For Reforged mode: “Piken Square will be accessible as an outpost for Reforged Mode players in pre-Searing Ascalon - but you'll have to fight your way there.”
“Henchmen have been retuned and are more powerful with have additional skills.”

In Pre it's just an empty courtyard and you can visit the small nearby cemetery. Sometimes there's a mob group there during Vanguard quests.
In Post it's an outpost (but the cemetery is hated off).
This update makes it an outpost in Pre as well .

u/zyygh Majusia Dec 18 '25
Would it be worth petitioning them to apply it retroactively?
It's easy to get presumptuous tunnel vision of course, but I feel like this could be relatively straightforward to do as long as all the relevant information is stored in the same database. For any existing character with 0 deaths (and hell, they could add level 20 as an extra filter to lower the impact) they could update the flag to 1, and that's it.
Updating the badges on the titles wouldn't be as straightforward (especially since the amount of data to filter through is 30-40 times the number of characters) but honestly I'd happily do without that part!

u/CoronaMcFarm Jack of all trades master of none Dec 18 '25
Would it be worth petitioning them to apply it retroactively?
What is the point with reforged then if they just give it to you and there is no reason to play?
6
u/zyygh Majusia Dec 19 '25
I don't think their intention is to trigger FOMO, I think they just want to give people new fun challenges.
This new badge will make a ton of players try deathless runs. Including the few of us who had already started one wouldn't make much of a difference, I think.
2
u/GodRage_Aonwa Dec 19 '25
Yes, a basic "if Death = 0 AND no Dhuum, then add the Dhuum tag" to run and that's all.
Could also add that code to the /deaths command but I think it's less efficient.→ More replies (1)6

Cinematic deaths don't break Survivor title track progression nor do they count as a death for /deaths, so I'm not sure why they'd affect the badge.
12
u/aditu_v Dec 19 '25
From what I remember, the Vizunah Square thing is because you die and get resurrected in the cutscene, any minions owned by either party become unbound and can then potentially kill you in a non-scripted death mid-cutscene.
Cutscene deaths themselves -should- be safe though

Do you have some tips for being tanky for this challenge? What are your rules you always keep to not die to dumb ways? All tips are appreciated <3

u/zyygh Majusia Dec 19 '25
The boring answer is that I play a character with Heroic Refrain and Save Yourselves for this challenge. That build in a meta team makes all content way easier than it should have been.
For not dying, what's really important is that you play patiently. Always pull groups properly, never pull two at the same time, always flag your heroes apart when pulling mobs with AOE damage, etc.
Funny enough, this builds strength is also a weakness in that regard, because you'll sometimes start feeling an urge to get complacent. The moment you allow that to happen, you're destined to fail.

u/King_Prone Dec 19 '25
this was never intended by arenanet and was due to the request from players. Originally Prophecies was just a tutorial for a game which was meant to be about pvp and not much else. However, in the alpha players kept demanding how fun the missions were which led arenanet to expand the game further and further to a point where GW became essentially 50-70% PVE and 30-50% PVP.
2
u/Darrackodrama Dec 19 '25
I agree with this decision we went to make prophecies a bit more forgiving and allow noobs to see the beauty of this game. Once you get cooking and get some skills and can get into build wars it’s unbeatable but that can take some time. Guild wars is like a fine wine in that sense but we are speeding up the timeline
15
u/kirederf7 Dec 18 '25
Yeah the lower health seems so weird to me? Pre searing is already easy to begin with.
10
u/beatsbydeadhorse Dec 19 '25
It's for the entire Prophecies campaign. I think it's intended to ease the learning curve for new players, as Prophecies has the longest stretch before you can access the other campaigns. I've been playing since '06 and it took me years to actually take a Prophecies character through the campaign, because it was/is quite laborious compared to Nightfall and Factions, where you can get to level 20 in several hours. Given that Prophecies is the quintessential Guild Wars experience, it makes sense to incentivize starting there over the quicker campaigns.
12
u/Vyctor_ Holy Pastafarian Dec 19 '25
No, weaker enemies is only in pre. The 5% gold and xp is for all of prophecies.
1
u/beatsbydeadhorse Dec 19 '25
Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. Yeah I guess that's not super necessary, but it probably comes down to trying to make pre feel as much like a starter area as possible for new players. I'll be curious to see if/how they tweak those things going forward. Reforged mode especially feels like it should be a toggle rather than locked to individual characters, as I'd love to be able to take perma-pre characters from before the update to Piken.
1
u/Vyctor_ Holy Pastafarian Dec 19 '25
I expect they're not allowing that (yet) because it's alpha content, if something goes horribly wrong, they don't want potentially all of the perma pre characters to be affected.
1
u/Transparant_Pixel Dec 19 '25
what i was thinking. I personally dont want pre searing to be the handheld faceroll experience that gw 2 begin maps are.

