Breaking boats as act of murder

[Narski]

Please fix this stupid exploit. It is used my malicious individuals boat blocking and breaking boats hence drowning the victim. No chance and no combat initiated.. Please fix this dumb fucking exploit when your game takes hundreds of hours to get anywhere.

I mean, they can't make boats invincible, and even if they did they could still block you in and kill you in your boat, or block you in and kill you off your boat.

It's a shitty way to die but beyond implementing some strange ability to grab on to the side of a boat to prevent drowning I have no idea how they could fix it, and even with a fix like this it's still entirely possible for you to be killed.

Take it as a lesson, if you see people come near you while you are in a boat, always get yourself to shallow water just incase

Literally all they have to do is implement " You can't break boats inside a boat" , yeah if they hit me, atleast i get to fight for my life. And get knocked out in my boat and can hearth back to my hearthfire. You can't pick up a boat with someone in it, why the fuck can you break a boat with someone in it...

boat bashing and leech killing fall into the same kind of exploit. I *think* they removed leeching, at least testing it on an alt didn't seem to do anything although it let me put the leeches on.

Just make it so that rowboats leave 1 piece of driftwood when broken (similar to knarrs) and that if you're knocked out while on a boat that gets destroyed, you automatically are placed onto the driftwood.

Can't bash driftwood, but it should decay within minutes.

If people are willing to bash a boat, they're more than happy to watch someone for a couple minutes to block them into drowning.

Maybe KO the hearthling ontop of the driftwood to let the PvPers loot them and then force a hearth when the driftwood despawns? PvPers get loot, people don't die for simple mistakes they know nothing about.

I mean, if you aren't drowning, you can just hearth back?

If you're floating on driftwood that can't be bashed, then you hearth back if they aren't engaged in combat. If they knocked you out, then you can still hearth back while KO'd.

Either ways, you avoid people A. abusing breaking boats to murder without any scents at all and B. abusing breaking boats to KO someone and murder without murder scents.

Sevenless, i can't believe that hasn't been implemented in the 10 years this game has been in dev

[Massa]

it's been this way for a decade guy

[Sevenless]

Makes me wonder if any recently dropped into the water items should also pop up on driftwood when someone is KOed.

Always seemed weird how you could deny your items that way, but maybe there's some strange PvP meta around it I don't know.
