Screens? If this is true, it's the lamest thing they could possibly do.

How the hell would that work?

Probably earn X amount of exp without dying. And the counter resets every time you die.

I don't know for sure, that's my thought on it

Sounds kinda silly to me.
If that's the case... and they just lazily implement survivor to anyone with that exp from Tyria... Well, my whole account will be survivor'd!

My ranger would be the only one with survivor if they just took total exp. And every farmer would have it too. That would cheapen it a bit in my opinion, but I'm not making a giant scene about it.

That's pretty much how I thought of the Survivor title in the first place.

That said, I wonder how it will work? Will you be safe to die after you get a certain rank so you can "take a break", meaning will you still be R1 even if you die, and still be able to go for R2?

Even if it does cheapen the title, there've been a crap load of people who lost this title due to retardly dumb reasons (Vizunah Square being a primary concern).

Let's not forget that Gaile is wrong, a LOT.

I killed off all my new chars on purpose. My reason was that everyone (read: a lot of people) lamed their survivor anyway either by leeching from PuGs or having friends kill stuff for them.

My main chars could never get survivor anyway since they were born in Tyria before the title came out.


If this is true then more people might lame but they'll at least be able to go out in fully decked out chars with uber defense and healing.. and then alt-F4 when their party died because they didn't deal any damage =D

All Gaile talked about in Gunnars is the usual we are looking into these pointless pve things that make the pve'ers happy but we will continue to neglect pvp even more....

*cry*
Not really pointless as it makes half of the player base happy.
Not arguing the point of neglect to pvp though.

Someone asked about hair stylists.
Gaile proceeded to throw her computer out of the window and launch a nuclear bomb at the moon.

She claimed insanity based on the fact that retarded little kids keep asking the same damn questions.

So I would imagine, given her job, that this is probably the 5th computer thrown out this week. Whew, gotta be rough for her.

survivor title is a complete joke anyways. this thread made it possible for masses of people to farm it with little to no risk in a few hours.

as for anet giving characters that never even had an opportunity for survivor a shot at it, why not. its not like the title can get further "cheapened" or even less "prestigious" then it is now.

I'm laughing so hard right now.

I wish I could see some people's faces if this turns out to be true... I'd pay all my GW money just to see them. xD

They roll back the times you have died. Been playing my necro for over a year, and well considering I have played as and died more then my ranger(who is at 800 some) I checked a couple days ago, it was at 456 or something, so yeah, rolling back death counter.

If the news about the Survivor title are true, they better make it mutually exclusive with LDoA, else there will be a title (though there's one already) when this is obviously aimed to fix it.

Maybe they'll let you buy down your death count at 100GP per death. It would make a good money sink to say the least.

Wouldn't help out old characters from before Factions much at all...

It'd cost practically all my gold to get my Warrior back down to zero.

Does anyone have confirmation? Or a screenshot? Something?!

All it really means is one more maxable title that can bring you one step closer to that Rainbow Phoenix (or whatever else you're looking for, "God Walking Among Mere Mortals" maybe?) since whatever prestige is left of that title will be lost.

That's a cool idea. I'd like to SELL monetized death credits for gold to players going for the survivor title, or to a merchant. You know, like carbon credits.

While I welcome the opportunity, I'm a little worried about how I'm going to get it - with all elites captured and all non-repeatable quests completed, its going to take a heck of a lot of farming to get this one done.
