Life after 30 HoM reward items

Whut? I wondered why it wasn't showing any new items for me after I hit 30.
Well, this makes me feel a little bit better about not caring so much about hitting 50.

250k might sound like a huge amount, but that is not a lot if you play the game with a goal, AKA without wasting money on stupid thing.
For example you havent done the following thing :

First of all, play through all 3 campaigns and EotN, and beat the final missions and all bonus objectives (3 'hero' statues + 3 'protector' statues). I would recommend starting in Nightfall for the Heroes and faster attribute points. Complete War in Kryta and get an Oppressor Weapon from your Medals of Honor earned. Next, get one Rare Ranger Pet, and 2 Hero armors (~10k each) (+ 2 = 16) |
The only REAL thing who require money is buying minipet from other player.
And some armor if you are too lazy to get them yourself. But like i said just play the game with a goal in the mind, once you get to the point you need money you will notice you already have a pretty good amount stashed.
So far i see that guide is the fastest way to do it, with money or without.
If you think that is too hard or too much work well, you might as well give up then. You are not losing anything in guild wars 2 just some cosmetic stuff witch don't affect gameplay at all.
And this is true both for reward under 30/50 and over 30/50. I don't see the difference.
Both title and armor skin are cosmetic.
Mr. Undisclosed
I got myself from 24 when it first came out to 40. Don't really feel like doing anything else as it would take a lot of time. I feel like I have nothing left to do lol
godis
I really don't want them to add anything extra between 30 and 50
I played this game daily for 3 years now and I still have lots of work to get it to 30.
I understand the frustration for those who already had 45+ at introduction but you have to consider us non-ultra-skilled also

I really do not care about it i have 39 points can get to 47 max but i have made allot of money thanks to those status hungry buttwhipes.
It's rather insane to see how many people go on a killing spree to get those HoM points.
I can't care less about everything.

I got like, 45, or something. And now I finaly feel I can relax and play what I think is most fun. I went for GWAMM, and I only wanted one character with it, so I accomplished that. But when I look at the rest of the rewards, you know, the titles, I think to myself 'Okay, if I waste time now, trying to get the last titles, it will be useless when I get GW2. Cause despite those fancy titles and all, GW2 is gonna have other titles I probably wanna use more than the ones you get from this reward stuff.' If I do go for the titles, it's not intentional, but because there is for example a mini/weapon/hero/etc that I actually wanna add.
Either way, I think that perhaps you should stop playing Guild Wars, or do what you think is most fun to do. I don't think anybody can say anything else tbh...
I play PvP now, because I enjoy that the most. But I do enjoy PvE aswell. But now I feel it's time for some fun time 8D So now I'm playing alot of Aion instead :>
edit: Also, I feel alot of you pull all of us with you when you say you don't do titles cause it's like a job. What about us who enjoys having titles? To me titles are something that I have achived because for example I play good, or I eat candy(Haha) and therefor I don't see them as a job. If you seriously epic RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing hate to do titles go play I dunno, something like fable, oblivion, mario(Btw I've never played these games except mario so I dunno if they got titles or not xD), or don't care about the titles, and what other people do with them. Some people enjoy the e-peen of having titles, while some enjoy the feeling of accomplishing a challenge and get a sort of credit for that.

Do it gradually at your own pace and you'll have a lot more fun as you go.

Well, they wanted a decent reward for us. And I think we have it. But they did not want to reinvent Guild Wars in the process. It is a fair sized mountain but not an overwhelming one.
Since ANet would rather sell two games than just one, I would suppose they have future plans for more linkages between GW 1 and 2. Just my take on it, I could be wrong.

I have this sneaking suspicion that those titles are going to be like titles in other games with stats tied to them.

Anet said GW was a PvP game. Anet said they wouldn't do micro-transitions (where these storage panes are). They promised bi-monthly updates. They promised skill updates, and so much more.
Anet is not a company to be taken on their word or values. They have already severely broken their No-grind rule, ESPECIALLY with this latest HoM update.

I had 19 points, and wanted to get to 35 for ghostly hero title, so this is what I did:
- Reinstalled GW
- Bought 3 sets of armor (luxon, canthan, one of the prophecies ones)
- One destroyer weapon
- A bunch of hero armors
- A bunch of pets (and opened presents for the past year on 10 characters)
- Tamed the black moa
- Played some ABs, cripshotted baddies and ranked their corpses
Got me to 35 points.
I should mention that I never cared about HoM before I quit the game almost 2 years ago and just did whatever I wanted and not grinded statues. You people make it seem like it's some obscene amounts of grind. It's not. I don't have ANY of the stupid grind titles maxed (no wis, treasure, alc/party/whatever, none of the eotn titles)

If you are 50/50 with GWAMM and feel you have nothing left to accomplish try some PvP that isn't RA/FA/JQ/AB.

