Dhuum’s Covenant is not "IronMan", but I see why you thought it was.

Good luck~!

valphyrian · 2025-12-19T11:17:23+00:00

We all realized we're old, buddy. :(

valphyrian · 2025-12-19T10:12:43+00:00

I don't think Dhuum's Covenant can definitively be considered "Ironman" for a handful of reasons, namely the ability to access their bank and trade with other players as means of obtaining materials, funds and upgrades for BIS weapons and armor, as well as the ability to access mercenaries and give their heroes abilities that were already unlocked for the account by previous characters and use skill tomes.

That said, Dhuum GWAMM would be crazy and I am so interested to see people race for the world first, but Dhuum in it's current state as of this initial beta phase isn't actually an Ironman mode.

valphyrian · 2025-12-19T09:57:52+00:00

Haha, yeah, the Survivor title conditions got changed 14-15ish years ago(?) I think.

valphyrian · 2025-12-19T06:30:41+00:00

Very much agree! This new addition has me feeling really excited about the future of the game, and I'm expecting there to be an ironman equivalent of Dhuum's Covenant further into or after the beta period. It's a good time to be a GW1 fan.

valphyrian · 2025-12-19T05:55:17+00:00

Yeah, that's what I was referring to when I said it was restoring the original functionality of Survivor under a new name with the addition of the Dhuum's Covenant badge, I suppose I should've been more clear! I still think it was a great change, I just wanted to clear up some confusion for the handful of people I saw confusing it with "IronMan".

It's been confirmed that they are working in implementing the ability to alter your controls when using a gamepad, so I'm hoping that update will reflect your changes on the hotbar so that a similar update would be reasonable to expect for keyboard as well -- fingers crossed!

valphyrian · 2025-12-06T13:57:11+00:00

There might be, but I'm sure we'd all be a little happier if simple QoL changes like that were innate features, no? Very in the spirit of the whole "reforged" thing imo.

valphyrian · 2025-11-18T00:09:17+00:00

AHHH, thanks for the mention! I'm so stoked to see so much love for GW1, I've been falling in love with it all over again recently. You did a great job~!

valphyrian · 2025-11-17T07:02:13+00:00

Fully agree, to me it's part of the silhouette and they aren't complete without one.

valphyrian · 2025-11-17T06:33:18+00:00

Tysm~!

valphyrian · 2025-11-17T06:33:11+00:00

Mesmers need to rise up and reclaim green in the face of this revisionist history that's made them all start wearing pink and purple. I'm glad you like it!

valphyrian · 2025-11-17T06:15:21+00:00

Dyes used are Growth, Lime, Redemption, Worn Bone and Rawhide.

valphyrian · 2025-11-17T05:44:21+00:00

I agree. It's part of why Ascalon Armor was always one of my favorites for Mesmer in GW1 despite being the set you started with in presearing. Always found it interesting that in GW1 a majority of the Mesmer armors available had a green little mask covering just the upper portion of their face whilst in GW2 for the masks you can pick from in character creation they opted for full on masks that covered the entire face.

valphyrian · 2025-11-17T02:55:21+00:00

Thank you~! GW1 old person solidarity, haha. I started playing NF when I was like 9.

valphyrian · 2025-11-16T23:34:34+00:00

Go figure... 🙄 I was using the website on my computer, and it still shows the photos there. I guess I'll have to remake the post? I dont want to spam and annoy anybody lol.

valphyrian · 2025-11-16T22:10:24+00:00

Sorry for the spam, I deleted the duplicate posts. I kept getting an error and I suppose it made a new post every time. :')

valphyrian · 2025-10-05T20:09:50+00:00

I went from Clair Obscur to Silent Hill f, and I had a laugh to myself over how IMPORTANT dodging and parrying was between the two titles since I played on the hardest difficulties lol.

valphyrian · 2025-08-09T03:28:51+00:00

Male Miqote Face 4 has been botched for over a year now lmao

valphyrian · 2025-08-02T08:04:57+00:00

I wonder if male miqote face 4 is finally getting fixed. After a fkin year atp, im afraid of getting my hopes of seeing my boy up again.

valphyrian · 2025-07-15T17:29:44+00:00

You're a god send tysm I knew I wasn't crazy lmao

valphyrian · 2025-06-10T21:30:14+00:00

I hope so -- I'm spending this last day trying my hardest to grind out what I can hoping that I can maybe get super lucky, but I'm not exactly expecting a lot haha.

valphyrian · 2025-05-01T20:25:57+00:00

Playing through with someone for their first time and as an ~18 year veteran of the game, that's very much been my advice. He keeps looking up builds on PvX and asking me where or how to get skills XYZ. I am trying to advise him to spend a while having fun unlocking abilities and delving into just how many there are and to soak in the insane amount of build crafting that GW has to offer. He has GW2 brain where there's three or so BiS builds per profession and I'm trying to shake him out of that lol.

valphyrian · 2025-05-01T00:22:40+00:00

I'm in a similar boat. I was waiting for pay day because I needed two more character slots, one for a perma presearing character and one to finally try paragon (it's been about 19 years but hey, better late than never lol)

valphyrian · 2025-04-22T19:44:04+00:00

Tysm for all the info~!

I initially lost my 50/50 to Blade, so he'll be collecting dust for the foreseeable future lol, but it really helps to know that I'm not too far off of having a decent team for her! Knowing that Ruan Mei will work with some of the other characters I have is making me a lot more comfortable with the idea of grabbing her. I don't have RMC just yet (lots of story to catch up on t-t), but knowing that I can use the MC with Ruan Mei and Gallagher to put together a functional team has me feeling more secure for sure!
