Does anyone else feel aimless now that you already have earned all 30 items? I seem to have lost my sense of direction now that adding anything else to my HoM is just title grinding.

Eric Flannum said that they didn't add more items, just the titles, so that players wouldn't feel pressured to max out the rewards to 50. I don't think I would have felt pressured. I think it would have given me a goal. Now, unless I want to go for GWAMM, I have nothing left to do in the game.

this thing has only existed for a little over 24 hrs and now you've lost direction? What were you doing between the end of WiK and now?

It kind of dragged me out of retirement honestly, I got back to see that I'm 42/50 and over the past few days was working on getting straggler points.

Granted it was power trading mostly, but when you're 23 minis and 62 zkeys away it gives you reason to be there @ least.

I started at 30/50 and, if anything, this announcement gave me motivation to finish getting GWAMM and maxing my HoM out at 50/50. The titles might not mean much, but it's still SOME sort of future reward.

lol i gotta gree with him. If you've already gotten 30/50 good for you. But your new goal should be.. "i am going to get the new title and be one of the cool kids on the block". Now titles arent that cool but still you get my point.
If you dont like titles then just dont really play and wait till you get your stuff for GW2.
Its a win-win situation. We weed out the stinkweeds that want to rain on the parade of GW2 by saying "this is stupid im not doing that Q.Q /quitgame" and we get more pug activity/stimulated market(can anyone say 100k unded bone dragon?)

Given that I've been playing less and less since my War finished EotN, I was only at 20/50. Lots of stuff to unlock gives me stuff to do, especially because I've got elite armors on other chars that haven't got the relevant tapestries. I don't think I'll bother going all the way to 50 though. I've never really gotten into PvP so I can't see myself getting a PvP title. Nor do I see myself spending the majority of my life savings on obsidian armor and a torm weapon. I do look forward to collecting hero armors though.

I hope they decide to give more rewards for 30-50 than just titles. I have a feeling the player base wants this too. Afterall, all they have to give us are unique skins, I would be happy with that. No more pets, just skins that you can mod.

As I have said before, I'm very reward oriented. I havent title farmed much, except for PvE rank skills and a few others. I'm at 45/50 and I need 9 more titles to get 50/50. Not much motivation to finish just for a title that only gives you bragging rights.

Faction farming for my Luxon title which is at 9.1mil and helping out some guildmates. I did mention GWAMM, correct? But what I mean by a lack of direction, is I have no incentive to put more weapons or armor, etc. into my HoM. I just hope this feeling goes away and my sense of anticipation returns.

I'm at 42/50 and I find that the HoM rewards system gives me a sense of focus. I know what's required to "fill" a HoM and I know what I'm missing. Knowing that one doesn't have to do A, B, or C is a bit of a relief. And knowing that D, E, and F are what's needed to get to 50/50 really helps.

I'm not worried about getting that last title, because I think it's kinda lame (but "Legend of the Mists" sounds pretty cool.). Heck, I may not be getting GW2 anyway! I'm just going for the 50/50 to get a sense of completeness. Besides, now I've got a reason for doing things in-game that I had no interest in before - challenge missions!

At first I was like, well Im 50/50 with Gwamm, so i guess Im done. But now I have been spending a lot of time helping out guildies/friends to get to 30-50. It has been fun being in groups with them again, and doing some parts of the game we haven;t touched in a while.

I started at 35/40 and maybe logged on a few hours a week, i've been playing a lot more over the course of yesterday and today to try and get up to 40/50.

I know they have more content planned in the Guild Wars: Beyond Campaign. I would like to see some of that content linked with the HoM rewards in guild wars 2. Just like they had some WiK material count for points, maybe they could extend it past 50 with the new things they are introducing. Would give some people with 50/50 a bit more to work towards.

I know exactly how you feel. It's like I get on with the feeling that the rest of the things I do are just used to kill time. Nothing to gain. However, my friend that quit about a year ago, who is waiting for gw2 gave me his account. So I've been filling his out for him. At least to get him to 30. But it does seem that GW has some eerie aura around it now, to me at least.

Well my goal prior to this information was to achieve GWAMM and then take a break before GW2 came out. However, now my goal now is to max out all 50 titles for the HoM. Luckily you do not need to be GWAMM to do this so I can stop working on the stupid drunkard title and finish vanquishing and cartography. (Yes, I was working on all 3 titles at the same time, but I am almost done with vanquishes and carto, but I am only at 3000 drunkard)

I appreciate that this information was released, it simply changed my focus from achieving GWAMM to obtaining all that I can for GW2 even if it is just a new title.

(I do think 50 minis is a lot, but I have not really started trying to obtain them past the 23 I already have)

I just assumed 31-50 just haven't been revealed as rewards yet, other than the title rewards.

Well, there you go. GWAMM gives a special GW2 bonus (I think it's the exact same title). There are more suggestions above in this thread. Personally I have a 2nd account that barely has anything (maybe a few points?) that I'll try to get to 30 with.

I had my own personal quest that got smashed when the rewards were announced. I was working on getting my non-primary characters up in title tracks. Since it's now official that HOM is totally account-wide in GW2, it looks like there's not much incentive on pursuing that, in regards to HOM. But the new opportunity of getting 30 pts on my 2nd account will replace that.

Same, 50/50 and GWAMM, so nothing to do anymore.

I'll beat factions with some of my characters to hopefully return to it in a few mothns and play Crysis in Cantha.

That's a lifesaver, 'aint it? Although it feels a bit like cheating that a power trader's wet dream title like zaishen would count for PvP while Lux/Kurz wouldn't. I mean at some point they were at least meant to be PvP centric.
