World Fixing Boats/removing The Mana Regen. Debuff When In Water (20+ Supporters)

In the Gavel update, in order to promote the usage of boats, they decided to slow down Mana Regeneration when in water. However, there's one fatal flaw with this plan: Boats are broken. A lot of people who have tried boating from Wynn to Gavel has most likely experienced a lot of loading errors, rollbacks, and just straight up falling into the void when the next area of ocean doesn't load fast enough. Before punishing us for not using a certain mechanic, make sure the mechanic you're punishing us for not using actually works.

But that's just the transportation aspect. Water slowing down Mana Regen is also extremely inconvenient when just playing. Water is highly abundant in both provinces, and when you get knocked into water or are doing a quest which involves a lot of water, you're at an automatic disadvantage. Water, for how much there is of it, is essentially a hazard now as there's a chance you can die just from being in water because you can't use spells to defend yourself or to escape because it regens so slowly.

So if you want people to actually use boats, make sure they work. That way, people will use them and you'll have no need to add in such an unnecessary hazard.

Thank you

 

Yep, @SpadeZ1 @TheFireFox @~~ and I can all personally attest to just how frustrating it was trying to get to Gavel on just one class, let alone the fact that each class has to get to the door once for access to the rest of Gavel. It took us at least... What... 20 minutes or so? More?

 

More than 20 minutes for some, Seeing as you were the first to get there after all.
I dunno about the others, and it may be just my comp, but the amount of times I was set back, or just straight-up glitched out on boats was too high to be fun.
Tbh, the trip was worth it because... Gavel- but for new players who don't have that DETERMINATION I can see that would be an issue. I feel like if ever an update rolls around that makes boats less buggy it would be alright- but uh, I feel like that won't happen very soon, as it's not really a problem that can be "fixed"- er... boats I mean.

 

Boats have always been a problem, even in Ye Olde Wynn (The few months before Gavel's release when nobody really played). This is mainly caused by the lag, but in Ye Olde Wynn, I'd find that occasionally, my "Server Player" (as represented by my particle effect) would be further ahead than my "Client Player", and I'd eventually get teleported to it. The chunk loading is a problem exclusive to the lag, however, and has always been a problem.

 

I added a poll. So make sure to vote please!

 

Can You make a Kinda option? I kinda agree with this but maybe they should just do it so if you were in water for a certain time, like 30 min you would get debuffed? That way you still want to avoid water and use boats but if you get knocked into water you have some time to get out.

 

1. Who stays in the water for 30 minutes?
2. The whole point is that water shouldn't be avoided at all. Having any sort of punishment for being in the water too long other than drowning is just illogical to me.
3. Yeah, sure. I'll add a "Kinda" option, although not getting a straight answer is basically the same as no answer at all.

 

I agree that the water debuff is a bit harsh. But Im going to take everything with a grain of salt these next few months, seeing as Gavel is only just getting to its feet.

 

though tff yelling in chat was pretty funny
but yeah support blah blah

 

I'm still mentally scarred by what i had to go through to get across the ocean.


Salted, you'll be hearing from my lawyer. (jk dont hurt me)

 

I ment 30 seconds lol.Wups

 

I walked. Along the landwall. For 25 minutes.

 

There's one vital little fact you're all missing. You can literally walk around the ocean, on the border wall. Personally, I just grab out my *almost* fully trained black horse (trading it from class to class with the bank) and ride along the wall, using the jump to get over rough patches.
-And don't even think about complaining that this comment is irrelevant because you get lag, so that you can't use a horse. If you can't use a horse, walk. There's literally no issue.

________________________________

Oh, fail. I missed "The One-eyed Guy"'s response about walking along the land wall..* Sorry about that!

 

I, personally, for some strange reason, have never really experienced the slower mana regen in water, but I do think that boats should be fixed regardless.

 

For me, the boats just wouldn't spawn when I placed them down. I almost lost a whole stack of emeralds before I realized what was happening (not very much) xD

 

The fact that walking around the ocean is even a viable option for people just proves my point further :)

 

Well, fair enough :P

 

"DETERMINATION," hmm... that seems familiar....

But seriously, I have had this problem to such an extent, I have only visited gavel once, and after leaving, I am not going back until they either fix boats or add a scroll in gavel.

 

They cant fix boats. Boats r broken cuz mojang

 

.. They did add scrolls, didn't they? I could have sworn..
