Guild Wars 2

Nice rewards for ppl who have Eye of the North, and other ppl dont have just get a “kiss my tail” from Arenanet

Got Guild Wars 1 + Guild Wars Faction + Guild Wars Nightfall and got nothing.

Someone got Guildwars 1 + Eye of The North will get Hall of Monuments in GW2

Thats all

No one even really notices the rewards. I’ve not returned since day 1.

Buy Eye of the North, fill HOM. Profit.

EOTN is cheap as hell these days. What’s holding you back?

The rewards are only armor/weapons skins , not actual items

I don’t see a FAIL, the Hall of Monuments is located within the Eye of the North expansion. If you can’t access HoM in Guild Wars then it makes sense that you can’t access HoM in Guild Wars 2.

Causes sounds like “if you want you pay” from Arenanet and thats shows how they respect old player base was suporting Anet in GW1 and still suporting in GW2 and Anet will give you nothing until you pay fot it.

I am not going spend 19,00 bucks for an old game expansion since i am not playing and just to do a stupid quest for GW2 Hall of Monuments.

That money can buy another new game on steam.

The question is: when game developer/publishers will respect player base like old times?

Actualy they just want money at all costs.

Sure thats makes sense, but why should be hall of monuments?

Arenanet says:
Ow wait lets make that and sell moar copy from Eye of the Noth.

Gotcha?

Doens’t matter, where is rewards for players who has the other exp and the original game?

and a few nice looking mini’s that will be send to your bank when you click ‘deposit all’ so you have to retrieve them:P 50/50 here use the skins but when you get lvl 80 much cooler skins will be available. only thing i value is the title ‘champion of the gods’. not much notice you got it but i just like it:P

I’m in the same boat as you OP. I quit during Nightfall and never played EOTN. Therefore I got absolutely nothing for my 4-5 years of dedication to the game. It sucks but what can you do.

Hall of Monuments.. It’s there to reward the original GW1 players with the years of work and dedication. There are no REAL rewards. Just some iffy skins and titles.

If you’re irrate that you can’t get something you didn’t earn through months/years of work, then maybe you should put forth the effort in GW1/EOTN that we [gw1 OGs] did.

Yahh thats my point, we can make Anet hear us and maybe they will make a new reward for us trought acc link. But nothing will work if just me and you post in this post.

Did you read my post? RLY

I have Guild Wars 1 + Guild Wars Faction + Guild Wars Nightfall means i support anet for 3~4 years playing GW1 and got nothing on GW2

Have a friend just bought GW1 + Eye of The North a few weeks before GW2 launch and he got Hall of Monuments

Did you understand now? Did you need i draw for you?

That’s a fair point. But it still begs the question as to why the other expansions didn’t get any love? I played them all EXCEPT EOTN and I get nothing? That seems a bit silly to me. I would be content with maybe a title for Factions and Nightfall completion.. Not asking much, still I don’t care either way. It just doesn’t seem right really.

Seriously?

They very clearly stated that the Hall of Monuments required GW:EN. Its been that way since the Hall of Monuments came out long before GW2 even had a release date.

The Hall of Monuments is an ingame mechanic rewarding players for acheiving things in GW1. It works fine. Its only rewards are some minis, a few titles and skins for armor and weapons.

They could have alternatively not given old players anything. The Hall of Monuments wasnt something they had to do for us.

You got what you payed for when you first bought and played GW1. The Hall of Monuments was a nice extra that came out with GW:EN.

Edit: as a side note, just completing the campaigns didnt get you many points in the HoM. You had to earn titles, max out reputation with factions, recruit and get the prestige armor for heros, earn the rarer weapons, buy multiple sets of prestige armor and collect alot of minis and several rare hunters pets.

It took alot of work. Even with the Hall of Monuments and without the stuff in Eye of the North, just completing the 3 first stories wouldnt get you 8 points unless you completed the missions on at least two of the campaigns in hard mode or had alot of your heros in prestige armor.

We’ve known for quite a long time that you would need EoTN to get the HoM rewards. It’s not like this was shocking news on GW2’s release. It’s one of the reasons I kept playing GW1.

It was made to be the bridge between 1 and 2, introducing the races and story we now have in GW2. The reward for supporting that expansion is access to the HoM.

I don’t really have anything positive to add to the discussion itself but I did want to clear one thing up…

You can in fact access HoM without ever owning EoN, you just can’t get any rewards from it otherwise.

No ones saying thats wrong, but the way they did its not fair for those who have other expansions and no EoN, in my opinion everyone who suported the arenanet somehow by completing in game story and archievements or for buying those expansions should be rewarded.

Exactly.

When they released GW:EN (it’s not EOTN) and announced GW2 was in development, they said that the HOM achievements would be linked to GW2.

I even went back to GW1 for a few weeks to get some extra unlocks. Sounds like the OP just wants something for free. Those of us that do have the HOM paid for it, and most paid a lot more than just the $19.00 that it is now.

