water penalty won't go away

[cattoy]

I wandered into some water over my head and got out of the water. The walking in water penalty still slowed me down, even after leaving the water behind.

For several minutes.

Then I recalled and it still slowed me down. Not until I found a road did the slowness leave.

That needs to be looked into.

OH MY GODNESS![:|][8o|]

It's a PENALTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forblipping what!!?? Why are we being penalized!! We can't swim for blippy-blip!!!!
I died just after being FORCED to cross water in Kion to visit the Monk Trainer (Heasea) because she is located on a small island seperated by water.

Why the blippy would the designers place her on an island if they are just going to drown us for going to her or anybody seprated by water??

I don't understand, and I hate not understanding things. [:@]

This can also be worked around by using a quickstep potion or speed buff. Definately need to get fixed though, was only just introduced a patch or two ago.

It can be remedied by any alter in speed, positive or negative.

I find the easiest way to do this is to take off your boots and put 'em back on (provided you have 'em speed tech'd).

or they could simply add the ability to swim...

whoever thought it was ok to release the game without that mmo standard definitely wasn't in tune with the way things SHOULD be.

[Pharcellus]

or Sprint.

It isn't an "MMO standard", by the way.

This has been fixed internally and will go to Blight soon.

Sorry for my screaming. But I don't like dying. Yeah the death point vanishes eventually, but I just doin't like dying if I'm not in combat.

What gusi said is what I do. Quick fix that doesn't require me using an ability/spell - and yes it sucks thatI have to do even that. Thanks for getting it fixed Smeglor.
