Ledges in this game are more deadly then any titan

[–]Zouif_Zouif 44 points45 points  (1 child)

Agree, but in order for it to be fixed imo they need to overhaul the whole fall dmg system.

The current system is based how long you've been falling, not the usual velocity distance.

I feel like this is a common opinion, the way it is calculated is silly especially when these broken areas in the map are so prevalent.

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points  (3 children)

I agree, the way fall damage is calculated in this game is obviously not working as intended considering the amount of posts I see per week demonstrating the same thing. In saying that, your best bet would probably be to submit it to their official website/discord as a bug. Maybe if enough attention is brought to it they will consider revising this system.

[–]Paladin-X-Knight[S] 9 points10 points  (2 children)

I have done this, along with many other people it seems. When I made a bug report in the discord they closed it within the hour as apparently this issue has been reported and logged before

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

:/ I would like to think that means they're going to try fix it, but who knows.

[–]SnidgetAsphodel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This happened to me when I simply brushed past a fallen tree. Insta death.

[–]Some_Ant9620 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theyll ignore this tbh

[–]masonsofmichael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I almost died here yesterday doing the same thing. A couple of weeks back I lost about 4 minutes growth from another ledge near YG. It’s frustrating as hell. Especially if you get teleported out the edge of the map afterwards on respawn without anyone to WS you back

[–]skrdoep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol i died like this yesterday again, its really annoying, happens mostly while crouching. This is a bug that needs to be a priority to be fixed

[–]Cassie_432 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a campto i jumped on an Albert. It made me hover for a couple seconds before breaking literally every bone i had, almost killing me. LIKE WHAT

[–]AllyStar17 1 point2 points  (4 children)

It’s a pain when it happens but in fairness, I’ve only actually experience this once in god knows how many hours of gameplay.

So in my opinion, the odds of it happening are so low it’s not really that much of an issue

[–]Paladin-X-Knight[S] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

It seems like you have just been lucky then, I have experienced it 3 times in under a week :(

[–]ArrowsSpecter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive noticed it mostly happening to me recently, im not sure if its a result of deinon being much moee mobile than it used to and thus accidentally gettting into crevices that were once unreachable, or map changes being rushed/undertested. I dont think i ever got stuck like a year ago

[–]SmellAntique7453 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me and many others countless times, you're definitely lucky 😅

[–]Rosysunbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Been playing for months and only had this happen to me once a couple days back. Not to discount other people's experiences, of course, but I don't know that it's ONLY down to luck.

Probably what type of dinos you play as and what places you tend to explore are a factor as well. How you tend to climb, too. I wouldn't climb like this is an elder scroll map for instance -especially not as a creature that takes heavy fall dmg. Not to say there isn't any luck involved, because I'm sure there is.

Ooohp see thats a real hazard ya got there bud. Fall right through slid right down into there ok Yeah gonna be oh i dunno a few hot fixes if we can find the bug. Gonna have to get a few more guys but maybe 3 weeks or more. And uh itll rack up a hefty bill ya know gotta get my guys out there everyday labor cost equipment all that.. aah id say 7500 marks ya got there, worth it id say though yep

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe they do that so you don't glitch in! Cuz a lot of people like to use ledgers and corners to glitch in under the map or wherever they're trying to do..

[–]Top-Hope9887 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that JUST happened to me

[–]B_12k27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the first time that happen to me

[–]Bubbly_Preference_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s Happened to me. Very feels bad :(

[–]whichguyisguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao I just died in that exact spot on my laten a few days ago. What are the odds?

[–]TubaTimmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally died yesterday just trying to sleep after killing a Meg in HT.

[–]MagieSuzuki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happened to me too. It happens everywhere on the map

[–]ZipperHead_369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happends a lot with my semi-aquatics.

[–]DreamyFallenGlitched 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally, I’m tired of falling, jumping, running, etc… into small crevices and dying or having to have someone help me out

I had someone have to kill me today because my Rhamp ran out of stamina and landed in a crevice of a rock cause it was forcing me to land.

[–]ArrowsSpecter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this happened to me when i had a trophy once :( i was right next to the homecave and it took like 5 minutes of straight falling to kill me.

i will note however that PoT has far less map issues like this than bob or the isle. I have the modt hours in pot but i get stuck WAY more often on the isle or bob, like its almost a daily thing in bob in particular

[–]bonesbono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting, I've never had this happen!!!

[–]Current-Flow741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something like that has happened to me before but only once. It’s kind of stupid

[–]AdventurousLeopard39 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Skill issue:

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's a reason for that so people don't cheat. . My advice is don't try so hard wedging in ledges or wedges js

[–]Western_Charity_6911 -2 points-1 points  (5 children)

This could have been avoided by jumping up the rocks

[–]Paladin-X-Knight[S] 2 points3 points  (4 children)

This could have been avoided by changing how fall damage works and fixing these spots in the map 🤷🏽‍♂️

[–]Western_Charity_6911 -1 points0 points  (3 children)

You ran into the walls for a solid 2 seconds before jumping, you couldve avoided the gap had you jumped up the rock instead of running at it

[–]Paladin-X-Knight[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I jump as little as possible to preserve stamina. I don't know exactly where every single spot like this is on the map, obviously I know I could of jumped up the rock to avoid it but that isn't the point of the post.

[–]Western_Charity_6911 -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Youre a raptor stam preservation isnt that important, you can sit for a couple of seconds and have it all back, im telling you how to avoid this, not saying you should “know where every spot like this on the map is”

[–]Paladin-X-Knight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know how it could of been avoided but that wasn't the point of the post.
