Veeery nice. I *think* I might be able to get a Survivor through Prophecies if I was careful (much more so than I tend to be), but I'm pretty sure I couldn't do it in Factions.

To tell more, we've finished the mission just to prolong the fun, all I needed this time was the bonus, as I've already passed the original campaign on that character about 2 months ago. Guild Wars is a team game, and I certainly can tank Jade Armors when there are good healers, but why would I try to tank one NPC when the other Warriors are already working on it? What you're saying is like: "Dude, you need to do the screenshots, type /deaths, fight the Lich and look as if you're worth the title you have". To me, it sounds like a lame attempt to show that I did nothing particular, I could care less, really.

The point of the title is to play through the game, and battle against the foes and survive.. hence 'survivor'...Standing on the steps while your friends beat the lich around the bloodstone isn't surviving, it's running through a game.

As for ripping someone for an accomplishment? Who is ripping anyone here? I haven't seen anything accomplished except for another farmed title that means absolutely nothing.

They need a title 'paying $$ for game run'

eh..games about cooperation with other ppl to beat things, not sit back and let em fight for u. gettin to the end without dying...eh prob had guildy monks or close friends who made sure u didnt die. if in trouble u just drop out of a mission, whats teh fun in that. w/e kinda as pointless as the survivor title.

If you'll look at this screenshot, you'll see the original area where I've been getting my experience from, that is Diviner's Ascent. You'll also see the build I used to solo the enemies, this is a tricky area with 2 Sand Drake bosses, and one of them (Ele) isn't too easy to kill. Plus, you're always attacked by 2-3 enemies at once.

Soloing Diviners Ascent with a W/Mo is easy, any n00b can do it ... Glad, Rip, Deadly Rip ... Heal Sig, Mend, whatever ... I can honestly say I have never died fighting sand drakes or sand drake bosses. If I could get a new char run through the game that far I could probably get those titles too. But alas all my char slots are full and I'm not about to buy a new account just to prove a point. Maybe when they start selling slots I'll give it a go.

Well, I by no means, am saying anything negative about the OP, I just feel sure about the quest for the title being a farce. Look at it this way....people see a tank with title 3 survivor and they can think several things... one being a: this guy must be a good, strong tank, can take a beating and survive it! (of course, they can think a multitude of things, this is just an example) When in actuality, in the photos you see, him standing far far back, or, weilding a staff and spamming heal party with a monk secondary. Not quite what the prospective group would be thinking of when they see a 'tank who can take a beating and survive'.

This is why I am not impressed because the title isn't accurate, in this case. If that makes sense.

PS: A mission isn't about "I'm pretty sure the other 6 people could beat it theirselves" It's about cooperation...

Wow, nice job bud. Now do it with an Elementalist! Hehe.

Hey hey. Well, what you're saying is: "I don't really care if you were a rank 3 Survivor by that time or not, but you should have fought every monster you've met"... I wonder how many times we actually pwned the Lich during the process of making the screenshots, must be 4 or something like that =)

I dunno, really, for me it was quite an accomplishment, knowing that you're the only person on the entire server having the 3rd rank of that title (see the date of the original post to get what I mean). Do I care about it now? Not from the time I've seen another Legendary Survivor in the game. And at the beginning I wasn't doing that for the title, as there simply have been no Survivor (or any other) titles at all.

All right folks, as there's nothing else left to comment, I'll refrain from replying to this topic in order not to produce more "I don't like what you did" content. See you in-game.

I'm not impressed.

Do it as an Assassin, and complete the factions campaign as well, then i'll give you a golf clap.
