Future of Falling and Dieing

[MystoganXIX 78]

So a recent thread I've been reading had me think about all the times I've died in this game. Generally the answer should be either zombies, health problems, other players being douchebags...

 

Nope, most of the times I've died in this game was from falling, and most of the time it was from falling 3-7 feet. This is infuriating because there's no thrill of being eaten by a zombie or losing a gunfight with some jackwagons at Balota.

 

I really do believe this should be changed in a future patch as the distances I'm falling and dying from are pretty retarded. Even if I was carrying a huge mountain backpack completely filled with supplies, at the MOST I might break a few legs.

The unresponsiveness I get from the movement controls during a small amount of lag constantly kills me in this manner.

 

The ladders can sometimes be hard to use.  I have many times tried to walk over and try to climb down, but instead I actually do walk over the ladder and die. (A couple of these falls were understandable deaths) Also many deaths from climbing over the ruins of city buildings only to be met with a sudden 3ft drop to my hilariously pathetic death.

 

Hopefully the fatal distance is increased a bit in future patches. Breaking legs is annoying, but still understandable with all that crap we carry. Death is just retarded. I saw a drunken fat man who was putting in shingles a couple years ago fall off of my roof ass first. The result was him getting up and laughing. The result ingame would have been death.

No way, bro.  This is practically the most harrowing part of the game right now.

Seriously though, it's an issue I too have dealt with.

Yeah this should be fixed. Falling from 3-7 ft and dying is a huge piss off.
