if its character based how did the guy in the EotN demo have more than one class of ascended armour in his Hall?

insane grind just got multiplied

Coridan · Aug 24, 2007, 12:41 AM // 00:41

i agree...i have used my primar toon a warrior to chase all titles...except for the Survivor and LDOA because IT WAS TOO LATE TO GET THEM! total BS...and Mini pets...TOTAL BS again...i mean come on there are 4 million users...what percent is 100 of 4Million...that is the percentage of people that will have rare pets...and not only that if they customize them then they will be worthless...so that means no RARE pets will be in HoM

GloryFox · Aug 24, 2007, 12:42 AM // 00:42

Insane Grind FTL!,

But Hey MINIPETS!,,,, but only for one character.

arcanemacabre · Aug 24, 2007, 12:44 AM // 00:44

Yeah, the only solace I get is the fact that the HoM is just an e-peen/vanity thing. Meh.

I think the better question is, do you expect yourself to do titles on each and every character?

AngeloM3 · Aug 24, 2007, 12:46 AM // 00:46

Ok here's a match and wood... let the flames begin...

but...

are we getting access to HoM during the preview?

Navaros · Aug 24, 2007, 12:47 AM // 00:47

Character-based means now more than ever, playing more than just one main character in Guild Wars is totally pointless.

HOM needs to be changed to be account-based.

No way. The only title i have other than the ones related to campaign completion/ect is sweet tooth on my rit. NOOOO way im doing that again on my other characters.

Sasuke The Betrayer · Aug 24, 2007, 12:48 AM // 00:48

If you read the chat log by the OP, Gaile says you WILL go to the HoM.

AngeloM3 · Aug 24, 2007, 12:50 AM // 00:50

Wow from that seems like its time to sell my minis....... that whole mini things is f'ed up!

Anyone know if your able to "un-do" a monument?

King Kong · Aug 24, 2007, 12:53 AM // 00:53

PLEASE NOTE THE OFFICIAL INFO FROM PREVIOUS DEV POSTS

YOU CAN RESERVE A NAME.................YOU DONT HAVE TO USE IT BUT IT IS THERE IF YOU REALLY WANT IT........OK SO FAR????

WHO SAID YOUR DESCENDANT HAS TO HAVE THE SAME NAME?

THE ONLY THING SAID WAS THAT YOU HAVE TO PICK A GW2 CHARACTER WHO WILL INHERITE THAT MONUMENTS CONTENTS.

EACH CHARACTER IN GW WHO CREATES A MONUMENT GIVES A DIFFERENT DESCENDANT A HERRITAGE

YOU WANT TO TRADE PETS FROM GW1 CHARACTER TO CHARACTER?...WAIT TO PUT IT IN THE MONUMENT FOR A YEAR OR TWO.

I fail to understand this at all. Having so many titles character based was already driving people to experience less and less of the games content by encouraging title-seekers to focus on a single character, making HoM character based rather than account based forces us more and more in that direction. Are they tired of selling us character slots or something?

Assuming there are players in the game who prefer to use multiple characters to play the different classes (I am one of them), why do they keep alienating that base of players with decisions like this? This is obviously a bad decision from a players point of view. Can anyone possibly see the upside for Anet? I cannot.

It seems that when this game started out, they were very player focused, and wanted to make the game easier to enjoy. I boasted to players of other games about how frequently the game was patched, as evidence of how player focused Anet was. Any more I am dreading each update. The Gladiator title change, for example, cost me thousands of faction points, as it lowered my faction cap. That, I am sure, was a simple mistake. But I no longer have any idea where Anet is trying to go with this game. As each change no longer makes things more enjoyable, but just the opposite.

Kushiels_Scion · Aug 24, 2007, 12:57 AM // 00:57

I would like to have a mini of a character of my choice (one of my own that is) in GW2. Perhaps they can add that into Hall of Monuments for your most accomplished character may get a mini of itself with the armors and weapons of choice that have been immortalized or whatever on the said mini as well. Not a mini for GW1 but for GW2 of a high accomplished GW1 character.

Curse You · Aug 24, 2007, 01:02 AM // 01:02

So basically this is saying, "You should work on one character." How encouraging, especially since the people who have as many characters as I do (12) have paid extra money. Nice way to "reward" those who decide to pay extra.

I hate you burst your bubble, but everything that isn't a max damage collector weapon or a set of 1.5k armour is just e-peen/vanity.

Welcome to Guild Wars PvE.

Rhedd · Aug 24, 2007, 01:04 AM // 01:04

Well... Gaile's revelation is certainly interesting news. If I put a mini in the monument, nobody else can even have it follow them around? Not only can I not sell them, which I wouldn't do anyway, but not even another of MY characters can play with it?

That just means that, by no means whatsoever, will I EVER be putting a minipet into the HoM.

No matter what.

Ever.

Nossir. Even though I've collected 27 unique pets, that'll be one darned empty monument.

Nice that they fixed the insanity of multi-character holiday hats, only to replace it a million-fold with mini-pet exclusivity.

Whee.

Did I mention, NEVER?

I made that suggestion. I guess we'll see if that is something that the designers want to do at some point in the future.

Now, I don't know that, and neither do you. In fact, the design team may not have made a decision about this. It's possible that you choose. For instance, in the lore, we say "The ancestor was Visu and the descendent is Nika." Maybe each player will have that same choice, to use the same name, or the make a new one and somehow bind the old character with the new one. Let me see if we have information about that in the future and I'll pass it along.

Yes, you will be able to visit the Hall. I do not think that you will be able to start building your monuments yet, however.

Yes, since they expect you to play only one character...
