Talk:Hall of Monuments

Exit Portal Anomaly
So, I just added my last Nightfall hero to my Hall of Monuments, when walking to the exit portal to get back into Eye of the North, I came across this: screenie

Anyone knows why this occured? Is it a bug, or is it just an 'easter egg'? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by IPname (talk).
 * Photoshoped much? Jackster 19:30, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not photoshopped, it's a bug. I've heard several people bring this up before, and I think I remember a discussion about it elsewhere, but I can't find it at the moment. Manifold [[Image:User_Manifold_Neptune.jpg|19px]] 20:10, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That must be the wierdest bug in the world. Is that even a place in Guild Wars?Jackster 19:31, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * This isn't my screenshot, but here it is in Vlox's Falls: Portal bug.jpg Manifold [[Image:User_Manifold_Neptune.jpg|19px]] 19:59, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like someplace in Kourna. It's probably a scene from a portal there that is somehow getting transposed. -- FreedomBound [[Image:User_Freedom_Bound_Sig.png|19px]] 21:59, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I think a black hole coincidentally passes by and causes the wormhole to briefly jump portals. 76.164.71.104 22:33, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It's pretty weird that they both have the same area they're looking into. I haven't had this happen to me, but I'd sure like to know what place that is :P ~Farlo Talk 22:57, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Fellowship HoM points
I hate the way the Fellowship note on how to acquire all 8 points was rephrased. I feel my original note was clear (there are 26 heroes, 3 rare pets, and the generic animal companion statue; to get to 30, you need everything). However, I'm not gonna edit war about it. Rather I'm going to put some options here, and whoever wants to can implement whichever (or leave it as is, if everyone prefers). I feel all of these are clearer than what's currently there. Considering we're supposedly getting a new hero from the next chapter of Guild Wars Beyond, and presumably could get more after, I favor the middle one. Opinions? - Tanetris 16:29, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * "A total of 8 Guild Wars 2 reward points can be obtained from this monument for 30 companions." (all that really needs to be said, considering it's impossible to get to 30 without hitting the other requirements)
 * "A total of 8 Guild Wars 2 reward points can be obtained from this monument for 30 companions, including at least 1 rare pet along with the generic Animal Companion statue." (will continue to be accurate even if they add more heroes)
 * "A total of 8 Guild Wars 2 reward points can be obtained from this monument for 30 companions, including at least 1 hero and 1 rare pet along with the generic Animal Companion statue." (as explicitly redundant as possible)
 * I too favor the middle option. It's almost way too obvious that you'll need to add heroes, but info about rare animals companions may not be that obvious.  --Lania  [[Image:User Lania Elderfire pinkribbon.jpg]]16:58, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Ogden healing the phoenix
I think the point of the Anomaly is that the non-party-member Ogden will heal both you and the phoenix. Normally, neutral NPCs heal either green dots or red dots (assuming they heal at all); in this case, both friend and foe are healed. I think the note should be restored (and rephrased, as appropriate). — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 04:24, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It probably has something to do with the animal being "allied" neutral with everyone in the instance, and the reactionary attacking doesn't change that. Where as if the animal is in the wild, it isnt set to be allied to the party or NPCs, thus when it attacks they charge in.--Neithan Diniem User Neithan Diniem Sig.png]] 09:33, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I think this is worth a note rather than an anomaly, since it's normal behavior, just a rare circumstance. [[Image:User Rose Of Kali SIG.jpg]]Rose Of Kali 15:32, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Considering that this is the only instance that such a phenomena can be seen, its probably as I said, part of the programing. So yea, Id say not it, not bug it.--Neithan Diniem User Neithan Diniem Sig.png]] 17:36, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm? There is not a single instance of what you call normal behaviour in the game, as far as i know. The anon is right. Backsword 23:35, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Normal behavior is what is programed to occur, and is present throughout the game. Anything outside that normalcy is a bug or an anomaly.--Neithan Diniem User Neithan Diniem Sig.png]] 23:59, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 * This isn't really the only occasion. The Kurzick/Luxon Priests in Factions can tag along to heal you or (most often) minions, and they can then also heal your enemies. 80.239.242.190 00:25, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
 * How about the Apostate who heals everything with Dismiss condition. Similar no? --[[Image:User_Chieftain_Alex_Chieftain Signature.png]] Chieftain  Alex 01:17, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Ascenadance
In the reward calculator, Ascended is 25 points and Closer to the Stars is 30 points, do you think this has any significance or not really? Jackster 14:39, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Probably not, I think they were just slapping them in there, picking which titles sound coolest. ~Farlo Talk 19:30, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I suspected as much thanks for the wiuck reply :) Jackster 19:28, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I think "Has a Full Sunspear Command Center" sounds best. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 22:49, 10 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I was actually hoping for, . (I dunno, perhaps that's too long?) — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 22:51, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I will eat you. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 22:52, 10 June 2011 (UTC)


 * But, I'm not a Delicious Cake, ergo, by (false) syllogism, I must not be eaten. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 23:08, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Time for a guide
I think it's time for a guide to getting 30/50 (if not 50/50) for your hall. User:Saxon has proposed HoM Points for Dummies, which I think is a good start. I'd like to see us emphasize 30/50 (which unlocks all potential GW2 rewards) and offer several scenarios:
 * Least effort: which 30 points take the least amount of work by the player.
 * Least cost: more effort, but considerably cheaper.
 * Missing a campaign: a combination of above, for those who are missing Proph or NF or Factions.
 * And a comparison of things that are easier for long timers (e.g. adding minis) versus those less than 24 months in the game.

Do other ppls have different ideas for what they would like to see? — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 23:18, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Is that really necessary when there are really effective guides out there? Seems like it would make more sense to direct users to some of those guides instead of simply repeating the same information here because wikis aren't exactly the best format for a walkthrough/guide.--Four Year Strong 23:26, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Generally, I think a guide on the wiki will get more exposure than my user guide or a guru guide. And the only reason those guides popped up is bc there is not an existing one on the wiki. I don't mind if we copy paste mine as a start, or use some of it's guts. Possible things to include:


 * How many points are possible for owning each individual campaign + eotn.
 * Fastest way to 30 points
 * Fastest way to 50 points
 * Which points have synergy
 * Ways to farm money
 * A list of everything that can be bought from NPC's
 * A list of everything that can be bought in trade
 * -- Moto   Saxon  00:12, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The reason I've included "things that can be bought" is because people have asked me "I have a stack of ecto, how many points can i buy with it?" There are a lot of returning players who have loads of money sitting in there accounts from 5-6 years ago that are only coming back to get there hom points. -- Moto   Saxon  00:15, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