As previously stated, as well, it’s just a few armor/weapon skins, some mini pets that don’t even count towards GW2 mini achievements, and titles for every 5 HOM points. It’s nothing to get yourself worked up over. But if you’re one of those that must do/have everything, then spending $19.00 for GW:EN, and spending months/years grinding out those points is your only option.

19 dollars? Okay, online it’s 19, but have you checked local stores? I know there are stores nearby where I could pick it up for 5 euros.

They do rewards players who supported GW1. The ones who supported through EOTN. You didn’t so you don’t get the rewards.

Simple as that.

Sounds like give me your dollars or you wont get anything?

It’s actually been known since EotN was announced, and you get more stuff and more opportunities for stuff the more campaigns you have, so the idea that you don’t get rewarded for having all of them over just one is a bit of a stretch.

Anyway it can be had for about $10 these days, and it’s a fantastic value for that.

You can get rewarded for having just prophecies and eye of the north too. Or just Factions and Eye of the North. This isn’t a greed thing from Anet, no matter how you feel. Saying it is won’t garner you any sympathy.

That’s the most recent game they came out with that they programmed the mechanic into of the hall of monuments. It’s the place where your achievements are recorded. Those achievements don’t apply to the other games, because the place didn’t exist in the other games.

Anet should what, go back and reprogram old games to give you stuff? Now who’s unreasonable?

yan.9513:

Actually it sounds like “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I didn’t buy EOTN and demand that Anet give me free stuff even though I didn’t get the thing that is required for said stuff!”

You knew for a YEAR or more that you would need EOTN to get the bonus.

Your fault. All of it.

So what if someone just got GW1 and EOTN and got the Hall. It does nothing special for them. They would actually need all of them to get anything. Sure EOTN gave you about 5 titles and some new heros to play with. You actually needed all of them to get anything.

It is not a “Screw You”. The hall was an afterthought of EOTN. They just started adding to it with more storylines, and there was even a few storylines that you had to buy.
The hall was for your legacy. I guess you have not looked that the calculator to actually see what need to be done to get anything. I don’t remember the grinds to get the titles that I did, just to get skins, minis and pets.

But IMHO, the skins are meh. I feel the grind does not really out weight what I got.

BTW, I was a year late on GW1 but got everything before they even talked about the hall. Even bought the collection for a second copy before they even mentioned it.

Supporting ArenaNet/GW for years? What are you people talking about? Did you send them money every month? As far as I can tell, you bought a piece of entertainment from them, like a proper consumer does from a company. You then enjoy said piece of entertainment by playing the game. In what world is that supporting anyone?

We loyal GW1 players did a cheerleader dance every day for Anet. If THAT is not supportive, I don’t know what it.

I agree with Arduin. You are making it seem like you financially supported this company through your 4-5 years of playing their game. However, in actually, you used up their server resources for 4-5 years by entertaining yourself with their content, and now you demand free stuff because you believe you supported them. I’m not so sure there is a better definition of “gamer entitlement”. And the person that said they got absolutely nothing from playing GW 4-5 years? Really? If you got absolutely nothing from it, why did you play it for 4-5 years? Uggh, some people annoy the heck outta me….

Actually I would say I’m an Anet supporter (though I don’t feel I’m entitled to anything for it). I’m an Anet supporter because I spend money in the cash shop, even in Guild Wars 1 I did, mostly because I liked the game. I didn’t really need some of the costumes I bought and I didn’t care.

The way I see it, I paid pennies per hour for the entertainment Guild Wars 1 gave me. A few bucks here and there as a thank you meant nothing to me.

Of course, I also sold a whole bunch of people on Guild Wars 1 and Guild Wars 2. I’m directly responsible for at least 20 sales of this game, which sorta makes me a supporter.

But yeah, the whole entitlement thing is sorta weird.

You gave Anet your dollars for “Guild Wars 1 + Guild Wars Faction + Guild Wars Nightfall and got nothing”?

You got the same as everyone else. You got 3-4 years of great game play. You didn’t pay for HOM, so you should not get the benefits that were announced before it came out.

Why are you still arguing the point? They announced that if you bought and played HOM you’d see some rewards in GW2. You DO get what you PAID for.

;)

I’m going to call into question right now the idea that someone could have been “cheer leading every day” for Anet for all of these years and NOT have known at the time that the Hall of Monuments was a feature exclusive to EOTN. It was pretty much the most advertised feature of the expansion when it was coming out. The only way someone could be finding out about this now is if they never payed attention to the game after Nightfall came out.

As a gw1 player with many alts I just had one account linked to gw2 . Am I upset that none of my other alts are not in gw2 NO as many have said guys just want and want

You did not support gw1 if you did not purchase Eye of the North you are complaining that you cant have a skin yes a skin you want that’s all

Do you know how hard it is to read websites while doing backflips? o0

Sorry, but if you played for 4 years and then quit before EotN, you did not actually play the game enough to get HoM rewards… which are merely skins which you will rarely use. Tough luck.

