Healing with Mud Ointment caused death

[Elden]

I'm not sure is it a bug or a feature, but searching gave nothing. It looks more like a bug to me.

The thing is that i've just performed some weird kind of seppuku with a mud ointment.
The charecter had 7 hhp ramaning and a "punch sore" wound of 53-ish. After applying the said ointment to it, i've died.

I guess what happened is that the game has added a "muddy perspectives" wound before subtracting from a "punch sore" value, thus causing hhp to go below zero for a moment.

A glorious death.

You got killed by rubbing your face with mud.

Wow, what a horrid way to die ... trying to heal yourself!

Seems like a bug to me ...

Wow that sucks

[broghk75]

hope it wasn't an established character

This really sucks. My understanding is that Jorb never resurrects people so there won't be precedent that encourages everybody who dies because of lag to beg for it. Even when one of the highest-statted characters of the servers was killed with clear bug-abuse, only thing Jorb did was give him one month of subscription which kind of was just adding insult to an injury (I would have probably given at least 1 year and considered life-time, but that would have given nasty precedent as well)

seems like adding damage from new wound is first process and removing damage from old wound is second process

I've died to leeches this way. They replace your wounds with leech burns, which eat your hitpoints, even though they were replacing the previous wounds. And this can knock you unconscious, which leads to a concussion. Which leads a further reduction in HP and another concussion... and eventually death.
RIP Onep I.
