I'm very dissapointed by this.

plz just get over it HoM is just a suped up command post it may improve and probably will over time but its just a preview weekend so stop bitching

it was funny at first but no its old and im tired of it... so anyway post more armor things.

HoM = a way to get exclusive stuff in GW2, not spend forever making sure everything looks perfect <_<

shutup and enjoy your spoils in 2 years

The problem here is that the implementation of HOM is terrible...
There's no customization (except where you have to customize your pets to ONE SINGLE toon) to display

What's the point in this if all the halls end up the same?

Anyone who has obsid or vabbi armor will have THE EXACT SAME armor shown in the hall.
There's no incentive to go to anyone else's hall - it'll just look like yours!

Anet has done the very very minimum here - lets hope they fix this.
It should have been designed way better than this.

On the other hand - good job anet on all the hype of HOM - now take that gun and shoot the other foot....

Does that say July 2005?.........

lyra_song · Aug 24, 2007, 06:36 PM // 18:36

Do i have to spell out my point?

The 15k Gladiator armor had the SAME ARTWORK as the cheap Droks gladiator armor until July 2005.

This was 2 months after release.

If i know Anet, they will make sure its functional, release it, and then finish filling in the neccessary skins later on.

Healers Wisper · Aug 24, 2007, 07:01 PM // 19:01

Guys this is a preview weekend, you know kinda like a beta test, lets see if the game functions and if servers can take it, are there any major bugs weekend. Hell you can't even go that far into the game. ANet has time to fix this, update some of their mistakes and get the community responce. it's not the end of the world. Give them a couple months to make the game all pretty after release and when they are sure everything is working on a large scale.

Anet tinkers with stuff, some good and some bad. State your opinion on how it is but dont form such hard conclusion, cause you know they will changes things, maybe not all, but GW:EN is not going to be the game you are playing this weekend.

Saraphim · Aug 24, 2007, 07:07 PM // 19:07

Yeh, must admit I'm not actually that bothered by it. At the end of the day it's in and ready for GW2. I really can't see myself dragging random people in their to admire it anyway.

Just rather pleased I didn't have to fork out for that Vabbi miner's lamp.

At least you'll be bawlin' if you're a male rit.

Enko · Aug 24, 2007, 07:12 PM // 19:12

here's the possible armors for core professions:

Armor Monument

Ritualists and Assassins will have 9 armors in there: Elite Luxon, Elite Kurzick, Elite Canthan, Elite Exotic, Elite Imperial, Vabbian, Ancient, Primeval, Obsidian.

Paragons and Dervishes will only have 5 armors in there: Elite Sunspear, Vabbian, Ancient, Primeval, Obsidian.

There is only one input for each Granite Citadel and Marhan's Grotto, even though you can purchase multiple armors from those locations.

When you rearrange the armors, it will change to a different profession.

You sure? Is there any screenies showing this? Because in the example you got there it shows the Obsidan armor is second from the left and it's rit and assassin. Mine is still a Rt and Sin even though it's in the middle.

Edit: Rearranging doesn't do anything-

Andisa Kalorn · Aug 24, 2007, 08:55 PM // 20:55

I'd never clutter my inventory space buying the gloves for each armor for my mesmer just to show off pictures of other professions' armor...

Forget the HoM. I have a better way to immortalize my achievements - armors, titles, and minis. Screenshots.

Especially since I have no interest in GW2 anyway.

hmm nvm. was mistaken. got the armors mixed up. kind of annoying that you can't select which 5 are up and it just seems like it puts up a random 5.

Really, really stupid.

Almost as stupid as the utterly unbearable mini-pet customization.

What's next? If I enshrine my beloved pet Moa, do I get a statue of a lynx?

Not that I'd go enshrining my dearest pet that I've had since day one. After learning about the mini-pet deal, goodness knows what might happen to poor Redfeather.

Unless it's a BLACK MOA from factions, you'll get a generic "Animal Companion" statue with a bear, wold, and cat.

I don't consider the HoM all that important, but I was HIGHLY ANNOYED when I got a generic monument to "represent" my beloved Dune Lizard, Fluffy. He's been with my ranger since level 17, almost two years ago!

I'm just going to stop working on the HoM, since it doesn't reflect my actual characters, and I'm unlikely to buy GW2 at this point.

I'm here for the story (which is good) and the dungeons.

But it would have been nice if the HoM actual did what they said it did, and had statues of us and our ranger pets.

Morrowind implemented this far better than anybody could have imagined though. Use the FREE contruction set to build your own display hall as big as you wanted (or as big as before your computer crashed upon entering the room...), custom skins and armour, and you could purchase display dummies to wear and display your various collected armours and weapons. You could even display stuff on shelves, book cases, display cases all over the room, and guess what, they would be EXACTLY where you left them every time you re-entered the room. I was kinda wondering how ANET was gonna implement even a fraction of this customization into GW HOM..... I guess they didn't =/

Also note, this is JUST the preview weekend. HOM might not be finished... but then again what IS finished of HOM doesn't look all that promising. Customized mini pets ftl

Echuu Ishtar · Aug 25, 2007, 12:52 AM // 00:52

"Witness here the armor of the legendary hero, Echuu Ishtar."

No. My ele wears cool ancient armor, not a dervish bird costume or a warrior's mummy outfit. I really hope this gets fixed.

upier · Aug 25, 2007, 06:44 AM // 06:44

I have to say that a lot of the armours shown are a good selection!
The dominance of the warrior armours is a bit of a shitty decision though. I demand that the 15k canthan male mesmer be immortalized for all ages! Just to serve as a warning!

Superb decisions on the vabbi and fow sets though!

dansamy · Aug 25, 2007, 06:55 AM // 06:55

Why can't it just show the armor in the gender/class of the character presented at the HoM and the other statue, opposite gender/random class?

jesusrunz · Aug 25, 2007, 07:35 AM // 07:35

Thanks for the explanation.

Also extremely stupid is the weapons display. It will only display so called 'great items'... Which apparently my ele and cryst swords are not, nor is my perfect r8 zod axe... But you know what is considered a great item.... Effing GWEN items. I don't care how good they look, nothing tops an ele sword for great...

Yeah, that is utterly ridiculous.

Weapon monument won't recognize any other weapons but GW:EN's.

The armor Monument is nothing worth seeing/Displays wrong kind and gender.

The Title monument is PvP only.

Minipet monument locks minipets to one character.

And Hero Monument needs hero armor.

The only thing that has impressed me about the preview is the visuals. The Art team as usual does a superb job and combined by Mike Obrien's planned enhancements to the engine puts frosting on top.
