Shroud: falling off a platform

[Bonulino]

I have been in a couple of runs of the Shroud where people fell off one of the platforms and could not get back up. This made it impossible for them to participate in the rest of the raid and they were unable to pull any loot. Is there some ladder or ramp anywhere in the quest that will allow you to climb back up onto a platform if you fall?

[General_Gronker]

What platforms? It's been a couple weeks since I've run a Shroud, but I can't think of any platforms off the top of my head.

[Bonulino]

All of the action takes place on platforms, not on the ground.

In some circumstances you can glitch through the invisible barriers that stop you falling off and wander through the explorer area (I've never had this happen personally). It takes a GM to transport you back, no manual way to return.

[Melkazar]

No platforms in Shroud. You are thinking of something else.

Part 0: Waiting inside the gates. Have watched people try to jump off the sides and they can't.
Part 1: Kill portals, can fall, yes. About 10 feet to ground below.
Part 2: Maze, kill 4 red names, smash crystal. Never seen it, but I suppose maybe you can fall off the cliff after the barrier to the altar drops.
Part 3: Solve puzzles. Not really any place to fall unless you can fall off the sides after you can access to the altar.
Part 4: Fight the pit fiend among the whirling blades. Again, I guess maybe you can fall off the sides after you beat the pit fiend. Havent' seen it happen in the time I've been playing the game (since release) but I'm still seeing things I didn't know.
Part 5: Fight pit fiend, entirely closed area, can jump up to some spots and fall back to the main battleground.

So which part are you seeing people fall off in? That would help to narrow things down for an answer.

A clipping glitch? Interesting. Not something I've ever seen happen in 8 years, but now I'm tempted to see if I can make it happen.

[Bonulino]

It was early in the run. I don't remember if it was during Phase I or Phase II. But if there was some way to get up onto any of the raised areas (I will call them that to avoid the indigestion caused by the word platforms) the person who fell off could at least take portals to Phase V after the final defeat of Areatrikos and get their loot.

[General_Gronker]

Sounds like that would have to be that glitch that Chi is talking about. So it's doubtful that there are ladders since you aren't supposed to be able to fall off. So my advice if you see it happen again is to tell the person to put in a ticket.

Actually, folks reading, would the /stuck command fix it?

As long as you don't move before you type in the command.

You can actually run around the side of the platform in phase 1 and down to the open area below. However, when you get down there, you can't get back up.

I've seen a few. They're rare, but SPECTACULARLY annoying when they do happen. Try having your soulstone and corpse get stuck inside the wall in Crucible. Bleh.

[sirgog]

I don't know if it still works, but there has been a way to jump from the top of the resurrection shrine after part 4 with an effect like Cannith boots and jump over the invisible walls and down into the landscape below.

It's worth seeing once.

There has also been a way to get outside House J via similar jumping shenanigans, and that didn't require boots.

Yep been playing 8+ years and played shroud when it was first released and never seen it happen.

As previously mentioned in this thread, one surefire way to make it happen is to head down the path just North East of the shrines and Portal of the Waning Moons after completing phase 1.

happened to me, autoran to the first set of chests and ran up against an invisible wall to the left and fell through, ended up in the bottom, needed to talk to an gm for 20 min to get back

Yeah not saying it doesn't was just surprised to see it here as I have never dealt with it.

Well either way easy fix is just make it insta kill you and port to whatever point. Anyone falling off the edge should be killed anyways =)

Did you try /stuck first?

[lyrecono]

of course, it send me back halfway up the slope, the last point ddo remembers me being while i was afk autorunning towards the shrine&chests

In the first part of the Shroud, after the portals are closed and you are at the shines, you can fall off the platform. I've seen it happen a few times. Most people I've been with when it happens have said that there is no way back up. One of my guildies proved that wrong. Apparently you can climb back up to the platform if you have a good jump and a lot of patience. I don't know where he climbed or how he did it. We were in part 3 I think when he said "I'm Up."

Makes me wasn't to solo part one and jump off the platform to see.
