Weirdest bug destroyed my survivor title.

Ok,so i'm down with remaking chars whenever you incur on a death if you are going for Legendary survivor. it makes sense that such a title requires having the guts to do that. My sin is on his 5th remake, and everything was going fine untill I attempted the boreas seabed mission, with about 280000xp. I played all my cards right not to die, yet suddenly I get around 700 dmg from the spear of archemorus on the battle against argo,and die without a chance of being healed. The spear was at the friggin pedestal ffs! After the cutscene, instead of one spear there are two...

So now I will have to remake my char because of a stupid bug that allowed a stationary spear sitting on a pedestal to cause me 700 dmg? wtf? I seriously want my death removed, I dont care if they have to do a rollback, this is no fair death at all! Death by bug? Anet should seriously look into those bugs, its totally frustrating and wrong.

They're not gonna do a rollback....just for your death.....

I lost survivor r2 by "x"ing out of the game while lagging, i can't blame lag, i kept the character and was proud and satisfied at my tier 1 survivor and got over it like that.*snaps fingers*

Well they better do something, its not fair for me to remake my char because their mission has a stupid bug! Do you have any clue how hard it is to make a survivor sin? How much hard work I put on this char to get him to where he was? I was so frustrated with the game the second this ridiculous and unfair death occurred that i just closed it and stopped playing.

You died because of lag...Its *different*. I died because of an unpredictable bug. Something that should never be in there. I had about 550 health and about 3 enchants on me, i could never die at that point in time regardless of lag. I took 2 350 dmg from the spear on a row, not just one,and after the cutscene there were 2 spears at the pedestal.

I died from unexpected lag :P Plus i never actually died, i x'd out of the game, when i logged back in tada! 1 death, that shouldn't happen if i should be logged out right?Bug(ha died of a bug)

And mine was a survivor sin also, wasn't hard got a guildies help and went through shing jea and lvl'd up the last levels by myself.
If you REALLY want legendary survivor, then remake him, i didn't though.

Just accept the fact they won't do anything about it, no matter what.

It's also not fair when survivors die due to lag on Anet's side but they deal with it. What do you expect Anet to do for you? They're not gonna roll back the entire server just to give you a second chance.

Also, this isn't a bug. It's documented on wiki as normal behavior.

I did not take 300 dmg, I took 2 full waves of 350 in a row, without any time between them. I was nowhere near the center, and I was the only one in my party that died. it *IS* a bug, just like the bug at the Vizunah square mission that later got fixed. Plus ive been playing this game since launch, did boreas seabed countless times and never once got killed by 2 spears sitting at a pedestal when there should be only one.

I die that way too and I think we just touch the spear before we should :P

I play with other char and do that mission again touch the spear before I win the duel and baam I die lol

ps. I didn't do LS that time :P

Well, you had only 280k xp.I had 1,308.684xp died on server lag 3 months ago.

So? There is still bug in Vizunah Square where unbound minions kill you.
There is no point to try take your death back, next time just take runner.

Isn't this documented on wiki?

Anet won't do anything about it just because one person lost their survivor. I lost mine too, 200k away from r3 but it was my own fault for not being observant enough and nattering on GC.

I do feel for you though it is pretty frustrating, in the future if you feel like trying again check wiki before you do a mission or zone somewhere you arn't sure about it made a huge difference for me several times.

I don't care about the title, so I don't attempt it. It's pointless. Titles ruined this game.

"We are unable to reset the death count for a character for any reason. We apologize if this presents an inconvenience. If you have any more questions, please let us know and we will be more than happy to assist you."


Well thats just great, then just give me the 100k+mats used up on his armor, runes,tomes, skills, daggers, runes for heroes, plus the time i had to farm for all that and all the time i spent on the char itself.
I hate you, anet.

GG for having a title that your broken and bug infested game prevents a player to achieve by playing normally, hence favoring "power levelers". Kinda like how you broke the economy for the casual player yet did nothing to stop farming bots.

As long as you didn't customize the daggers you can just keep them in storage while you remake the guy. You can salvage out all the runes from your heroes (and your armor) and keep them in storage while you remake your character.

You also shouldn't buy 15k armor for a survivor until AFTER he gets Legendary. That's the smart thing to do in case something like this does happen, you won't be out 100k.

Man, your life must be so hard. Losing your survivor character is so life-shattering, I don't know how you'll cope.

More fool you; should have waited until getting the title before arrogantly assuming you had a 100% chance of making it and buying all that stuff on him.

You should of purchased the armor, leets items, etc after having accomplished the title. You can't just expect everything to go perfectly...

QFT.

12 Chars.

There is no way in hell you are ever going to get that death taken off.

/sign for close thread before people start posting lolcats.

PS: Can I have your sins stuff if you're gonna delete PLzz! Tier 2 is pretty good, why arent you happy with it?

I didn't realize the spear doing damage was a bug. It has happened many times to me in that mission, and I just know better than to let my survivor get anywhere near it.

That is just complete and utter bullshit.

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Boreas_seabed :
Note: Stay away from the center stand. The Spear of Archemorus will charge up during the fighting, and occasionally "discharge" when full, striking any nearby party members for 300 damage. It does not seem to affect the enemy teams, though.

Sorry, I don't feel bad for you. It's documented on wiki and isn't a "bug", and it's been that way for as long as I can remember. Your bad, not Anets.
