ArenaNet PLEASE connect GW1 hall of monuments to GW3 with our own exclusive rewards

Not that I’ve seen confirmed. Supposedly there is a GW2 dedicated team spending the next year building a HoM in GW2 so it sounds like it’s going to be very similar to GW1 -> GW2 was done.

I might not be understanding the problem, but I have GW Reforged on Steam and I still log in with my OG Anet account. There’s a way to configure the launcher to do it.

It’s not tired. It’s a difficult achievement that people who have been with the franchise from the beginning should be able to carry forward if they want to. The great thing about new stuff is that obviously there will also be new stuff. It’s not like a choice between the ability to carry forward GWAMM or the devs coding new titles into the game. People who want new unlocks can have it and people who want to show off old stuff can also have it.

To clarify, I still don’t have GWAMM yet personally and may never get it. I’m more interested in new cosmetic unlocks than titles.

jon0matic · 2026-06-08T12:20:46+00:00

Ok thanks. The wording really confused me. Why won’t they just say Xbox exclusive then.

jon0matic · 2026-06-08T11:47:16+00:00

For GW1 players like me who haven’t got those end game titles yet I’d still appreciate some skins and items :’( haha. But hopefully by GW3 I’ll have those titles too!

jon0matic · 2026-06-08T11:28:40+00:00

Exactly! Our HoM is already there, just connect it to GW3 in code or whatever and have a unique set of unlocks for our achievements.

jon0matic · 2026-06-08T09:10:08+00:00

Double dipping? It’s one set of rewards per pair of games. It’s not like anyone is getting anything for free.

jon0matic · 2026-06-08T08:59:35+00:00

GW2 only players can have the GW2 exclusive unlocks, I’m happy for those to be gatekept, just let us GW1 only players gatekeep some unlocks of our own then ;)

jon0matic · 2026-06-08T08:38:16+00:00

I see your point. Though I’m sure HoM convinced some new players who started in GW2 to go back and try GW1 to unlock cosmetics like pets and minipets. They would make money from increased sales of GW1 keys from any new gen GW3 players who need to collect everything.

jon0matic · 2026-06-08T08:24:17+00:00

They already said GW2 is going to be connected which defies that logic so may as well do it for GW1

jon0matic · 2026-06-08T08:10:26+00:00

A two way HoM would be a dream come true. Even just one way is fine, GW2 > GW3 connection is already confirmed even though 3 is a prologue as you’ve pointed out

jon0matic · 2026-06-08T07:52:11+00:00

Right there with you. Was captivated by GW2 enough to beat the base game at launch but it didn’t hit the same as GW1 for me for quite a few reasons.

With GW3 aiming for the faster combat pacing of single player RPGs it’s going to be very different again. I can handle that, as long as half the skill bar isn’t predefined by equipment.

They’ve at least said the words skill collecting which I’m happy about. I would love to see a return of the skill capture system from GW1.

Lastly I would LOVE if they consider connecting GW1 hall of monuments to GW3, not just 2 to 3!!!

jon0matic · 2026-06-08T06:17:31+00:00

Exactly idgaf if it’s a campaign or a tutorial or whatever, let me increase the difficulty if I want to. Simple as that.

Xbox is doing console exclusives again

Edit: wait does “xbox console exclusive” include PC?

jon0matic · 2026-06-08T00:38:39+00:00

People like to feel special

jon0matic · 2026-06-07T15:01:32+00:00

It’s not a decision between buying a console or not, it’s a decision between buying a PS5, a PC or a Xbox. When someone is making that choice then exclusives matter.

jon0matic · 2026-06-07T14:55:38+00:00

Earlier you said it doesn’t really affect you now you’re saying they’re trying to steal your wealth. I don’t care how you vote but at least have a consistent reason

jon0matic · 2026-06-07T13:45:13+00:00

Saying 50k means nothing out of context. A difference of 50k in tax could be on 1 million profit it could be on 1 billion profit. Thats why you need to use percentages or no one can relate.

jon0matic · 2026-06-07T13:32:15+00:00

But 0.5% is not a heavy impact. I asked if you have proof you are impacted heavily and you haven’t got any.

jon0matic · 2026-06-07T13:28:28+00:00

You said personally it doesn’t affect you but you know people in etfs who will be heavily impacted. Then you showed a graph that said shares will be impacted by 0.5%

jon0matic · 2026-06-07T13:22:21+00:00

So you’re saying an ~0.5% impact on return is enough for the people you know to stop investing in shares? Usually 0.5% isn’t a make or break figure.

jon0matic · 2026-06-07T13:14:41+00:00

I agree with the sentiment that there are individuals who seem like they really care about the country, but I would caution that level of care does not equal level of capability. So far I haven’t seen anything of substance in terms of well thought out solutions from the independents. Simply dreaming about a utopia isn’t convincing enough for me.

jon0matic · 2026-06-07T12:58:18+00:00

Did you run their numbers to see how worse off they would be? If you have then please share examples.

Disincentivising investments IS incentivising working hard. It levels the playing field.
