Permanent 'Downed' State
Why do you feel the need to cut of your entire screen actually,what’s there to hide ? Maybe it can show the reason why it says your downed..
I don’t see how this adds anything, but sure:
I can run around the world, be anywhere, fight and kill things, still stuck with the ‘downed’ debuff.
From the wiki:
Each time you are downed will incur one point downed penalty which will reduce your downed mode health by 25% and each point will last for one minute. When you have been downed five times within one minute you will be automatically defeated without the chance to fight back.
I would guess that you recovered recently from being downed one or more times.
The downed penalty is a little red/yellow/grey arrow next to your health pool, not a blue debuff that stops your traits working.
