My character drowned, please change swimming!

[BenHa]

Rivers are meant as terrain barriers. I think we've been pretty clear about the dangers of them.

I knew that and read that before. But how could I manage not to die when my char ran into the river due to a lag. This isn't really fair right?

Hope you can do anything there...

I've got 54 constitution, and I've yet to meet a river I couldn't swim across. Got close one time, crossing at 14% remaining, but that was a reasonably wide river. New players should, of course, stay away from the rivers, but anyone who's played for a couple weeks should have the ~40 con needed to swim an average river.

Stop complaining and eat some bread.

you see how many guys die by rivers. that mean u dont have pretty clear about the dangers of them.

[Rift]

or that no one listens or heeds warnings even if they are clear about them.

Raise swimming cost to 20k and no1 will die.

This!
an Ingame waring would be nice. like if u reach the point where u can't walk anymore, but have to swim, there could come a popup like "sure u wanne go swimming? You can easly die if u don't have the eyperience" or something like this

Or like already said be4 make the skill alot more expensive

I take it you haven't been paying any attention to the forums, then?

Ironically, you cannot drown unless you are able to swim.

[Jackard]

Let me repeat myself: don't buy swimming as it currently exists!

The devs are planning to implement boats and might even add one of the suggested safeguards, such as a swim toggle or being washed downriver. And won't your early adopting look foolish then?

don't get swimming and die like me i was walking next to river and because of the lagg i walked in and die now i need to start over -_-"
