Curse

I think the most disappointing parts of HoM for me right now are the two everyone complains about: The random as-you-added-them order of monuments, and the lack of weapons allowed in the Valor monument. Since this has been traded over again and again and again, I will refrain and let past opinion speak for itself.

But how about the things about the HoM that totally rock? When I first enshrined my FoW armor for my Necro on the preview weekend, and saw this really crappy mini-monument that showed models for professions I never intended to get FoW for, I was furious. Then the game released, and I had a full-size model of my character wearing that armor. Granted, it doesn't keep the white trim that makes it look so bling when I'm wearing it, but my max-female-height Necromancer looked downright AWESOME.

Or how about the Conqueror trophies? I've gotten group after group together with my guild solely to get these, and we've ended up having a surprising amount of fun (Eternal Conqueror of the Fissure of Woe anyone?). These trophies encourage more people to go into the elite areas too, which is always good.

Or maybe the Skill Hunter trophies? Seeing a Shiro'ken, Palawa Joko, and a Mursaat bowing at my prowess is the reason why those 3 are shown permanently on my monument (lucky additions make it so I finish out with Legendary Skill Hunter and Legendary Guardian).

And I think that's the root of our complaints. So much of the Hall of Monuments TOTALLY OWNS, and it's blemished by a couple comparatively minor things. I know it'll cut down on GW2 programmers/artists/designers/developers, but please ArenaNet, make the Hall of Monuments what it should be.

bad points about HOM for me:

1. The Hero title track ( and all pvp titles for that matter ) - Just a plain map of the battle isles. I mean come on, this title is one of the most sort after titles in the game. Why not have a tiger r9+ and a pheonix r12+ etc? A gladiator for the glad title and so forth

Three things bug me about HoM:

arranging monuments- just let us choose what monuments go where, instead of "randomly" giving us the same setups again and again

Valor- More weapons, goddamit. At least let us put greens in there...

Fellowship- Needs to show our actual pet, instead of that stupid generic monument. Admiral Beak is a mighty Mountain Eagle, not a damn wolf, cat, or bear!

O_O That's one of the combos my monument offers.

the only pets other than wolf/cat/bear that display are phoenix, black moa, and spider. I was disappointed that there was no elite pet from NF to show and Factions gets two.

To the poster saying its no big thing. To those of us who are proud of our titles (that have no lives

) We want one simple thing. the chance to display them in the order we prefer. If you have skill hunter title and drunkard but could care less about the drunkard why display it.

About weapons: Why only destoyer? I have two weapons that I use all the time, my Nihils daggers and my Ironwing flatbow. I have had the bow for almost a year. I put a stormbow on another char because I liked my ironwing more. But I cant display it. Why would a person in real life display some junk POS if they dont like it instead of their prefered weapon/tool?

For our hero display, I hate Koss, with a purple passion, I hate having to random through until I get what I want displayed and avoid him. A simple check box for the people/creatures we have and then let us move them about, its that simple. Its not that big of a deal. Its not life changing. But it would make many if not most of us happy. And if i have spent the money on all 4 games instead of buying WoW or Everquest why shouldnt they take a small bit of time to make me happy?

PvP titles should have trophies with different sizes, depending on your rank, instead of just being active after reaching a rank.

For example, the Hero title trophy should be half a character (let's say 60cm) size in rank 1, and double a character size when rank 15 (3m,60cm).
