Giga 100 dead after falling off a cliff 50 feet high.

[Navjotski]

A glich or ark's pathetic reality? Happened to anyone else here?

depends on how big it is. if a dino is more than 50 tall iteslf probubly not much...

bigger they are, the harder they fall

And that is not just a saying. The higher the weight of something falling, the more it will hurt.

But the more damage they can take. That's the thing. A Rex falling from a cliff that is the size of a house will probably hurt it a little but a human...yeah, most likely going to be dead or at least severely injured.

fml, amount of silly peeps that haven't figured out yet - when you NEED to run off a cliff, be it being lazy or otherwise - press E (mount button) before you hit the deck, and you will simply dismount, leaving you on top of the big Dinos (Rex, Giganato, Bronto etc) thus taking no damge whatsoever...

I smell an attempt to QQ about 'nerfs'

[💩]

Ark is full of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I got killed by a Titanomyrma after stabing it a million times with my pike

If you jump off your dino while its falling it wont lose any health

yup


1) see your falling down (optionally, you can intentionally fall to save time)
2) make quick looks at how far your falling (if you dont have a quick enough mind for this, you shouldnt be riding a giga on cliffs or ontop of big rocks/slopes)
3)just before hitting the bottom ( if the drop is high enough to enrage it) dismount

congrats... like nothing happened.

Seriously. Damn. I should be careful from now on. I havnt played ark since two months, so can anyone explain me about the dev dino nerf thingy? I rode a friend's spino 200 with 4k health and 300 Dam only?! I mean .. . They used to be like 20k hp and 1500 Dam before.

[Queen_Nessie.TTV]

They nerfed hp and dmg of all tamed creatures to balance them out, and didn't even make mindwipe able to be used by dinos. So now I don't know what the true stats are for breeding purposes. =\ We're now just breeding blind and hoping we get good stats on the babies.

Its the Giga's weak ankles. They had to have some weakness after all.

i guess you could say, it's the giga's achillie's heel...

[Navjotski]

I didnt see it's ankle breaking xD

A giga is massive, serveral tons in weight, and is a biped. Falling down a 50 foot cliff would cause catastrophic damage to the ankles of the animal and render it unable to walk, feed itself, or defend itself. It would also most likely have its entire front mass collide with the ground due to gravity, dislocating their hips and breaking their jaw. Dieing from this sort of fall is the most realistic it could be. Do not walk off cliffs while riding any dino.

[Szavwa]

As I understand the "nerf" (a.k.a. tamed dino balancing patch), it is not the reason why a dino would die from fall damage. Fall damage is taken as a percentage of health, so it has no bearing on how much HP your dino has. A Gig with 75K HP taking 100% fall damage from a "50 ft. cliff" would die just the same as a 30K HP Gig taking 100% HP damage.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the HP reduction from the balance patch doesn't have anything to do with fall damage...

[Zeek]

It is bothering me s bit that people think weight and the force of falling are connected... look up some physics.
