Hearts & water fights

[Lukas Bisket]

Ok, so i think waterfights...are the most annoying thing in the game. Especially map 4 with all the water. So i was thinking there could be a way, that you swim slower with lesser health. When fighting and someone has 5 hearts, and the other guy has 1 the guy with one heart goes slower in water. Saying on a scale from 1-10 10hearts is normal, 9 hearts swims 1/10th slower than full, and 8 hearts is 1/10ths slower than 9 hearts...and so on.

That would be kinda really unfair. dark, take it away!

How would it be unfair? You just don't jump into the water. Think about it, if you are hurt can you swim as well as someone unscathed?

I don't think the Survival Games should focus too much on realistic things, though. If we were to do that to water, people would want the same thing to happen with running and other things that don't need realism applied to. Personally, water fights arn't a big deal for me. I like to play with friends and if one has a fishing pole, the person is dead meat. If you arn't playing with friends, try to find a bow. Don't have a bow? Then don't deal with him. Chances are that if he is running into water, he isn't worth your time and there are other people who you can kill on land.

Actually, being realistic would be making the person being chased go faster, as in real life, more adrenelin flows through your body, therefore you will go faster. Just saying .

Ehh, I kinda meant being realistic in general, not just going slower. I guess I didn't explain that very well. My bad

I can see what you mean, but usually water fights aren't worth the effort. If you really wanted to kill him, just simply go to land and cut him off when he goes to land

I once chased a guy for 5-10 minutes in water, he killed me xD
i chased him to ruin his game, i dont normally chase people for that long

Protip: Never waste your time chasing people in water unless you know for a fact everyone else is in the water too. If someone is on land, you can get their stuff too, or you could get chests, no need to waste your time on someone who will take 5 times as long to kill with no chests on the way.

Making the game realistic is unnecessary, and making people with less health swim slower would just be annoying. What if I got corn and had two guys chase me from the start with fists? Should they kill me just because I can't get away? It really does make it so if you take the first hit, you're screwed. It causes more imbalance than balance in my opinion.

No man. Just no.

I think this is a decent idea, but it definitely needs more thought if it is to be brought in. Also, in this idea there should be slower whilst underwater. Just another suggestion.

I did that once. The first time I managed the Gift of Fluctus temple I spent the rest of the game fighting somebody in water. He had some chain armour and a stone sword, I had a chain helm of Respiration I and Protection II, some other armour and a stone axe. The entire game we fought until there were 4 people left. I died, he almost immediately said, "wtf, i spent the whole game killing someone" That was funny.
