How will travelling the seas work?
Hey everyone, I'm not sure that I'm posting this in the right forum. I'm curious about how travelling by sea will work, will there be islands that can only be reached if you have a boat; will it therein only be reachable by a player crafting a boat or will there be NPC boats travelling this route?
I find the thought exciting that say if you had a raid scedhuled with your guild, and you happened to be stuck out on an island, that you'd have to try and communicate with another player who owns a boat in order to get back, and/or possibly plan for this by travelling towards the raid area with a good margin of time. Will storms affect travels? will there be seamonsters that can attack your boat? There are so many cool things you can do with boats and ocean content, I hope you explore this. I feel that a big part of adventuring is when things don't go the way you planned, and I hope you're thinking of that too!

Other specifics we don't know yet but I can imagine the ocean will be a world in itself There will be coves and secret underwater entrances to the Underrealm. There will be plants and things to harvest etc xD
i can't wait to see what dangers hide in the oceans xD
It basically means that it's not so in depth that each person on the boat is doing an actual task like to make it move but simply you'll have boat owner moving the ship.
There will be like things to make it look like your all controlling the ship like raising sails ^^
I'm not a boat expert I only know sails make a ship move but people were asking if it would be more in depth but it would be difficult to actually do that and allow smooth gameplay xD
What I think Steven is talking about is using kinematic physics to to simulate ship motion and interaction between ships rather than fully simulated physics.
