But without all that whining and gnashing of teeth the new HoM would have been the same as the old HoM, as evidenced from some developer statements.

And it's still not perfect. Per-character customization of minipets is completely unacceptable ...

Now you're just being disingenious, Gaile said clearly before the Preview that the HoM was NOT finished and there has been no dev comments on the subject aside from "we hear what you are saying but some things simply wont happen"

As for being perfect, it never will be, deal with it. Customization is the only way and if you dont want pets customized then dont display them.

The HoM is working great, mostly. I'm saddened I have to buy ALL of one set rather than the mix match I love to do. Ah well. lol

I wouldn't call it "completly unacceptable". It is disapointing but I think most people will live with it.

It would be nice if they could make it that the minipet could only be DISPLAYED in HoM on a per-character basis but could be USED by any character on the account.

Lack of PVE accomplishments is particularly troubling. (I think the ascended armour sets were a placeholder during the preview weekend and were not intended to be like that when the game ships).

So they a fully working HoM now, but it's still as shitty as expected - no real serious issues were dealt with, the most important being the fact it's still character based... it is still the GW Disappointment of the Year for me.

Changes suggested in the OP really need to be done, especially point 1. so /signed again

HoM is a lot better now. the only issue I still have is with per character mini pet customization. someone suggested having an npc such as the Festival Hat maker for mini pets so that mini pets can't be traded once entered into the HoM.

armors look good (though wierd issue with dyes right now), titles look good.

Question on Monument of Fellowship:

Can any pet now be entered (no generic "Animal Companion" statue?)

Are Hero pets also reservable? I haven't had a chance to play yet...

Guys, that's CRAZY! Sorry for that, but it is.

Remember, the main role of the HoM is to transfer stuff from GW to GW2.
Now, why would ONE of your GW2 characters have ALL the titles that you aquired with more GW1 characters?
And about the acces to HoM, I think this way it has its magical feeling, not just an option, but a place to go and something serious.

The minipet system is the most disappointing to me. I was furious when I found this out, since I use ALL of my 8 characters. I'd really hate to have to customize my mini-Gwen to a single character.

HoM as of now is too much of a simplistic approach and quite an anti-climax from all the previous hype generated.

Add more juice into it Anet...

I dont even bother going in my hall , not realy worth it...but it should be. I also think that it would not take much effort to change it.

Why only GWEN weapons?? Should be ALL High end weapons. We should also be able to display gold and materialds. I'm really disappointed about this HoM...

all these arguments are based off the weekend event. Most of your problems are solved.. Account based.. why?.. to fill it up??. and secound off imagine it.. It's a personal tribute not a armory. what would the armor part be like? .. why why why.. account based/no. but .. valor.. they should do something about that.. like making it green and high end gold. weapons only.. not.. w/e it is now.
