expecting some big "something".

Also, nice MI quote. You win.

I heard from a few people in game that a title in GW1 will get you a title in GW2 and that an armour in GW1 will get you an armour in GW2 etc...

Complete speculation, and highly unlikely. There will be some kind of point system for items (title statues, armor sets, etc.) in the HoM. We don't know anything yet about how the points will be allocated or what they can be spent on, except that rewards will give no gameplay advantage.

I cant imagine that there wold be any greater award for a 100% full HoM than a displayable full HoM. I only know of 1 person that has it 100% full (a known duper back in the day) and giving them extra rewards would just be wrong.

What are you talking about? My HoM is full. If you mean all the titles, minipets ect. Well that just isn't possible...

No one out there has max all pvp titles.

If it does turn out to be some sort of armor/weapon set, I can only imagine it working something like Heirloom items in WOW. You can wear them at the earliest levels and they only increase in stats when you reach higher levels.

Again, that's just pure speculation if the bonus would be gear. Not really sure what to expect, and at this point I really don't care. I'd just like to hear some info on it already.

Remember not all titles have to be maxed to be displayable. i.e. Zaishen is displayable at r3 so forth and so on. The outrageous one to completely fill is mini pets.

yes filling your hall is not very hard if you play the game thru.
If you do the challenge missions you will probably get an armor or 2 for your heroes--only need 5 (if you have all chapters you get mox as a free hero needing no armor for that monument so you would only need 4).
minis---you get one for each character per birthday...have a few older characters you should have a zoo by now---or white ones are easily (1st and 2nd) available for like 1 plat or less each.
getting 5 accomplishments---again, finish all 3 chapters get the bonuses/masters and that will give you 3 right there. Finish eye and turn in your hero book and dungeon book should get you close to one of the eye faction titles.....(and then the 5th...pft carto of factions is fast and pretty easy).
getting the armor is all about money, as well as the weapons---which if you did all those dungeons in eye will have netted you quite a few onyx and diamonds (its all I seem to get from the end chests

)

so it shouldnt be all that difficult to fill out all 5 monuments. Getting gwamm would be--and we still have no idea WHAT (if any) perk it will offer.

remember that you only need to fill the mini pet monument(20 minis) for it to be considered "full". you don't get a single thing for going over that limit in relation to it being full. same goes for the weapon stand you dont need 10 tormented and ten destroyer weapons to fill it. you just need 10 total.

Yep thats true but I still feel that if you add for example more minis in the devotion monument you will get more points for that monument to use in GW2, this is just my opinion not a fact. The points system is a fact we just dont know yet how it will be utilized.

I think that the more minis you add will grant you more points, but I don't see how that isn't fair. They worked for more so they are rewarded more.

Again, not that it matters to me. But it's just a matter of fact that what you put in is what you get out. Not directly of course, but more points should definitely be rewarded for excess HoM completion (such as a the full destroyer AND tormented weapon sets in your hall)

So you should be rewarded more points for having more money than someone else? No one worked for minis. There is no farm/grind to get minis. It's a gift you get on your birthday or you buy them from other players. Why should you be rewarded for having more than a full Mini Monument, when there is no work at all involved in getting them? The only mini you have to work for is the Mini Moa. And even that is easy to get.

Like I stated in an earlier post, Anet already said your points for your rewards are based off a full HoM. So going overboard is going to net you nothing.

Yes people worked for minis. People don't just get them on their birthday, they grind/farm for plat which they use to pay for the minis themselves. Secondly, once upon a time tournament winners were rewarded with minis. I believe the Mini Kanaxai is one such example. These tournament winners mostly did indeed work/earn this. Some minis were given out in magazines like Destroyer and some were exclusive to certain countries, such as the Mini Panda.

Other than the ones given by birthdays or given by magazines, there were plenty of mini's that people worked tirelessly for, such as the Ghostly Hero, or farmed tirelessly to have enough money to purchase. This is no different in farming for money to pay for party animal/sweet/drunk/obby and elite armor/destroyer weapons/tormented weapons.

Again, those who put more effort into filling their HoM, should have more points for that. And if you feel this way about minis, I'm really interested in how you feel about special benefits for people who have earned GWAMM for their HoM

To the people speculating about Weapons and Armor..... Remember that most of this is (hopefully) going to be purely asthetic.

In all honesty, I would much rather it be this way, why? Because asthetics are the only thing that will be timeless. If for my accomplishments in GW1 I was awarded a weapon at the start of GW2 that only was useful up until level XX that would be a pretty lame trinket to symbolize my GW1 time, especially since no one is expecting that GW1 players will get awtfmassivedmgpwn weapon after all.

At least if its a very very cool weapon skin, or armor skin, I can be admired by others for my accomplishments without having to have such a gameplay advantage for them, and I think thats all we would like to have. Just to be recognized and for people to say wow, that guy mustve been a pretty decent GW1 veteran.

Who knows, I'm hoping we might be able to unlock very neat weapon skins/armor skins that will end up working similar to the costume maker in GW1, WITH the addition of an armor/weapon "reskinner" in the game. That would be enough to make me happy.

The only mini you have to work for is the Mini Moa. And even that is easy to get.

Like I stated in an earlier post, Anet already said your points for your rewards are based off a full HoM. So going overboard is going to net you nothing.

I lold.

First of all, having money doesn't only apply to the minipets. You also have to buy the armor, the weapons, the hero armor and even some titles.

Second, if you use some common sense it's not difficult to understand how it will work. You will probably get points for eveything you put in your HoM, which means that "going overboard" will indeed give you more points to spent.

This concept isn't difficult to crasp cause every muppet can buy 20 white minpets, 5 hero armor (or less with MOX and the animals...), get 5 easy titles, 5 armor and 11 destroyer weapons.

It would be ridiculous if somebody like that would get the same as someone who has 30+ titles and a lot of other stuff.
