Deldrimor weapons should, add a gold inscribable option at the end of factions, and move d-weps from slavers to end of eotn and we have a winner.

I have I think ONE green I play with, Draconic Scythe for my SWAYing purposes, which I RARELY SWAY anyways...I hate playing with greens, because they are not customizable, and to find the one PERFECT for your style is a waste of time and effort.

I would rather spend a lot of gold on a skin and mods then a little gold on a pointless end game green I NEVER use.

And add also a Shiro'ken set in Factions, and all set. One 'elite' set for each campaign.

I /sign for this idea, but not the idea that Bhavv made up.

/signed. I hate both tormented and destroyer weapons and would never waste money on them... Add something that the casual gamer can put in.

To me, end game greens are greater then ugly tormented and destroyer weps.

And green weapons dont in anyway compare to starter weps.

I was initially going to suggest that end game weapons should also be customised, but then you would never be able to get yourself a matching pair for both hands so that wouldnt work.

Maybe if they could be used on your account only, but not tradeable it would be fine.

Look at how many armor sets there are available to add to HoM, and compared to this there are only two addable weapon types that a lot of people dont even like. I find it stupid that people think that everyone else should pay excessive money just for items for the HoM when they dont like them at all.

I find both weapon types too ugly for the cost.

I still don't understand why only Destroyer, and soon-to-be Tormented, are the only weapons worthy enough to be in my HoM.

/Signed for more weapons for HoM.

Having more craftable weapons like the Deldrimor weapons would be cool.

bhavv · Jul 13, 2008, 04:25 AM // 04:25

Yes, why cant we add deldrimor weapons as well?

I like the deldrimor weapons and am going to get a spear and a shield.

And I also like the Idea of having craftable end game weapons in factions too that can be added.

Maybe make either Zodiac or Celestial craftable end game weapons for factions?

did i say anything about allowing starter weapons? i dont think so and the last time i check you can customize them.

/signed woot! a cheaper way to fill that lonely section in my Hall of Monuments

Lady Raenef · Jul 13, 2008, 11:02 AM // 11:02

Personally, I consider green weapons to be useless, in my opinion. You can't change the color, change the mods, and almost everything out there for melee weapons are 20/20, 15^50, +30. Can we have variety?

I'm okay with Destroyer/Tormented weapons only.

Azza · Aug 12, 2008, 03:13 PM // 15:13

Tyria-Titan weapons(as mentioned above)

Factions-Shiro'ken weapons or Luxon/Kurzick Weapons

NightFall-(Talach ninneed said Torment weapons will be able to be added)

Eye Of The North-Destroyer Weapons(obviously already that)

Bonus Mission Pack-The weapons u Trade in for with the books

so then every elite weapon plays a roll in the game of it origin that can be monumentalised

^^^That Idea i Like^^^

MithranArkanere · Aug 12, 2008, 04:14 PM // 16:14

They are way easier to acquire than Torment and Destroyer weapons.

So no.

nekopowa · Aug 12, 2008, 04:21 PM // 16:21

Personally,

/notsigned

They are too easily obtainable and nearly unwanted.

Sigma Onkoron · Aug 12, 2008, 04:22 PM // 16:22

/notsigned

If you really want things in your HoM then buy destoryer / tormented.

Greens are to easy to come by. And are really worthless, when a new one comes out its overfarmed and then worth nothing.

isamu kurosawa · Aug 12, 2008, 04:34 PM // 16:34

Why bother?

You get a statue in your HoM for completing a campaign. Why bother having weapons you get from simply completing a campaign added? Its pointless to have 2 monuments for the same achievement.

If they add more weapons to HoM i would prefer them to be elite mission rewards that use X items dropped in the elite areas just like tormented and destroyer. Maybe add a drop extra to uw/fow or SF for proph and urgoz/deep for factions that can be traded for new weapons.

Keep in mind the HoMs primary purpose it to translate rewards over to gw2. For that reason rewarding a character twice for campaign completion is pointless.

The only real cost is the 10k crafting for destroyer weapons. onyx, diamonds and torment gemstones all drop in their respective areas. Play the game and they are free.

Gill Halendt · Aug 12, 2008, 04:52 PM // 16:52

We still don't know what we'll get in GW2 for filling up this monument.

If they limited it to Destroyer Weapons at first, I guess there must be a reason. So HoM is not just a trophy room and the Monument of Valor is not just a show of precious items, I guess there must be also some sort of significance behind it.

I think that the main reason for this is so that since HoM is only available to those who buy GWEN, the weapons should also be ones that can be obtained in GWEN. If they had included weapons from other campaigns, there would probably have been some QQing from people that don't own those particular campaigns. I bet that's what Anet was trying to avoid at the beginning by making it only Destroyer weapons. That way no one with access to the HoM would be left out.

But of course, there has been a lot of QQing about the lack of choice, so Anet has now decided to let you put Tormented weapons in the HoM. I really doubt that they had (or even have at this moment) a solid plan for all the rewards from the HoM.

But back on topic, I think that green weapons aren't special enough to be included. As someone already mentioned, we are already rewarded for completing a campaign, so end-game greens would be like a really really cheap reward for the same thing. As for the comment about the number and varaity of armors that you can put in the HoM, please remember that each and every one of them is Elite armor that costs more than 10k per piece to make (including the price of materials). This is a suitably difficult accomplishment in my opinion and is worthy of recognition, but buying a key, necklace, or other trinket for 5k and then getting run through the last mission is not. It's simply too easy. It'd be like allowing 1k max armor to be put in.

In the end, the achievements in the Hall of Monuments are supposed to be special, so

no, for one thing you can only really get ONE for each character that finishes the game....
