1) HoM might be a pve thing but the pvp is still incredibly weightless among the rewards.
2) The miniature rewards are ridiculous. Most people just deleted the stupid things as they arrived (I sure did). Plus this can not be completed by playing the game (like all others): you MUST trade them. The price/availability is another issue, some white minis are already closing on the 100k mark.

For the mini issue all you need to have done is play for a long time....Ive got the 30 level in the HoM and I have never bought a single mini

if u have the patience to do LDOA, you can do 50/50 without needing LDOA. LDOA only counts as the same as all the other titles and the cap for titles is very low. thus it's just a huge time waster. other time wasters include max chest hunter, glad 3, hero 6, lux/kurz 12, rare minis, multiple tormented weps. all useless because there are much easier things for 50/50.

yay for hanging the hardcore players

I'm guessing this was meant to tell people who dedicated Kanaxai's and Island Guardian's or whatever are stupid, but they are just as ridiculously expensive dedicated. Anything that is less than a stack of ecto isn't a big deal. The rarity and expense of the mini's still make sense as well, now that there is barely a difference on what you dedicate won't change the price because there are not a large amount of MOX compared to Siege Turtles, I managed to get 3 with all 3 of my 1st years so far.

Relax, they're minipets.

I enjoyed leveling my perma pre to level 16. Didn't bother deathleveling. Same goes for my PvP titles. Your complaint doesn't sound hardcore to me, just lifeless.

Some of you guys should ease up a bit with your expectations. I've bought and added all 11 tormented weapons to my HoM about 2 weeks ago, yet you won't see me complain that I only receive rewards for one. When I spent all of my money on torms (and I literally mean all of it), I was perfectly aware of the "risk" that they might just not be worth anything in the HoM, and so was everyone else.

And personally I do not consider that a waste of money, as I actually like having them in my HoM.

This is true if you define usefulness solely in terms of the HOM. Because the HOM is such a big and sudden bonus, it may overshadow others, but it's not hard to maintain some perspective.

Additional salvage and lockpick chance, no?

Not really, don't forget that GWAMM also carries over to GW2, and you need those titles for that (kurz/luxon being the cheapest compared to treasure and wisdom). So it ain't a waste if you also want to carry over GWAMM

The only thing I'd like there to be in HoM calculator is the listing of what minis you have, to make yourself a checklist.

let me start by saying that ive played gw since release, im 18/50, because i play for fun never for grind.

it looks like the only rewards are trivial anyway(minipets, common greens/whites, basic armor, nothing really helpful right?) no gold is that correct?

so i guess im just wondering those of us that just play for fun, i know the minority, were not really missing out that much huh? but at the same time not getting anything right?

35/50 :P

Depending on the reward structure, I was contemplating whether or not to grind the harder achievements [cartographer, vanquisher, etc.] if the rewards in GW2 were worth it.

I'm so glad I won't have to now.

Yes, that would be useful... but they might have deliberately NOT done that, so that nobody can find out who owns the super-rare mini's, and specifically target them with tailor-made hacks/scams. Or something.

Very good update, I love the calculator page. But ...

Gamer title needs to count as PvP!

I hope Anet just missed this when coding titles, but gamer is pure PvP (Dragonball, snowball, even rollerbeatle races are vs other humans) and should count as such.

People were sitting at 22-25 maxed titles b4 EoTN and HoM were even thought about, people played for the glory and the challenge and still continue. People also brought high end minis way b4 the HoM. You have your entire view of the game turned upside down because the HoM is just an incidental freebie, not a goal for hardcore players, only casuals have to work for it.

Ya I was a bit disappointed to hear my r3 gamer didn't count as a PvP title . Especially when it took me 2 years of grinding out Costume Brawl. Which is a form of PvP believe it or not.

Actually for my main account it isn't about the points at all, I'm on 43/50 already and only need some hero armours, a few more mini's and four non-destroyer weapons. So for my main account, I'm gonna stay in pre, cos with GWAMM already I just don't need the title on my monument, unless other titles than GWAMM transfer over to GW2.

My 2nd account though is only on 8/50 so I probably will need to sear it. It was just that I distinctly remember there being discussion about being Anet putting in some mechanism so the title could be posted whilst not having to sear. And seeing as the LDoA question doesn't appear to have been answered, I'm wondering if Anet know's themselves.

I have a whole 45 Gamer points, but I do agree with you. This should be a PvP title.

I don't think the monument tells you what it's missing, but the hom.gw2 website does, which in my case is the Imperial Phoenix, and a number of hero armours, so I'm not far away.

You can visit your HoM in game and have the monument display all mini pets acquired from first, second, third, fourth and fifth year as well as any special mini pets (ie Black Moa Chick). Just make a list of the ones you have and compare with the list on wiki.

after coming back yesterday from a few days without net acess i was shocked. the prices for mats and minis and weapons are crazy. luckly i got 2 of the weapons i needed off other girls and buy 3 minis. so i went from 47/50 to 49/50. my last thing i need it obi armor. which i cant afford and even if i did i dont want it. only some professions pull it off nice so its not worth the effort. to bad the prizes stop at 30.

