Guild Wars 2

No, I didn’t die. I teleported from where I completed the Straits of Devastation map to the Rally Waypoint, and then to the Crossing Waypoint in Queensdale. I’d intended to get my last 3.5k xp from an easy heart there. However, none of the experience I gained there gave me visible credit towards completion. Upon porting back to the Straits, I confirmed that my Survivor achievement track had reset.

There were two explanations suggested to me for this, both of which are (in my opinion) absolute bullkitten.

1. I was hit by a cannon during my port to Rally Point. There is a cannon which burns you where I was prior to this. I was on an outcropping where no mobs could reach me (because you had to do some jumping to get there) when I ported, so this could have happened. Apparently this counts as a death?

2. It uses the same mechanic or similar mechanic as weapon sigils, which are reset every time you switch zones.

Regardless, I found other posts stating that logging out and changing zones reset it in addition to simply dying. (example: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/58613-experience-survivor-achievement-bug/)

I was hoping that there may be some way to restore my progress up to the point where it reset. It should be somewhat straightforward to check the logs for my character (Legault De Kol of Gate of Madness) and see whether I died. Legault is getting parked in Lion’s Arch until I get a response on this to prevent any accidental deaths.

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Unfortunately, this is a known issue. It has hit all of us repeatedly. There’s a dev post somewhere about it.

You have to get all the XP without using a TP in one zone.

Whelp, that sucks.

That’s putting it mildly, yeah.

As far as I was aware it reset upon changing zones. however its actually easy to get this achievement through crafting.

I’m doing it for fun, rather than simply to have it, so I’m pretty intent on doing it the ‘right’ way. I am, however, upset that my progress was reset for something that wasn’t even implied to reset it by the game.
