Hall of monuments as sollution for Cutscenes
Since the well allready holds allot of the cutscenes for EotN, could the other cutscenes from other campains please be added to the monument.
The current cutscenes rather helped me pick up on the EotN story after RL took over for a couple of weeks, it could well help me on other campains aswell ...
And sometimes you wanna watch a good movie, but there is nothing on TV, watching 'a movie' in which you actually play(ed) a part would have my interest.
Also not all people like the long cutscenes, other people realy do like them; So perhaps finishing a mission with limited/to no cutscenes (for the non likers) could unlock a 'page' or episode to be watched in the hall of monuments (for those that do like them) ...

This 'takes care' of PvE ideas from sticky list:
- Unlocking cutscenes/movies for later viewing
- Skipping end-mission cutscenes

Hall of monument display options
Altho i do not have 15k armor, my armor stuck with me since i reached the lvl requirements to wear max normal armor, made pieces black and it is the Armor that belongs to my Character by now; In my view this armor is worth more then 15k

Why cant i just display it in my Hall of monuments? It does not have to count towards anything (if having all the monuments activated by the correct items gives something special) .. but having nothing displayed or not being able to display the armor set that i want to wear makes me kind off sad, when im in my hall..

Same goes for personal weapons i prefer to use, the weapons that belong in the stands might be better and/or collecting them should count for something; the weapons in my hands though, are the weapons of my character, and i would like to display them...

I completely agree. I love watching the cinematics and it's annoying to have to play through a hard mission to watch one. I make videos and lots of them feature cinematics. So this would be nice.

As for the armor and weapons in HOM, I think any armor should be allowed to be displayed. Why is that only the 10k+ ones can be displayed? So what, you paid more. Doesn't mean it's any better, it just looks different. And while we're at it, we should be allowed to display Deldrimor armor too. I love all Deldrimor armor but because it's not an actual "set", we can't. So...make it a set. lol

I agree, but for a different reason and it doesn't necessarily have to be added to the Hall of Monuments. I think all cutscenes should be watchable from an NPC for each campaign because disconnections are a very prevalent problem during loads for cutscenes causing them too not to play.

about the cinematics that wouldnt bother only show the ones you got the chapter for. as for the armor no common sets just the elite ones they shouldnt lose the prestige of the hom but yes the deldimor set should be in there

Another thread on this eh?

I would just link my thread on this, but I can't use search. So...

I agree with the concept of saving cinematics to be replayable at any time. But I disagree with forcing players to use the Hall of Monuments. Why? Because it means you must have EotN or you cannot replay cinematics.

What I say should be done is to instead use 3 existing NPCs in the other campaigns - change their purpose a tiny bit. The three NPCs I propose are:

Vision of Glint
Master Togo in Tahnnakai Temple (after beating the campaign, that means)
and the Seer of Truth.

Same concept as the Scrying Pool, just different NPCs which doesn't limit everyone to having to buy EotN.

I was leaning more on "You need to beat the campaign before you're allowed to view past cinematics"

If that isn't the case, then Prince Mehtu the Wise and Kuunavang or Vizu are better NPCs for Factions/NF.

Well, in EotN you get the replay after the second outpost, in a small area that is easy to load.

So, the best choices for existing areas would be small explorable areas with no monsters and easy to reach:
- Lion's Gate in Prophecies.
- Linnok Courtyard in Factions.
- Consulate in Nightfall.
