What Senrath said because he's smarter.

There were a number of factors involved in the decision. Only full weapon cycles were considered which rules out a huge number of options. Of what was left, it was important that the weapons that are put into the HoM were valuable enough to warrant the prestige which rules out a whole lot more. IF the Zodiac set was a full set then it could be considered for inclusion, however getting Zodiac weapons isn't that hard, it's getting ones that are perfect that is the difficult part. Adding things to the HoM at this point is tricky technically because of the way the data needs to be stored and how it transfers to GW2. - Image:User Linsey Murdock sig.jpgLinsey talk 21:59, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

: from dictionary.com "prestige: reputation or influence arising from success, achievement, rank, or other favorable attributes." It's not a stretch that prestige in games would be equated with rarity which in most games comes hand in hand with expense. The reason we can't use generic green weapons is because there are hundreds of them. - Image:User Linsey Murdock sig.jpgLinsey talk 22:41, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

That pretty much sums up why regular greens and whatnot are not used in the HoM. They can be, but then the idea of "prestige weapons" would be shattered.

Back on topic: As said, it's expected, but it probably will be added. But it doesn't matter, as very few people (apparently now) don't care about tormented.... I wonder what changed their minds. Anyways, I like the new update for the Valor, but it doesn't affect me (and yes, I was one of those who did, and still does, want the Tormented weapon in the HoM update).

well maybe it's because DOA isn't as accessible anymore >.>

some tormented stuff is cool, but if they add another rack of 11 stands I'll scream! :P

OP: Nice attempt to drive up the price of all the braces/tormented weapons you've been snatching up, but it won't work. You can thank the VS farm for that. Now everyone and his pet monkey can fill the Valor monument with stuff they've already got in their box from farming! (Yay, another 2 Onyx drop. Woo!)

This is about the only way that you'd see an increase in Tormented prices. I sincerely hope ANet isn't that cruel.

If that happens, I may personally send about 100 emails to support and start 20 daily QQ threads. Just so they add more weapons. Because at that point, I won't care if starter weapons get added.

how much of the HoM ging account-wide is true?
cause that would screw up the choise between survivor and LDOA

Its honestly hard to say since we don't know what will actually be implemented. You can read about it here yourself and take what you will from it.

bcwagner · Oct 04, 2008, 01:46 PM // 13:46

IMO HoM should go account wide. I haven't used any of my other 8 chars, just because I have been grinding with my ele to build up my HoM...(then I realize, why am I getting titles...oh yeah, becuase of the unknown reason why HoM is related to GW2...boy am I dumb).

Sorry for Venting

dilan155 · Oct 04, 2008, 02:06 PM // 14:06

i couldn't care less about tormented items tbh, im sure there are people rich enough to fill their HoM with full tormented items, but im not and i know a lot of people arent, the account HoM thing would've been much more important, but w/e its something new at least.

Ahh well, I was just guessing (wasnt a big enough deal for me to research

) as it would have seemed a lot of work. From Linseys comments though, makes me think how great a full set of Zodiacs would be - To add a the missing Zods to the end chest in the Deep(and Urgoz?) along with a Kurz/Lux faction reward would be great and make me wander back down there again.

Zehnchu · Oct 04, 2008, 04:39 PM // 16:39

It will be funny to see all the cries about the Tormented Weapons in GW2. The funniest will be all the one’s of why it’s customized, thus squashing all those who thought they would profit in gw2 for selling it.

Tender Wolf · Oct 04, 2008, 04:43 PM // 16:43

Woot! Finally! I bought a Tormented bow just for that, and was so mad when they wouldn't let us add them yet. I did finally get a Destroyer bow, but I like the Tormented skin better.

I'm also looking forward to the account-wide update, but I'm definately happy with the Tormented weapons too. I just hope that this "expected" update does happen when it says.

Don Doggy · Oct 04, 2008, 08:03 PM // 20:03

I'm not really interested I don't really like Tormented weapons.

Too bad this won't be changed after torment weapons are added.

Same here. They sould have done the updates the other way around. I'm willing to bet that once Tormented weapons can be added, some people will add them on ONE character's HoM, just to fill the shrine, not knowing the HoM will be account-wide later on, and then when the second HoM update goes live, they'll start QQ-ing about the fact that they now have 10 useless customized weapons and 1 (or 2) they can use, while they could have customized their weapons for each character they have.

But hey, at least they're working on the HoM. I also hope I get my prediction points friday.

oh and BMP weapon skins are SO nice, especially the Tengu ones, but alas, not really "prestige". I'd love to add all of those ^^
