I'm wondering that too. There was armor from 6 different professions (some of each gender, even) in there...

That would mean there would be an unending supply of items left to decendants based on a one-time achievement of a title. That just does not make sense.

If I'm missing something, burn me to a crisp. I expect no less.

Bonus items. You can make as many as you want, but they're automatically customized. I don't think it would be unreasonable to expect something similar being gained from HoM.

did you miss the dev statement that they were being very careful that a maxed HoM would not give any unfair advantage over a new GW2 player?

for every special graphic skill you unlock from a HoM you can bet there will be a less special graphics effect skill with a different name that does exactly the same thing for everybody else.

you will not suddenly be priviliged lords overlooking all the noobs from the heights so this hissy fit is meaningless

LDoA and Survivor on the same character............right

You still had to achieve that on your account regardless of which character did it.

It's not a big deal with the minipets... at least we know it advance so it doesn't suprise us. You can just put in storage and move them over to one character. I don't see a problem. I always thought they should be cutomized to begin with actually.. most other games and mmos are already that way.

No need to bold everything. People can read the flaming part of your posts just fine without it.

Now in regards to the titles, considering he was complaining about HoM not being account based, why would you assume he meant these two completely incompatible titles on a single character?

I dont think you are missing anything, what you are is not understanding the contempt for the idea that it is toon based.

I have played the game for over 20 months, there was no survivor title back then and I died, big whoop. Then survivor title comes out after I have some much other emotional attachment and titles on my toon. What they are effectively saying is that i should delete my main toon and start over with a different toon. That’s insane. They are forcing you to choose to max titles on many toons or play just one.

A HOM that is toon based will rune playing experience for everyone. What people are thinking about is how the GW account will mesh with GW2, and the problem is even Anet doesn’t know. If your toon in GW2 can base their ancestry from any one toon in GW then why not allow a GW2 person to benefit from an entire account of GW.

Each toon in GW is forced to be part of the same guild and thus are related so a family of people should benefit from that.

Onarik Amrak · Aug 24, 2007, 01:52 AM // 01:52

Why on Earth would they do it like that?

First they go one way then another. It makes no sense that a minipet should be character based. All that means is people have to buy multiples of everything.

Think about this!

Factions CE came with ONE minipet. Kuunavang.
Nightfall CE came with ONE minipet. Varesh.
Your account can only obtain for you ONE Gray Giant and ONE Asura.

So how in the world are you supposed to give one each to your characters? WTF?

TideSwayer · Aug 24, 2007, 01:54 AM // 01:54

So is can we finally get a Survivor-ineligible consolation title for those characters who missed out? PLEASE?

Same requirements as Survivor, only it can happen on any particular life, not just the first one. And characters with Survivor maxed out (ie. Legendary) aren't eligible.

if he/she did not want to display them on the same GW2 character what is the basis for putting them in the account based inherite everything post?

if expecting them to be displayed on different GW2 characters what is the problem and why list them?

TideSwayer · Aug 24, 2007, 01:58 AM // 01:58

I'm worried about the storage ramifications if one character has to collect his/her own minipets. Do we have to store them in our character's limited inventory or can we store them in our hall of monuments?

No way in hell i'm wasting precious inventory slots for multiple minis on a character that I'm supposed to be using most of the time now. That's warped logic.

Gli · Aug 24, 2007, 02:00 AM // 02:00

Disappointing. I might as well turn all characters I made after my main into mules now if I want to make a nice HoM. And the nice HoM I will make won't have a survivor monument unless I redo the 19 max titles I have on my main. (Which isn't going to happen).

sindex · Aug 24, 2007, 02:01 AM // 02:01

So since I have 10 toon’s (with all the different professions) I have one HoM to each toon? It’s nice that you get a great amount of space for each HoM, but it is going to create a huge storage problem at the same time. I can see people trying to get multiple weapons, mini’s, and armor, that it’s going to hog up the storage they do have. Unless you are dedicated to one profession I can see this as a plus; but if you have multiple toons your HoM is going to look pretty empty for each one.

Performance Pudding · Aug 24, 2007, 02:05 AM // 02:05

i think that surviver and LDoA titles should be account based once gwen comes out since my war (title char) was made before titles existed. >.<

Molock · Aug 24, 2007, 02:06 AM // 02:06

What a ******* rip-off... it should be account based not character based...
THIS IS MADNESS!!! ANET I really didn't think you would mess up this bad.

People (like me) have 15k armors, titles, minis etc accross more than one character and it would be very nice if we could have a single monument to show off ALL our achievements. I am really disappointed at the moment.

«Ripskin · Aug 24, 2007, 02:07 AM // 02:07

HoM=Epic no matter what.

Everyone shush
Get over it
we always do

It'll be great for mini collectors 8)

Rhys · Aug 24, 2007, 02:07 AM // 02:07

Perhaps it won't be as bad as it sounds. Let's reserve our final judgement for another... 4 hours.

This is Sparta! Couldn't help it.

Anet must've seen this coming. No one is going to be happy about it.

The minipet debacle really is madness.

Achilles Antony · Aug 24, 2007, 02:12 AM // 02:12

I guess I can say it's good for me since I sell all my mini's... prices may go up now, yay for me... :S

Seriously though, I'm not too pleased about this. I was hoping it would be account based. Now, one character is gonna have a really nice hall, and my other ones will have a crap hall. Wonderful.

lyra_song · Aug 24, 2007, 02:12 AM // 02:12

I think minipets should affect all characters on an account's HoMs.

its the most fair, considering the special edition minis come only 1 per serial, not 1 per char.
