Character asphyxiated from being stuck in the water

[colibre]

I jumped off the cliff close to the cave entrance on one side and cliff on the other side.
I didn't have swimming enabled after jumping off the cliff, and couldn't move.
I wanted to enter the cave, so I enabled swimming. I started swimming, but I couldn't move an inch.
I tried getting out of the water and over the cliff, or turning off swimming again, but to no avail.
I was stuck in place, running out of stamina.
Eventually, my character drowned.
I know it's probably impossible to bring the character back, but I would like to ask of you to do so.
This is honestly a last ditch attempt to continue playing the game.

Did you at least make a screenshot?

[colibre]

Sorry, I was too panicked to remember to do that.

Sorry for your loss, while it is unfortunate you lost your character the devs stand by that they will never restore characters over losses as the game is in eternal alpha.

You may, however, find that purchasing a subscription and verifying your account here will help you get back to the point of where your character was quicker. Additionally, purchasing a hat (or two, or three) will be able to help out that grief deep in your heart. Finally, if you're looking to also regain some of the lost gear, you may also purchase subscription tokens and sell them to the overpriced fairly priced merchants in-game for an additional boost to help kick-start your new character!

See you in W13, then.
Not gonna support a game that calls itself an eternal alpha, sorry. Thanks for enlightening me.

1. No character bringing back. In much more worse scenarios where player wasn't even involved in their character death, weren't undo. (And here You did something not smart)
2. Eternal alpha.
3. Well, because of no 2., we won't see You around I guess.
4. See You W13

It's called that since you joined ...

Just inherit, you'll spawn back at your hf with some skills and can probably still get your body back. What's the big deal?

What's the big deal?

Shitty mechanic that still exists because some gnomes did not fix it?

[vatas]

I have faint memory of this being a problem couple of worlds back but not in w10 or w11. Maybe they messed up something with the map generator this time around?

Also if you want to be really careful not to have this happen to you, you can hold SHIFT while clicking cave to peek out of it instead of going through blindly.

I'd like to see dev response to this, even if it's just "we messed up and can't figure easy way to fix it."
