Knocked Out by Stupidity

[BoltScar]

I was wandering around Zendar and thinking of all my troubles, while looking at the floor. Suddenly, I didn't notice the stairs in front of me and I hit one of the woods and fell unconscious. When I woke up, I noticed that someone stole all my belongings!

They shouldn't put those wooden stairs in there! More people can get hurt!

Ok ok, what the hell happened?

 

[DaLagga]

Huh?........... I don't really understand what happended...

 

[GhostThaxian]

You mean, you ran into the stairs and...
Fell unconsions?

That's a rather violent encounter with wooden stairs.

Sounds very much like the killer barrel, I suppose it is the same bug.

 

[jknemesis]

That has happened to me too. I think there's a bug either in that part of Zendar or there's a problem with the way the game handles fall damage.
Why are those stairs there anyway? You can't go in that building...

 

[Ingolifs]

I think it's just generally a problem with clipping and collision detection. I've seen it happen in other games too.

(for instance, in duke nukem 3d, if you walk along a gap that becomes progressively narrower until it's too narrow for you to fit anymore, instead of you being blocked at the end, you get squished.

Yeah if you try jumping on some stuff in the game and are kind of suspended in the air a bit, then fall 1.5 inches it manages to do twenty damage sometimes.
Then you jump off the roof of the barn which is five times higher and, it does nothing.
Though if that happens it tends to do weird stuff and make you fall that 1.5 inches really fast.

Teh weird.

 

[Lhorkan]

Yeah, it's more than well-documented, I suppose.

You gotta watch where you're going!

Haha, I've done that IRL once. Was looking another way when I walked straight into a pole and smacked my head hard.

It looks like your character was drinking to much the tavern, and wandered out to find a place to sleep it off.

 

[Raz]

I believe he just fell unconcious there jumping off the stairs
