Dev Update - 10 September 2008

Hall of Monuments

We are releasing the previously announced changes to the Hall of Monuments in two stages. The first stage lets players enjoy adding their accumulated Tormented Weapons to the Monument to Valor [sic] sooner than otherwise. Support for this first stage is expected to release in October's scheduled content update. At this time, there is no expected release date on the remaining account-wide changes to the Hall of Monuments.

Hm, I'm mostly waiting for the change to account wide. I guess I'll have to wait then...

With the price of Diamonds and Onyx Gemstones plummeting below 700 gold, I am better off doing what you said: Buy enough Destroyer weapons.

I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, but 505 posts is far too much for me to read through.

So I understand that the Hall of Monuments will be account based, but I'm not exactly sure what this all entails. My warrior has tier 3 KoaBD, and I understand that it should appear as that for all of my character's Hall of Monuments, but will all of my characters be able to display KoaBD? Like I'd like to work on titles on other characters, but if it doesn't count towards my KoaBD title, then it doesn't seem worth it.

Shayne Hawke · Sep 12, 2008, 01:16 AM // 01:16

Having Tormented weapons in the HoM is fine, but until Armbraces crash again, I'm not really one to care about getting any. Meanwhile, the price for making Destroyer weapons is going down, down, down.

I'm sure this is strictly HoM, so no I don't think your other characters can display the KoaBD title.

SpiritThief · Sep 12, 2008, 11:58 AM // 11:58

I hope all the titles become account and not just adding them to HoM. Would freshen the game if you can play on any character instead of still being stuck with one.

But I think its just HoM, so all of your characters in GW2 can use the bonuses.

w00t! · Sep 12, 2008, 05:24 PM // 17:24

Anyone have any ideas on how weapons, armor, and minis will work? Will they stack, so that I can spread my destroyer weapons across several characters instead of just customizing them for one toon?

BenjZee · Sep 12, 2008, 06:45 PM // 18:45

no need to stack, theres just gunna be one HoM which shows every accomplishment (if u choose to veiw account based). The KOABD title doesnt have its own statue although the beacon will proably be character-based. Yeh its probably best to spread em across account really then u get to fill each individual character and the account. Buy the armors which suits different professions is what im doing likewise with weapons , now my monk doesnt need a destroyer scythe as my dervish can make one.

Heloniar · Sep 12, 2008, 07:13 PM // 19:13

I want the beacon to be account based. 30 titles is just a pain, and if you earned that thern you as the owner and player in the HOM should have the beacon in account wide HOM

Actually it's 25 for the beacon straight up, and 20 if you have a human guest in your full HoM.

Nessar · Sep 12, 2008, 07:20 PM // 19:20

I really really REALLY hope the titles become account based >< Grinding on one char gets so boring after 13 maxed titles. Ima be optimistic and hope that happens..although the chance is .0001% ._.

with the light coming out of it?

thought you had to have r6 for the full effect

Devina Fava · Sep 13, 2008, 12:06 AM // 00:06

The problem I'm facing at the moment, and I imagine I can't be the only one at the moment, is that I'm not really sure how the "account wide" changes are going to actually work, which means that at the moment, I'm not really any better off than I was before the announcement.

To be clear, I don't need the account wide changes now; but having a better idea of how they work would be so useful. For example, do I still have to keep ID'ing items on the same character? For now because I have no idea, to be on the safe side, I still have to keep doing everything exactly the same way as before.

Anet's stated goal behind these changes is to allow more freedom of play, so that players wouldn't feel discouraged from playing multiple characters. At the moment the fuzziness means that I'm still essentially constructively forced into playing the one character, because I have no idea if for example max titles on my other characters will count towards KoaBD, whether KoaBD actually means anything in the GW2 scheme of things, etc.

Got no problems with the tormented weapons - in that situation they told us, the information was immediately useful; I started saving gems and tormented weapons, and the others are absolutely right that it's better they told us, and I'm happy to wait for the update.

I'm happy to wait for the account changes too, just that I don't feel that the pre-announcement has helped me in any way without further information; YMMV.

Vilaptca · Sep 13, 2008, 02:52 AM // 02:52

It's just for the HoM they've never said anything about changing the titles themselves to account-based.

So really you still have to ID everything on one character, drink everything on one character, etc, but I think once you put it in the HoM, then the STATUE for the title is available to all characters. Not the title itself, just the statue.

FengShuiDove · Sep 13, 2008, 03:36 AM // 03:36

Again, please please please please PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make Destroyer/Tormented weapons say "Dedicated" instead of "Customized." Seriously. Seriously.

Looking forward to the update though, especially curious how account wide armor monument will go.

Right now I am only interested in knowing why it takes so long? What problems arose? In 11 days it is 3 months after their announcement to change to account wide! And from the newest statement it will not be finished before November.

I agree with this. The timing of the changes is not important. The timing of the knowledge transfer to players is vital. The sooner that the rules of the game are clear, the sooner players can exercise greater freedom in how they play.
