Someone can tell me why can only show destroyer weapons in Hall of Monuments????
First of all HoM is a place that serve to "remember" what you have done in GW... Titles achived and so on. So why i cannot show different weapons????
I do not like destroyer weapons....what do you think about?

The Destroyer Weapons will probably unlock something in GW2 which is why Anet limited the Valor monument to only them. In my opinion they should add the Tormented and Zodiac weapons onto it.

Perhaps, the destroyer sword will unlock a special sword in Gw2, the bow, a bow, etc...

And I think, imo monument of valor is correct in its current state.

Yeah, mostly everyone thinks it's stupid, and are hoping for some kind of update.

AlienFromBeyond · Oct 18, 2007, 05:38 PM // 17:38

And everyone is stupid for hoping that.

The obvious reason why it's limited to only Destroyer weapons is so everyone has equal opportunity to add stuff to their HoM. If people could add Tormented items, then people without Nightfall or people who aren't ridiculously rich wouldn't be able to add them to their HoM. And when adding stuff to your HoM is supposed to reward you in GW2, that's a big deal.

I don't agree with your arguement - I have luxon 15 k armour on display - people without factions cannot do that but I still get the choice to do so. (they have the option of putting other elite armour in)
I also get to put protector of Cantha in aswell , something somebody without factions cannot do either.
I get to display heroes from nightfall and a black moa bird from factions

I think the same degree of flexibility should apply to weapons

I'm not sure why its only destroyer weapons so far, how many stands are there for weapons in that monument?
At most each profession would fill 3-4 stands, that's if a caster gets the staff, wand and focus or a warrior gets a sword, axe, hammer etc...

No one will be getting 3 or 4 destroyer axes to fill their HoM

I still believe that Anet will allow us to add other weapons. It might take a while but I believe they will let us.

I kninda hope they add Tormented weapons to the HoM, seems kinds fair.

Off topic, destroyer weapons kinda remind me of daedric weapons from oblivion

I'm going to be getting Destroyer weapons not of my profession to fill up my HoM. I'll give the ones I can't use to my heroes.

i agree. i am not really big on the destroyer (or tormented) stuff myself, and i am not going to pay any exorbitant amount just so i can fill up that part of my HoM. so if it ends up only those 2 types are allowed, then i'll have a pretty empty part to show myself in 2 years

there are some odd things i like that if only destroyer and tormented were allowed, i'd be pretty sad i couldn't display my sweet collection of rare skin stuffs...and greens. still hard earned, nothing to show

i think we should be able to put anything in there as long as it is max damage/defense/energy. mods would be another story; i don't think mods should be considered since some things might look neat and ya wanna display them because they look neat, but you don't really want to use it. hey, it might become that way in gw2 where you still just want to look at it--but not use it

isn't this what a weapons showcase really is though? show stuff you might not necessarily want to use, for fear of breaking it or losing it? but just LOVE the look of?

Tormented Weapons deserve a spot there considering the time and money involved in actually getting them.

You don't really have to be rediculously rich to get a tormented. I have gotten around 8 greens, i rarely get extremely valuable drops (highest was 60k, then next highest was about 20k ish), and i dont race to the end of a new game to sell stuff at inflated prices, but all i had to do was take about 3 days of selling what i had in my inventory already to get enough for a tormented shield. Most of the stuff was worth 10k or less. And w/o much of a salary, i managed to get 2 sets of elite armor also.

So that argument is pretty much for people w/o the will to get one. And, i don't pve too much (mostly pvp), so most pve'ers should be able to get one if they want.

Personally I think they should let you display any gold max damage weapon. The unlock then just depends on the type. You put in a gold 15-22 sword (destroyer, tormented, zodiac, fellblade etc) and you get a sword unlock for GW2, doesn't matter what skin you used to unlock, its just classed as a sword.

You put in a destroyer axe, chaos axe, tormented, whatever, you get the same axe unlock in GW2. Same with all the other types, wand, staff, shields etc. Maybe have the wands, staves and offhands unlock different things based on req, so a death wand unlocks different to a prot wand.

Cause the current system is pretty bad. Especially since the destroyer skins aren't really all that great in the first place. Maybe if we had destroyer armour to go along with it, but otherwise I think there are far better skins.
