I spent 4 days preciously managing everything with my ritualist, and once I walked outside the market place at lvl 18 I see my health drop to 19, so i quickly closed guild wars. only to boot it back up and see that I been RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed out of my suvivor title. it seriously needs to be what it says "Gained X amount of experiance without dieing" Not what it does "Gain X amount of experiance without having 1 death from the time of character creation." I was 15,000 experiance points away from "survivor" now I either have to regret it and say forget about it, or go back and do all that stupid grind again.

I'm confused. What exactly happened that is wrong with it? It looks to me like you're saying you died before earning the title, so you didn't earn the title.

Evilsod · May 02, 2006, 08:05 PM // 20:05

Thats what it does, get it over it. Its the exact same as Hardcore mode on Diablo, except without the 'you may never play this char again' penalty. Most of us will never have a shot at this title as we can't get it with current characters.

cries a river

in any case, would be neat to see survivortitle get reinitiated after every death if you haven't gotten the title yet.

so you're saying that you tried for the survivor title and failed so now you want them to move the goalpost for you so you can still achieve it. wouldnt that just devalue the title?

I got 250k exp without getting killed on my war so far. I want my survivor title -_-

Either do that or remove it completely. Otherwise you'll get people survivorquitting all the time.

No man is a robot, so don't treat us like one, everyone can make a mistake, say you spend many hours at you character and suddenly through a minor human error you die. Oh I can already see the suïcide rate rising, due the geeks who want these titles so bad.

MasterThrawn · May 03, 2006, 02:58 PM // 14:58

The funniest thing I've seen happen with these titles is we had a Monk that refused to kill herself even though she went in a different portal than the rest of us (the Celestial mission - we all decided to die and start over), and the /resign thing wasn't working. So we all had to leave our party and map back to town. Of course most of the group just left than.... it was the monks fault in the first place...lol. Is there a "Moron" title?

It'd be nearly impossible for Tyria chars to get this title if nothing is done about it since almost everybody dies atleast once at the academy.

Where does it say this title was meant to be easy?

Dougal Kronik · May 03, 2006, 03:39 PM // 15:39

You didn't earn the title - you don't get the title. If you wanted it so bad, you should stay where you are safe.

I know I'll never get it for my primary character - oh well! He died, and now doesn't deserve it!

How about they just give the title to everyone when the character is created, or for any existing character. Seems fair. No more crying over it!

And lower Drunken Master to 10 minutes.
Tyrian Protector to only missions - not bonuses.
Wisdom Seeker to 10 items (Gold/Purple/Blue).
Treasure Hunter to 10 chests.
Skill Hunter to only the Elites for your primary profession.

That sounds about right for all the whiners that can't earn their titles.

Your thread is full of vague notions about how you'd "earn" this title; even though you're unwilling to give up your xp, skills, weapons, and armor despite the fact that the very notion of a "Survivor" would be to play through the game starting with nothing and surviving. Not to mention the fact that if we were to apply your theory as to why you "deserve the right to earn the title," to other titles, it would make absolutely no sense.

Can't earn the title? Tough cookies.

I just don't like that the "Survivor" title sounds like it punishes people for dying.

And I'd like to be able to try to earn it with some of my first characters, the ones who constantly get wailed on in PvP; is that possible? Or did you (the game designers) want to keep the Role Players out of PvP as much as possible, since you want PvE and PvP as separate as they can be, and you can only really earn "Survivor" if your character never participates in PvP. Ever.

I support making Survivor "Earn X experience without dying.... again".

Added to that is the fact that often enough, it's not always your fault you died, and you have a recipie for "I never want to play with anyone else, I only want to do things by myself".
