I completely agree. When i got my Tormented Shield it was the same price as my FoW armor... o.O And i like my all my perfect fellblades. How hard would it be to implement these skins into GW2? Not very.

I assume Anet will make the changes, as this is only the preview (and the beta) :P

I wasn't impressed by the hall of monuments much, and it really doesn't give me that feeling of wanting to show off my titles to anyone. I mean the armor displays are showing armor for different classes. Displaying minipets causes them to get customized, which will hurt to some. The weapons display might be good, depending on how uber-looking the destroyer weapons are (At first I thought this was for displaying rare-skinned weapons, so I wasted a tapestry on it. >_>). And you need to unlock a different armor before displaying a hero? O_o

But still, I'll wait to see if they plan on...improving it over the next few months... =/

HoM = a total failure and a slap in the face

gg on alienating your best advertisers on the element that is supposed to keep us tied over through GW2

new management please

Yes its a preview. I 100% agree thats why the issue is being discussed NOW before it goes gold with this with Anet thinking everyone is all hunky dory with it... Cuase just about everyone I have talked to in game thus far have nothing but praise for the preview, but its almost a full 180 degree attitude on the HoM... And thats almost game population wide... I just think it needs some tweaks before it goes live, and having he fan base expressing that NOW means Anet will at least consider it...

As to the game itself. Fabulous Never seen the game look as good or as smooth... I love all the quests and rewards, I love the heroes and the new PvE skills, pets, Everything but the HoM... Even with it as is I would give the expansion a 5/5... Just with the Player advisory to avoid the HoM at all costs... Treat it like it is not even there at all and its a perfect expansion... Indeed if it was not there at all it would be perfect in my humble opinion. But it is, and it has issues for the players... So thats why its being discussed now... While they are actively working on the expansion for going gold, and before its too late to do anything about till 6 to 8 months later...

HOM should be account based

* Honor: Little deer trophy Wolf Trophy etc for HA
All PVE titles max number of titles you can display
* Resilience: Leave how it is if HOM changes to account based
* Valor: I should be able to display my Tormented weapons, who cares about greens

Guildmaster Cain · Aug 25, 2007, 07:51 AM // 07:51

The problem is that peopl just expected too much from HoM, and they get disappointed.

Expect nothing and see what the future brings and u will never get disappointed.

Tifas Revenge Z · Aug 25, 2007, 07:56 AM // 07:56

One thing I don't like about the Hall of Monuments is that there is absolutely NO PVE title monuments at all whatsoever! I mean, Legendary Guardian and Legendary Vanquisher took countless hours for many players to achieve, and to not have a monument to those titles is just a BIG SHAME on ANET's part. Also, no Kurzick/Luxon Title recognition, no Skill Hunter recognition, no recognition for Legendary Defender of Ascalon, no recognition for grandmaster cartographer titles, NOTHING! Most of the monuments they showcased just seem like they would cost someone a lot of money to get, such as minipets, 15K/FOW Armor, and Hero Armor. Gamer title track level 9 I just have 3 letters: W T F. There is no way anyone can achieve that title at all who has started in this past year since games are limited to special events only such as the Dragon Festival.

I honestly thought it was going to be a kind of "personal outpost" kinda like the Command Post - where various quests can build onto it with NPCs and stuff. That was all entirely in my head, true, but I seemed to get that impression somehow. I think I also along the line got the impression that we'd be able to have all of our achievements "recorded." Neither of these things are true, which pretty much makes the entire hall useless to me.

I don't PvP often enough to even have one level of any titles, so the only things I can in my HoM do is record my heroes/pets (big deal), record my minipets (at the loss of ever being able to use them on any other character again - yeah, dumb), and record my "elite" armor sets (which I get in pieces because I like to mix 'n match - creativity bad, apparently). I don't think I'll be going back the the hall anytime soon. Waste of the developers time to make that thing, if you ask me.

VitisVinifera · Aug 25, 2007, 08:43 AM // 08:43

when the early movie showed HoM with tons of mini pets and armor sets of different professions, that was a clear message that it was account-wide

thats why we have 300 posts of mainly outrage

Ben-A-BoO · Aug 25, 2007, 09:17 AM // 09:17

Like those other ~130 fellow gurus posted before me I am rather disappointed by the current state of the Hall of Monuments.

But I just relax a bit and enjoy the new scenery ...
Meanwhile i post my little rant as well to get it of my soul:

Honor: pvp titles only and then at outrageous tier levels?
(rank 12 hero = that is 21,600 fame, guyz LOL)
I was looking forward to see my first level drunkard there and not only max titles ("oh btw, if you read the small print someone might actually notice you are kind of a big deal ..." erhm, yeah right)

Sidenote: To include in the preview only pvp titles was a rather stupid move for a mainly pve focused expansion...

