I need a Survivor title. I levelled up without dying and was greatly disturbed to notice there was still no Survivor Title Track on my Titles screen.

What do you have to do to get the Survivor Title Track to show up?

I heard a rumor that you can only get that Title on new characters: is that true? If so that really sucks and definitely needs to be fixed.

How much xp does your character have?

I believe you need ~140K or so xp to get the survivor title.

Level 20 without a death, 146,000 XP.

Also, I believe that if you get 150,000 XP after level 20 you receive the title.

To attain the Survivor title, you are required to have 140,600xp or over. I can confirm this as I have witnessed it myself. I just lost mine :P .

My assassin (yes, the class that's supposed to drop like flies) reached 106,600xp before I croaked on the Second main mission (The one with all the degen). Only exactly 34000xp to go lol. Henchies dropped on me and I got spiked.
As tears subside, I can honestly say the pain is real. Thanks for making me cry Anet .


(It's so annoying to type in /deaths to see "You have died 1 time" _-_)

I was about level 15 in one of the places on the other continent (yeah I should have stayed and leveled up) and I death charged into about 6-7 spike traps, instant death.

My question:

In order to achieve the "survivor" title, your character cannot die, what happens in those bodyguard missions when your "VIP" gets fragged and your party gets wiped?

Does that count as a death?
Hence no longer be able to acquire the survivor title?

Thanks.

Aye, that I know.
My question is, will the "party wipe" caused by the failure of the "bodyguard" missions trigger a death count?
There are many "bodyguard" missions in Cantha...

This one's easy to test: take a character that HAS already died into Thunderhead Keep, or any other "bodyguard" mission, and type /deaths. Record this number. Let King Jalis/whomever die, fail the mission, everyone is dead, return to outpost. Type /deaths, again, and compare. If your death counter increase, then that answers your question.

Hello, I have heard rumours that the Title progress appears only after getting 40-50k without dying or something like that? I have now gotten around 80k without dying and have yet to see the Title Progress, what am I doing wrong?

It seems your character need to have a completely clean /death count for it to be achieved.

it's 140.6k xp. I earned more with an old char and did not get the title, so you must have /deaths = 0.

Does that death at the beginning count as in the training when the trainer tells you about the resurrections shrines, he kills you to show the shrines´ effect

I heard that that one doesn't count to your /death count.

Just type /deaths to see how many times you died.

I tried getting survivor title on my old Tyrian char. After a few 100k I gave up. No sign of a survivor title at all.

No fair.

My son has an old pre-sear monk that I played yesterday and see that toon is on the way to survivor. I'll have to help it along a bit to make sure it survives. Hmmm, the mini PvP leaving pre-sear could be a challenge...

If i will die and close the game fast, this will help avoid the dead?

Um, no, all data is stored on Anet's servers and has nothing to do with your PC or exiting the game.

I have heard that once you get the first level of survivor you have to keep 0 deaths to keep the title. Is this true?

Well, in order to have the title, you have to have 0 deaths. So naturally, I would assume that you would have to stay at 0 to keep the title.

edit - also, if the system were to be: if a character had the survivor title at any point of the game, they would be allowed to keep it.

Then wouldn't everyone have the title?

That's what I thought it was. But apparently it isn't. Also, no. Noone would have the title.

the title i belive is you must have got to level 20 with no deaths, when you hit that you can die as much as you like and keep the title, i think.

That's like saying that in order to keep your drunkard title you would have to stay drunk for the rest of the game.

Once you attain a level you are set with it. If you achieve Survivor then die you don't loose the title, you just can't get the next step of the Survivor series (there is more after just "Survivor")

If my character died already, can he still earn the Survivor titles?

Think about what you just asked for a second. How could you be a survivor if you died?

In order to rekindle my addictiveness to GW, I'm going to shoot for this.

Here's my question: If I were to get this title and just suddenly die for some reason, will I lose the title or still have it?

Quoting Eminem: "You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow,
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo".

Apart from the "blow" part, and the "yo" that should answer your question.

in other words, you have to start new character and make sure that he doesn't die till he reaches lvl 20.

and that he doesn't die after that. my guess is that he'll still have the survivor title he earned before, but won't be able to get the next level of it.

so make sure that your character has a death total of zero
/deaths would help you if the req for the survivor is still being met while you're trying to earn it for it's 1st,2nd, or final rank of the survivor title
