Too much jumping damage with high jump skill.

[kameltoes]

I can't tell you how many times I've died because of jumping super high (Due to High Jump Skill) only to come back down and die because of it.

in the early game you don't have high enough skill to take damage, unless you're jumping off cliffs and hills.
by the time your skill increase to the level that you take damage from jumping you should have food (ideally in all 3 slots). which among other things like increasing health pool gives you regeneration.

also..random fact: falling damage is capped at 100. you can't die if you have 101hp or more. (unless there are also other sources of damage like fire\poison or enemies

Thats not the problem dude , me with 90 jump skill its sucks so much that for every jump you take 5-10 damage , ever worst on hills
When you just want explore with 3 stamina foods ( because one think that only gonna run and jump ) and your hp gets low first that your stamina lol ( because some stamina foods just give 1 hp regen lol )

for me jumping after 50-60 produced some problems (i wasn't able to jump into windows as consistently as before due to increased height). had to rebuild few things in my house.

never died to falling damage though. XD

Huh, interesting to know.

If you're on level ground and actually take damage from a standing jump when landing, I would consider that a bit of an oversight and something the developers should look in to fixing.

As a mad man who literally runs and jumps around everywhere, I'd rather not accidentally die from simple exploration, or when scoping out land for a new base. (Though I am typically well-fed with H/H/S foods at all times.)

But I can totally understand fall damage; falling from a cliff should obviously have consequences. Based on the game Engine, though, it might be fairly difficult programming-wise to differentiate a user-initiated jump from a fall, or knockback from an enemy that pushes you off of something.

Regardless.. this is an interesting find.

I have jump skill 100. There is no fall damage from jumping on level ground. However, you do need to be more aware when jumping off a rock or something of a higher height. Either way, we're talking about maybe 7 - 8 damage.

If you're dying from jump skill, then you need to be smarter. Further, if you are dying from jump skill, then you lose 5% of the skill and I find it hard to believe this is something that is continually killing someone as getting back about 5 levels of jump skill takes time.

Even with mods enabled I never had jumping higher than 60 and didn't have a problem. With that said I wish that leveling your jumping would also increase the minimum height before you take fall damage or reduce it altogether. From the sounds of it it should fix your problems as well.

Ah, well that's good to know then.

I understand jumping from something of a higher height might cause you to take some damage, but was under the assumption OP meant from level ground.

Personally, I only really take fall damage when I'm diving off of my base walls while trying to be quick about things, hah.

Actually - the thought of "Jump" becoming something like "Tumble" and very slightly helping reduce fall damage is a really, really appealing one. Even if I don't run and jump and bounce everywhere, I'm sure we've all taken a leap off a palisade wall or two in our viking (past) lives.

[Trakehner]

I love how you can do that supet jump at times... Yet, other times I seem to struggle to jump.

I can hunt and kill demi-gods, but a 2 foot ledge is my nemesis somehow.

[kameltoes]

I'm not talking about a jump on perfectly level terrain. I'm talking about jumping from anything within a difference of a meter or two. The terrain is hilly and different heights. Just a slight variation in the terrain and the jump damage can outright kill you. (no food oc)
Now, eating good foods will help minimize the damage, but sometimes life happens. :/

That and sprint jumps are like perma-poison with top jump lvl haha

I'd be cool with jump skill going a bit Oblivion and becoming acrobatics with a slight reduction on fall damage for higher levels. So far one of my most common deaths come down to putzing around my base and not wasting food while I do and then I just slip off something and *splat*. Though admittedly that happens far less since I got in the habit of eating at least one meat even if I'm just putzing around my own well protected base...unless I fall off my dock roof but that things tall and I don't need to get up there often, I can't reasonably expect to survive a fall from what is at least an 8 story structure with no health buffs lol.

I guess the problem is running and jumping on downhill slopes? Both of those skills will increase your horizontal jumping range, leaving you further to fall at the end.

I agree. Specically too much damage falling from rooftop. I played games where part of increasing jump skill made you better able to survive drops. Honestly, falling is my number 1 cause of death lately.

Just died from rooftop fall when I had eaten 3 foods. Granted I had only 50 life cause inside my base I go more for stamina in case I cut wood at night, or sneak just to level sneak.

Another point about rooftops. The higher your jump skill, the further you jump. So when you had to hold key longer to make the right length jump, all the sudden same time holding key equals jumping off roof, where before it was a small hop off ladder (climbing to get trhough hole in roof to stand on it for some tweaking).

So its so easy to over estimate small jumps on roofs as you progress. Now if the penalty wasn't losing basically 2 skill points in every single skill at my current skill levels. Then no biggie.

I have my tallest build ever. Do I really have to go around the outside and place roof panels facing the wrong one, like awnings. This would break my fall to half damage perhaps if placed halfway down. But they would break realism.

To sum all this up. Would be nice if the length/height you jumped isn't change unless you held the jump key for at least 1/2 a second. Instant taps shouldn't propel you into low orbit. Failing this, then reduce fall damage by 50%.
