Guild Wars 2

Falling off of platforms into “infinite pits” in Fractals now instantly kills the player.

Before, players were put into the downed state.

Was this an intended change or is this a bug?

It smells like a bug to me:

• You always die (never downed)
• Armor is always broken, even if you are out of combat at the start.
• It happens even after jumping off the ledge, while in the lobby.

If it’s not a bug, it absolutely should have been mentioned in the update notes.

If anything, it’s currently the fastest way to rack up your /deaths counter, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Does that count as an exploit? Heck it might be faster than trib mode SAB
