A 045 issue a few weeks ago got me thinking.

The HoM keeps track of anything that gets ded to it, so a 50/50 account that gets breached and has all it's characters wiped will still have full access to the listed rewards.

Now what about GWAMM? To my knowledge, outside of the "Honor" monument, there is no direct way to 'dedicate' or have the game say "there, it's been saved" with regards to GWAMM.

Even "Honor" still has the quirk that it automatically jumps up one rank in the display if you max out every single monument in the HoM, so it may or may not be tracking the title directly.

So a simple question, if a GWAMM character gets deleted today, will the world of GW2 ever remember him?

Well first off, if you account is blocked and you won't be getting it back, you won't get any rewards for that account anyways. You can't connect a banned/blocked account to GW2.

As for GWAMM, you need the max rank for it to count towards GW2. I'm sure it will register on your account that you have achieved it, whether the character is deleted or not. The statue in the HoM displays your GWAMM title, so that is the only noticeable way of knowing you had/have it.

Kook~NBK~ · Dec 16, 2010, 02:14 AM // 02:14

Anything you put in your HoM will remain recorded for GW2 purposes. Keep in mind, that the HoM links GW and GW2 accounts, not characters.

Statue? Is there a statue or is it the tapestry that glows?

Yeah it's a statue, cause there is no actual displayed tapestry there. Here is the picture of what it looks like as you progress in GWAMM.

Edit: Link btw for the Monument of Honor. It tells you how the statue progresses based on the GWAMM title.

What the OP is saying is that this statue does not reflect your GWAMM progress because it sometimes skips ahead depending on how many things you have in your HoM. I'm at 23 maxed titles right now and it is displaying the GWAMM rank statue for it.

Elmindreda Farshaw · Dec 16, 2010, 02:51 AM // 02:51

yeah but the statue progresses one lvl for filling your hall(11 weapons 5 armors ect) so you can get a fully progressed statue without gwamm, just 25 titles.

Ahem. A 045 error does not necessarily mean a perma ban. The most common use is to block access to accounts ANet suspects are compromised until the user verifies ownership.

As I said, the statues (or displays) purpose is vague, and it also jumps a rank when you've gotten max displayable items in every monument. This can also be read to mean that a 25/30 KOABD + maxed HoM will get GWAMM credit.

Yes, but you don't get anything to put into the HoM *directly* (for GWAMM that is.)

No, minipets for instance will stay after deletion. If you decide to delete character your titles will go away.

You think it's that hard for Anet to just check if a character has 30+ titles on your account or implement a function for you?

Depends on the above, probably not.

Any titles, armors, weapons, henchmen, or minis that have been dedicated to the HoM will still be counted by the reward calculator even after deletion.

I don't think anything, but I *know* that prior to the HoM account-wide upgrade last year, titles and ded items were wiped when characters were hacked and deleted.

The whole point of this post is to ask whether that function is in place now, or whether it'll be implemented closer to release (which is what I'm worried about.)

Have we ever had an official answer to this simple question? A friend recently had his account hacked and all characters deleted, including his GWAMM, before he got it back. He is nearly 50/50 and it won't be any problem for him to finish that up since the HoM has preserved all of his points account wide. But is he going to have to earn GWAMM on another character to get that carried across to GW2?

*Darcy* · Apr 16, 2011, 02:04 PM // 14:04

As soon as you earn GWAMM, it is recorded in your HoM data. The character can be deleted and, when in account mode, your HoM will still show the achievement. When GW2 begins, any of your new characters can display the title.

The account-wide data in the HoM is updated each time you record something new and nothing is ever erased from that data.

ashes · Apr 16, 2011, 02:07 PM // 14:07

Do i recall correctly when i say that i once read that gwamm counts for something outside of the 50/50?

In other words, 50/50+gwamm is 'worth' more that a simple 50/50?

And the official Anet source of that please? I can't see my GWAMM being recorded anywhere. It does not show on account wide view of the HoM ingame (and thus is lost if the GWAMM char is deleted) and there is no checkbox for it on the Calculator.

The only added benefit of GWAMM is that your GW2 chars can wear the GWAMM title in GW2 as well, nothing more.

Show it where? When I look at my HoM in account mode, I don't see the achievement anywhere. Yes, I have the full statue over the Honor monument, but you don't need GWAMM to get that, so it is not a reliable indicator of whether GWAMM is recorded in some fashion. The only place I know for a fact that GWAMM is recorded is on the character that has the GWAMM title, and, if that character is deleted, I have no proof that the title wouldn't go away along with all the other character-specific data that isn't recorded in HoM.

That's what I was thinking when Brett bumped the thread, but I took a look at the HOM Faq and saw this:

Quote:

Q: Do players who obtained the title God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals in Guild Wars get anything special in Guild Wars 2?

A: Yes, the maximum rank of the God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals title will be paid forward into Guild Wars 2. If you have earned this title on any of your Guild Wars characters, you will be able to have any of your Guild Wars 2 characters wear the title as well. GWAMM is completely separate from the rewards that you can see via the Hall of Monuments Reward Calculator.

Now just because it is separate from the HOM Reward Calculator doesn't mean it is not recorded in the HOM somehow, but that does cause me to wonder. It would be nice if we could get confirmation from Anet.
