Personally I don't care for a dumb hall where I can look at crap I used to have.

Everything will be automatically unlocked, it will take place at max level, everyone is on even ground even moreso than it is now. It will be all about the skills and the skill level of the players. Sounds to me like GW2 will have better PvP than GW1 does.

All this was in the May issue of PC Gamer. Sounds to me like you based your opinion on faulty info.

There will be two types of PvP available in Guild Wars 2; World PvP and Structured PvP.

World PvP
World PvP will allow you to play characters of any level, using the skills that you have in your possession at that particular time. It is intended to be a more relaxed bridging point between PvE and structured PvP. It will be on a larger scale than the original Guild Wars PvP with large battles which could take place over a long period with people coming and going. Each battle will have a number of different objectives which can be met such as taking guard towers or defending choke points or joining a larger battle to take a castle. Battles will take place in the Mists. According to the Gamespy interview, there will be 4 factions players can belong to fighting against each other, as well as a 5th faction representing a common enemy. Whether players can switch allegiance is currently unknown, but likely.

Structured PvP
Structured PvP is similar to today's GvG. It will allow you to enter the game at maximum level with all skills, races, items and classes automatically unlocked.

Some titles but I don't have any maxed titles - I'm kind of with Pamelf on that. I have a lot of mastered mish's so I'll probably work on some Protector titles and maybe Max Explorer titles before GW2.

A lot of minis but only from specials and presents... I haven't heard anything definitive on how they will be included but I'm hoping that they will count whether I still have them or not.

Max heros and campaigns. I have 4 or 5 max lvl characters but I don't think anyone knows if that matters. But they all have the same surname so maybe that'll be worth something as far as heritage concerns.

I have a lot of green and event weapons but those probably won't count until EoTN.

I've never been an armor person [except wishing for decent Para armor LOL.] Since the HoM was announced though, I've looked at 15k armors and there will be several cool ones I'll get.

How does this inheritence thingy work? What if you only concerntrate on 1 primary character but have 4 playable chars in total?

Example
Your primary character has 20 titles, fow , full heros , full skill , weapons ,full set of minis pets etc.

But the other 3 characters are normal ascended characters with 1 title each .

When inhereting your pass achievements will they take the best character or will they average out your achievements amoungst the four characters you own?

Kurald Galain · Aug 20, 2007, 10:56 AM // 10:56

Nothing i am focusing on atm. When i know more about how exactly the HoM will work and what and what does not count i might start focussing on something.

Exactly, World PvP (Big AB's/PvP zones like WoW), and Structured PvP. The way they have written about Structured PvP is that it will be SIMILAR to GvG, but not GvG. All other PvP is gone. So we get 'World PvP' which will be full of noobs, basically like merging AB and RA, and 'Structured PvP' which doesn't sound at all like it will be like GvG. Just that it will have 8 per side, not some huge number.

Well since tameable pets will be in the hero and companion section I might have a go at taming all pets in the game.

I'm trying to master everything while I fail everything.

WinterSnowblind · Aug 20, 2007, 11:27 AM // 11:27

I'm not really going out of my way to do anything. I think this is a great feature, but I doubt any of the rewards in GW2 will be anything that fantastic. I'd rather hear more about what's going to happen in GW2 before really trying to fill up my hall. I have a few sets of armour, some titles and quite a few mini-pets. But most of what I'm doing is for my characters in GW1 and not just for the Hall of Monuments.

I do plan on getting some new Ranger pets for a lot of my characters though, which may have something to do with it..

No offence fenix, but... huh? First you say that it sounds like it will be similar to GvG, then nothing at all like GvG. Short term memory loss in the space of writing 3 lines of text?

Trying to find the link - but I am almost 100% certain that they said that ONLY GWEN weapons will count for the HoM.
Khmm - maybe it was in one of the movies .... ?

source: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Hall_of_Monuments
According to information pieced together from online sources, the Hall of Monuments will contain 5 monuments:

* The Monument of Fellowship contains big statues of your unlocked hero companions and pets.
* The Monument of Devotion shows little statues of your minipets and collectibles.
* The Monument of Honour shows your titles and accomplishments, including finishing a campaign.
* The Monument of Valour displays unlocked high-end weapons obtained from the Eye of the North expansion.
* The Monument of Resilience shows all your ascended armour sets.

Yes i believe alot of players wil be focused on the Hall but i also believe only players planning on getting GW2 will as other will rather not concern themselves well i have 2 minipets of low Value Necrid Horseman and Temple Guardian also 1 Set of 15k Primevel and 1.5k set of Kurzik armor though im not shure how many armours can be showed at the hall and how mane per profession. With knowladge of that i believe i will buy more Armors for my 1 out of 2 Chars Probabaly set from each Comp and GWEN as for titls yeah its a big deal though some hard to get and others involves alot of money which i dont have But than again 1nc i get all out of Gwen than maybe i wil focus on Titls hard to get Either way YES i am gonna focus most of my time of Hall of Monuments

The Herbalizer · Aug 20, 2007, 12:22 PM // 12:22

Titles: -
All elite skill, cartography, protector, guardian, lucky, unlucky, sweet, drunk, chest titles maxed out.

Items: -
Owning every GWEN skin with R9 purely because they can be put in HOM apparently.

Armour: -
Making all my characters look nice for HOM. Will need to buy more slots so can have one of every profession.

Mini Pets: -
Owning them all bar the stupidly expensive ones (Panda, Kanaxi, Zhed, Vizu, Assassin, Island Guardian, Rollerbeetle)

Alot of work but I will definately do it all my the time GW2 is released and I will be able to unlock really cool stuff.

Would be nice if Anet say let us take our 5 favourite weapons from Proph, Factions and NF to be displayed in the HOM as some of my weapons have alot of sentimental value.

I'm just playing normally, dont really know enough about the hall to waste any time or money on it.

If minipets are gonna be a large part of the hall i expect anything thats limited edition will have to be changed.

Ghost Omel · Aug 20, 2007, 01:51 PM // 13:51

Yes i believe only Ascended armors isnt fair either some popele want thei r1k or 1.5k to be displayed as a honoroble remembarance well i know i wasnt My Kurz to be displayed there i did pass 2 Compaings with it especialy my boots it passed half Proh as well so they really should make all armors no matter the price be shown there

Shakkara · Aug 20, 2007, 02:04 PM // 14:04

15 max titles
30 minipets (I dont like minipets but I hoarded them just for the HoM)
2 elite armors (got more but not complete sets because I mix&match)

Trying to put as many weapons and shields in there as possible, every time I come across a gold one I dont have yet I keep it for the HoM in case I can put them in there. Got all rare sword skins and most shields.

Lord Feathers · Aug 20, 2007, 02:09 PM // 14:09

So pets will be included in the Heroes sections as well ? I had forgotten that or completely missed that. That sounds like something I'll be gathering up as well then.
