You should be using customized weapons anyways, so you might as well dedicate them in the HoM if you play to actually play GW2.

For melee weapons, yes; otherwise no.

HoM will get changed so it's account wide. If your warrior has a sword & shield, customized and displayed in HoM, and your monk a wand & offhand in HoM, after the big HoM all items will be displayed in HoM, regardless of which character you are using. At least that's what I interpretated.

Also, in the spirit of "GW1", I doubt having a full HoM will give you any actual advantage in GW2, it will just be a way to show your e-peen, just like anything you can add to HoM now (with the exception of all the PvE grind titles).

i mean wtf?
the game is supposed to be fun
not to be a big preparation for an even bigger preparation -.-

and what would people in pve be doing right now if they didn't have some goal? it's an RPG. the whole point of an RPG is progression, which is a lot more fun when you have a goal toward which you can progress.

Good suggestion, I hope in the future Anet changes the system but makes certain that it will retroactively change weapons already in the HoM.

I just filled my weapon monument from empty the other day and currently have most of those weapons sitting in storage with no reason to use them (that's what being bored gets me, almost half my gold gone).

Nothing involved with filling up the HoM (titles, elite armor, elite weapons, minipets, upgraded heroes) has anything to do with either roleplaying or progression; everyone knows that.

If you can spread those 11 destroyer or torment weapons among several different characters that might use them, then they won't just be hero fodder.

Granted, the Destroyer weapons are ugly as sin and I wouldn't be caught dead using them.

QFT. All of this is Moot.

And GWEXTREMEFAN, if you have the money to burn on destroyer weapons.... why wouldn't you? If you have hundreds of plat, its meant to be spent. You get no rewards for just letting it sit there (something I finally reallized after I got my FoW). Just having money in the bank is worthless if you don't use it to get the stuff you want.

kazjun · Sep 15, 2008, 02:51 AM // 02:51

Well, something is better than nothing, right? Plat sitting in your xunlai will not be worth a thing in GW2, while if you fill your HoM (even if the benefits are crap) you'll at least have something.

I'm sure the armour and weapon benefits won't last long since you'll probably get better gear, but a unique mini or hero/sidekick/pet will last quite a while. Especially if the hero/sidekick/pet is cool, you could take them all the way with you as you level. As for title benefits, who knows? Still, at least it's something. And the way GW2 is going, who knows when it'll be out. You should have bought all you really wanted to by then, so what are you going to use the plat for?

who in their right mind would customise a tormented weapon

Your not going to have your destroyer weapons either.

Oh please, they aren't even worth THAT much. The real question is... who is crazy enough to customize 15% uncondtional weapons (which are worth several million a piece)? *cough*Herbalizer*cough*

All the GW players who joined this late into the game have it lucky.

Courage! · Sep 15, 2008, 06:35 AM // 06:35

i dont think gw2 will have much to do with HoM, it'll probably get you a weapon that everyone will have and no value or a title so i dont think HoM will be great in gw2 UNLESS we get info on it

seriously why would you spend so much gold on a "place" that you wont see %99 of your play time

how can you know what the Hall of Monuments is, but not know what it's sole purpose is?

QFT.

And I'm going to laugh when the HoM in GW2 fails like the original did and the most you'll get from it is some worthless title that tells everyone that you wasted all those hours in GW to get a worthless title in GW2.

You have reached max rank in
"I spent thousands of hours in GW1 and all I got was this lousy title (6)"

/signed for that

Skyy High · Sep 15, 2008, 10:51 PM // 22:51

Psst. The HoM is going to be account-based. Buy your destroyer weapons on characters that you can use them on, or give them to your heroes. Really frickin simple.

As to the people laughing at players "wasting" their money on the HoM: like you really have a more productive way of spending a couple million gold, right? At least money spent in the HoM comes with us, in some recognizable and (ostensibly) pretty-looking form in GW2.

A11Eur0 · Sep 16, 2008, 04:33 AM // 04:33

55k for destroyer weapons...not exactly hard to get. Oh, add in cost of salvage kits to get the iron and granite....ooh. 60k TOPS. gold granite hammers/stonehead hammers/cleavers with highly salvageable inscrips, almost 100 granite a pop. Sure, sometimes you get steel but you can sell that for more granite, still overall costing you nothing.

Farm the onyx and diamonds.

If you go about it the right way, it's not as expensive as you might think.

I would. I like the way my heroes look with them. But I agree though.
And no, I'm not retarded thank you very much.

You actually farm them? I just sort do dungeons and somehow they stack up real high in my storage. Made a decent amount last week at rare merchant's though

Exactly! You buy expensive stuff and stick it in there! Move on and hope that you get something for your efforts in GWII. It's not that important people,- move on!
