I am taking “falling damage” with every step while simply running down a mild incline. This is 100% repeatable across several characters in several different zones and happens on about half the inclines I run down. None of the inclines where this happens are “cliffs” or otherwise too steep to run down. I am not “sliding” down these hills, I am running down them and taking damage from nothing as I run.

The most recent example occurred in Blazeridge Steppes WNW of the Monument Grounds Vista, running ENE down the hill toward the path. Screenshot attached showing the exact map location plus a view of the mild hill that inexplicably killed me as I ran down it.

Because it is so illogical, so absurd and so unexpected, I generally die from it because I don’t react quickly enough (and stop running) when it happens… again, not that I’m slacking, but rather that the game is cheating against me and I don’t expect that- or deserve it. The damage is severe, and seems to be Level 80 damage even when I am “zoned down” to ~7k health as I was in Blazeridge this morning, killing me at level 80 in full Exotics and Ascendeds in about 3-4 steps as I run.

Please fix this. Thanks.

This happens when the servers lag.

And the servers are lagging 24/7

Best way to abuse it for a laugh is to continually spam jump after taking fall damage, even on flat ground.

ALL IS VAIN.
PvP modes are the “endgame” in all MMOs.
Stop failing at PvE, and fix WvW/SPvP. Thank you.

I agree with thaooo: this sounds like your client thinks you are in one place, but the server is convinced you are elsewhere. Contact support and see if you can troubleshoot the issue with them.

It has happend to me also sometime when i ran down the stairs from Isomir in Wayfarer Foothills.

EVERY MMO is awesome until it is released then its unfinished. A month after release it just sucks.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.
