ThatBritshGuy 26 Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Things were going really well, I found a gun, got some ammo, had a nice full set of military cloths with a assault vest, enough food and drink to last me a while. I was dressed like a hero because that's how I like to play, walked into a barn, I went up the first set of steps, found nothing. So, like any normal person I walked half way down the steps and accidentally walked off the side of the steps I was already half way down and you know, this is like less than a metre of the ground and just like that, dead, not a broken leg, not knocked out, just dead. For starters in I should have obtained no injuries what so ever off that tiny little fall but I died, and now I'm sad... Please fix this.

Energized, hungry? At healthy status, falls like that shouldn't even break a leg. Oh yeah, and we've all died like that. It's bs, but yeah. You're lucky you didn't just break your legs and have to lay there and starve to respawn. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hello and welcome to the forums. :) Whilst I still don't agree with that, considering the amounts of gear you're carrying on you, plus a weapon in your hand (most likely) - you can easily break your legs falling off the edge like that. But remember, that it's still Alpha / Early Access and things like that (such as falldamage) are subject to change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Monk 320 Posted March 22, 2014 The same thing that killed you there, has fired me off the side of a fire station at high velocity. You then land, stand about for a bit, continue as before. You just wait till you move from stairs to ladders! Those are the true enemy in DayZ. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) My point is that I did not slip in a bathtub...Yup, you prefer slippin stairs.And just tellin, recently a friend of mine just broke his feet while leavin the bed - still pissin my pants on that.Sure, this might happen to 1:1000000 - but it's gonna happen - normally u can walk/ fall down from those stairs without any harm but sometimes - BAAAM.In general i agree fall damage need be adjusted.

amiasfree 262 Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Full health, not thirsty and I was energizedSo did it look like this:? You're only truly 'healthy' if you have a green glowing bar in your inventory that says so (which only appears if you have a green glowing 'energized and hydrated' bars that you get from eating alot and drinking alot of soda and water). If you don't have at least that, your health just stays low, so if you were weakened by repeated zombie attacks, shots etc, you may have just been really weak and the fall was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Or, your back, in this case. If you knew all this, and you were fully healthy, I guess it's just a glitch. I personally have fallen fairly far off of stairs in healthy status and it just ruined my pants and everything in it, didn't even knock 'healthy' status off.
