Guild Wars 2

A few days ago I was roaming in the desert borderlands when I came across an enemy berserker. After a few seconds of fighting the player realized I had the advantage and ran. I chased and we eventually reached a cliff where he dived off. I thought he was suiciding as he was not able to shake me. However I never got wxp for a kill. I climb down on a nearby ledge to find him still alive at what should have been a leathal fall..

How did he survive???

Notes:
-The cliff is just east of the southern surface tower at the fire keep.
-The fall is from the fire keep surface(the desert) to the floor below(next to the south fire shrine)
-He was an asuran berserker with approx 60% hp left.
-The jump looked deliberate.
-I watched him fall straight down without colliding or landing on anything till he was out of visual range.

Right there is a bale of straw. I’ve used it several times myself.
Apart from that you can also take a waypoint in mid-air.

I never notticed a hay bale or the birds that mark it… I have to check next time im in game…

Secondly he was at the bottom after he jumped so a waypoint isn’t possible….

its possible he clip a wall game reset his fall dmg some time game hit high enough lag spike it skip fall dmg taken all together i had it happen to me a few times where i knew i was dead then took 0 fall dmg lol

Windfall only affect the area around Air Keep.
Most likely it was the Hay Bale as the above user posted.

There are several hay bales around cliffs now providing you a soft spot to land. Mr kittenwarr probably used one to save his kitten .

Yeah It was a hay bale, Strange that I thought they put birds above each bale to let players know…

I’m going chalk this up on poor map design. Theres no easy way to know where hay bales are or to tell you what there for besides jumping to your death.

There is a bird above the bale to let you know. See the screenshots in my first post~
