I’d been having a problem with the Wintersday JP, where I often would take massive damage after running down the candy cane right after the stairs of presents, and I see that other people have had this same problem in the forums. I didn’t realize it was related to falling damage until just recently while running around Malchor’s Leap, and that it’s a universal bug.

In Malchor’s leap, if you run from the vista in Theater of Delight, and do a jump off the hill while heading toward Alarjann Bayt, the fall is just far enough to do a tiny bit of falling damage. The problem is, if like me and most players, you constantly hold the forward key down while jumping, instead of using only one movement key at a time, you can take massive falling damage, and even kill yourself. So the continuous movement forward just keeps compounding the falling damage. Release keys to stop, otherwise running downhill kills.

Seems like a pretty serious issue related to the JP, as time is of the essence, and you’re instinct is to not stop moving forward, with a dwindling health pool.

I am experiencing the same issue. Either in the Wintersday JP or anywhere else, I have killed myself multiple times in the Silverwastes maze entrance that way. Falling damage can drain 100% of your health pool in a two-three seconds.

As far as I know, this is an old bug. Downhill/stairs kills you. I tend to jump down slopes and such, not run. I think it is mentioned somewhere in the wiki as well.

Instinct can be overridden. Just pause for half a second after jumping onto the candy cane, before you run. If half a second means you don’t finish the jp, you’re doing something else inefficiently/incorrectly elsewhere; it should not make/break the run for anyone.

Don’t jump onto the candy cane, dodge onto the circle and walk off it to the slope. Works for me at least ^^

You’re dumb. You’ll die, and you’ll leave a dumb corpse.
