Escape Artist Title

I have run Hall of the Demon Lord many times and never once have I gotten Escape Artist title. Every time I fulfill the requirement. Everyone else in my group has gotten the title except for me. Please help.

You try pressing T, and hitting the check button on the title interface?

Try what Reagent said, and if that doesn't work, try getting your party to slow down a little on alarms.

I've had that same thing happen to guildies, and when it happens, usually what I do is instead of having one OP person do them, I send in someone with a healer and have them go slower. I think it bugs out sometimes if they get done too fast.

I hope that helps.

What we have to do is to stop our geared guildies playing with food around second alarms, they tend to muck around there and we found that it tends to bug the alarm.

So do it efficiently, all people run straight for upper doorway exept for 2 boss killers. The rune person will collect as the killers sprint to their bosses. As soon as runes have been inserted everyone should be in the top doorway ready to run through barrier, hike up to the end of corridor, booom title.

If it keeps repeating the barrier message it's bugged, also you can reset alarms.
Just everyone out of the instance then go back to lashing chamber and person that needs title + 3 people go do alarms, 2 killers one runer. It can be done with 1 but with the 3 is more time efficient :P More can tag along just make sure they hustle to the top in time.

We've found that crossing the corridor line down the end just before your turn right is where it always pops the title.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've tried checking the title too many times. I think the problem here is what suprra said. Doing the instance too fast glitches alarms.

We are also having the same issues trying to get the escape artist title, we have tried everyone running, we have tried just a few people running, we have tried doing it as fast as possible with a few OP guys and we have tried it slowly with a full group. I have timed it every time so i know for sure were making it within the time frame but i cannot seem to get the title. also for some reason the alarms have been resetting their selves, like for example last night after we turned off the second set of alarms we had a guildie want to join us so we invited him and he came in, mid ways through running up the ram to the second boss the alarms turn back on and he died before he could make it to the door. i'm guessing that would be a glitch but i don't know, as for the escape artist title we just can't seem to make it work. and i have used the check option in the title interface which also did not work.

The alarms in DL seem to bug a lot. Usually it's second alarms that do it, too, but I've seen first do it also.

Usually, you know they're going to bug when the "Oh no they actually shut them off!" message keeps repeating and they keep making the alarm noise long after they should have stopped.

If that happens, what I usually do is hurry everyone up and get them past the alarm point, and tell any latecomers to just wait til after we kill second boss- then they can come in and crystal past the alarms safely.

As for getting the title, when all else fails, try dying. You can get the title when you're dead, so try swapping your gear right at the ramp at second alarms. After your party starts running and the alarms go off, aggro one of the big red guys there in that hallway (have them save one for you), and die.

If they can get the alarms completely cleanly (they don't have to be fast, but it helps to be clean, ressing slows things down too much), you should get your title as soon as they turn them off.

If even that doesn't work, I think I would put in a ticket.

i have tried running to the top and using suicide macro before the alarms were shut off but that didn't work either, i will try what you suggested to see if it works though, thanks for the advice.

Seriously, get the alarms switched off and people MUST get down the corridor asap.

The problem we have is people piss around too much killing back on the ramps, people need to learn to just let them run up the ramp if alarms have been done, everyone gets their butt up to top doorway and run down corridor asap - yay title.

If you don't get it, go back lashing chamber, rinse repeat till you get it right.

I never figured out how to run DL, nor what to do in DL.

It was 'run if needed' instance back in guild when I started and I was taken trough twice, getting title second time.
