Game Development: I'm on a boat, *and*...

[Vexlying]

My god, the swim drain is severe.

If you've played haven you should expect no less. Specifically it's a massive benefit to have insane phlegm during pvp escape times if you can cross a river they can't.

On that note... doesn't that mean KOing yourself on water = impossible to be stolen from / killed?

Need to be able to right click a KO'd player floating in water and drag them back to shore. Also increase the drain of phlegm while dragging someone to make it entertaining.

Not really, I expected it to be much harder, it's only like 1 phlegm per tile it seems and the higher your phlegm the less the drain.

It might seem so high to me because I was expecting it to be less noticeable than it is. I almost got KO'd with 56 P and I didn't even go far at all - I was just testing to see what the drain would be like. I didn't have any food with me though, for regen, so that'll help a little bit. I guess it makes sense too IRL you can only swim so far in deep water, plus that's what boats are for!

(drain still seems too high to me)

Would be cool to have a "life-guard" or something similar skill.

Time to start learning how to kill beavers properly now

I'm so glad that I already did that. Still have occasional issues with deer if I'm not paying enough attention though.

I'm curious as to how much of an effect boats are going to have here. In haven rivers and lakes were literally everywhere. Here they are significantly less common and can't realistically be used to get you everywhere you could want to go (from what I've seen of the map that is).

These boats are awesome, I can finally transfer lots of items across rivers without spending hours looking for shallow water.
Edit: I'm in that video below, I feel famous.

Swimming in Boston I got a very short video together from filming a few people in Boston, not everyone made it.

edit: Hardly famous, I only have a few subs, but i am glad I can make you smile .
