Guild Wars 2

Remember HoM in Guild Wars 1?
For those who didn’t play GW1, HoM (Hall of Monuments) was an -addictive- end-game feature, a place to put our stuff and achievements, to increase a score or just have fun completing it.

There are so many armors sets and skins to get in Guild Wars 2, so many achievements to do… It would be awesome to collect them into a place like that in Guild Wars 2!

Just imagine yourself putting the dungeon or karma armor set you worked so hard to get, on a statue of yourself, starting a collection!
Or adding a statue of a norn holding a keg, rewarded to you for getting all Keg Brawls achievements! Then adding a Zhaitan statue for defeating him…
Then you would add a statue of the dungeon weapon that you have bought, or even a statue of the legendary Twilight!

There could be statues for everything! Achievements Points, Miniatures, Dungeons, Events, Jumping Puzzle, Personnal Story, Crafting…
Possibilities are endless!

I’m sure that it would be a great end-game feature for Guild Wars 2.
What do you, developpers and players, think about it?

I would like this. Would be great to have trophies like this in your home instance.

Yeah, this is basically what Housing and Trophies are for. We could call it the Hall of Monuments, sure. I still want to make furniture and have a virtual “home” though. I also want to collect pets IN GAME and shoot me for saying this, I don’t care. Mounts. Always loved collecting them in other MMOs. I miss it in this one.

HOM was great, gave a great sense of accomplishment to see all those statues lining the walls. I think putting it in the home district would be great. After all, when towns in real life have current or former residents they’re proud of, they build statues and open museums dedicated to them.

I think this is one of the things they’re planning to do with home instances at some point down the line.

I remember them saying it would change to reflect your progress through the story and the choices you made, and although I don’t think they’ve said anything specific a place to display our achivements seems like a logical part of that.

Although I’m not sure about the giant statue. I think I’d feel weird seeing that every time I went in.

I think a HoM would be great . I would put it somewhere in Orr though since its an end game thing anyway.

Account-bound weapons would also be great.

An example:
I want to collect all Mystic Weapons. All on my main, they would be useless.
But separated, it wouldn’t be a collection.

Well, I mean, Soulbound is just not clean for collections. And a collection must be clean.

I loved the HOM, even though I pretty much stunk at the actual game play in GW1. I still go look over my collection of minis from my 7 years of birthday presents every once in a while. Maybe we’ll get display cases in our home instance.

I wouldn’t mind commissioning some sculptures from Eir to commemorate some of the more memorable moments. A monument for Tybalt would be nice.
