Wow. You pull out... what... one post and make out that's the subject of this thread? Leave...

OMG the legendary cartographer looks real nice

. I wonder what the max sweet tooth title looks like

Still no love for people with combo armor...I guess this is Anet's way of saying "we hate creativity from our users"

Sigh...guess I have to shell out another 70k if I want to have a set of armor in my HoM, even though all my armor on my monk and war is 15k pieces.

Does legendary lightbringer remind anyone else of the merchant from RE4

Ahhh! I'll buy it at a high price

Just some thoughts:

* Monument of Resilience - Does what it should do now. No complaints.

* Monument of Fellowship: I don't have any heroes with upgraded armor and I probably never will since it is purely a cosmetic upgrade, but I can understand not wanting everyone to just throw their heroes up there, since it doesn't represent a significant achievement (though dumping 15k on an cosmetic armor upgrade doesn't feel like much of an achievement either).

* Monument of Devotion: I think I can live all of my pets being connected to my main character, though having it account-based would be better.

* Monument of Honor: Glad they did end up including PvE titles. Sneaky Anet making us worry. I am loving my SS and LB (and yes it does look like the guy from RE4... what are you buying?) statues. No complaints here.

* Monument of Valor: This is my biggest disappointment. I was honestly hoping this would be like the Honor monument where they just locked certain features until the games release, but sadly it appears that only high-end GW:EN items can go up there. All I have to say to Anet is, why did I bother hunting down greens in SF or in the other campaigns? I really can't understand how, at the very least, your greens from other campaigns shouldn't be allowed up there. That really shouldn't be a lot to ask.

I have no complain. I love the statue of heros, of my myself with armor, and all the mini pet i collected, and the rare weapon i got. ANet did a good drops.

Yes HOM is a lot better than it was in the Preview, however I wouldn't go so far as to say it's perfect, or fine and dandy as is now. Or that all it's problems are fixed.

It only display 5 monuments per platform at once. That sucks, a lot. Can't fit all my great titles on there at the same time. And can't get the 5 I most want on there to be on there together, due to the poor selection mechanism of that. Can only click on "Rearrange", which bumps off titles I want every time it puts a different one I want up there. That's no good.

On my Hero and pets platform I got 4 Heroes and 1 "Animal Companion" showing a bear and wolf and hyena when the only animal companion I put up there was a Mountain Eagle. I got all my Hero armors since the Preview because I thought it was the one thing HOM would display properly, yet it's limited ot just 5 at a time (including generic "animal companion" statue) and they can't be arranged properly either.

Major credit where credit is due for them fixing the statue of your armor so it shows your character in full color. That change is awesome and the one and only part of HOM that has now been fully fixed. Anti-signed on all the posters who wanna get that changed back to something crappy. Full color statue of your character is 100% perfect and should never, ever be changed.

WhiteLightHealing · Aug 31, 2007, 12:28 PM // 12:28

Well, what do u think man. The hall is small, enough for a party, may be around 100 can fit in. In the hall, that small, u cant show it all, if they create a big giant halls, now that can fitx in all. I would just lmao if they did that. A giant hall with statue of everything you did. All the amor you collected, all the animal you tame, all the hero you got. all the title you master. Oh man that will be a huge hall to fit them all in.

ANET i dont mind this HOM, is great.. But will be evern better if you create a giant hall, just like a museum. Omg that will AWSOME.

But then agains. there will be always some one will againts the idea. FU to whoever againts this.

Crowell The Fallen · Aug 31, 2007, 12:32 PM // 12:32

Monument of Valor is the only thing yet to be 'fixed'.

beanerman_99 · Aug 31, 2007, 12:54 PM // 12:54

Is there a statue for Legendary Skill Hunter?????

Enko · Aug 31, 2007, 03:11 PM // 15:11

btw, for those who put in grotto and citadel armor in the preview, those have been removed. i'm assuming its because you can put the individual sets in now. checking now.

Yes, a map of each continent on a platform with the capture sig icon on the front.

SpeedyKQ · Aug 31, 2007, 03:29 PM // 15:29

Yes, the improvements are very, very nice. I'm not sure why they didn't just tell everyone that lots of changes were coming, instead of letting us think it would suck. But in any case, they did a good job.

Things I'd still like to see, as others have mentioned:
A better way to arrange monuments
Show the correct animal type for your pet
Show any green from any campaign

It'd just be cool to be able to put any weapon in there. It wouldn't bother me if only GWEN weapons gave us GW2 unlocks, and older ones were just for show.

According to ANet's own marketing blurb on the website, the HoM is supposed to allow stuff from all games of the GW series, so I'm hoping they just didn't have enough time to implement all those quite yet.

I haven't seen any threads about Elite Armor for GWEN or where you can go get them. I tried taking my GWEN heroes to the Elona challenges only to be rebuffed about having an option to upgrade their armor. So I hope they allow Elonan heroes in the Hall rather than just GWEN.

draxynnic · Aug 31, 2007, 03:51 PM // 15:51

Aye, the current Hall is MUCH better. I'd still like to see animal companions being shown individually, though - although if only the three 'special' ones are going to filter down, I'm beginning to think that maybe I should grab a Phoenix for my ranger and get a crab with someone else...

On the arrangement of statues, may I suggest the following:

Select "Rearrange" option - ALL statues disappear.

Prompt: Select title/armour/whatever to display (gives list of activated items)
Selected item goes in first space.

Prompt: Select title/armour/whatever to display (gives list of activated items, except for the one already on display)
Selected item goes in second space.

And so on, until you run out of items to display, with items after the fifth not appearing but quickly accessible through a "Rotate" dialogue option which has the same functionality as the current system (in case someone wants to quickly cycle through to show off all they have).

Thoughts?

I like what they have done with the HoM...but for some reason my armour statues are dyed pink, even though one set was never dyed and the other was dyed black....

What's happened with the mini-pets? I heard that they will be un-customised to a single character, but are there any changes in the HoM? I'd like to know before I start hanging tapestries on that side of the building.

Hyper.nl · Aug 31, 2007, 04:17 PM // 16:17

Monument of Valor showing first year series of minipets:

It looks great, but too bad it has the drawback that I can't use them with other chars anymore.

Actually, they've specifically said over & over that you can only display weapons from EotN. "achievements, trophies, and titles across all Guild Wars games" still allows for weapons to be specific. "trophies" may refer to armor, Heros or Pets. Doesn't promise that your weapons can be from anywhere.

KillaKarl · Aug 31, 2007, 09:06 PM // 21:06

what about sheilds? can i say put a tormented sheild on my monument, with say a runic blade earned in EOTN?

MSecorsky · Aug 31, 2007, 09:39 PM // 21:39

There was mention of special "red" weapons that you can get in EotN which will be the ones that qualify for the monument.

Any sign of these yet?

Thermoblaze · Aug 31, 2007, 09:39 PM // 21:39

i love it!!!
