Title: Reproducable (more or less) "fell of the edge of the world"
Post by: grayFalcon on August 07, 2006, 11:03:45 pm
Hello!

I'm not sure this is 100% reproducable, doing so 2 times was more than enough for me:

If I start fighting a monster and then, during the fight, start running backwards (e.g. because it turns out it's beating the crap out of me and I don't want to waste time on turning around), I fall off the edge of the world and die, after... uh... if I had to approximate, I'd say it's about 5-10 meters (assuming a dwarf is about 1-1.5 meters high).

Btw. would it be possible to not be transported to the realm of death after falling off the edge of the world, but some safe location instead? Even Hanquist would be better, would at least save the trouble of running through the whole rod...

I feel your pain greyFalcon...I've been reproducing this adnausium and have fallen off the world so many times I feel like I'm living in orbit!

Read my post "Attack Bug". There are major problems with combat these days that I hope they are working on it as we speak...I hope  :)

falling is fun, the screen goes all blue, your character runs in place. everything multiplies itself 100000000 times if you move it around, ( great for taking screenshots then using a imag prog cut out peices of the thing along with others and make a nice bit of artwork...looks wild if you add some animation layers )   :offtopic: sort of i know, but i have the same problem a good 5 times a day, its something you get used to

...Respectfully...I appreciate that you are putting a good face on this problem but, it's not something you should get used to. (never was like this...so many things wrong with combat) It is a bug that should be fixed and it makes the combat portion of the game fail in realism and just plain no fun...I say this with plenty of understanding and reverence for the monumental tasks ahead of the gamemakers all  :)

For some reason, almost every time I unstick, instead of going to a safe place, I end up falling off the edge of the world. :/

I also fell off the edge of the world, disturbing though isn't it...
