Massive Falling Damamge Bug?

Snark · 05-14-2008, 09:56 PM

3 times since the LU I have taken EXCESSIVE falling damage (From drops I should have been able to survive)

Like, over 5 million damage. Definitely a bugged-high amount. This is WITH the cloak adornment.

Anyone else seeing this? What could be causing it?

Probably being in the Kraken has something to do with it.

This happened to me too, I think it might have something to do with the game re-rendering mounts after you get off an uncontrollable mount... at least when it happened to me, I was on a sokokar flying from Danak to howling stones, and jumped off over maidens... landed on the roof... and it killed me. Even tho it never has before, whether I was on my horse or not... this was on my guard, with 12300 HP. I took something like 5 million damage or something ridiculous for no apparent reason. It gave my group mates a chuckle, but there's definitely some sort of bug that seems related to the mount change.

I did the same jump today, on my warden, exactly the same except with less HP and I wasn't on a horsie when I got on the sokokar to fly towards Howling Stones, and survived without any issues.

i dont ever use mounts so I dont think thats related.. and neither time was from jumping off a sokokar

happened to me as well, 230k falling dmg with reduce falling dmg cloak adorn + crafting epic earring equipped when jumping down to Temple of Korsha zone in... the guy jumping right after me took like 700 falling dmg . no mount was involved.

same jump, 230k falling dmg as opposed to a few hundred with 90% falling dmg reducer? I heavily doubt thats working as intended.

If you're "big-boned" IRL, it makes falling damage increase exponentially in-game.

This is the greatest bug ever... Reminds me when i was a templar (long time ago) and was in Antonica and jumped off a rock and darn near killed myself.

Eq2 version of an "overbounce".

Jamesray · 05-16-2008, 01:49 PM

Yep totally reminds me of EQ1, zoning in to the commonlands ring...bounce bounce bounce bounce and 10k damage from falling about 18 inches.

eq1 took weight into account when it calculated damage. Oh the good old days of giving beggers 2 gazillion copper... then casting levitate on them when they complained they couldn't move.

Then suggesting they click it off if since didn't help.
