Something that hasn't been mentioned (I think): if you're playing a caster, have a shield set ready (if possible, with +armor versus the elemental damage you're likely to take) and swith to it accordingly.

Was making my way to Elona Reach via Diviners Ascent and before I knew it I was dead, those damn Hydras, arrrrgggg I wanted to scream, those have to be the hardest hitting creatures I have faced since starting Guild Wars.

I know the survivor Title has a lot of bad press nowadays because of the old HFFF and the Punchout Quests, but I wanted to get it just playing the game.

Anyone else gotten this title just playing normally and what tips could you advise if I decide to try again?

Cheers

Shadow

I lost my survivor title in the crystal desert too, but in my case they were those sand elementals, with their shock+aftershock combo

Then i did it with Kilroy, but i really admire all of those who managed to do it the "real" way.

My advice to you is to keep always open the guild roster [G], and to be ready to press Guild Hall if things go wrong.

Good luck^^

I made two attempts at a survivor, both failed.
First I died because my game lagged out whilst trying to map from Fronis Irontoe's lair.

Second I died because Ogden managed to run out of energy with skills that cost no more than 5 energy. He was spamming them on the other players in the party who were all around 90% health.
I was sitting on 10% health screaming my head off at him for being a useless midget.

Almost the same thing happened tpme, but it was the Droks run that caused it.
Some harpy thought it would be fun to play w. the stone summit after going thru the portal to Dreadnaught's and bam, there were about 25 on us. Before i could even run back thru, we were all dead, save the runner of course
