There is no funny way to lose Survivor. Except perhaps unless you somehow manage to lose it in the first few minutes of creation.

Pwnd by Freezie doing the Elonian Wintersday quests. I figured it was a low level foe, pretty easy, so wasn't really paying attention to the situation as I should have been. Turns out Freezie is in fact a formidable foe...

The monsters 3...2...1 spiked me! I hate Roaring Ethers!
Then one of my heroes or hench being smartarses by casting through Mistrust, then I died...

THATS why I always take a hench monk and a hero monk...

It definitely wasn't funny but I lost a Prophecies Elementalist survivor doing Warband of Brothers. Half-way to level 2 on the Survivor track, I decided to do this quest because I had done it many times with several other characters and none had ever died. Unfortunately, the Effigy targeted the Elementalist and ignored the rest of the party. All I remember is that Mhenlo was dancing and Tahlkora was yammering about a party. Over in a second.

Today, A person messaged me in game about a bid I posted for a weapon I was going to buy... His intentions were good, he wanted to sell me the same item for about 5k less. Unfortunately I was playing in Hardmode with my Derv (800+ XP) And It distracted me just enough at a pivital point where I died...

My heart sunk and my stomach felt empty... I guess another contributing factor was that I was being greedy and playing in hardmode. If I had been playing in Normal mode I would have lived no doubt! So word to the wise! Don't be greedy while going for this title!!

Also For all under-bidders out there, Please to not message players in game unless given permission... You can send messages through Guru too.

Tried to do solo HM farming on the undeads outside Bergen Hot Springs and failed at it ^^
At least I was only at 170k exp.

Took me over a year before I dared to try again, and now I have a sin with LS 3. He is on 1,45 mil exp, and havn't died yet

I haven't lost mine yet on my Ranger but almost lost it from a Wind Rider though it was actually more scary than funny.

I hate those things.


However I did sacrifice myself to death when trying on my Rit through the use of Spirit Light...forgot my spirit was dead and didn't test out how much health I would sacrifice without a spirit to avoid using it when at that amount.

I actually didn't lose the title myself. I had the first rank and all, but it wasn't me who got myself killed. My boyfriend signed on my account and decided to help me with my title. XD I think he lagged and died.

He says it wasn't him but I have my doubts~

Why do people do that...I don't understand. Happened to me with an ele survivor i was having run through the desert, etc. Some moron thought it would be fun to try and fight while the runner was doing its thing and the dude aggroed a bunch of scarabs and ran right back to our group -- all the while with me saying "go the other way" and frantically scribbling on the mini-map..oh well, didn't like playing ele anyway

Had my mesmer to rank 1 survivor, went out to solo minos outside ice tooth cave with a degen build. The build was fine and works great...but i aggroed too many. I promptly hit the little X in the upper right of the game. Turns out, you are still in game for a period of time after hitting the X button.

Logged back on...

You have died 1 times.

All I could do was laugh about it and it was actually kind of liberating
Not sure why you would ever take a char going for survivor into that area.. Seriously it's probably the hardest non-elite area.

Losing survivor didn't seem funny to me.

I was going for survivor on my Ritualist and a little over halfway to r2. X button didn't work for me either when I was about to accept a quest near War Camp, a patrol got me. I was sad to say the least. Didn't try for survivor for months. Later I created a NF ranger, 7-8 months old and she finally got Legendary a week or so ago.

i always like how people are so hard core about survivor title, i just find you tend to lose it in the oddest of ways, and some are extreamly silly. Like using BoTM too many times

This exact thing just happened to me a few minutes ago. If this is a bug, I wish I had taken a screenshot as proof. Oh well. I wonder if I had simply closed the game when I noticed the wild minion if I would have gotten the quest and kept my title progress intact?

I lost survivor on my assassin in....fronis irontoe's dungeon.

I was farming it at 4am. I got knocked out, and instead of pressing 8, I just sat there staring at the screen. By the time I noticed I totally forgot to press 8, it was too late.

I was using a character from my second account to run myself to the desert outposts. A patrol of spidery things passed by the exit of the town I left and killed my survivor char.

I once fell asleep while boxing and the res countdown just went...down. I woke up when it had like 2 seconds left. And yes, I was boxing for R2 survivor, I'm not good enough in this game.

How the hell do you die in Tihark? I brought my melee ranger in there with little to no self-healing and did just fine. In hard mode.

I learned the hard way that i should not play my survivor while drunk.. I got home last night after goign out with friends and decided to play Pogahn Passage (with my friends on his survivor) and at the end.. i decided to make a dash for the boat..

Well normally you could do that.. but not when the boss is still alive.. and i died..

So i stripped her and deleted her.. and now i will remake her..

I lost mine doing up another Monk and was in the Noloni Academy mission in the bonus part when Orion and Alesia both went down and Stefan went behind me some how.I had all those undead ghost coming at me with final thrust.I though i could escape it as I pressed my G button and went to my Guild Hall when I got there I just realized I lost it.It happened at lvl 15 with 83,000 XP.
This is my 4th Monk btw and I was really hoping for Survivor but I don't have the patients to redo it over again so now she is a farmer.

I would of done the Suvivior title this way not on XP but lvls.I would do tier 1 at lvl 10,tier 2 at lvl 15 and Legendary at lvl 20.I would of atleast had tier 2 and could live with that.

This wasn't funny at the time but now that I look back on it I laugh occasionaly. so I started my first elementalist, I was doing fine and it was the double experience for completing missions/bonuses weekend so instead of farming and capping elites I moved onto doing missions so I gained more than a fair bit and at the end of the day I'm at the last mission I needed for the experience left needed for LS I forgot it's name but I was just about to finish the bonus and so I ran for the bonus and as I got to it my H/H were a little behind and some ghost things popped out and owned me, I didn't stand a chance all of them attacked me at once and even though my heroes attempted to heal I was pretty much already dead. At the time It wasn't funny it annoyed me so much that much I quit Guild Wars for a few months but I soon got over it. :P

Whut?

Levels = xp

Tier 1 = L20

You lost me there.

[Edit]Oh, I just realised what you were trying to say. You wish that Survivor was done that way. Legendary at L20? I think not!

Survivor attempts are ruined in 2 main ways: Impatience and inattention. Be in too much of a hurry to get there and you will fail.

The other way is pure, dumb, bad luck. There's nothing you can do about that one

What I am saying is is at lvl 10 you get suvivior 1,lvl15 survivior 2 and at lvl 20 LS.

Yes, I did realise in the end. That would make the title far too easy, though. Admittedly, the hard part is from L1 to L10. Once you're there, it's just repetition all the way. Your only enemy is boredom.

Just wait of the queue of people saying the title is far too easy as it is
