Default Survivor Points

Have you ever had a survivor and died at rank 2 almost 3 or jsut rank 1 or not even survivor ranekd. I feel it would nice if GW sold a scroll for a couple hundred plat or 100plat or w/e amount that removed 1 death.

I would /sign this if it was made to be a one-time only thing for older chars that did not know about this title when they died.

Dwarven Boxing Hard?

And I would guess with the only 5-6 hours needed with the above technique remaking would be more optimal for most than 100k+

Not all players got survivor by boxing. I got my first before EOTN or any 'quick' builds were in vogue. And..yup, died more than a few times painfully close, due to lag, being to tired (read: did something reallll stupid). It was one of the few titles I have ever realy been interested in and it felt good because it was so hard to get. It was gotten using a bunch of scrolls, caping Elites on special weekendsand playing a different ( careful ) game.

Terrible idea. There are much better solutions for LS.

Not a good idea, because after my survivor died right after rank 2, i stopped pussyfooting around and probably died 666 times since then.

i would sign for a death reset because the way i got my first death was because my game froze while in bukdek byway and by the time i got reconnected i was eating dirt spinning in circles. My ping icon was nice and green too

/Signed for characters that existed before the title came into being to have a ONE-TIME death count reset (via whatever method) for the purpose of allowing that character ONE shot at LS. As someone who is working on title #30 with my main, I'd MUCH rather grind out the XP needed to get LS than run around in that dark, dismal forest farming Kurzick faction!

Unless you are doing some freaky good power trading, I'm calling BS on this one.



It would be nice to have better options for survivor, but this isn't the best one I have heard.

You know, the point of survivor is... you know... survive? Dying kinda defeats the purpose.

Maybe if you had used SEARCH you would see this has been suggested many times, and always gets the same responses.

Wrong way sir.

It shouldn't be a buyable title.

Survivor title needs an update but not like this. Main problem with Survivor is the fact our old favorite characters created before Factions release had no way of obtaining it.

The only reasonable way of fixing the title is adding a way to Transfer it from another character of the same profession and campagin - so it doesn't get any easier, you have to go all the way with one char and it must be the same char.
A must-have restriction: you shouldn't be able to transfer survivor to a LDoA character, obviously.

An optional restriction - transfer to characters created before Factions release only.

Or even more to make it even harder: Give every old Pre-Factions character only 1 chance - you must create a new char of the same profession in Tyria, link it with your old char, and must get Legendary Survivor without leaving to Cantha/Elona/GW:EN areas, without learning any skills other than Core or Prophecies and maybe even without using Hard Mode.

Granted I agree that this suggestion would defeat the whole idea of the "survivor" title and I recoginze that the survivor title is now global to the account, I do often feel as Kook has indicated above. My main toon was created on day one of the Prophicies release (didn't realize they would keep the beta character skins so I dumped them to remake at release )and has been used in everything this game has to offer therefore had a fair share of deaths. Even though; at some point, I'll dump my PvP slot for a time being to earn the survivor title (when the title grind comes closer to a halt), I'd much rather it be earned on the main character I'm actually working on (somehow just doesn't feel right to pass the title over and would much raterh earn it on that toon but then again, this wasn't even on the radar when the character was created).


only /signed for the idea of pre-dating the survivor title for old characters.

would rather have a diffrent fix to this. Temperary resetting xp points through npc,book, or something that would allow you to start over besides recreating a character again.

Please do not post joke threads in Sardelac.

The only thing Survivor needs is a way to retry it anytime without having to delete or create new characters.

I would sign for this. 1-time-only reset for pre-factions chars.

But OPs idea is total BS.
