Question about Survivor & failing Fissure of Woe

Simple question, if you fail the Fissure of Woe due to, say, an NPC dying will the death count toward Survivor title?

I know the whole team dies and you get the "Your party has failed" message just like when you resign, and i know resigns do not count, but i just want to be 100% sure. Please someone who can CONFIRM this answer! Thanks a bunch.

no you will not get +1 to title. Its like togo dying in zen daijun

No, NPC deaths do not cause your death. Nor does 'instant' death from things like crushers in Sorrows Furnace or the giant snowballs/fire balls in GW:EN. FoW is a rather poor place to take a character working on the Survivor title though. XP from the quests is very good, but the difficulty is much higher, and chances of death are high.

Thankfully, neither does resigning.

I nearly had a heart attack when I "died" from resigning.

Actually FoW is a pretty good place to take a survivor. With a decent guild group (no pugs) you can roll FoW pretty easily.

3-4 full FoW clearances = Survivor 1

Fun place, and some easy cash to be had (shards etc)

Skill Cap Flagging FTW.

If you have a group of experienced players (guild, friends), then FoW makes one of best places for survivor. It only takes 10 runs or so max the title, much less if you use scrolls. And on top of that, you get massive loot.
