So, what do you people do after achieving Legendary Survivor title? Are you so relieved to have made it that, to disipate the stress of having played so carefully for so long, you go out and kamakazi yourself to the nearest mob? Or do you continue playing carefully to see how much more XP you can get without dying?
I, myself, have taken this second course. After spending weeks and weeks and weeks doing the repeatable at Lutgardis - 2, 3, 4 runs a day - I went ahead and finished the game (solo'ing all but the final mission), went back and finished some quests I'd skipped over, like Charting the Forest/Sea, redid some missions I'd only gotten Expert on to get Masters, etc. I'm now at 1.5 million and thinking of trying for 2 million. No real hurry though as I have 2 other chars at Lutgardis now working on the title.
So, just curious to see what other people do.
After achieving Legendary Survivor

I was just too relieved that my paragon made it to Legendary so I took ur first choice. I am in the process of finishing up Protector of Elona and Cantha and starting on Tyria. Then I'll go for the skill-capping titles and then the cartographer titles. Then if I'm rich, maybe Obs armor or drunkard/Sugar tooth. I'm also r7 Kurzick so I'll try to max that out.

Meh, "survivors", they're all the same.
You can't see me
After I got the title, I had a guild mate kill my character in a guild scrimmage.
Then I looked on the GWG forums and groaned about all the QQ threads on "Survivor"

I did pretty much nothing with my survivor, just some regular pve once a while to test a build.
It's just another character with an easy title.

Another non-impressive title which people waste their time getting.

i move on with the storyline and dont have to worry about dieing

It never fails to amaze me that some people seem to live solely for the purpose of pissing on everything they come in contact with.

After reaching L3 on my ele (Which i did by capping, not lame fff) I played how I used to play. Died 100K exp later by some random mob. Who cares go the title anyways 
. I need the caps anyways for Legendary Skillhunter.
My paragon has L3 too by questing, capping and Splinter weapon Turai's Procession farm. She's still at 0.

Wrong, Actually. A lot of people I know got their title (myself included) by going elite crazy. I even documented my journey doing this with screenshots. Jealousy Is an ugly thing indeed.
Back on topic, After I got legendary survivor I went out and got all the rest of the elites I was missing to get legendary skill hunter.
Seemed to only make sense really, as I had captured pretty much two thirds of of them getting XP for the title ^_^
I didn't waste much time after I got the title to kill myself though, after a few more elites at 1,365,711 it just had to be done.

I'll give a huge thumbs up to anyone who achieves the title. I confess I have not gone for it yet and frankly, when I think about certain missions and quests, I think it's pretty remarkable when a player gets there. I used to play a lot of Diablo II in Hardcore, and I remember that sick feeling when my character finally died. When you looked at your corpse and realized, "Welp, it's start-over time" it takes a bit of mental adjustment. 
Congrats to all who have made this achievement. Are any of you doing it through missions and quests with only Hero and Henchies? Is that even possible??

Unfortunately there are much easier ways than hero/hench or even pugging. Since there is an easy method to not die (and not screw with other players), I would probably go as far as I could without making a silly mistake.

After I got it, I placed all my junk from storage in it's inventory.

I got my legendary survivor just 10 minutes ago
I'm over the moon about it it
As for what i'm going to do next, i'll just play normally and without a care in the world about dying or getting lag.
Hoorah!!

The hardest part of the whole title was getting through Vizunah Square withing running into the survivor bug.

As for the post after I get Legendary Survivor, I take a deep breath and continue playing normally.
I got my Dervish some nice new Monument Armor today, I figured he earned it.
1,600,000 exp without dieing...yet...
cosyfiep
when I finally get one to that point I will then breathe a sigh of relief, stop showing the title and let that character play the way all the others ones do---kill or be killed....leeeeeeroooooooyyyyyyy!

Just got legendary survivor. Im now in doubt about what to do...run into the nearest mob or try and play along without dieing.

