One of my in game friends who has 3-4 leg survivors is going to be pissed.

Why is he going to be pissed?

Think about it this way, by the time his characters' decendents are born, the legendary survivor is already dead.

Seriously, Gaile.. please do let us know if there's any point to this grinding anymore?

Pretty much perfectly well said. Maxing out titles for this HoM thingy will be pointless if the only gratification u get is a little clickable thing. Like saraphim said, might as well scroll your mouse over the name.

<legendary vanquisher....and no credit...

Was looking forward to putting that into HoM. Very disappointed with the titles that we are allowed to display. Also not thrilled about the HoM and weapons. Only high end weapons from GW:EN can be added...no zodiacs or torments...

Hope they still working on adding to HoM before official release.

I spent last weekend wrapping up these titles, for 2 reasons:
1. Once GWEN is released it's going to be a lot harder finding ppl to help me gain them;
2. For the HoM

So, last weekend, I maxed Lightbringer, Tyrian Vanquisher, Elonian Defnder, and Legendary Defender.

And.....now this. Failure.

I won't buy GWEN until I know if this (and the many other HoM failures) are addressed. Simple as that. If Anet encourages grind then pulls this stunt, time to cut my losses.

That's why the subject of this thread and the OP asks about titles appearing anywhere in the Hall of Monuments, not just at the Monument of Honor.

Well I have Sweet Tooth title (2) and it is not showing ether.

EternalTempest · Aug 27, 2007, 02:27 PM // 14:27

I can see why Anet did this.

The recognize beating the 3 games, Pvp max rank titles, and Kinda of Big Deal which is any 3 titles maxed out.

Anet trying to balance what comes in. No matter what, everyone could be pissed. I kinda like the idea more that I think about it.

Hom looks like it merged the pve and pvp titles in one monument.

Well, I can tell you that LDoA doesn't get recognition either. I don't think any PvE titles get recognition at the current time, but I am hoping that once GWEN is actually released, they will add that feature to the HoM. My theory is that, since the titles monument doesn't need a tapestry, Anet wanted to make it impossible for it to be filled up straight away (which is why they chose PvP titles. I don't think that many people have maxed out those).

Well, I wouldn't have a problem with it being like this if we could actually have a display for kind of a big deal and beating the three games. I mean, I liked reading all that text about how great my character is the first time, but I'd much rather have some shiny monument there instead.

Also, I was kind of hoping that LDoA would get some recognition, simply because in GW2 I'm assuming we'll be going back to Ascalon. So it'd be kind of cool to get that recognition. But I think I'm more in favour of PvE titles in general getting some sort of recognition.

Vamis Threen · Aug 27, 2007, 03:12 PM // 15:12

Fail? You're at least two years premature, mate.

Other than it being a source of minor amusement that a PvE-only area is where a monument to mainly PvP titles exists, the HoM is currently not taxing my consciousness in any way.

It's work-in-progress, so save the carping till next week when it goes live. Or actually, til GW2 come out. And even then, your character won't actually lose any thing until the last GW server is turned off.

thezed · Aug 27, 2007, 03:44 PM // 15:44

I agree, there are a lot of shortfalls with the HoM, lack of PvE titles being one of them. But I think we, the player community, have risen enough of a fuss to send a clear message to Anet. Let's hope that, even if things are not better by release, the HoM will evolve more as we draw closer to GW2.

Gli · Aug 27, 2007, 04:41 PM // 16:41

I think it's ironic that the what we saw celebrates metagaming (collecting miniatures) and completely ignores actually playing the game (PvE titles).

Oh well.

GloryFox · Aug 27, 2007, 04:49 PM // 16:49

I find it interesting that PvP titles can be shown but not PvE titles for a PvE monument.

KEEP PVP TITLES OUT OF PVE ....

I can't belive they just figured this out with favor, then immediately turned around and placed emphasis on PvP in PvE zones again with the HoM.

I dont PvP hardly at all, don't care about Glad points but the HoM is forcing me to to get the full benifits this bites

At least when my Necro put in her Vabbian armor, a necro with vabbian armor appeared

Q. Hmm...why does HoM allow you to add legends for only PvP titles?
A. There is no "Maxed Title" track for PvP titles. "Kind of a Big Deal" is just the first level of that "Maxed Titles" title track. And it's hard to achieve with only PvP.

Q. Hmm...then why don't you add a "Maxed title" track for Maxed titles for PvP?
A. There are not enough tracks to make it worthwhile.

Q. Maybe...just maybe we can think differently here. How about this:

2 Maxed PvP titles: "I see Dead People"
4 Maxed PvP titles: "I still see Dead People"
6 or Maxed PvP titles: "Mom I am in a morgue!"

Jokes aside, I think HoM needs a lot of changes to make it worthwhile.

Hall of Monuments doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I actually find the whole thing quite idiotic and much ado about nothing.

Can somebody please explain to me why I can't display all of my stupid titles. Why am I limited to what I can show?

I'm not saying that every single accomplishment in GW1 needs to correspond to something in GW2. I could care less about GW2, it's 2 years away. If there was no benefit from HoM in GW2, I wouldn't care.

What I care about is going to the Hall of Monuments and looking at something to see all my GW accomplishments, instead of just looking at the "H" listing.

I don't care that people will think it's "E-Peen" (funny the first time, tremendously annoying now) to show off your accomplishments. Mostly I just want this so *I* can look at them, I don't care if nobody else ever sees them other than under my character's feet in towns and outposts.

Also, I know this thread isn't about this, but....customized to character mini pets? That is just dumb. I get why Anet is doing it and I agree with their reasoning, but there are better ways to address the problem. IMHO of course. Why does the customization need to occur in GW1? How about you just make anything that come out of HoM in GW2 customized? Only that character can use those weapons, minis, armor, etc. and nobody can sell them and make money. What possible difference does it make to anyone if a character in GW2 has access to all GW1 minis? If they are customized, and unsellable, and btw, lest we forget, you can only use one weapon, one mini, one set of armor at a time. Also, I would hope that GW2 will be so cool that I won't even miss the things I had in GW1. Nor will I waste my time bringing over "old news" stuff into this new game.

Big Thanks to Tarus From Taros, leprekan, Arcane Guardian, MeatAxe, Matrix, and Rahl for providing confirmation on the Max Titles not appearing in HoM. Hopefully A-Net is formulating some kind of response to this.

I know there has been much hun-bub about making HoM account wide. I'm cool with it being a character by character basis. Personally, I'm more concerned about recognition for challanging PvE accomplishments... it just doesn't seem to be there.
