Changes: Survivor

Latest revision as of 15:20, 31 March 2011

This article is about the title. For the Survivor Insignia armor upgrade, see Insignia.

Survivor is a title that you can display for prestige. It is awarded per character.

Survivor title track

To gain the following titles, one must obtain the experience required without dying, progression can be checked with (check with /deaths). Once the title is earned, it will not be lost upon death. However, your progression towards the next title halts once you die.

Rank	Title	Experience gained without dying	Note
1	Survivor	140,600	level 20
2	Indomitable Survivor	587,500	~ "level" 50
3	Legendary Survivor	1,337,500	~ "level" 100

Mechanics

Progress towards Survivor only resets when the /deaths counter is increased. All normal deaths in both PvE and PvP add to this counter; most forced deaths do not. (However, some scripted deaths during cutscenes have been bugged in the past and have spoiled survivor titles. The Survivor title track begins appearing in the title window (default key: H) at level 5 and disappears forever for characters that die before L20.

Notes

This title is sometimes regarded as the second "Lucky" title, as deaths caused by lag are common, uncontrollable by the player, and halt title progression.
Survivor candidates are not always welcome in PUGs, since players striving for the Survivor title will exit the game whenever they fear their title is at risk, leaving the team short-handed.
For additional information on how to achieve this title and the kinds of "deaths" that won't fail the title, see the Survivor title guide.

Trivia

Because the experience total at the time of the character's first death is permanently displayed on the title, some players intentionally kill the character at a specific point after achieving Legendary Survivor in order to have a "spiffy" or "geeky" number on the title. A couple examples are 1,414,214xp and 1,732,051xp (which are equal to √2·10⁶ and √3·10⁶ respectively, rounded to the nearest integer).

-The Survivor title is achieved at level 20. The higher titles are to be gained between "levels" 49 (100 points below level 50) and 100, however, the Legendary survivor title is skewed a bit to reflect the 1337-ness of whomever obtains it.
-The Survivor title track will show up at level 5 if the character has zero deaths.If the character dies before achieving the first title, the title track disappears.
-This title is sometimes regarded as the second "[[Lucky]]" title, as deaths by [[lag]] are a common halt towards title progression; often entirely out of the player's hands. In addition, the Survivor titles may have a negative connotation when forming parties, as some players striving for the Survivor title will zone out whenever the team is in danger, leaving the team to avoid dying.
-Should the player fail to get survivor on a character, that character can never progress any further in the title, and the player must start over with a new character.
-*PvP deaths (arena, alliance battles, etc...) count against this title.
-*The mechanics of [[forced death]]s (/resign, cutscenes, etc.) have been known to change with game updates.  The best advice is simply to avoid any kind of "death."
-*Deaths caused by the rolling boulders in Eye of the North are not included in your death count.
-*Deaths caused by walking into the [[Sulfurous Haze]] in The [[Sulfurous Wastes]], [[Joko's Domain]], [[The Alkali Pan]] and [[The Shattered Ravines]] do not affect the survivor title.
-*Deaths caused by the crusher traps in [[Fahranur, The First City]] or [[Jokanur Diggings (mission)]] do not affect the survivor title.

-*Being "knocked out" while using [[Dwarven Boxing]] skills (particularly [[Kilroy Stonekin's Punch-Out Extravaganza!]] will not count against the title, but if you fail to spam the skill [[STAND UP!]], the death ''will'' count against the title.