You got to keep your original character names.

Kodesh.2019:

You got to keep your original character names.

Which is a great boon for me, I tend to use this character name across several games, or at least relatives of the family I think if I went back through my old notes I could actually have a family tree starting in Vesper.

Yan, we’ve known for years that EotN would grant us rewards if we filled up the HoM. We had years to work on it. Your first post has me wondering, what prevented you from getting EotN in the first place?

If there is one thing about HOM that can be considered FAIL, it would be how inconvenient to get access to the rewards. I have only tried it out for the first month since launch, then I just don’t bother teleport to HOM every time, talk to the npc, obtain the skin and transmutate the armor piece by piece.

I’m pretty sure since you didn’t buy EoTN that you probably don’t even have enough points to get what you want…so sorry about your ~6 points you are missing out…wow that’s totally game breaking.

If they were giving out ascended items left and right for having the hall I’d see were you are coming from, but this is just skins that are there to show you played gw1 for a while and that’s it.

That being said, I really enjoy my decked out hom. Have you seen the light armor attire? I think it goes absolutely perfectly with the mesmer class, in fact much better then anything in the game currently. And the flaming dragon sword! Oh my, the flaming dragon sword! How awesome it is to actually dual wield it with jormags breath, which would be totally impossible if I didn’t have it you know? God, I really couldn’t stand it, especially if I knew there were people out there who could have this awesome stuff and I can’t, and to think of how they might taunt me for it…

I DON’T KNOW WHY WE ARE YELLING!!!

Owning EoTN in order to get HoM rewards was announced 5 years ago, why are you bringing this up now?

HoM was an incentive to buy EOTN back when people thought GW2 was right around the corner, and to keep people playing GW1 while they finished GW2. Since you didnt do either one, why would you get the rewards?

If you want the skins and titles, pay the 20 bucks, and if not then dont whine about it.

Posted this somewhere else but fits better here.

Probably because I give up for a time from GW1.

I went back to playing GW1 like 6 months before the release of GW2 and was expecting ArenaNet would consider giving something for older players not by buying EoN.

They should reward everyone like other publisher does.

The question is:

What makes ppl with EoN better than others? (if you consider HoM a reward)

Why they didnt reward everyone with GW1 GW Faction and GW Nightfall, not saying should be Hall of Monuments. (if you consider HoM a paid feature)

And plz less fanboys some ppl advocate ArenaNet like majority shareholders.

Just because someone doesn’t agree with you doesn’t make them a fanboy. I will defend the right of ferrari to charge whatever they want for their cars not because I like their kittenty cars but because is not require, not mandatory and a cheap kia can do the job as well.

Your original premise was dumb, don’t act surprise that some people are not supporting you. also at EoTN it was said that you will be storing your achievement and it will carry over via the EoTN. so really the only one to blame is yourself.

Ignorance is not really an excuse, well I guess it is in this age of first world problems.

I got EotN off of amazon for $5. It’s not that big of a deal. Anet announced 5 years ago that if you got EotN you could dedicate your GW1 achievements there to earn GW2 perks. You are just being silly.

If they accommodated for the people who didn’t get eotn then where would it end? I owned all three and my HoM is very slim. Should I get bonuses for doing the other stuff that I did do?

Their goal was to reward their most loyal customers; the people who played the game a long time and bought all of the expansions. If you should be rewarded for buying and playing the other parts of the game then Jimcanthony Joebob should be rewarded for buying the base game and putting in 5 minutes because he supported Anet just as much as you did. (Note: supporting a company is about money, not about playing. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that a company isn’t out to make money.)

Ok sir let me say you being ignorant read again and try to get another perspective about what i am trying to say.

All right, I can see your perspective. (I think it’s a very self-centered one, but that’s okay.) You think that all GW1 players deserved something for playing that before they bought GW2 . . .

. . . and they deserved it without purchasing the last product for the game.

. . . even though it was common up to that point that if you wanted the goods for an expansion/campaign you had to buy the campaign.

So, they were supposed to make an exception, because some people decided they didn’t want to buy EOTN for whatever reason. Even though you can still go back with an EOTN code, start it up, and work your Hall like everyone else had to, as they never shut that off?

Stop and examine that for a moment. For simply owning the game, you want them to give you the same preference as people who didn’t stop playing like you did, over . . . what I’m going to reiterate here . . . is just a cosmetic set of items? Items which are not a time-limited offer yet?

I’m getting this correct, yes?

Why would it be Anet’s fault that you didn’t play GW1 (all titles) – get all the achievements and fill your Hall of Monuments up with your goodies?
You could have, prior to GW2 being released, played GW1.
Unfortunately, your gripe is really not a valid one in my opinion and I respectfully disagree with your position.

You can still go back and fill parts in of the Hall you need to get more rewards or titles. It didn’t stop, as far as I’m aware. Someone check this.
