Thread: "You have been incapacitated by misadventure"

My Guardian kept receiving the "You have been incapacitated by misadventure" in the acid wing in the Tower. However, I did not have any hits from rising acid in my combat log (yes, I rechecked the combat entries). I was jumping, running around, and still was taken out with two shots (from apparently nothing).

Anyone else experience this, or am I seemingly bugged.

Did you get killed by dread?

You can't be killed by dread. At 10 dread, your morale will be just 20% max. At 15 dread (which is virtually impossible) you will have 1% morale.

Might be lag-enhanced falling damage.

Falling damage in LOTRO is not determined by distance travelled but by time spent in the air. You can lag while jumping down a small step on the floor and if the lag time is long enough, you die from misadventure at the bottom of the 6 inch drop. (True, you can die in RL by tripping on the sidewalk and hitting your head, but most of in LOTRO are wearing protective gear.)

Just a guess, mind you, but if things were a bit laggy in Acid Wing, and your morale was reduced by some dread and maybe combat too, then this is a possibility.

Geysers?

My guess would be the geysers. Or the waterfall near the entrance where you drop down.

It is possible to be killed by dread in the tower. If your elf npc dies, you die from massive dread.
Also it is possible to be killed by the acid green water.

What tower are you talking about? Last time I checked there were no NPCs (other than mobs) in Orthanc.

Oh man. I was thinking of Balrog instance, not tower...sorry, my bad!

Miss Adventure will kill you if you keep Mr. Adventure out drinking too late.
