I want players to get maybe a trophy they can show in their guild hall or on their armor (such aas a medal) or a cutsomized minipet/weapon. I don't think it's fair that the old-school players can start the game out "WTS: Miniautre Balthazer YOU CAN ONLY GET IT IF U WERE r6KAOBD! 100k+5000 Dyes!" I loved the idea of GW2 for the fact that those that started late (i haventr even palyed fofr 2 years yet) can start over! Instead of rejoining an MMO, poor, unwanted in PvP(unranked), and having to play mannnny hours just to save up for something someone got for free, like a birthday present.

I got the feeling that the rewards would be customized to the player only so, no selling or trading at all

unkleanone · Aug 28, 2008, 05:31 PM // 17:31

there would also be no point in trying to sell any of that stuff because pretty much everyone will be broke for quite a while.

Um. I can already now in GW1 create an unlimited amount of decent if not stellar max stat weapons just by typing one word, and ANet doesn't consider it to be an unfair advantage over those who can't. How should GW2 be any different?

A:There isn't any word on this. Anything you get from OGW won't give you a permanent advantage over new GW2 players. Basically, expect cosmetic stuff with stats that new GW2 players will be able to achieve by playing GW2

woohoo for HoM title grinding

it kinda seems a waste, all that work for what? 10 hours of using the armor? hmm no i don't think that'd happen.

Firstly. Nobody would have that kind of money to buy such items with at the start of a whole new game.

Second. It has been stated that yuo can fill the HoM at any time after gw2 release so those gw2 only players could always purchase the origional gw and then fill a HoM.

We're sorry that you feel you need the advantage over new players in the new game due to what you did in the old game. They always said the rewards would be cosmetic.

Actually, I think it's quite the opposite - after GW 2 release, you can't get HoM any more.

No. They already said the HoM would remain open.

no
Not what I meant. I meant what happens if you like the skin? What then? I don't give a fig about stats since GW isn't about stats anyway.

Mister_Smiley · Aug 28, 2008, 06:21 PM // 18:21

its also been stated that the HOM will not give a adavantage in GW2 which most likey means that they will be customized items or something. Also stated that after GW2 goes live that at some point the offers for the HOM will no longer be valid, but that could mean 1-2 years later or something.

Don't forget that most of these are just theories that we are putting togeather.

recheck the wiki FAQS

HOM is still open after GW2's release

You dont care about the stats but you dont like that the item which you might like will have stats only useable for about "10 hours"? say they do give a new skin of armor on the basic level of starter armour...since you dont care about that stats you could just keep it when you get some new armour.

cthulhu reborn · Aug 28, 2008, 06:25 PM // 18:25

Well in a recent developer update about the HoM they said that the HoM will have a char mode and an account mode and that your new chars in GW2 can each get all the benefits from the HoM.
I expect skins and nothing more, but hey, that's cool with me.

yep that's it in a nutshell and what if you get a really cool looking armor, complete with wings and an halo, a giant glowing sword with a shield of light which a limited amount of people that plays can ever get with crappy stats , would you rather use that or something that looks rather drab compared to it simply because it's superior in stats and therefore, better for GW2's endgame?

lol. as long the skin looks good and the weapons function like max

what's the point in having "Unique" if you can't kill a mergoyle with it without using any skills?

I challenge people to go through the game using only starter weapons and armor

Damian979 · Aug 28, 2008, 06:42 PM // 18:42

Lol, I'm just messing with you Heloniar. I like my gear to look cool too, just with out any idea of what the "rewards" are going to look like or whether I will like them, I can't see frantically trying to fill my HoM.

Yes i would use the "drab" armour. For two reasons - not wanting to look like a lightbulb with wings and wanting to actually play Guild Wars 2 rather than Fashion Wars. Walking into an end game area with basic starter level armour just because you want to look good is not recommended.

isamu kurosawa · Aug 28, 2008, 06:49 PM // 18:49

I wouldn't be suprised if anet added one of the things alot of people wanted in gw. town Clothes/accessories. Purely cosmetic items.