When I got it on my assassin(already a while ago:P) I capped exactly 100 elites and then I got called to the guild hall, after I arrived at 1.337.777 xp, where I was killed by all the assassins in the alliance(only 4 at the time...:P) and I also was given 2 new pair of daggers, which I inm. customized.
ah... Legendary Survivor was special back then, before HFFF and HM

I paid for a runner to do The Ruins of Morah, and I had a friend help me with Arborstone. All other missions/quests were done with hero+hench. I didn't skill cap until I got to level 1 of the title, and capped all Paragon and Warrior elites, nothing else. I am Luxon, so didn't do the FFF farm at Lutgardis, and don't care enough about my Faction title to worry about it anyway. I maxed the title before completing Gate of Pain, but had gotten Protector of Tyria and Protector of Cantha by then.
I found the high armor, and high health (used Survivor insignias and Superior Vigor, with only minor runes) made me get attacked very rarely. In fact, before I hit rank 2, I realized I never used my self heal, and so I dropped it for more damage lol. Didn't use consumables either, as the only ones available at the point I got the title were the ones from special events (St. Pattys Day, Easter, etc.).

I hated my para after i reached legendary survivor, neglected it a week or so. Didn't go out to kill it and just played it normally.
Lag spiked helping a guildie in Gate of Madness and shiro didnt take a liking to me. Made me laugh that i lag spiked and died after reaching the title, not before.
Same cannot be said for my Ritualist...

If I actually had the patience for this, the first thing I would do is 1v1 the Base Defender in AB. I am quite sure he would quiver in fear at my title, and run in fear.

I have two legendary survivors already - Ranger and Mesmer. I thought about making Assassin legendary survivor just because PUGs think Assassins are always the most likely to die in battle, but then realized Assassins are useless for PvE.

OP: What have I done since getting LS? Nothing different. I still play the game with the intenion of not dying and haven't. Someone mentioned DII...LOL, my main was a "survivor" in that game as well. It's just the way I play.
MisterMax
Well my Ritualist got to Legendary Survivor by dwarven boxing. I personally don't care for the title, but did it just to fill up the HoM. But I did get Protector of Cantha afterwards (Solo, but with the help of my good friends Olias, Vekk, and Ogden) without dying. Shes at 1.5 mil right now and I started on Prot of Elona (5 done on masters) and Prot of Tyria (13 done).
Marverick
I just stopped playing carefully, didn't exactly try to kamikaze but I didn't mind walking up to Shiro or running a Shiverpeak Tour. I hit around 1.5 million before some noob called Maw the Mountain Heart decided to pop up on one of my runs.

We're having a meeting about the official website this week. One of the things I've been wanting us to do for a long time is offer an interesting fact or a bit of trivia on the website that is based on the game, player accomplishments and preferences, and so forth.
Some examples might be:
What are your thoughts about the idea?
Some examples might be:
- This is the most popular warrior face [image]
- XXX number of people have better than 50% predictions in the XTH
- The winningest guild [this period of time] is [guild name]
- The player with the highest number of points on his Survivor character is [player name]
What are your thoughts about the idea?

I kill myself before level 5, then complain loudly in alliance chat that I just lost my survivor title.

I actually got mine yesterday after spending months at it actually doing missions and quests, with a bit of solofarming in istan to round it off.
Stripped off all my armor and sacrificed myself to the Nephilia outside Sunspear Great Hall. Figured they'd earned it...

Perhaps my most thrilling moment was solo'ing Unwaking Waters and getting Masters time of 6'28". People complain about hench AI but those guys rock.

My paragon made it to LS just by playing normally, H+Hing all the three campaigns concurrently. After that she has been to places that are not so survivor friendly like DoA and she's still sporting zero deaths without any conscious effort. I guess that the deliberate playing style got ingrained along the way
My LS sin was gnawed to death by a lv1 mantid outside Shing Jea Monastery, just for git and shiggles.

But the fun little stats like faces, hairstyles etc would be awesome imo!
Death By Ketchup
My paragon is still R1...but by some chance i do make it to R3 I'm going to find the most epic way to die,like equiping a sword and nothing but my pants and perhaps a dragon mask and charging into a group of those endgame nf monsters, after making sure to aggro more groups, while using the shout "theres nothing to fear!"
(I dont plan on fff or farming to get higher in it, to lazy for the effort.)
