Don't you find it insane?
Getting to lvl 20 in the Pre-searing Ascalon is impossible as you don't gain XP anymore after you reach lvl 16!
How can you do then, beside doing Death Leveling?

Yeah, you have to reach the lvl 20 before goind into post-searing Ascalon. But i wonder how you could do that actually, as you can only farm till lvl 16...

I thought that maybe Bosses would give XP even with a large gap between our levels.

You will earn the title Legendary Defender of Ascalon if you reach Level 20 prior to the destruction of Ascalon. This title apears at level 5 like survivor. This title was added in todays update 10-26-06.

Notes: Currently the only way known of getting from level 16 to level 20 is via a practice called Death Level. Death level involves leveling an opponent monster past or near your current level by allowing it to kill your character over and over. Remember there is no DP in Pre Searing. Once the monster is within a level acceptable you kill it to get experience, preferably a level higher than yours. Whether there is a faster way through these last 4 levels, by some other method is still unkown! omg this is absolute bull...leveling enemies isnt possible anymore :|

i dont believe the death leveling either... there must be some other way! are there not enough quests for you to kill enemies up to lvl 16 and get the rest xp from quests?
Seems difficult but more probable... also maybe gwen comes into it? to give you experience? maybe some mysterious quest...

How can you get Legendary Survivor AND Legendary Defender of Ascalon at the same time if you have to use the "Death Level" trick?

i just added up all the quest rewards (~10,000) and if u add that amount to the xp at lvl 16 it comes no where near lvl 20!
Have they introduces a higher level area or something? I can't believe ANet would base a title on a gimicky thing (almost a glitch!). And it would take months to level up monsters enough...
Tom

oh, and another thing - do you get xp in the pvp pre-sear (ascalon academy), if you are against someone your level?
Thanks.

Great, another title that none of my characters can get unless I delete them and start all over again, losing all my current titles in the process. It's like Survivor all over again.

There were so many good suggestions for titles Anet, and you give us this.

I like the idea, provided it's possible to get.

Gives people another reason to stick around Pre. (As if we needed any more. )

Gripe gripe gripe. This is obviously a nod to those crazies dedicated and innovative enough to get lvl20's in pre sear. There are those that LOVE pre THAT much. They even gave us back death leveling so that people can do it again (although I keep hoping to spot a lvl15 boss hiding somewhere).

It's a silly, crazy, stupid title.. and I love it! It that's not your thing, you should have plenty of other things to keep you occupied for awhile!

Off topic: anyone notice that the charr are a real pain in the arse after the update?

I'm not sure if level 20 is possible in pre, but you can gain levels after 16. It's called not doing any quests. If you know how to kill char, get to 16 that way and then go back and do the quests.

The highest i've ever gotten in pre is 17, so I don't know.

Like the Talk article says...it looks REAL dodgy because its "legendary" at lvl (1)...

Also its confirmed in the same talk article that the track does NOT show up at lvl5 when the survivor track does. Well, a screenshot was asked, but I linked to the talk page instead of linking directly to the picture, and for a reason. I don't believe in this title either.

Death Levelling is impossible, as Anet made it so monsters don't gain exp from your deaths any more. This isn't real.

God Anti------ had level 20 in pre about 6 months ago

The name is shown in the chat log of the screenshot posted on the talk. Very easy to confirm or debunk this. Add God Antipowers to firends, ask very nicely to meet up with the person someplace and take a screenshot.

the only way i kno of is get your quests for 2nd prof and skills
farm every enemy(including charr bosses) till ur max lv possible
then do rest of quests that should get u to atleast lv18 im sure lv20 will be possible that way

No.. you'll get to lvl 16 by just killing them, and every quest will get you a little short of lvl 17. After all the work they do in preventing folks to reach lvl 20 in pre searing.. I find it hard to believe they now added a title

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but every title will be listed correct? If you have a character in Prophecies only, you won't see Canthan map completion title right? If you are in Post War, you will see a Tyrian Map completion bar in the title section, right?

If this is true, then Defender of Ascolon title does not exist.

I created a Mesmer in Tyria on Saturday, and the only titles I see are Lucky and Unlucky titles. No Tyrian Maping title, no Survival title, no Defender of Ascolon title, or any other title at all.

So I'm not sure, but either Maping and Survival doesn't exist in Pre-Seering (so it doesn't matter), or Defender of Ascolon is a hidden title like Survivor or Maping of Tyria.

Any thoughts?

This title must have been a fake. No word on it anywhere.

And if you look here
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Title
Its not listed anymore as one of the titles.

I suspect that DoA, like the survivor title, does not show up until you each a certain level - 5 or maybe 10. For those who can't stand to have an incomplete title bar: duck out of Ascalon quickly (and die before lvl5 while you're at it! ).

The title is real, I confirmed it with my perma on Friday. There were a couple people leveling up moss spiders at GWO Friday too. With the new AI, I wonder if you can drag Charr groups back to the rez shrine again.

The title is real and death leveling is back.

I just leveled a strider to lvl 3 by letting it kill me.



Edit: Note the title did not show up on my pre-existing (pun intended) lvl 14 char until after I killed something.

How much time do you think it gonna take to be lvl 20 by death leveling ?
It will take a big month^^. Or I think there is a way. just make the charr come to the sanctuary and when you are sleeping (hehe) let them kill you. When you will wake up they will be lvl 20. A copple of night and you will earn the title. If anyone can try this and tell me about ? Just try to aggro the charr to the sanctuary.
