Question about the survivor track - Guild Wars Forums

ThisIsMadness · Nov 04, 2007, 08:34 PM // 20:34

Okay, I've read abit about the survivor track and everything and it says on guildwiki you MUST have 0 deaths.

Does that mean on my character I can't achieve this title becuase when I typed /death it comes up with 397 lol.

So what I'm wondering is if I gain the required amount of XP with my death counter as it is still at 397 do I get the track, or is it that it MUST be 0 deaths?

Thanks for your time.

Nope, you must be at 0 deaths to get Survivor.

Yes, 0 deaths. You'll need to make a new character if you want to try for the title.

There's been some talk about Anet possibly doing something along the lines you mentioned - getting the required amount of XP without dying - to give those people who've been playing since Proph (before titles were introduced) a chance to earn that title, but I don't think that's going to happen.

I think that was more of a wishful dream talked about on this board rather than anything that was really going to happen.

Agree with poster above.

Yes, I should have clarified that there's been some talk on the forum here, though I seem to recall that talk was generated by some comments from Anet, which could have been nothing more than the usual "we're looking into it" brush-off.

Actually, what happened was somebody asked Gaile, during an in-game chat session, a question about payment methiods on the online store and she answered "yes." In between the original question and the time it took her to type the response, somebody asked her "will they ever allow us to get the survivor title after we died?" or something to that affect. People thought her yes to the first question was an answer to the second, and the chat log was cropped and spread around forums.
As far as I know, a.net has never actaully addressed this, though it seems unlikely they will change it any time soon.