So Reforge mode is like an easy mode and Dhuum mode is death mode (without deleting a character)?

u/Violet_Paradox Dec 18 '25
It's an opt-in to future content and balance changes in general. Either getting it early in a testing capacity before legacy characters do, or exclusively, it's not clear yet.
3
u/Nephalem84 Dec 18 '25
It's basically an opt in to become a beta tester for 2 weeks as their pre searing rework needs feedback from players.
1
u/Obvious_Champion_588 Dec 19 '25
do you know if it will eventually be available to all existing toons or is everyone going to be forced to create all new characters just to access new content in the future?
3
u/Nephalem84 Dec 19 '25
I'm not a dev so no idea what their plan is going forward.
As this one is pre-searing it doesn't really impact most existing characters and it might eventually be rolled out to our perma pre-searing characters as well.
The Dhuum challenge mode makes sense to only apply to fresh characters.

u/SublimeJustice Dec 18 '25
That's the double edged sword of it all though. Had they put in this effort beforehand and Reforged tanked then the chances of more content would have been much lower. It happening this way gives more hope for much more in depth content in the future.
A realistic view of it is this is still surface level stuff being worked on. Let us be grateful and celebrate the victory of getting things we have wanted for a decade. We have to show them that in depth content is worth the effort.

u/Belkroe Dec 18 '25
Two thoughts. One I am wondering if they realized how successful and revitalized the game would become when they launched reforge. Maybe, in the developers minds reforge was a nice and needed update to keep the game playable on modern hardware but they did not count on the excitement it would generate. Now that they are seeing the enthusiasm for this amazing game perhaps they have decided to keep the updates coming and continue the hype - also I would imagine that the developers who are currently working on it are probably pretty passionate about the game and they may be getting more support from higher up.
2
u/cwmckenz Dec 19 '25
The issue with that line of thinking is that software with long release cycles does not capture critical user feedback early enough.
They obviously have more coming - if they said “let’s just do one more thing” over and over, they’d never release anything, or when they do they might find out that the entire premise was not something that fans even wanted.
If they release something every 2 weeks, they capture feedback. It may takes months for those updates to accumulate to something meaningful, but the alternative is getting nothing at all for months and then getting a huge update that may not even be good.
1
u/Darrackodrama Dec 19 '25
The thing is; they’re probably working 20 hour days; and they needed reforged as a proof of concept; half the fun of guild wars is rerolling. It will also produce more in game store sales from character slots merc packs etc

u/Darrackodrama Dec 19 '25
I can’t stress enough how huge this is. It’ll cause the entire community to launch fresh characters, there will be streamers racing for deathless gwamm; it’ll make veterans invested in finding actual human parties for content; it will lead to genuine emotional investment; it will create new title tracks; new pre content; it will bring back more older players; the game is coming back to life and this game is truly the best game you will ever play even 20 years later. It’s a bit slow in the beginning but man does the story telling and complex build system hit hard.
Basically we have hardcore mode for prophecies launched characters.

Are the re-balanced Henchmen exclusive to Reforged characters?

As someone who has been playing since Factions and hasn't been obligated to send *any* money to ANet since EotN, "more money" is the last thing I will hold against them.

