It was obviously not intended and if you knew it wasn't enabled and actively jumped down to be quicker - it's your fault. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HumanDecency 3 Posted February 7, 2014 Thank you for the warning. Yesterday I climbed up a lighthouse tower and was surveying the landscape from the railing. Accidentally fell through the railing and landed with no damage whatsoever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrussell4402 21 Posted February 7, 2014 I feel your pain, but we are still very early in development. Have you tried crawling up those stairs in the barn, then suicide off the ledges? I don't know if this actually works, haven't had my legs broken yet since purchasing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted February 7, 2014 Thank you for the warning. Yesterday I climbed up a lighthouse tower and was surveying the landscape from the railing. Accidentally fell through the railing and landed with no damage whatsoever.Fall damage was off yesterday. Today's patch turned it back on and it states in the patch notes - Systems: Falling now causes dynamic damage (roughly, fall of >5m break legs depending on equipment, >15m probably death) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkwaveDomina 1099 Posted February 7, 2014 Someone earlier made a post about how they made a splint (sticks + rags) and kept it in their inventory, they took fall damage but didn't break their legs. I think from now on I am going to keep one on my person just in case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