Post a top of the rewards which you like most, rewards which you dislike most, and the rewards you would've wanted but aren't there.

Yeey:

1) Chimeric Prism. One of my favorite items in GW 1, absolutely amazing to see it back in GW2.
2) Diamond Aegis. Glad they chose this shield skin over any others as it's my favorite type. Would have liked the Iridescent Aegis more, but I suppose we can dye it in GW2, yes, yes?
3) Closer to the Stars title. Still thinking Factions is the best GW1 campaign and just love this title for sentimental value.
4) Cat pet. Mew mew, cute.
5) Heavenly Bracers. Interesting design.

Meh:

1) Champion of the Gods. Just meh. GWAMM sounds much better. Plus, only humans will have gods in GW2 so there isn't that much utility in this title.
2) Fellblade. Ugly thing! Would much rather have any sword here that's actually pretty! I don't like the Fiery Dragon Sword that much either, but I understand it's there for sentimental value. The fellblade, urgh!
3) The staff and wand, not pretty, thus nothing for caster besides chimeric prism.
4) Titles in general. More items!

Want:

1) A pretty sword, such as a Jade Sword, Celestial Sword, Broadsword, Dadao Sword, Katana, Shinobi Blade, Zodiac Sword, Platinum Blade, Phoenix Blade...
2) A nice wand and staff, such as the Celestial staff, platinum staff, Zodiac Staff, Dragon's Breath Wand, Onyx Scepter, Topaz Scepter...
3) Something Tengu-related. We all know there will eventually be Tengus in GW2, yes?
4) Something to put in our house in GW2. We'll have a house and I kinda expect that we can decorate it to our tastes, so a pretty painting or statuette or other bauble of interest to put in there would be nice.

-God Bracers (they look bad-ass)
-Ice Crown (I love nice headwear)
-Cat pet (I generally dislike mini-pets, but at least this could go for a real mini-pet instead of something ridiculous like miniature versions of NPC's and monsters we have in Guild Wars 1)

Meh:
Titles (just don't really care much about 'em, but some of them do sound cool)
Heritage Armour (the warrior set isn't really my style, the other two sets look alright)

Want:
-Wish there was a Storm Prism instead of Chimeric Prism, with lightning and stuff you know.=p

meh: diamond shield (seriously, this thing looks horrible imo), gnarled stick, baroque mask

want: prestige armor sets should unlock a statue of that set for in GW2.

Want: Rift Warden (probably my favorite sounding title out of the whole lot), Wheelock, Zombie Chicken, Deldrimor Mace, Cat and Golem. Also the Flaming Beacon and Warhorn, just out of sheer curiosity. I'm not sure if Anet already announced what their functions are. But maybe they're some sort of summoning item?

You have stated that fellblades are ugly and will now be taken to madness incarnate to be killed with fire..... slowly.....

its the best single sword skin there is not to mention the only skin fitting for a greatsword, would pick fellblade over the rest of the blades you mentioned anyday (except phoenix maybe, but platinium? meh.)

suppose this is a proof that different taste exist

To be honest - any of the titles, so many people will have them that they will mean very little. The only situation I can think that they would mean anything is about 6 years down the line when the player base is made up of mostly people who joined GW2 after GW1 and so don't have them.

I do not have fond memories of the Chimeric Prism. My first character was a Ranger. The Chimeric Prism was utterly useless as a starter item for a Ranger :-P Cool that it gets a second chance in GW2, I might actually use it this time.

If you have GWAMM, you can wear that in GW2 instead of Champion of the Gods. (FAQ on the HoM site mentions the GWAMM title, it's separate from the calculator stuff).

Fellblade - I wasn't crazy about the skin before, but it seems pretty neat being a two-hander this time.
Gnarled Walking Stick - as we're talking about a new game here, I'm hoping for some special animations for staves or just 'walking sticks' like this one. It would be awesome if this was a walking stick not just in name but function as well.

Since just about every player in GW1 will have the same rewards in GW2, none of these will be cool. They will be that item that everyone has and only a certain few will use them. I'm sure that even God Walking Among Mere Mortal will be dumped for much cooler GW2 titles. All of this HoM stuff, its cool, but the reality is that it will all become obsolete.


Just an opinion.

Would be nice if the people who got 50/50 are allowed to transfer some weapons or items of choice from gw1 to gw2.
Wont happen ofcourse because of the different weapon stats in gw2. But I'd bet some would like to transfer their crystaline to GW2.

Thats most likely to be. The thing is that for now it's the only thing wich can be done for GW2 (that's proven to gain something). It's just new wich makes it so hot right now.
