Complete speculation, and highly unlikely. There will be some kind of point system for items (title statues, armor sets, etc.) in the HoM. We don't know anything yet about how the points will be allocated or what they can be spent on, except that rewards will give no gameplay advantage.

Mines pretty much full besides the weapons.

Essence Snow · Sep 11, 2010, 04:54 PM // 16:54

I cant imagine that there wold be any greater award for a 100% full HoM than a displayable full HoM. I only know of 1 person that has it 100% full (a known duper back in the day) and giving them extra rewards would just be wrong.

That's definitely speculation. Maybe a title to show you played the orginal Guild Wars.

What are you talking about? My HoM is full. If you mean all the titles, minipets ect. Well that just isn't possible...

No one out there has max all pvp titles.

Charlie Dayman · Sep 11, 2010, 05:30 PM // 17:30

If it does turn out to be some sort of armor/weapon set, I can only imagine it working something like Heirloom items in WOW. You can wear them at the earliest levels and they only increase in stats when you reach higher levels.

Again, that's just pure speculation if the bonus would be gear. Not really sure what to expect, and at this point I really don't care. I'd just like to hear some info on it already.

jazilla · Sep 11, 2010, 05:35 PM // 17:35

I fully expect the HoM info to be coming out next week. If not, I don't want to ever see a dev type, "VERY SOON" in all caps. It'll be a month since he said that if it isn't revealed next week.

Remember not all titles have to be maxed to be displayable. i.e. Zaishen is displayable at r3 so forth and so on. The outrageous one to completely fill is mini pets.

**cosyfiep** · Sep 11, 2010, 06:44 PM // 18:44

yes filling your hall is not very hard if you play the game thru.
If you do the challenge missions you will probably get an armor or 2 for your heroes--only need 5 (if you have all chapters you get mox as a free hero needing no armor for that monument so you would only need 4).
minis---you get one for each character per birthday...have a few older characters you should have a zoo by now---or white ones are easily (1st and 2nd) available for like 1 plat or less each.
getting 5 accomplishments---again, finish all 3 chapters get the bonuses/masters and that will give you 3 right there. Finish eye and turn in your hero book and dungeon book should get you close to one of the eye faction titles.....(and then the 5th...pft carto of factions is fast and pretty easy).
getting the armor is all about money, as well as the weapons---which if you did all those dungeons in eye will have netted you quite a few onyx and diamonds (its all I seem to get from the end chests

)

so it shouldnt be all that difficult to fill out all 5 monuments. Getting gwamm would be--and we still have no idea WHAT (if any) perk it will offer.

Oh ya, brain fart. But ya, minipets are next to impossible to get all of them though...

remember that you only need to fill the mini pet monument(20 minis) for it to be considered "full". you don't get a single thing for going over that limit in relation to it being full. same goes for the weapon stand you dont need 10 tormented and ten destroyer weapons to fill it. you just need 10 total.

Yep thats true but I still feel that if you add for example more minis in the devotion monument you will get more points for that monument to use in GW2, this is just my opinion not a fact. The points system is a fact we just dont know yet how it will be utilized.

I know. I meant getting ALL of the minipets (which what Snow was referring too).

I think that the more minis you add will grant you more points, but I don't see how that isn't fair. They worked for more so they are rewarded more.

Again, not that it matters to me. But it's just a matter of fact that what you put in is what you get out. Not directly of course, but more points should definitely be rewarded for excess HoM completion (such as a the full destroyer AND tormented weapon sets in your hall)

So you should be rewarded more points for having more money than someone else? No one worked for minis. There is no farm/grind to get minis. It's a gift you get on your birthday or you buy them from other players. Why should you be rewarded for having more than a full Mini Monument, when there is no work at all involved in getting them? The only mini you have to work for is the Mini Moa. And even that is easy to get.

Like I stated in an earlier post, Anet already said your points for your rewards are based off a full HoM. So going overboard is going to net you nothing.

Yes people worked for minis. People don't just get them on their birthday, they grind/farm for plat which they use to pay for the minis themselves. Secondly, once upon a time tournament winners were rewarded with minis. I believe the Mini Kanaxai is one such example. These tournament winners mostly did indeed work/earn this. Some minis were given out in magazines like Destroyer and some were exclusive to certain countries, such as the Mini Panda.

Other than the ones given by birthdays or given by magazines, there were plenty of mini's that people worked tirelessly for, such as the Ghostly Hero, or farmed tirelessly to have enough money to purchase. This is no different in farming for money to pay for party animal/sweet/drunk/obby and elite armor/destroyer weapons/tormented weapons.

Again, those who put more effort into filling their HoM, should have more points for that. And if you feel this way about minis, I'm really interested in how you feel about special benefits for people who have earned GWAMM for their HoM

To the people speculating about Weapons and Armor..... Remember that most of this is (hopefully) going to be purely asthetic.

In all honesty, I would much rather it be this way, why? Because asthetics are the only thing that will be timeless. If for my accomplishments in GW1 I was awarded a weapon at the start of GW2 that only was useful up until level XX that would be a pretty lame trinket to symbolize my GW1 time, especially since no one is expecting that GW1 players will get awtfmassivedmgpwn weapon after all.

At least if its a very very cool weapon skin, or armor skin, I can be admired by others for my accomplishments without having to have such a gameplay advantage for them, and I think thats all we would like to have. Just to be recognized and for people to say wow, that guy mustve been a pretty decent GW1 veteran.

Who knows, I'm hoping we might be able to unlock very neat weapon skins/armor skins that will end up working similar to the costume maker in GW1, WITH the addition of an armor/weapon "reskinner" in the game. That would be enough to make me happy.

I lold.

First of all, having money doesn't only apply to the minipets. You also have to buy the armor, the weapons, the hero armor and even some titles.

Second, if you use some common sense it's not difficult to understand how it will work. You will probably get points for eveything you put in your HoM, which means that "going overboard" will indeed give you more points to spent.

This concept isn't difficult to crasp cause every muppet can buy 20 white minpets, 5 hero armor (or less with MOX and the animals...), get 5 easy titles, 5 armor and 11 destroyer weapons.

It would be ridiculous if somebody like that would get the same as someone who has 30+ titles and a lot of other stuff.
