I think this was "fixed", the other day I tried to do some maneuvers with my rogue and glider and fell into the abyss, when I came back close my body was on the ground at the edge.And another thing, does anyone still need this? I already bought all the upgrades and put the best conduits on the 226. I have about 14k of that stopped by now.
No, this is stupid. This is absolutely not working as intended, because the mechanic of "run back to your corpse to retrieve currency" is clearly taken from Dark Souls, and in Dark Souls your souls DO actually stay on the edge when you fall off, just like corpses stay on the edge in WoW. So this isn't working as intended, at least if you consider the original roots of that mechanic. This is clearly either a bug, or a bad decision, and NEEDS to be fixed.
I like how half the thread is people naming other games when the original post quite clearly said THIS GAME.
This is still a thing in even 9.2. While doing the Korthia mob Assault Supply Carriage / Carriage Crusher, the NPC pulled me under the terrain somehow. I could see the layer above me where other players and the NPC were fighting. While I was stuck here, I DC'd and when I re-logged I had died there, and when I managed to come back, my corpse was unclickable even though I'm standing right on top of it, according to the map. So frustrating.
