Drowning

I'd like to suggest turning this off. It hinders the rp of us water-breathing species, such as Arik or myself. Plus it'd save a lot of unwanted deaths anyway. On a map this large, stinks to have to run all the way back.

Not to mention the standard issue re-breather that most all Jedi ((see obi wan and qui gon)) have.

There are many places in the Atlantia map where, if you fall into the water and do not have Jump 2 (for wall grip) you can't get out.

Drowning is the only way I can get out without Spectating.

Joining Spectate can be a pain because of the team-swap cool down. Plus it erases your score (for those who like to keep track!)

Vantus..its possible to do a cartwheel out of the water...Lame I know, but its possible...I agree with Syrnea though...It does ruin some RP aspects.

Uh, Syrena, Arik doesn't breathe water, he holds his breath for 8-10 hours.

:D

Whatever Arik, its the same for me. Either way, the point is, it would help the RP of species like us, as well as preventing chat-related drowing, or people who lagg or ping out for a bit from drowning. As far as getting stuck, if death is the only option out, you can just /kill.

Funny story is the other day while trying and testing things out on you alls server I had jumped in the water outside the temple to see what it was like then i had come to find out when i was ready to get out I couldnt even do so with the lack of having no force at all so i couldnt even jump onto the staircase on the side leading out of the water at all so i was force to drown myself to death in order to get out of the lake. ;)


Edit: Also Moza as far as i know you cant do cartwheels without a saber or higher force jump. Though seeing as this is my first time playing in this mod i could see how i wouldnt know any other way and to the person that said just do slash kill if other means didnt work isnt that alittle outside of the IC RP? ;)

I'm down with syrena's idea, us humans will just have to rp holding our breath.

There is a way out of the water on Atlantica, just get on the part where you can run, jump up on the walkway, and ledgegrab it. Climb up. I'll gladly show anyone who wants to see it for themselves.

Yes, I would very much like to see that sometime. As clumsy as Simus is he has fallen into the water many times and has gotten stuck and I have had difficulty getting him out without troubling a Knight or killing him. So if you could show me sometime that would be great. Thanks!!!

In extreem situations like getting stuck, you could always join spectate and back in game again, so you wouldn't break the RP for everyone else just because of that inconvenience.

Else than that I think everyone should be careful not getting stuck, I find illogical how sometimes younglings just 'throw themselves' out of a landing pad and still RP it.

If you have it, add me on Xfire, so I know when to be on the server to show it.
