Keep in mind that with a rank 3 survivor, you have over a million exp on your character. Not only does it show that you got survivor, it also is an indicator that you've played that character a LOT, and are probablly pretty good with that class.

Ie, my ele has 3.5 million exp. My ranger has 120k. Am I a good ele? Hell yeah. Am I a good ranger? Hell no.
If my survivor title is on my ranger, which I earned on my ele (theoretically, I don't actually have the title, my ele was made pre-Factions) I would be seen as a better ranger then I am.

Instead of making survivor an account based title, create a new account based title that you can max by getting one LS of every class?

Your character that has died should not be allowed to show a survivor title since he's not a survivor. Even if he gains millions of xp later on without dying, because he died.

Likewise, a character that gains Legendary Survivor but dies later should lose the title, because he's not a survivor either.

See what I'm getting at? Survivor should be based on how much xp you can gain at a stretch without dying, otherwise logically all survivors should completely lose their title if they ever die even after achieving it.

I have 14 PvE characters and 1x PvP character, 3 of which are Legendary Survivors, one has about 300k xp to go at being my 4th. The remaining characters are not survivors and have died quite a few times (especially the PvP). Sooooo, they deserve Legendary Survivor how?

My first 2 Legendary Survivors (Warrior & Assassin) took about a week, thanks to elite capping like a madman. The third (Paragon) took a bit longer because I used HM Wurm farming to get the xp instead of skill caps (not gonna spend 150k on skills I have already capped =oP). My 4th in the works atm is another Assassin (male this time), and have done pure killing & questing and only capping assassin elites, no others, and I am 300k short of target.

Basically, with the generous Factions and Nightfall quest XP rewards, Hard Mode Wurm Farms and easy-as-pie Faction Farming repeatables, not getting Legendary Survivor is now a case of lack of skill/tact more than ever (for those that are trying for it, I understand some don't care about the title). Take offense if you wish, but seriously, I am not an awesome player, so it is more than possible. Yes, I know this game has existed longer than the title, but I also bought a nice pair of jeans for $25 only to see them for $15 two days later. Point being, shit happens, grin and bare it, I rerolled my main (Assassin) after 6 months so she could have the title, and I'm glad I did, I didn't piss and moan on a forum, I JUST DID IT! One month later I got her to KoaBD, so what did I lose? Not much...

PS: No, WAMMO CHAAAAARGE! is not a good method for surviving...

All titles should be account based. They were achieved by the player, not by the character.

I would agree with making it possible after death, but NEVER account wide. It's not the same getting survivor with an assassins than with a monk.

Romor from Gails ingame chat last night is that they are working on making Survivor possible after death. No details yet but people were assuming that means the exp "counter" would reset each time you died. So you dont have to get over 1mil exp without EVER dieing, just 1mil exp BETWEEN deaths.

Only a romor at this point though.

EDIT: Reading FTW!! I failed to read the related thread in Riverside before posting this. This romor has been denied by Gail. So you can go about ingnoring my BS.
