Sweet, overall not a bad way of dealing with the issue. After a few hours of horsetrading I got my 50/50. Seems like all issues were resolved successfully. perma-pre LDoA never got a back door to the HoM, but with this system it really isn't necessary, but would still be nice. Anet actually did a good job with the HoM.

Do these accomplishments need to be displayed to be counted? So for example you need several characters to fill 50/50?

No, they just need to be recorded in your HoM - on any character.

My primary character nearly has GWAMM minus a few titles but the site's only recording a few.

I got:
Eternal Skillz
activeEternal Gladiator
activeEternal Protector of Tyria
activeEternal Savior of the Luxons
activeEternal Protector of Elona
activeEternal Legendary Skill Hunter
activeEternal Survivor
activeEternal Hero of Cantha
activeEternal Hero of Elona
activeEternal Conqueror of Sorrow's Furnace
activeEternal Conqueror of the Deep
activeEternal Conqueror of Urgoz's Warren
activeEternal Conqueror of the Fissure of Woe

13 titles

I definitely have a lot more. What's up with this?

*Darcy* · Oct 10, 2010, 02:15 AM // 02:15

Have you gone to the HoM with the character who has achieved the Cartography titles and recorded them? The game does not automatically add titles to your HoM. You have to manually tell the HoM that you want it displayed.

NeNe · Oct 10, 2010, 02:24 AM // 02:24

Anyone has an idea of how recent the elite area completion must be so that it could be added to the HoM achievements?

I remember doing Urgoz, Deep and DoA (yes, killed Mallyx) back then before EotN was released. Now when I returned and completed EotN and went to the HoM in order to add my achievements there, the game doesn't recognize me having done those things. It does recognize all other things of course, just those elite areas are uncounted.

Hobbs · Oct 10, 2010, 02:24 AM // 02:24

They have to have been completed since the EoTN was released.

I won a mini panda once in an art contest. I've never been able to afford to buy such a rare pet, though people seeing him assume I'm rich. So while I kind of like that the ridiculously high prices may not be maintained for rare pets in GW1, (so that I may hope to buy more for my collection) I'm also quite disappointed that I won't be able to take my panda along to GW2 with me. I held off dedicating him to see what the GW2 rewards might be like, but now I think he may have the same monetary value in GW1 whether I dedicate him or not. Actually, I don't really care about his monetary value, but it seems odd that a rare pet like a panda won in a contest should have the same value in terms of GW2 rewards as a mini Shiro bought in game for 25K gold.

So I'm now hoping that like a "God Walking" title, my panda might become a GW2 reward separate from the points system. Or perhaps that people like me who won pets, rather than bought them (since gold sources are sometimes suspicious), get some recognition for that achievement in GW2.

Now that I'm looking at the rest of the titles, I'm starting to wonder if they'll allow you to select the earlier titles even though you've reached the full 30/30 points. I really wouldn't mind keeping that "Rift Warden" title.

You can, according to the HoM Calc FAQ, use any of the titles you have earned. So someone with 50 points will get access to 10 titles inherited from the HoM at the start of GW2.

Oh awesome! I didn't realize there was a faq on the main page. Thanks a lot for the info. That Rift Warden title is sounding pretty good to me right now.

7/50. i clearly don't title grind like the rest of you

Kosar The Cruel · Oct 10, 2010, 06:40 AM // 06:40

I must say I love this HoM Calculator. Gave me something to do the past couple days and will probably continue to give me something to do for a bit. ^.^
I love the way Anet did the rewards. Nice to see they put some thought into the rewards and have a nice balance(?) for the rewards for the casual and hardcore gamers.

37/50 - Soon to be 40/50
Love ya Anet. lol

Populism FTW. Anet always goes forward to please the majority, but no rewards for dedicating Asian minis is just a spit in the face of those more dedicated gamers imo.
But how can we blame anet? it all for the money, innit, and it's the mob that pays not the dedicated players

Ninja Ninja · Oct 10, 2010, 11:22 AM // 11:22

I got 50/50 woot

the Puppeteer · Oct 10, 2010, 11:35 AM // 11:35

hah just came back after 9 months of not playing and saw this update

im at 27/50 with 0 minis in the hom area xD
opened my 4th year present and bam eye of janthir ^^
only 1 gold mini for the magic 30 :P

btw - the prices for that vabbi armor are ridiculous

- now who's laughing for getting one when they were ugly

and - does anyone know if the armor rewards from HOM will scale with level in GW2? or are they only for the lower lvls

Reflect · Oct 10, 2010, 11:37 AM // 11:37

50/50

What dedication? Correct me if i'm wrong but to get an asian mini you have to:

Get lucky
Grind like a crazy bitch and/or obtain via some sort of expoilt
From a game contest

You've recieved your reward, you got the mini.

I'd rather anet not spend time making an item in gw2 that a person can only obtain via dedicating one of these asian mini's or any other rare mini.

On a side note i'm amazed how more active my allience and others has become now people arn't speding all their time alone being title bitches. They actually want to do stuff with the guild now instead of +1'in a title

Lest121 · Oct 10, 2010, 12:16 PM // 12:16

I completed DoA and Urgoz, but i think it was done before GWeN was released so it didn't count for my HoM.

Well the richest of the rich in GW (or any other online game with an economy) acquire most of their income by buying low from players, then selling high to players - an activity known as power-trading. It's true that power-trading requires some skill to be very good at, but basically anyone who can stomach the action and dedicate some time to it can make a lot of money by simply trading. And this is currently about the only way (save for bot-farming, duping, and real-life transactions) to acquire enough funds to buy rare miniatures in-game.

I don't think ArenaNet wants to reward power-trading, therefore these rare miniatures do not have any special value associated to them in the HoM.
