Grade on the survivor title: F--

If you scroll down a little bit, I failed on my survivor title (more details below) on my ranger. I mean, there are several people here that failed on getting the one-shot chance survivor and such. Here, we discuss times where we failed on achieving the survivor title, how you failed it, and what do you do?

I'm might be planning to go for the skill hunter or have the ranger shoot an arrow on himself (in other words, RESTART).

Hey, I try not to get mad here.

I died on my ritualist having earned about 1.15m XP. I rage deleted him.

The thing I'm most upset about is not getting all the free chests from Nightfall!

The survivor title is really hard, I might not delete my ranger because I spend 35k+ on that guy, I could just sell all of my scrolls and crap and go for skill hunter (a.k.a. mudkipz), although skill hunter takes longer IMHO.

When that happens, I roll my face in the keyboard in frustration!

I failed survivor on my ranger so yeah, I went the way of Dark Paladin and just got him skill hunter to look leet.

I kill any new character at least once immediately so that I don't ever have to see those words or that title on my account.

Ignorance ftw.

I do the same these days. It's soooo stressful trying not to die.

Survivor isn't fun to get, thus I don't do it, 'nuff said.

Kook~NBK~ · Sep 16, 2007, 12:25 AM // 00:25

I failed at it once, fortunately in the early stages (a bonehead move will do that) - rerolled the character and went to town. Use LOTS of preparation, trepidation, and concentration (plus a good bit of perspiration and paranoia) to get it back.

This is often the results of those who go for survivor

*And the pic shown here is Dawn from the hit reality TV series Pokemon. I don't watch the show myself, but my younger cousin is a fan of it. I'm 18 years old and I outgrown it, although I do intentionally make funny articles on pokemon on uncyclopedia. I'm just want to convert my anger to humor.*

Here are the attempts I remember. There may have been more, but these are the most important.

1st attempt: Necromancer. Disconnected outside of the harbor in Factions. Logged back in, and had a death. Deleted.

2nd attempt: Necromancer. Made it to survivor. Died in Arborstone mission, final part. This was before Nightfall, so no heroes. Deleted.

3rd attempt: Ranger. Made it to survivor. Died en route to solo Galrath. (I've done it before, but I underestimated a skeleton mob.) Deleted.

4th attempt: Monk. Made it to Indomitable Survivor. Made it to rank 2 before the release of NF and heroes. 9 months old. Died when attempting to farm vermin in hard mode. Deleted.

Accidental attempt: Assassin. Originally intended to be a farmer and PvPer. Accidentally made it to Survivor. Deleted for just that reason.

*The accidental attempt came while my monk was still eligible for survivor 3. I have made no further attempts to create a survivor character for the time being.

go through the campaigns with a bonder hero and you will not die

HawkofStorms · Sep 16, 2007, 01:56 AM // 01:56

Eh, I still lag hard core every now and then (1 frame every 15 seconds). It'd be impossible to even try for survivor for me.

Screw Survivor titles. It's Diablo 2 Hardcore all over again. Waste of effort and nerves. Woohoo, you're a Legendary Survivor! So f***ing what? While you were agonizing and carefully farming XP I was having fun and dying every now and then. You want to punish yourself by going for that title because you've got to prove your e-peen is bigger, knock yourself out, have a blast, more power to you. Turns a game into an ordeal.

Looks like some one used Frenzy on their survivor warrior.

Actually, it was a Dervish, and I found out that Mirage Cloak, Veil of thorns, Mystic Regen, Mystic Vigor and Armor of Sanctity won't always save your ass.

Stolen Souls · Sep 16, 2007, 02:55 AM // 02:55

After getting legendary on my Warrior I told myself I'd never bother with that title again. Now I find myself trying to avoid dying on my new Ranger. >.>

Dying while going for the title basically leaves you with two choices...just keep going and forget the title. OR...start all over again. :/ Not always an easy choice.

Peter Panic · Sep 16, 2007, 03:07 AM // 03:07

There's a balance that can be had between the challenge of not dying and going out and not worrying about it. That's why I have multiple characters. I'd play my survivor for a few days and take a week off that to play my other characters. The only time I seriously ground out XP was during a double XP for skill capping weekend.

A /seppuku command would be nice; it would relive my urge of abdomen peircing that I get from my...3 failed rits, 1 failed dervish, 1 failed assassin and 1 failed ranger.
