Dev Update: Hall of Monuments Changes

I think that you are confusing the vanquisher title, which is specific to a single character, and the benefits that you get from the HoM, which is shared by all future GW2 characters. (And has no affect on other GW characters.)

If you get a title on Character A, he/she can wear that title in the game, and transfer it to all future GW2 characters. If you don't have that same title on Character B, he/she can't wear it in the game. But his/her lack of that same title doesn't affect GW2 characters, since Character A already unlocked it in your HoM.

Elitist? You cant expect ANYONE to have more then one GWAMM character, that's just not humanly possible.

So let's get this straight... am I reading this correctly?

- Some titles are account wide now?
- If you have one title on one character and another on the other, you can combine them into one HoM?
- If you have multiple prestige armors over multiple characters, you can combine them into one HoM (but you only see the armor that your current character has unlocked)?

If so, very, very nice update! I have 8 characters, and now I can give them all equal attention by aiming for different titles! This is very cool as I can now designate a powerful character as "the vanquisher", my permaform 'sin as "the explorer", etc.

That's an interesting update

Hmm, we're getting the thing Gaile told us we were totally illogical and selfish to want?

Super :-)

ANet loves me, this I know.

Anybody else pissed that they have multiple copies of Asuran/Norn/other elite armors?

Overall though I'm pleased.

I think some of you are reading too much into this.

It will be possible to view titles from different characters, but it doesn't mean these titles are magiacally shared between all characters in GW1. GW2, on the other hand...

Anyways, sounds like cool changes ^^

The best update since the storage enlargement imho.

very vague though if they go the right direction with it and don't limit those who chose to go account based vs non it will be awesome i think.

legendary survivor should be character based
vanquisher can be easily done account based: if one character has vanquished an area, it counts as vanquished for all characters

I think they should do treasure & wisdom title account based aswell
I hate always have to switch to my warrior for identifying golds and not beeing able to use lockpicks/key because i have to save them up for my warrior

here's what i think they should make account based:

• Drunkard (some ppl use it for their dwarven skills)
• Treasure Hunter (see above)
• Wisdom (see above)
• Sweet Tooth (Some sweets provide a bonus ingame, so every character can use them and they don't have to be saved up for use by a certain character)
• Party Animal (we already have Drunkard & Sweet tooth, so we can just add this one)
• Vanquisher (see above)

Should stay character based: (but can ofcourse be added to account-HoM)

• Survivor (unique for the character, accountbased would be to easy)
• Legendary Defender Of Ascalon (unique for the character, accountbased would be to easy)
• Maxed titles (there should be some challenge to gaining r6)
• Sunspear, Lightbringer, Asura, Deldrimor, Ebon Vanguard, Norn (be honest, these aren't too hard to gain, they just take some time)
• Master of the North (the vanquished areas DO count accountwide, dungeons, missions and map exploration is characterbased)
• Protector, Guardian & Legendary Guardian
• Carthographer
• Skill Hunter (so that it won't be TOO easy to get elite and to let elite tomes keep their value)

Titles in the account-based list should be added (for example: my warrior has 350 ID's on his wisdom title, my monk has 100 ID's, so the total should be 450)
That's also one of the reasons i didn't add protector & carthographer to the accountbased list => (for example: if someone has completely carthographed an area, it should be available to all character to see it completely, even if they didn't visit that area yet, same for missions)

what exactly are they saying by this? dose this mean that it dosnt matter if you got 5 sets of elite armor?

I think it's just a matter of how you see the monument when you're standing there. It will still be functionally the same, but it will look different depending on which character you currently have in the HoM.

I'm unclear on how they're saying the display will work, though. I get the impression that if you put Armor A in the HoM with Character A, then come in with Character B, you'll see Armor A, but on Character B.

Hmm, one question on the "Account-based Accomplishments" part.

Let's say I have character X, character Y and character Z in GW1 and i decide to make my HoM reflect the achievements of all 3 (meaning account based). Then, in GW2, I decide to make 4 new characters. Can I give those 4 all the bonuses from the achievements of characters X,Y and Z or can I only give one of my GW2 characters those bonuses?

nice 1st SF sin Buff now this Torment etc...
seems anet want every1 to get their torment or etc

so far so good...
now since the onyx and diamond and slab are available on merchant (for destroyer weapon).... pls pls add gemstones there too xD
or at least let the gemstones drop from dungeon endchest

so no need DoA haha... and i know many ppl will love it, but some other will QQ this xD

me luvs watzhin ppl QQin xD

You can give all of them those bonuses.

2. Hall of Monuments accomplishments will be sent to Guild Wars 2 by account. All Hall of Monuments accomplishments for any Guild Wars character on your account will be available to every Guild Wars 2 character on your account.

I'm still wondering, though, will the "unlocks" at GW2 be monument-specific, or do you have to have a full Hall to have the unlocks?

This is absolutely Fantastic news and i welcome it with all my chars.

This is great for people that cant stick to just one character.

I'm impressed. Very good decision to make it work this way.

Good job, Anet.

Did someone mention me? :3
