Guild Wars 2

Anyone else noticed this? I was at top to do the Hybrid. Then wanted to go back(after doing Hybrid) cause a chamber was open nearby at the third floor where you easily could go from top – for chance on maybe a purple key for another tricolor key.

But then I got killed… by nothing. Someone rezzed me and I got killed again… on that wooden path up to the chest with wooden planks. No condition(first thought there might also be some toxic stuff in the air). Just 1-2 seconds heavy damages like 4-5k and I was dead. Bug?

Read the combat log

Its a pretty known issue that running down the planks will give you falling damage sadly. Supposedly if you stop moving as soon as you start taking damage (and allow yourself to heal) then you can avoid the death.

But I personally seem to instantly die even if I do stop, but I think that is a lag issue on my part more then anything.

There is nothing in the combat log. Thanks for the link. Yeah. This is the problem. Don’t know why they haven’t fixed it yet. Usually they are fast with hotfixes on such small problems…

Yep, had that one too. Player who was close and rezzed me was pretty puzzled, too.

Location desync’d. It’s when your location on your client is not the same as your location on the server. For example, your client shows that you’re here but actually you’re 5 metres ahead according to the server. Try running to the wall for about 10 seconds. It will reset your position.

That ramp is dangerous to run down, that’s for sure :P Learned that running forward a little bit at a time helped.

The problem is that the game detects several small jumps as a single one. As you walk down such a slope, the game will consider you are going down several small cliffs, and you’ll get damage as if you fell from all the way up.
Avoid using speed effects of over 25% while going doing down, too.

Walk down the ramp rather than running. you can set a toggle for walk/run in options

Strangely enough, I’ve also avoided the damage by jumping my way down the ramp.

This is truly an annoying bug in the game. For me, the ramp in Southsun Cove going down to the beach is notorious for killing me this way.
