As entitled.

Any idea why the three new heroes (keiran, miku, zei ri) can't be added to HoM? Not to mention Panda...

Same applies to Imperial Weapons... NF has a set of torments, EotN has destroyer, prop has oppressor, why factions with Imperial set is biased? Did I miss anything or they just simply don't have resources to implement this?
Any ideas guys? Help me understand plz.

I have no idea if they ever intended to add WoC weapons to the Hall, but the inability to add the new heroes is, I believe, a lack of time/resources. If I recall correctly, they said they were going to work on being able to add Keiran when he was released...but it never happened. I guess it got shuffled down their "to do" list.

I think the only one we've heard about for sure is Keiran; he has the alternate armor already, but they don't have the art for a statue. Stumme said it somewhere on the wiki, iirc.

I assume because you can get 50/50 without them already. Sure, there are extra Oppressor, Tormented and Destroyer weapons, along with extra statues and mini pets, and even armors, but what would be the purpose of adding them to the HoM since filling it is already doable.

It would be nice to have more options. So that people can bypass some of the harder areas like titles in favor of something like the 3 heroes. You still have quite a bit of work to get the heroes, so you'd have a choice to make on whether you want to get the titles and work towards GWAMM or ignore titles and focus on GW:Beyond.

everything is basically handed on a plate already.

but i guess it wouldn't hurt to make the game even easier than it already is.

Adding new things to the HoM is probably something that they'll do later as a batch update. They probably haven't done it thusfar with different weapon sets or heroes because an update to the GW HoM partially means needing to update the GW2 HoM.

They currently do not have the manpower in order to add them. But will most likely come sooner or later.

IF we are getting a nightfall chapter of beyond (with emphasis on IF) they might wait with anything addable that could potentially come with, so they only have to make one single update.

I don't think it's a simple matter...

Need artwork for statues/monuments; If they allow WoC weapons in HoM, they really need to add repeatable WoC quests (like they did for WiK) to earn weapons without having to take new characters through the whole quest chain; they need to update the HoM calculator accordingly; etc etc. I get the feeling it's just never going to happen.

And apart from that, my HoM currently has zero unobtained items in weapons and pets/heroes (and everything else except for 5 PvP titles). I consider my HoM "finished", and I'm done doing stuff for it. If they add new stuff, my monuments will suddenly become incomplete again. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd find that annoying.

It's because the live team moved to GW2.

you wouldn't be able to skip anything though. when they added oppressor weapons it just gave you more choices of weapons to add. it didn't take away the need for any title statue or pet statue. all it would do is give you an extra choice for that particular monument which already has a max amount of points assigned to it. i guess that matters though if you are only going for say 30/50 but if you want 50/50 you will still have to do them all anyway

Me and some of my friends would be extremely annoyed if we had to work on our hom again just get it back to 50/50, and i would imagine a lot of people would feel the same. Its done, im done with hom and have no intention of doing more on it.

They can add the new items if they want to, but dont rebalance the hom points for it because that would be insane.

Because they were added after HoM calculator, simple as that.

Because most of Arenanet working on Guild Wars 2 not updating Guild Wars 1. Maybe after Guild Wars 2 is released will get more GW1 updates. I'm still waiting for the new Mad King Thorn's court stuff we were supposed to get.

That's a rather poor excuse considering it isn't actually finalized yet.
