| Dev Upate: Hall of Monuments change... |

Didn't see this posted, so here it is if anyone missed it:
| QUOTE | Upcoming Changes to the Hall of Monuments - 24 June 2008
Since the release of Eye of the North there has been a lot of discussion about how the Hall of Monuments works. We intend to address a few of the larger concerns raised by players. We are not able to announce a specific date at which these changes will be released, but we're explaining them now so that players can choose their play patterns accordingly.
1. In the Hall of Monuments, you will be able to choose to view your accomplishments by character or by account. This is a setting you’ll be able to switch back and forth.
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.
3. We will be adding support for Tormented weapons to the Hall of Monuments.
Account-based Accomplishments
Because the Hall of Monuments displays accomplishments on a character-by-character basis, many players have felt strongly discouraged from playing multiple characters. To allow greater freedom in play style, we are changing the design for the Hall of Monuments. Accomplishments will be transferred to Guild Wars 2 on an account-by-account basis, and players will have the option of displaying their accomplishments by account or by character in the Hall of Monuments. (Please note that the armor statues in the Monument to Resilience will reflect the appearance of the character currently in the Hall of Monuments, not the character that originally displayed that armor set.)
Tormented Weapons
Currently, the Monument to Valor only allows the display of Destroyer weapons. Adding support for Tormented weapons will allow us to give players more options for what they want to display (and unlock for Guild Wars 2) without diminishing the exclusivity currently associated with this monument.
Guild Wars 2 Unlocks
Aside from the switch to account-based accomplishments, this has not changed. You will be able to add to the Hall of Monuments in the original Guild Wars even after the release of Guild Wars 2, and any newly unlocked accomplishments will then be visible in Guild Wars 2. We will provide more information about the exact rewards for each Hall of Monuments accomplishment as we get closer to the release of Guild Wars 2. |

Just found this on guildwars.com as well. So I guess this means that if I get Legendary Survivor on my Monk, I'd count for all my chars in GW2?:D

This just made me laugh... 1 year after release and about 1 year of people asking for the possibility to place 'true' high end weapons (destroyer weapons are not high end imho.... you can craft them while tormented weapons requier luck with the coffer or a lot of rare drops). After a while people sold their tormented sets because either they became bored with it; or wanted the 100k+ecto's.
So now that half the community has gotten rid of the weapons and moved to other games they implement something they should have done ages ago.
And implementing the characterbased titles as account based title is rediculous... a certain char has obtained something and you can show it for all characters? That's just bull. So if i grind for a survivor char i can show it in the hall of my main? PvP titles are accountbased; they are aquiered by several chars; so yea; multiple chars can display it; but a guardian title in the HoM of a level 10? C'mon; thats just totally misplaced.
At this moment; to my feeling at least; GW is ruining itself by updates like these. After the PvP & PvE split it already became as stale as a foggy morning in schotland. No more dynamics and no more fiddling to overcome updates or to work it out. Perma SF is ruining the economy to smitherenes (don't get me wrong; i do the chaos planes farm as well but got bored after 20 runs... no challange...)
So yea i could move on to PvP if there wasnt the rank discrimination and actually if there would excist people who like to learn people the hows and whys rather then raging, minding their own points or how to get the next rank asap.
I Start to wonder why i play AoC so much since i got it >.<

Heh I start to wonder why ive been spending more time on my 360 nowadays.
I do agree GW is killing itself off slowly by these updates...Why not make it where you could put any weapon in? Not everyone like Tormented and Destroyer Weapons (I think they're both hideous) I wouldve liked to put my perfect q8 Storm Bow in...

I personally wish we could display max green weapons in the HoM, dont have the money or time to try and get torm or destroyer sets right now, i would assume if they switch the HoM over to account based the achievements part would have the name of which character received it and put it in there. will definitely make it easier on me to display all my minipets and heros.

Well Regina told us in-game some time ago. Just don't think too many people saw. But the other changes are definitely new. Not so sure I like the idea of account based HoM now that I think about it. Of course it's great that it encourages players to use different characters, but it would just be weird to have level 10 with a fully unlocked HoM with GWAMM...

Wasn't a joke, virtual's actually pretty good for that. You just have to be brave and actually say you're able to play when people try to set up.
Unless you're laughing at the name, in which case I fully agree.

Not too bad an update, dumb update making it account based not character based.. well, more annoying.
And yet still they ignore the modification i was hoping for, allowing us to truely control what statues display rather than shuffling them in sets of 5 according to when you put the titles in...

does anyone know exactly what rewards or bonuses or benifits people will get in guild wars 2 for filling up their hall of monuments? i just have this feeling that people are going to work so hard and filling up their hall and get little to nothing in return. so if anyone knows what the reward actually is i would like to know.

Nobody knows yet (at least not outside ANet I think...), but they've said that the benefits will give no in-game advantage, so I guess it will be purely cosmetic

To be honest if you've gotten guardian on one character you could easily do it on another. No point making people waste time getting it on every character. You earned the title not your character. Really nothing negative comes out of this.

Its all about consistency. Why is the title characterbased? If all chars can show it in the HoM; then why not make it a account based title? You did accomplish it already, so why should another char do it then? To me personally it doesnt make any sense. character title <-> account title. If they are going to throw it all in one bunch anyway for the HoM; then why bother keeping the seperation?

I don't know the reasoning for that perhaps keeping the maxed titles thing elite (not that i care) but thats the only thing I could think of. Despite the inconsistency I think this is still a great improvement on the old system many people only really care about titles for the GW2 stuff anyway, aside from the rep ones that is. I'd prefer if all titles were account based but just having it for the HoM is still better than having that character based as well.
