New Swimming Formula

Post by TeckXKnight »

So I'm wondering if anyone has worked out the new formula for stamina loss with the swimming system of w4? I know it doesn't absolutely destroy newbies the second they touch the water anymore so it has to have been tweaked.

Not sure. I'd heard said a CON of 40 is enough to get you across an average river, though.

That's overkill, I have newbies crossing decently sized rivers with 30 con and losing only 50% stam. Can't measure it accurately though, though I might be able to find some brave ones willing to help me test it.

well "a river" isn't really a precise measurement, but at 40 con i got a little worried before i made it to the other side.

I realized that too moments after posting so I took measurements of the nearby rivers. 17 tiles wide. Newbies with 36 con report a 44% stamina loss after 10 tiles, but that doesn't accurately measure integral coordinates.

Edit: 12 Tiles lead to a 52% stamina loss at 36 con. I'm so glad people let me abuse them and risk their lives in the name of science. Seems Very consistent, at 36 con you're losing 4% stamina per tile, so about 0.36 Stamina per integral coordinate?

Ya, final confirmation for 36 Con, 17 tiles, 68% Stamina loss. If anyone else can give me numbers, that would be greatly appreciated.

Give it a try, you cross the river, give TeckX his numbers: PROFIT
Lag while you're in the middle of the river: eeeeerrrrrrrr.... you know what I mean :)
