Bring back the glory of boats.

Boats need to have fakerolling.as to them and they need to not have decay on land.

 

Well, people have different tastes and such, i find satisfying jumping into an enemy ship with some buddies, kill the tripulation and take it over. also, these "boat wars" involve some teamfights, which are really cool.

in few words, taking a breath from regular "slash, shield, slash back" fights in ground is good from time to time.

 

Ya but that's why I play archer and not knight.

 

they changed swimming in early beta to (dont quote me on this as i completely forget) something akin to either you would drown almost instantly and sink or you had a few seconds of sink. this was also the time when water-ocean maps were the norm. i almost quit playing for a while due to how shit it made any sort of combat.

boat combat has never been all that fun besides in early beta, where it was usually a pretty organized rowing effort with mounted catas / ballistas to reckd enemy walls, along with bomb bouncing to snipe over boats.

 

I am thinking that water could be like in Terraria where you can still jump when at the bottom but not swim. This would make small pools of water not be immensely frustrating. If this is the solution that will be integrated I would also buff Shield surfing so you can get a little bit further. And maps should be modified to not be 100 billion meters deep.

 

I love this idea. It would also open up options for new types of boats. As long as it doesn't get annoying. I do like the idea of limited swimming for when you get knocked off one of the boats or something.

 

I think it was with @Aurora-, but there was this one game on TTH where there was this giant pool of water. Both teams piled up boat boxes at the shore, and we literally just Age of War-ed it, and marched two ships out, then had a battle until one was captured or destroyed. Then both teams would ride another ship out and do the exact same thing. One of the best KAG games I've ever played, and I would really love to have more of that.
