Drag in water.

Please let us drag objects while swimming so we can collect bodies floating in water without a boat.

Requires objects controlling objects, impossible with current engine

So in other words we can't drag animals, wagons, or carts behind us? ;)

I kid on that, but given what we have in game, it's a reasonable request.

What Fostik refers to, if you're not aware, is a planned future update that will change the way the world and the avatars interact with each other. With that update, things like this should be much easier to implement, if not immediately available due to the nature of the technology.
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

OcO is, as far as I got it, needed to allow objects to move on other objects by giving the coordinate system of the latter the ability to translate (move, rotate) the reference point of the coordinate system of the controlled former, basically it'll allow maps (moving or not) to be in other maps and to transition between them. This would allow things like a character walking on a Knarr, on the top of a Stone Tower or Walls (or even Bridges) - potentially also to remove the pocket worlds currently needed to implement houses.

Pulling something in the water shouldn't need that, and OcO wouldn't make sense, as the pulled object isn't moving on its own anymore (by definition).

like the idea

OCO means that you could controll obcject while its in another object, for example moving on the deck of knarr, or walking on top of stone tower,

this mechanics would be more like pullign cart, might require rope, i generally love it, it is annoing when you need to get angler out the water and dont have boat
