Those are Commemorative if memory serves, so probably not.

This kills me. I loaded up on Destroyer weapons in the HoM a long time ago. I know I can still put the Oppressor ones up, but that makes the detroyer weps feel like a waste.

Why is that a waste? You will probably get points for them in GW2, which is kinda the purpose of the HoM, so no waste.

I'm glad the oppressor weapons have more of a use now, I already purchased some cause they looked good (daggers and shield). Now it's time to farm the other ones!

Hopefully the focus (clipping) and spear (poorly layered) are excluded? They don't deserve HoM status.

Because I would have rather had prettier weapons on my monument. For me, it isn't just about rewards in GW2. Since at the time, Destroyer weapons were all that went there, and I'm sort of a completionist, that's what I put there. I had no way of knowing that something more appealing would come along. (Tormented doesn't count because I don't find those any more attractive than the destroyer, except for the shield.)

It's not the end of the world, but still a little frustrating.

Too bad I sold one of mine...looks like prices for these will go up a bit too since they have a new purpose in life.

I'll start bothering with those after ANet releases their spread on the HoM rewards, which should be out "very soon." Unless there's some extra trinket in it for me in GW2, I probably won't bother. Depends on how the costs of the Oppressor weapons compare to those of the Destroyer weapons.

I'm actually in a deathleveling session right now which is kinda frustrating.
Anyone knows when they kick me out? I thought it was ~6 hours.

Great, now Ill have 32 weapons sitting around taking up storage space. Another storage pane anyone? Maybe another character slot or 2, or even another account?

Customization should be account wide, not for individual character. Or at least if its dedicated in the HOM it can still be used on any character or their heroes.

Put them on heroes so it's not in your storage. No one said you had to keep the weapons either (just the character), and the HoM is account wide so the customization doesn't need to be account wide. Just put them on the character of your choice's HoM.

Thats just it, the character of my choice is my Elemantalist, which is my main, that already has all Destroyer & Tormented weaps dedicated & friggin customized. Weapons dedicated to HoM should be just just that, dedicated not customized, just like the Mini Pets.

Kind of stinks they didn't make the wik quests repeatable to go along with this. Now I have no option left but to either buy or do countless bounties...to gain last 2 weaps. That stinks!

How extensive is this update? I have been downloading a while and it appears the entire game is being downloaded. 26k files.

Pretty good news!

Even though I've been doing bounties for a while now, I'm sitting at an hilarious count of 0 Oppressor Weapons because I gave them away to friends who wanted it or just wasted all Supplies in gifts.

Anyway, off to do those bounties! It's kinda fun to team with actual people, the HoM shall bring more people to do the quests again. I'm so sick of heroes.

Wonderful news for me. I haven't really done more than put up three destroyer weapons so far. I think this will be more fun.

But the HoM is account based and has been for a while, so the weapons don't need to be all on your main character.

So even if your destroyer and tormented weapons are on your elementalist, you can put your oppressor weapons over any of your characters. You have no reason to be complaining about it.

umm, once you put them in the hom they are always there so you can delete them.

Apparently this is due to the fan response to the WiK poll.
Also hints about the next GW Beyond (possibly jokingly) being in Cantha

Haha, I love where the Live Team's priorities are.

Forget the Derv update. That shit can wait. Let's add Oppressor's weapons to the HoM and change the Costume Brawl.

Oh lawd. What won't they do next? *shrugs*

While this is a step in the right direction, i wish that anet would go ahead and open the HoM to any gold/green weapon so that we can place our favorites in there.

The rewards for wanteds and courier are horrid. The wik quests on the otherhand were nice. I'm still astonished they didn't make them repeatable.

They'll make all swords have a max damage range of 15-23.