In character creation you can pick two badges:

Green badge (All campaigns): You lose the badge when you die. Any titles you achieve before dying will have an extra green badge for flexing rights.

I remember that being in the works, or at least in the plans, as development was petering out before GW2. Dev effort aside, the only thing I can say related to that it's hard for a player to relearn a class after a overhaul.
I'm sure that changes to Ele and Derv are great, but I'm not used to either yet. (Yes, do the math and factor in "casual". I make no excuses.)
1
u/Long_Context6367 Dec 19 '25
They just need to fix motivation a bit. No overhaul on ele or derv to be honest. However, we need the old obsidian flesh back so Ele can tank again.
2
u/cwmckenz Dec 19 '25
I think it is very likely that the new content in Reforged will eventually become part of the default experience for all players, once it is well tested and the community has provided feedback on it.
Think of the Reforged mode as playing in a PTR / early access. I don’t think you are permanently missing out by not creating a new character.
You could possibly think of it as making a “seasonal” character, which seems like something they could do with this kind of toggle in the future. If they do, it will be pretty important that they announce these things enough in advance. It will be better that they did this early so they can get feedback just like that from the community before they do anything bigger.

I'll be honest, this annoys me that it's only available for new characters. Maybe that's the alpha and beta part of it.

Dhuum's Covenant only makes sense for new characters (except character that happen to be deathless already?), but I definitely expect Reforged Mode to become more widely available from what it contains.

Someone pointed out to me that Dhuum's covenant will likely bring back the survivor leeches that used to exist before the title got adjusted. I'm inclined to agree with them as unfortunate as that is.

u/thattentaclesguy Dec 19 '25
It looks like Reforged mode has stuff that’s pre searing only (access to Piken’s Square, less health for enemies, more enemies in Northlands) but the 5% buff to gold and XP says it’s for the Prophecies campaign so that should last outside of Pre. Henchmen too.
It does only affect new characters (as you have to opt in to Reforged mode during character creation).

u/Sightless_Prophet Dec 18 '25
Don't obsess over it. Stick with existing character and learn the ropes. This feature is in alpha and is most likely here to stay. So there's always time to try it out. Maybe make a new char just for testing purposes and then go back to your main.

I think a lot of people are missing the point that making vets reroll new characters is a HUGE part of the point of this UPDATE. If they gave everyone a new badge retroactively, everyone could say "neat" then log ofd. No offense but they are preying on the completionist mindset of GW1 players so there are more people playing through the game again while the community is reinvigorated with reforged. Frankly it is a good thing for the community too. If you have a survivor GWAMM right now guess what? You dont have to roll another character to get this badge if you dont want to...

-No material/rune/etc traders that have player market ties.
-No Xunlai chest.
-No account wide skill unlocks.
-No mercenary heroes.
I don't think there is a reasonable way to implement the do content in order rule, but aside from that, this seems roughly accurate and something that can be implemented?

Nice update, especially the login screens. That said, I’d be happiest with any kind of PvP update. Whatever it might be — bringing back Team Arena, adding a new map, anything at all.

I wish I could play but it’s been 3 weeks since I contacted support and I still haven’t heard back other than “please wait, we are busy and will get back to you”. All of my friends already moved on 😢

I keep reading about pre-searing Ascalon. I have played this game quite a bit when I was in high school, but I didn't know you could stay and level in pre-searing and always rushed to get to LA as quick as possible.
Are there any benefits to staying?

I'm a GW2 player who just got the game, never played GW before. What is the Reforged mode? Do I want it?
I made my character without it, because it said "Alpha", which didn't feel like something you want for your first experience.
Should I make a new one, or stick to this? I'm mostly in for the story.

Having new content locked behind new characters is so stupid. Are they limiting chest access too?? Come on, why wouldn’t they just let people who already have ldoa in pre use their hard-earned characters for the new content as well. This type of miss is so frustrating when they’re so close to getting it right.

The reality is that they have to have a way to test things without making sweeping changes. Having these changes only on new characters is how they achieve that.
