Guild Wars 2

Everytime I log off, it is like to die… so i cannot complete the experience survivor for this month… only me?
I hope it is a bug, because i cannot play enough hours to collect enough experience in just one session…

For the experience survivor you can not log off, change zones, enter the mists or wvwvw, enter personal story, and change charaters. Sometimes traveling to distant waypoint in the same map also stop progression. Its a known issue according to the guild wars 2 wiki but since it doesn’t block the progress for completing the montly achievement it may not be fixed anytime soon as bugs blocking progress will take priority.

For lower level characters you can get around this bug by crafting and for higher level characters doing dynamic events in 70-80 regions you can complete it in an hour or 2.

This bugs is really bad and it should be a fixing priority as it shouldn’t take too much time. The game maintains your nourishments timers even if you log out and in, so keeping the experience count shouldn’t be hard.

Yesterday I was going to get it, and at 94,3K exp the servers went down and I couldn’t finish it U.U

They really need to fix it. I’d go so far as to call it un-fun. I knew this bug existed but I figured weeks later it would have been fixed by now. I got 96,000/100,000 for the last tier of the monthly experience and the trading post bugged out so I logged out and back in which got the trading post working. Pity it erased all of the progress I made for it, and the kicker is I was at 75,000 in a previous zone before I went to craft, thinking I’d finish it off with crafting. I proceeded to progress with my character in another zone and got a good 150,000+ experience and then a game bug froze me at a black screen and then disconnected me. There goes all that progress once again. Naturally I had used 75%+ of my funds to purchase the tradeskill materials I needed to finish off the leather working tier I was working on, so just crafting more is not an option considering it resets when you zone.

They should just wipe this one from the September achievements because it is so incredibly broken. Sure you can work around it but it’s nothing but a chore as is. You can’t see how close you even are to completing it and it just outright encourages grinding as safely as possible in a single zone in one sitting. That’s just plain broken and I hope they fix it soon. There are so many things I’ve wanted to try that I avoided trying to get this silly thing done, only to find it was outright erasing all of my progress any time I took a break or zoned. Bleh!

Just want to agree that this is way too much trouble, I gave up long ago. Even without the bug, I don’t want to play the game for survivor, it’s not fair to the other players to pull my weight just so I can cautiously lurk in the background. I’ve already met players who refused to help me because they were trying to get this. What if instead of having a survivor requirement to the monthly, there were an ‘assists’ award instead?

Try crafting or completing a level 80 dungeon. After level 250-300 crafting, you can get it by just going through a set of mats pretty quick.

Thanks for all hints!

Personally, I agree that there are bugs more annoying actually, but maybe, just for this month, Anet can reduce or remove this specific achievement temporarily, if it needs to much time to be fixed.
After all, it is just a reward for who is already playing this game, nothing so game-breaking… but I’m happy that they are aware of this problem (I wasn’t sure reading wiki).
I agree also that survivor change your way to play… no risk to help players or fight big avents/boss or jumping puzzle… this is also against co-operation between random players (this was already true in guild wars 1: no pugs during survivor title).
