Here is a question for everyone...
What happens to YOU if you try to cross underwater while dragging a disk?
For me, the disk auto un-equips and is left grounded at the waters edge. Now, I fully thought this was how it was supposed to work. However, I see a few players that seem to be able to drag their disk not only underwater, but also don't seem slowed down any by the water.
I know there was a way to completely turn off water in game, and the effect was that since water didn't exist for you, you would not slow down, nor drown.
Some claim that they just have game bugs that let them not drown or auto un-equip the disk they are dragging, and perhaps this is true. But I would LOVE to have an official comment from the devs about this issue.
When few if any bridges were built, I can see why disallowing "water-walking" took place and even some folks were banned. However, now all water does is look nice and slow down our movement from one area to another.
So devs...
If you DON'T care if players turn off water, please say so.
( however if you don't care EXPECT most to turn it off and roam freely )
If you DO care if players turn off water, Again please say so.
( if you do care, please do something about it. )
