    Caution: Swimming has changed

    Although I would still rather drown then have the Volge dance around my skull, you can no longer swim indefinitely. Which can be a problem as many of the 'shores' are cliffs that come down to the sea and are unclimable.

    Although if they are going to do that, swimming should become a skill.

    Recently the volge dynamic events have been piling up,and it's been a real bother. If we cant swim,what will we do about the damn volge roadblocks near the cliffs?

    It always annoys me. I love to swim and explore the coast, but I was teleported to the extraction point.



    Let us swim!!

    I don’t need your help now,
    You will let me down, down, down!

    Absolutely. At the very least, you ought to get better at it. When I had marine biology in HS (I took it twice) we had more the enough time in the tide pools. We ended up swimming and swimming, eventually out to the bouys. That's well, far. Probably much farther then we should have gone, since you have to have enough energy to swim BACK.

    AND as was mentioned, how are we going to avoid the volge roadblocks? Don't the volge have anything ELSE to do? I can't get anywhere without fast travel most of the time. Many of the roadblocks have an unscalable ridge on the other side and ocean on the other. Then when you die, you transport BACKWARDS of where you were going.

    However, squeaky wheel and all that. If you agree I suggest we all use the handy suggestions icon that is somewhere in our menus.

    Ran into that problem last night. 3 Volge roadblocks on the same patch of road and no way to get around them. I didn't want to fast travel because I was trying to get to an Arcfall.

    I almost always drive off-road. Roadblocks do not bother me. Unlike the limitations for swimming ...

    whats new? some places you can swim and others fade to black and put you at a safe spot. it has always been like this.

    Yep - always been like this.
    It's quite arbitrary.

    With the roadblocks, just go off road around them.
    Yet to come across a roadblock I couldn't boost up the cliff around the block.
    Useful trick for the dodge challenger races too.

    It may be but I swam A LOT before this and never blacked out. I swam around entire headlands. But I will experiment and see if it lets me live anywhere.

    And when I blacked out and it put me in a 'safe' place, it was back behind the volge blockade I was trying to get around. Not so safe then.

    Sadly I have been in a Volge roadblock where the choice was an unscalable cliff on one side and ocean on the other. And if you are lucky enough to get past.. they follow you.