I am not 50/50. I am 38/50. I'm not really interested in 50/50. To get 50/50, I would need to buy obsidian armor on one of my toons. I don't like FoW armor. It's unattractive at best on most classes. The only one I would have bought, ranger, was totally ganked by Monument, so I bought that instead. It's like FoW but with a coat!
My personal goal is 45/50. I think that title is Legend of the Mists. I like it.
I think it would be nice if things like Lucky/Unlucky, Treasure/Wisdom bonuses translated in some small way to GW2. Not to the extent that they are in GW1, but perhaps on the order of a small "leg up" with those.
My husband is 24/50. I'm just trying to get him to 30/50. Which requires him coming up off some bankroll. I swear he's the stingiest miser in the game!

I hit 50/50 and needless to say there is little things left to do for me. Now i just look forward to the promised new content, and the 7 hero update.
gw_poster
did anet say the 50/50 rewards will come customized? presuming they are not, then i wonder what the market will be like for these items when gw2 first opens
i'm like many of the others having gotten GWAMM, then quit...now this! I'm at 38/50..having thought i would never have use for sin heroes i had to go and get anton and zenmai...wtb a butt-load of hero armors, and like 30 minipets
curse you anet, and curse the day i ever logged into GW

I'm over 30 points but it's given me motivation and direction also. For example, outside of my three Leg. Cartographers I'd never done Sahlahja for hero armor remnants. I only ever got one by chance while mapping with those three a long time ago. Last night I sat down with the intention of needing to do that repeatedly for a few hours. I did it one time and got 4 remnants! I only needed 3 since my Razah had Primeval. I wondered why I didn't do it earlier - outside of the pain it was to map. So anyway, just knowing there are some things I can finish up has gotten me into it a bit.
Shrii
When it first came out, I was super excited to see what I have unlocked and still needed to unlock - to find out I was already at 30.
Was a little sad that I didn't need to work for anything since I've wanted a reason to get back into GW, but a few days later I decided that getting the titles are just as rewarding as the items. So now I'm working towards 50 (since I was working towards my gwamm anyways). So far I'm at 35. Getting to 40 will be easy, but beyond that is going to be were the real struggle comes in.
I need to get off my lazy but and finish cartography. I have no patience for it, and even prefered vanquishing to map scrapping.

Took 3 months off of the game, decided to load it up last night and was told about the calculator...46/50 needing like 22 minis and one oppressor weapon to max it out. Went through my mini storage and found 14 whites/purples that I hadn't dedicated. Now I need to buy up the rest of the 3rd/4th/5th year whites and fill it out, unless I can get 2nd and 3rd year purples at the same prices as 4th/5th year whites. Definitely not dedicating my celestials/yak/WiK golds or any other greens. when I'm done with work here and am back home with a fast connection, I'll finish up WiK for an oppressor weapon and sit pretty at 50/50.
Then I'll just work other characters through like I was before the break.

I'm 50/50 and GWAMM and I must admit there is nothing interesting more to do in GW for me anymore HoM calculator kinda killed the spirit.

The rewards for 30/50 are nice but there should be an item or selection of items for 50/50. Titles are useless.
A11Eur0
The items are useless too. My guess is that they'll be just the same as every other item of the same type in GW2, just a different skin. And since most GW2 players will be returning GW1 players, just about everyone's going to have the same junk anyway.
Angel Killuminati
What are the titles that only require a level of 3 to enter into HoM? Are these the PvP ones?
Darcy
Here is a link to the Monument of Honor page on the wiki. The title list indicates which ones do not need to be max. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/%22Honor%22
We all know that but it's not a problem, anymore than the titles now are used. Except for the ones tied to PvE skills or the EotN buffs, titles are useless except to bring back memories of working on them. I expect the HoM rewards to be the same. I'm sure we will all find armor/weapons/minis/pets that we like better, but we can always haul out the rewards to bring back our memories of GW.

yep i do hope that is some skin reward for 50/50. nothing flashy or "awesome" like the fiery glove, just something simple as a reward/souvenir for those that had 50/50
cosyfiep
I think they left the last item at 30 so players wouldnt think they NEED to have 50/50 ....casual players will have a tough time getting 50/50 and new players as well. (just think of the cost of fow armor if you have a brand new account with no help from other accounts/storage)......so its to encourage people to get to 30 and still give something to those who have achieved more without making those who only got to 30 feel like the wasted their time ....that make sense???
and I still use some of the bonus items that we got from buying the ce editions and such...some of them are nice skins and when you are just starting out its nice to have one max weapon at least. So they might only be eye candy weapons, but YOU will know what YOU had to do to get them.

Do you think there's not going to be casuals who don't make 30/50 and will cry about it, so what difference does it make if casuals miss out on 50/50?

Unfortunately, there will always be idiots out there who see people with the reward items/titles and launch into a fit of rage calling us no-lifers and losers, even if we don't use them to seem more important. I already get it from people when I run around with my GWAMM. "Oh, look at that loser with GWAMM....some of us have jobs that are more important." News flash numbnuts: I'm playing this from my job.
