generic fall damage death

Recommended Posts

On the very top of the observation tower in Elektro scouting out targets for the squad

We got like 5 kills so far

Suddenly "you are dead"

"what do you mean I am dead?"

spawn at the mountain west of elektro, run back to my body (which is on one level lower than I was)

autopsy states reason i died was fall damage and i got all of my gear back except the stuff on my legs which was ruined

 

thx dean hall

If I got a piece of candy every time someone started another topic about this (granted: annoying) bug I would not be able to leave my room by now.

Also it doesn't seem to kill you but rather causes a random damage spike to your legs that is miraculously healed shortly after - given you did not die by the spike. In fact I did not recall an instance where I got killed by this but had my legs broken quite a lot and my pants ruined even more.

Report here - vote up!

There may be two distinct things here, although it's hard to distinguish between them. 

 

There is absolutely an insta-death risk (ie no broken legs or anything else - you just die instantaneously) on upper floors of the ATC, jails, barns, factories and probably lots of other multi-storey buildings. In fact the only place I've never had it happen is in the generic office building.

 

I'm not sure this is the same as the legs-broken bug, although of course it may be just the more extreme form.

Lol sitting in a third person server "god - viewing" all the fresh spawns that walk by so you can snipe them ? Ya you deserved that death :)

The devs should just disable fall damage from about 20 feet until they can devote enough time for it. Broke several boots and pants for nothing and with the new broke "bone" health that is unreplenishable the game is more of a mess than usual.

To be honest you can easily break a bone by falling from 20 feet.

I'm not saying disable fall damage from 20 feet from a realism standpoint, but a temporary immunity from 20 feet falls mean I am no longer suffering from broken legs when walking up the stairs at the two story military building or farm house due to a server pathing error. At least until time can be devoted to fixing what ever error causes you to break legs when walking up stairs and not "falling".

Presuming much on an internet forum? The only time I go anywhere near fresh spawns is to try to help them.

Stuff like that is done so often is it safe to "presume" such. Not sure why you are trying to hide it.

thx dean hall

 

 

THIS I just don't understand.

 

WTH does Rocket have to do with that at all?

 

What a whiny bunch of ignorant drivel....

 

Suggestion:

 

Leave DayZ, come back in a year.

 

Then declare it a broken piece of garbage and leave forever.

 

Your problems are solved!

I understood there was a note of sarcasm but I also felt you meant it on some level.

 

You're going to lose your character/gear to stupid stuff FOREVER in DayZ.

 

Embrace the nothingness, be one with the void.

 

Only then can you truly, "Dean with it".

 If you were capable of organising your words and thoughts better, people might stand a better chance of understanding you. Just sayin'.

 

I don't camp new spawns. Nor do most people (many of them, uh, quite new spawns) who fall through floors to their death.

Not flaming you, but the phrase "Dean with it" seems to now be a pretty stupid phrase since he is leaving the company due to Bohemia not wanting to go the same direction that he did with DayZ.  This pretty much shows us that its "Bohemia with it" and not Dean.

 

Anyway, about the topic.  I find this much less annoying that standing still on the second floor of the fire station stairway and breaking my leg.  This seems to only happen to me at NWAF, but I could be wrong.

I see your point but it sure doesn't change the fact that the phrase originated with Dean and will be forever referred to as such.

 

Also, Dean will still be involved with the production and oversight of the project for a very long time.

 

It's his claim to fame after all.

Maybe slow down on the stairs? Going up too fast results in tripping and a broken leg or death.

Excuse me but you remind me of a certain airbender, a guru perhaps? I think he lived 10,000 years ago? you probably haven't heard of him
