Talk:Hall of Heroes unique items

The name of the new Underworld
Hmmmm. We might run into problems with the use of the term "underworld" here, since that already exists in the Temple. Either both locations are the underworld (with 2 different entrences, like surface-world vs underworld) and we should change the underworld article accordingly or we might need a disambiguity page. Ohh, and trust ANet to keep the PvE people happy as well lol --Xeeron 05:02, 20 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok, we need to come up with a name.. The four areas still have their old names: The Underworld, Scarred Earth (both have the same background & design) then the Courtyard and the Hall of Heroes (both having the same design).
 * The Underworld refers to a specific explorable area. Now there are two explorable areas with the same name. It used to be a PvE area and PvP arena. Now it's TWO PvE areas and the arena (haven't been to the Tournament yet, but I hear it's the same).
 * Now, the new Underworld is just the FIRST map in a series then there are 3 others. So, basically, the new "area" is actually 4 "explorable areas". This is different than anything we have had before.
 * Now, the question is, do we need a name for the "new" area (i.e. the four combined levels). OR.. Do we just make PvE articles for the PvP places? Do we make a disambig between the UW from ToA and the UW (first level) from Tombs? Are we even sure this will stay? --Karlos 15:03, 20 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I say we call it the Tombs for short. It's mentioned multiple times at various places that Anet is moving all PvP content to Battle Isles, so I'm pretty sure alling it the Tombs mission/quest/whatever is going to be unambiguous from now on. -PanSola 03:12, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * To elaborate, we make one article for the four combined areas. Then, for each of the existing articles for the PvP maps, we split the content into disamb sections (but keeping them in the same article).  Finally, while I'm not sure this will stay, I am 99.98% certain that the Hall of Heros PvP tournament will NOT return to the tombs.  Anet's pretty clear about consolidating high level PvP to the Battle Isles.  And because I can't think of what will happen if this thing doesn't stay (the HoD sword is one thing, the candy cane thing is one thing, but having new unique items just for a weekend?), I'll willing to bet real world cash that this change will stay.  My 2 cents. -PanSola 08:38, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Where is the new monk focus item? Shandy 06:59, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

A proposal for a more fitting name to avoid mixups
we should call it something less ambiguous. I propose "PvE Hall of Heroes", becasue that is what it is. People just call it UW because the first map you have to clear is called UW too.


 * Check this Gaile Gray transcript. Towards 3/4 down,  (emphasis mine)

Gaile Gray: I believe that the special rewards in the Ruins of the Tomb of Primeval Kings are going to continue to drop, yes. "That might be as close as we'll get for an official name. -PanSola 07:30, 21 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I like this name. I believe the items should still be called HoH items because the actual place they drop is not in the tombs, but supposedly in the Rift. --Karlos 11:33, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
