Thing is.
Most of the heroes come free, and if your going through the EotN brawl...heroes don't even matter.

Like I said before I got 1st rank in the title by accident with the SoS ritualist, and my 1st death came from being afk. That SoS ritualist does nothing but farm Underworld, and if I wanted to I could delete him to go for survivor with no actual loss since Elite ritualist tomes are not a problem at all to get. Easier than paying 10k. Then buying the extra skills when factoring that new characters start off paying only 50 gold, yeah it's easy to make a new character for the purpose of survivor. Considering the tomes can be farmed for free and probably get 1 in an hour if not more the actual cost of making a survivor, is like what 400 gold (skill wise) or so, and then tack on armor pieces? Even then armor wasn't a problem since going through shing je you can update your armor constantly and still pay peanuts. Get to the main land, and get some collector pieces (the easy ones) and then buy the rest. Spend probably less then 4k and maybe 4 hours. Then you can do whatever the hell you want.

For characters that reset they have less options. The longer you play the less experience available to you since you've most likely done more.
Augury Rock isn't available for exp, lots of 50,000 pt exp quests disappear etc.

If anything resetting also makes it a more fun title to pursue, you don't just have to go about it by farming, you can take the risks and play the game (like some have) to get the title knowing that if your financially sound you can drop the money to start over.
With the way it is now, it's really just "farm safely" because there is no safety net. So the allure of the title is what, farming?
GG. Great title.

I don't see your "loss" when heroes are free, and always come back with the same skills because of the skills being unlocked. Sure if you give your heroes customized equipment but who the hell would do that on a Survivor currently anyways?

Why are we limiting the accessibility for really? "I did it so everyone else should?" come on now.

Deleting a character just to make a survivor? I wouldn't do that. Last time I checked additional character slots can be purchased unless you have already maxed out the number of slots.

With the new Update, type /deaths and it comes up with info about how much exp you gained since last death. Looks like a new way to get this title. :-)

I'm so glad they are going to change this title; my main (tyrian, first toon i made) is one title close to GWAMM, so i won't had to grind luxon points or waste a week drinking.

I think it's one of the few titles that people can actually get without being a millionaire and having high-level players buy their way through multiple titles and HoM stuff. Let the poor players (me) have something I accomplished that can't be bought.

Heh... you haven't heard about the Hammer of Kathandrax exploit, haven't you?

On top of that, most titles can't be acquired with cash:
Protector, Guardian, Cartographer, Vanquisher, all the reputation titles, plus Gamer and all PvP titles.

Only the 'item titles' (those that require the use of items like booze, sweets, party items, boardwalk tickets or lockpicks) will require money or farming the item with festival quests to get them under a reasonable time. Zaishen can be considered an 'item title' too if you don't buy the keys from others, but it can be acquired rather soon by doing all daily ZQuests, including repeating PvP ones several times daily.

So it's actually the other way around. The titles you 'must buy' the item titles, not most of them.

my char has 50/50 and couldnt do survivor, im not bothered since if i really want it ill do it on another and I don'th think we should be making a retroactive change to this title.

especially not signed for all the LDoA's who could then get a legendary survivor title after 3million deaths . ridiculous

If they have a title like this in gw2 i will be very sad
I started over to get LS too and now it's my main

Mireles · Feb 27, 2011, 05:22 AM // 05:22

Normally i am against making titles easier....but, that title came out long after i had made 4 characters my main included... alot of peoples mains missed out on that chance... and regarding the "prestige" of survivor.... its not all that hard... make a character -> Rush it to Eotn -> Buy 300k worth of kath hammers.... done...

Shayne Hawke · Mar 03, 2011, 01:24 PM // 13:24

I don't think I have to be shy about saying that survivor is getting changed. The cat was essentially let out of the bag back when the dervish update was put out and the /deaths command was shown to be changed. Because of this, I'm putting this thread to rest, and if there are any further complaints or requested changes to this title, we will be starting discussion anew, and not with a thread that has stuck around for about four and a half years.

Closed.
