Uc elevator

Pls fix just lost my highest bc character to this stupid bug

This is probably the oldest bug ever in Classic, they’re not going to fix this.

There’s even a literal mountain of corpses down here!

Maybe stand in the middle of the elevator instead of right up against the door?

No I was running into the elevator and it just dropped out from under me. I would have been fine but I hesitated before going in

simply dont do that. walk up to door, wait for door to close. wait for it to open. WALK in, dont JUMP.

there is a chance of 1:100000 that the door will lag and shut on you immediately but the approach outlined above usually makes that failsafe as well

Basically why I always use the tunnel but I turned around thinking I’d forgotten something

Always have a limited invuln pot on a quick bind at all times. Even if costs all of your gold you should always have one.

Can you logout with a command when you are falling?

Wouldn’t you still die takes a few to disappear right

Just time it properly. Theres a couple seconds grace - wait for it to snap open the move immediately. If you see it open as you approach, stop at the door and do not move further.

Its not a bug, its the mechanic of the elevator XD

Unless it just opens, Wait for it to do its route.

EVEN if it opens. Stop at the door and wait for it to close and it go down and up again. As it opens go in and stand on the middle of the platform. No forward running with head against the wall, the shaft has bumps and one may snatch you off the platform or you may slip beneath it. Once elevator stopped moving - go out, not before that no jumps at the last moment.

I’ve been playing since 2005 and have never died in the UC lift, in fact on any ingame lift. What are you people doing to die there? The only thing I can think of is standing right at the edge up against the wall, maybe with autorun active. Would you do that in a real lift?

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!

On purpose yes……Ragnaros it was.

First of all its completly avoidable by simply no being greedy. IF you take your time you cant ever fall but some people just have to jump on and off to save 10 seconds and lose chars becouse of it. Blizzard should kept it just to punish rushers.

Because video game companies should punish people who play in a way you don’t approve of.

Damn I saw ragnaros ding a day or two ago.

To be fair it doesn’t make sense to play undead in HC :smiley:
