Curse

A few things have been troubling me with the armor display in the Hall of Monuments.

1. there is only one dye for every armor piece you display.

example: I have Ancient Ele armor and Vabbian ele armor for a female displayed in there, Ele armor looks good with the orange dye, but vabbian looks good on her with black since the outline is orange, but when i dyed the vabbian armor black, the ancient armor turned black as well. i dont think that should implemented, it should the color you displayed it as and you cant changed it.

2. Glacial, Stone, Chaos, Destroyer, Dragon Gauntlets, along with other EotN items such as blindfolds, glasses, bandanas should be allowed to be displayed in the armor section of the hall of monuments.

example: My necro just recently got Elite Kurzick Armor, but she also has Glacial Gloves, i cannot display the elite kurzick armor without buying the gloves, which doesnt make sense, if im not gonna wear them anyway, ill pay for it and then just sell it or salvage it.

I want to know how many other people feel the same way i do.

HoM should really get fixed before adding tormented weapons to it.

The armor monument is not to display things to look at. It is to display things for an unlock of some kind in GW2. Currently, we know VERY little (virtually nothing) about what will be unlocked by ANY of the monuments.

Wait until they actually tell us what the HoM will do for us in GW2 before you cry about what it doesn't do for you in GW1.

This quote is too true.

The first suggestion is okay. Some armors probably look great with some colors and crap with others, and the reverse would be true for other armors.

Not sure about the second one though. I think it's fair that you should have to display the original set of armor, but after putting something there, it would be nice to have a feature to put on a different set of gloves/mask, or to even remove the helmet altogether.

if it was not to display armor, why not just make a sidenote of it when GW2 comes out, besides it was said from the beginning that the Hall of Monuments was to show off your acheivements to others.

Given that we don't know what it will do for us in GW2, we only have the disappointment of it in GW1 to go on. I totally think it's a disappointment, and most suggestions floating around the forums for fixes should be implemented.

They added the HoM to transfer your achievements over to GW2. Not to show off your leet weapons and armor. If the HoM was for showing off, don't you think you'd be able to display your own weapons and not just Destroyer weapons? Armor especially is already displayed when you wear it, do you really have to take someone into your HoM to show it off? No...

The armor monument is probably one of the best working of the five. They need to get some of the other ones straight before working on this, though I don't think they need to work on this one at all.

I agree on some of the stuff you said, Armor has already been said will not be transfered to GW2, which makes sense, why would you armor from GW1 in GW2, unless the armor in GW2 sucks (hope that isnt the case). Heroes i cant see being transfered either, unless their offspring are gonna be unlocked heroes?

example its been said the Prye has a grand-daughter in GW2, hero maybe? who knows?

I think more weapons should be able to be displayed in the Elite Weapons section, i think all greens should be there, the of course the higher grade golds, such as Destroyer and Tormented Weapons.

Now as far as the armor goes your right when you wear it shows, but how many people carry around 5 sets of elite armor on there character, i know i dont mostly cuz i dont have the room either in storage or my backpack, this is where i support the idea of having an armor npc to save your armor, but of course there needs to be a limit to how much you can have, if they had that, you can believe i would spend most of my farming for supplies and money to afford every piece of good looking armor in the game. but since i can only show off one, i usually only get one and stick with it.

Agreed - there are rumors about increasing the level cap for GW2, so why would they not increase the armor rating or damage for weapons? Half the stuff in there might turn out to be utterly useless past a certain point.

Time will tell but I'm pretty doubtful that the so called HoM unlock stuff is going to amount to much anyway. That would leave any new players feeling pretty left out which I don't think they would want to do. Unless Anet's strategy is that maybe they'll buy GW1 first and grind grind grind before playing GW2, yeah I can't see that happening.
