Guild Wars 2

Fort Aspenwood guardian in DBBL, 9:23pm PST, a few moments after collecting my loot bags after wiping a large TC force at hills outside the lords room I found myself suddenly dead…

I have video of the whole thing too.

woah. thats some weird dmg right there. i wonder what caused that. hacks maybe? or a game glitch

Anything in the combat log?

In the video (which I’ll render over the weekend sometime) there is nothing in the combat log. Just normal stuff you would expect to see. It was definitely some game glitch. It was a zergy battle and at one point all I could do was spam #1.

This was reset night 9/13 on DBBL around 9:23pm PST. After a skill-lagged battle (where you see I try to activate guardian mace #3 skill a few times unsuccessfully), I got instanced out or something. Everyone but my party disappears and I am struck for an insane amount of damage that doesn’t appear in the combat log. The bug occurs at like 1:33 into the video.

Maybe this was a Friday the 13th thing!

oh wait. look at the mini map! u were not only skilllaging, u were lagging too. the commander icon rubberbands, so maybe u hit a major lagspike and were killed in the mean time.

Selan,

I thought about that. Yes it was laggy, which could still be a possibility.

Look at the battle. You can see where I’m taking damage and conditions and boons and all that good stuff. The death occurs sometime after the battle, after I’m able to activate skills other than #1. There’s nothing in the combat log to indicate such a spike. I got XP and picked up loot after the battle. How do I get loot spread out all over if I had died?

I’ve been in the middle of a skill lag battle where everything freezes: friends and enemies, then comes back and I’m dead. This wasn’t like that. This was after the skill lag. Everyone but those in my party disappear, as if I get instanced out.

Seems more to me like one of those Alt-F4 effects where the game thought I Alt-F4’d out (because of the lag) and then when I “came back” it killed me.

People cant res you it means you are actually in another place which is bottom of the hill. You simply lagged and fell down cliff.

If you were lagging then the game could have thought you were in once play, showed you in another, then when the game tried to correct itself you took “falling damage” equal to the difference. It’s kinda the same when you die or almost die from walking down an angled sloop…this has happened to me a number of times.

…that or I’m talking out of my *.

Yea, detail I left out was that people couldn’t rez me. I had to waypoint.

Heh, remember the rubberbanding when dropping down a cliff?

It’s a bug.

I had a similar thing happen a couple days ago. I had just entered WvWvW in my home borderland. While moving inside the Citadel I took damage of about 1/2 my health. Obviously not combat related.
