So much fun! Right?

Waiting for boats is still a good idea!

Having experienced the Dev's handiwork, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a game mechanic that makes the boat suddenly turn to rubble while you're on it, impaling you with hundreds of splinters as you drown.

harsh but fair

watch them add some sort of boat decay, LOL

watch them add some sort of boat decay which winds up like thorns and deals 1,000,000 points of damage in the middle of the first boat's maiden voyage, LOL

Phiksed

man decay can be pretty irritating sometimes im glad it doesnt happen to roads like certain idiots suggested

Personally I think the devs should bump up the priority on fixing retardedly dangerous swimming. Almost made me quit the first time it happened.

On my first char I found myself thinking there was hardly any place I could travel, between the owned land and rivers. So I saw swimming and was like, "That's it! I can finally escape this damn trap of a starting area." My character probably made it 2 pixels into the dark blue river before dying.

Either your character needs to tell you, "Hey stupid, I'm not that good a swimmer yet" or you need some form of rated risk assessment (click across the river and you're prompted "33% chance of making it across. Continue? Yes/no."), or swimming needs to not be horribly lethal.

Let's just be happy because they haven't implemented Russalkas yet.

Demon zombie carp?

I'll be disappointed if boats won't be added together with sea monsters.

All this talk of boats makes me wonder how it'll work with claims over rivers..
