Guild Wars 2

I found myself tripping to death on slopes I used to be able to just run down after the megaserver update. You take damage on one single spot and then all of a sudden you just get compounded with damage every step you take after that until you’re dead – not downed, straight death from tripping.

It’s slightly irritating to think that you could possibly trip yourself to death on slight declines… I think a better mechanic would be to cripple us instead of taking damage but that’s just me.

It’s not exactly new. People have been tripping themselves to death down slopes ever since launch. Just be careful where you leap in PvE; in WvW, you learn where are the safe spots to jump down after a while.

I seen it happens first hand

I’m finding it very upsetting that you DIE in PvE from falling damage. At best you should just be downed. Some of us aren’t as handy with the jumping as others and don’t appreciate being punished for it in this manner.

I’ve been playing since beta and have never taken more than a single instance of damage on any slope that can be walked up. I died twice in 3 days after the update walking down a slope that I’ve walked down thousands of times safely.

You shouldn’t take damage from tripping on slopes period, you should be incrementally crippled like a sprained ankle in the real world.

I have noticed this for some time, before the update even, it seems like more ticks of damage then there should be

it’s still there.. especially when you took falling damage before you walk off the slopes.the bug that keeps you in combat for (ever) a while after taking falling damage doesn’t help it either.

The whole “in combat”, “Falling damage” & “Pebble” system really needs some attention.
