No Item Rewards After 30/50 On HoM Calculator?

Was just wondering why after 30 points on the HoM Calculator thing there is nothing to unlock.

Surely is better to add some more things so people have encouragement to keep going with GW and tick off the things to get/close to 50/50 in their HoM.

Some of the squares are orange in the HoM so - up to 37 so hopefully they haven't finished on this

That is correct, there are no more item rewards after 30, only titles.

No, it isn't better. They want the rewards to be within reach of the casual gamer and that's what they've done.

There is more incentive for ANet to get people from 0 to 30 than it is to get people from 30 to 50.

I would be very surprised if they add more now.

edit: corrected my info, ty Kattar.

Meh the reason they didnt give other then titles after 30 is that casual player also can get all the important rewards without grinding..

There are no item rewards past 30. There are title rewards.

There is, you can get titles. Hope you weren't expecting something on the lines of free ectos for 50/50.

As I've stated before in other topics, I personally wouldn't mind more item/miniature/pet rewards in the 31 to 50 range, although I don't think too many would be a good idea, considering there's already a lot of rewards most players will not use all that much. I believe one additional reward every 5 levels or something along those lines would be adequate.

Ah wrote it properly in the topic heading but wrong in the post.

Was wondering why there are no 'ITEMS' after level 30.

TBH I don't really care about the casual player needs, but I feel kinda bad for ppl that went to excesses with titles - ie LDoA. I'm kinda glad I didn't do that one...


As a previous poster said it would nice to have some items, though nothing gamebreaking past 30 in the HoM. As the only incentives to further play GW1 past that point are titles though when GW2 comes out there are no doubt going to be cooler titles so this one for 50/50 in the HoM wont really seem that great as no one really cares about what you do in a previous game.

If you got GWAMM, you can wear that on your whole account in GW2 though.

i personally love the rewards system and i think the rewards are fabulous up to 30 and as far as titles go, i couldn't care less. There are way more items rewards than i expected and look forward to starting new characters in gw2 with them. Nice job Anet! Overall its a nice setup for all and for those who for some wacky reason are not satisfied, tough cookies. What did u expect for rewards a gold plated DVD of gw2? Curious to see how greedy some individuals can be over a game that is to entertain and be enjoyed. Just by normal game play i have acquired 40 points and could easily attain several more but titles aren't my thing yet i am more than satisfied with items rewards up to 30/50. i look forward to the coming posts about how sad and unsatisfied some people are about the rewards. It is awesome as far as i and many other feel.

Enjoy...

Really glad with the current setup.

My son started playing GW about 1 year ago and he had very little in his hall. When the rewards initially came out he felt overwhelmed and that he would not reach all the awards. Once I explained it to him and showed him how it breaks down he got to work and is currently at 21/50 (from 8) and is busy getting the rest. He already has it all planned out to obtain the 30 mark.

I think anything additional would have discouraged him to not even bother. Just the feeling I get, plus he is a typical teenager, short attention span

Anyway maybe ANET will add something later for those truly die hard players.

I would love to have more awards for 30+. But I have to agree that 30/50 is better for casual gamers. Although i have friends that don't even bother reaching 30.

There's the problem. You and lots of other people with 30-50 points right now don't care about the needs of anybody except yourselves and everyone else in your club. That being said, I feel like one of the few people with 50/50 that understands why Anet made the decisions they did regarding the HoM and points.

I was actually amazed at all the positive feedback that we were seeing when all this was announced and now every other post on here is by some greedy prick that either feels the rewards should have been better or that they deserve even more for being more awesome than everyone else. (No, I'm not new to Guru. I knew it was only a matter of time! )

You guys do realize that you're starting a new game with a full set of armor, weapons, pets, minis and titles... right? I feel that Anet was more than generous with the rewards and we should be thankful.

Rawr!

The title system is so worthless, wth makes one title worth more than another?

Numerous forum posts and interviews with members of the dev team say otherwise.

You can display GWAMM as a title in GW2 if you have it in GW1.

Its cosmetic, so the value is subjective.
EXAMPLE: I might have the Ghostly Hero title (35/50) when GW2 releases, I like it, in my PERSONAL view it is cool. Some people may not think this way and only reach 30/50 and be content with Closer to the Stars. Nothing wrong with either stance.

The titles are there to reward the determined with an extra "little something" for full or near completion of the HoM. No one is hurt or undermined with the inclusion of titles anyway, so why are you so threatened with their existence?

By the way, for those who are asking for more rewards at 30+, I think A-net wanted to include all the intended rewards in the bottom tier so no one felt left out for not having a grandfathered weapon / armor skin because they were unable to obtain Obsidian Armor (or other equally expensive / time consuming sets of HoM points to gather). Think of the title rewards for 30+/50 to be bonuses for being so dedicated .

Dunno, ask people who spent hours on titles that don't affect anything and people who created them.

Its absolutely retarded that the value of a title is based on how it sounds, seriously what incentive is there to getting titles when you have a better sounding one.

It's the same question that people have forever been asking in GW about Crystalline Sword since it looks crap compared to most of the skins in the game. The answer is prestige.
