this is an exploit and should be put in the bug report section. It is pretty easy to replicate and should be reported in the ingame menu

Honestly I'm not sure on what point for it though... or how to go about reporting it. Tbfh I was more thinking it was an intended feature. Unless there is something I am missing on this or real point of doing something like this to exploit something.

Well, since zos reads the forums and can now admit that is a bug and is therefore reporting it, does he have to?

RebornV3x · June 2018

I found out about this 3 days ago how long as this been in the game ive been playing since at least console release and never knew this would have been helpful during Orsinium

Danny_UK · June 2018

Well if people didn't know they sure do now, I wouldn't have said anything lol.

Far as I am concerned me bringing it forward might better inform us though. I guess it could be a funny party trick far as I can think of.

You cannot block the falling damage.

It looks like the game decided it is a dive in.

geonsocal · June 2018

what happened?

or, more to the point - how'd that happen...

I've jumped off enough keeps and outpost second floors to know you can mitigate fall damage by blocking and rolling backward while landing...didn't know you can totally eliminate damage though...

dmar613 · June 2018

I'll tell you how, hold block and hold down on the left joystick for consoles. yw

Yeah I know it reduces damage but I dunno why but since either chapter release or newest update it is preventing it. Not sure why tho.

Shouldn't prevent the fall damage.

Juhasow · June 2018

Same goes for PC users but not only by holding block.

.

Armatesz · June 2018

I've always thought it was the blocking that caused it to get reduced or no damage unless something else I am doing is causing it. Meh

Didn't realize it was a perfect landing... I should rewatch my video...

Armatesz · June 2018

That was not a perfect landing... I didn't land on the actual dirt piece of land but the barely 2 inchs of water >.>

inclinations · June 2018

Close to the water (.25) you slid off part of the lower cliff and prevented fall damage. Had you missed it you'd most likely died.

If you hit something so steep you slide of like an roof or rock face it cancel fall damage.
Know that shields work, nice for sorc with their 10 second shield.

Nestor · June 2018

Shield do not, or at least did not.mitigate fall damage.

I know damage shields is a sort of touchy thing, I know I've had times it did help but majority of the time it does not, even the video I have shows it didn't work to aid the fall damage but I dunno honestly.

Where did u jump from?

In stormhaven there is this area called weeping giant where there is literally this gargantuan dwarven statue laying on its side... you have to jump off the nose. Far eastern side of stormhaven on xbox na. I'm bs'ing and enjoying the view atm.

Same or similar issue already "logged" in the bug forum for PC:

Armatesz · June 2018

I thought point was to try to guide yourself while blocking but that didn't constitute into the fall damage, honestly though that sometimes the slow time could be some kind of lag.

Nestor · June 2018

If you land on some objects like trees or rocks you will have no fall damage as you are not landing on the ground, but this is not always consistent. I knew about the block to mitigate, but not eliminate the damage. I dont know why the shield you cast would have helped, I tested that a long time ago and it did not help. I never tried both a shield and block.

Have tried this in Orsinium or some of the places in Auridon?

AcadianPaladin · June 2018

Dunno on block / shield. When the jump is intentional, I pop rapid regen/mutagen then toss a healing springs down into my 'landing zone'. It does help. Lol.

sevomd69 · June 2018

Shhhh....smh...

Most_Awesome · June 2018
