Guild Wars 2

I have been leveling my guardian and noticed that the Lifetime Survivor title wasn’t increasing. I’m now level 52 with 0 deaths (/deaths command to confirm). Will I magically get the title when I hit level 80 or is it bugged?

It’s bugged, at least for some people, including me.

I am fairly sure it’s working as intended. It is rather easy to force quit the game when you are about to die etc to avoid /deaths increasing. My understanding, I may be wrong, was that you had to do it in one zone rather later in the game.

Was bugged for me as well as far back as when it was part of a monthly achievement. I haven’t bothered with it since.

I would prefer them to just remove the title, honestly. It encourages people to play the game “against the grain” – avoiding WvW, avoiding large events, avoiding dungeons.

Keep it as a tracked statistic to please those who want to challenge themselves this way, but take away the achievement – it’s play that should be recognised but not encouraged.

Also, yes, I think mine is bugged as well, and has been since the monthly.

I get bored with most MMORPG games without a challenge. Guild Wars 2 with its Survivor achievement is definitely one of the main aspects that encourages me to play the game. So I hope the Guild Wars 2 producers fix this bug soon.

Gonna bring this up, me and a guildmate are having this issue now. Earlier today it was going up fine, now I’m just 75 thousand away from finishing this. I started doing exploration and hearts as they give me thousands of xp at level 80, and I was thinking “Man, this is taking a while isn’t it?”. So I went and killed something and compared the progress before and after, and it isn’t increasing at all.

After it being bugged for me since pre-launch I finally got it yesterday after their new update. I’m sure some people are still having a problem getting it though because some people have had it since pre-launch.

I’m going to guess that it behaves like the monthly survivor and you can’t log out, change zones, etc for the achievement since I got disconnected and my progess was reset on the achievement.

I guess I had an opposite issue….I noted some progress on my survivor achievement an hour or so ago, as I had just hit 200,000 (it popped up on the screen and notified me). I’ve never put any effort into this title, so I was a bit pleased.

Then just a minute ago, I finished the title by hitting 500,000 (2nd of 2 tiers). Keep in mind, those two notifications only occurred about an hour apart (probably less), and I’m a lvl 80 character who was going back and mapping Metrica Province at the time. I find it HIGHLY unlikely that I earned 300,000 XP in a starter zone within an hour or less, even with rewards scaling up slightly for me being much higher level. I’m grateful for the achievement being complete, but I’m also left feeling like I didn’t really earn it.

It is bugged for me too. I got around 410,000/500,000XP, then logged out and when I came back on it did not progress.

So is logging out considered dying?

I don’t mind starting again but I hope this bug is fixed for those who get frustrated with it.

It looks like it’s bugged, but it’s not.

It seems that you have to reap the 500K XP in a single map, without logging off or dying. I noticed that it was increasing during the last Lost Shores event (got up to 440K and then I died in an event). Afterwards, I was able to achieve the full title on my lvl 80 guardian when leveling armorsmithing from 225 to 400!