Resilience: Armor display for the wrong profession?
(what i enjoyed the most was mixing up different armors not bothering to have the full piece and look like 90% of the other players - I have many 15k's but never of one certain type ... shame it is ... and in this current state not interesting at all for me)

Valour: Only including EotN weapons?
Clear for me that should be fixed - expected to at least see all the greens up there.

Fellowship: Need to upgrade armor to unlock a hero?
erhm, why is that? can someone at Anet please explain me what kind of logic I should look for?

Devotion: Costumizing mini pets per character?
I can see the problem they faced to implement that (same problem btw goes for the unique shields that might be displayed in the Valour monument, because they aren't customized as well). But hey, most of the players use their minis account wide for ages ... forcing them not to do so is a very harsh step.

I am pretty sure (which means full of hope) that they fix most what the complaints are about... since its a pre-view isn't it?

Anyhow, enjoy your weekend - I have seen enough for now.

Thanks for your time and heads up,
Timebandit

Ya know, I really like Eye of the North. This expansion has the nicest scenery out of anywhere else in the game, the textures are amazing. But then there is the Hall of Monuments, the thing that was promoted the heaviest for purchasing EOTN. For all those who don't understand how most of us are dissappointed it's because we were lead to believe the HoM was going to be this fantastic place where all of your accomplishments were going to be shown. Every single one of the monuments has a major issue with it that I do not like but apparently the rest of the community isn't too fond of either.

This being a preview event doesn't justify it. What, is it a preview of crap? I have been waiting for nearly a year now for great content and know that both team's have been working on this for the past year, and this is the best they could come up with? GW2 isn't an excuse here either. Arenanet has said over and over again in interviews that EoTN has been their focus and not GW2. I really hope that isn't true. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the rest of the game... but again HoM was the big selling point for this product and out of everything they shouldn't have got wrong this is it. Arenanet, this isn't up to your standards. You could do a whole lot better then this.

plasmasword · Aug 25, 2007, 11:32 AM // 11:32

how do u get a 2nd tapestry thing?

Drew Almighty ll · Aug 25, 2007, 01:09 PM // 13:09

Complete Northern Allies(Primary) to get a second 1 !

And yeah , Anet just lost a lot of costumers again with their JOKE(HoM)

Only PvP titles in the PvE section of the game? OMG ROFL xD

BUT... GW:EN is cool , the items/quests/decor look cool! So I don't complain that lot yet...

littlejay · Aug 25, 2007, 01:21 PM // 13:21

make the game only show off rit armor for everyone, problem solved

Ben-A-BoO · Aug 25, 2007, 02:19 PM // 14:19

This is what an old friendship looks like in the new HoM ... just sad ...
(Tiger made a yellow puddle there after the picture was taken and whistling we went hunting again)

And oh hey, you need to have this nice Armor to unlock Olias and then it displays him in that tight suit I wanted so dearly to get rid off

Anet ... Please fix this flaws

Sincerely,
Timebandit

Vanessa Dwager · Aug 25, 2007, 02:34 PM // 14:34

If the Hall was supposed to keep track of what we did so our ancestor can benefit from it why does the hall not mention that I'm a Legendary Spearmarshal? Not everyone went out of their way to max that title.

Also, I hero'd a lot of missions, but because I could not get them their elite armor they are forgotten to history? Not cool

I haven't gotten to the minis, weapon, or armor things yet but from what i have read it's not good.

yuna of spira · Aug 25, 2007, 02:47 PM // 14:47

Im with many others on this that HoM should be upgraded, as i expect it will be.
I understand this was kind of a beta weekend, but they told us that stuff we did this weekend would be kept-aka skills, items, outposts, quests....blah blah blah. So I just get a lil worried when anet says somethin like that, of how permanent some components are....

So, for my specific problems with HoM, everyone is talking about the r12 hero, but what about the r9 champ, r9 glad....etc. there are definitely ppl with r12, but as far as I know, there is absolutely no one even close to those others......
I mean, is ANET expecting there to be a TON of leveling of those titles between now and gw2? are those titles specifically designed to give 1-5 ppl in the whole game huge notoriety and sense of personal accomplishment? And how could this stuff not have been obvious enough to the developers? like, it seems just common sense to see that a r12 hero, r9 champ and r9 glad are near to none in presence. Like, if we all found these huge problems with the title part, the miniatures, etc. so quickly after it coming out.....how in the world did they miss that? I just feel kinda slighted, like they didnt really work much on this campaign when stuff like this happens.

but hey, lookin forward to the 31st when i can see what (if any) changes were made

All the things said by this chap i agree wrong armor display im a freaking ele what does that warrior and dervish in my hall.

Why do i need to upgrade my hero's they just stand there in their basic armor.

Why only PvP titels.

And for weapons i'll keep my mouth shut for my own good.
