Guild Wars 2

Anything being done about the bug that causes you to die from walking down a slight slope as if you had jumped off too high a cliff?? This is a big problem for WvW’ers…

Gettin real tired of watching my guild mates die for no reason & need a rez, slowing up group play in a realm where time is of the essence.
This doesn’t happen to me personally bcs I use the falling trait & I jump around a lot while I’m running along. However it does annoyingly put me in combat run-speed occassionally.

Also, when the new masteries come out, this is going to be an even bigger problem….

Not sure if it’s tied to the issue you mentioned but I noted something like that on PvE too. On Frostgorge Sound, near the camp at Leopard’s Tail Valley (a camp near to where Champion Drake and Champion Quaggan spawns) there is a slight slope on the path from camp to the champion and several times I got at half health by just jumping that slope. Once I even reached 10% of health because I was too fast with jumping. :S

If you run down stairs too quickly (usually with swiftness), you can kill yourself.

It’d be hilarious if it wasn’t obnoxious.

Done that, walking down little slopes in pve areas can really put a dammper on my health. Instead, I’ve found jumping instead of walking/sliding you don’t lose as much. Nethertheless, this is a strange occurance with these small slopes.

This has been a bug since forever in GW2, so I’m sure they’re well aware of it. I’m guessing it’s not fixed yet due to technical limitations with the game engine though.

In the meantime, if you do notice yourself taking damage from a slope, just stop momentarily and then you will be able to continue. It is sometimes difficult to do since the damage will sometimes come in several rapid ticks, but it’s the only workaround at the moment.
