Staircase damage

[morlan 27]

Hi,

I have reported this a could of times in game and was told I should post on here. I am unable to reproduce the bug but it has happened a number of times now. It is possible to take a QL50 wound whilst walking down a wooden staircase.

 

Effected set-up:

staircase tile with a wall on the north, east and west tile borders, the floor it leads to is an open space with 1 tile separation to a wall on the north face, and 2 tile separation on all other faces. There are objects "under" the staircase 1 BSB, 1 bed, 1 IRON_LAMP

 

Description of event:

Walking down the staircase as normal (at naked speed of 15kph), half way down the staircase I receive the "ouch" message and have a wound randomly generated between QL43 and QL53. The damage was on my chest twice and legs once. Wound type is always "bruise" and rated "severe".

 

Efforts to reproduce:

Theory 1: I fell down the hole

I jumped down the hole many times to test damage values which I can compare against suspected bug event.

As yet no damage over QL8 has been received doing this.

 

Theory 2: I fell down the hole awkwardly which I an unable to reproduce deliberately.

Assuming that fall damage is calculated based on how far you fall and your weight (perhaps other stats) I designed my house so that I can jump off from a 1 tile hight. This allowed me to test the values from repeatedly jumping off and comparing the damage values against the event.

Jumping 8/10 times causes no injury at all when I do take damage its always to the feet and the values are between QL1 and QL15. This is not consistent with the event.

 

Theory 3: 'WoW' they coded falling down the stairs (modified theory #2)

I thought that perhaps going down the banister exactly and jamming myself in there would cause the issue, but so far I have been unable to damage myself doing this that is not consistent with the outcome of theory #1.

 

Additional information

On once occasion I found myself under the stairs when this event happened, so I started experimenting with lag events to cause myself to be half way down the stairs only to glitch into the stairs but this did not deliver any damage.

This is relating to Wurm Online and I play on the Xanadu server.

 

I'm not very good at making healing covers yet so I hope this helps to figure out what's happening here.
