[Suggestion] No Waves While Travelling Through Fog/World Edge

[Zillvr]

I did a search on Fog and/or World Edge and nothing came up on my end. So I'm posting my suggestion instead. I don't know about everyone else, but I use the World Edge Travel feature frequently because I have a base island and a resource island that are both on opposite sides of the map. 

 

So anyway, whenever you travel through the fog you have automatic movement and within those moments that you aren't controlling your character's ship movement, there is always a chance that the ship will inevitably get hit by at least 1-2 waves as you come out of the fog. Since moving into and moving out of the fog is all automatic, you have no power or control on whether your ship get's hit by a wave as soon as you arrive on the other side.

 

Counter-debate on it, if this was intended then the whole getting hit by waves as you move in and out of the fog is the price you have to pay to use the fog at all. I'm ok with that, if it is. The way I see it, since in a fog you can't see that far ahead of you, so the character moves automatically, regardless of any incoming waves.

 

My suggestion though, as your character comes out of the fog, no waves should spawn yet. Then wave spawn should resume upon regaining control of your ship again. That way you have at least a fraction of a second to move away, and it's all on the player whether they get hit or not. I want to be able to say it's my fault when I get hit by waves and that I deserve to get soaked to the skin.

 

Well that's all, I hope that makes sense, cheers.

Well, this could be seen as the danger of sailing through a dense fog... The sanity loss is not huge, so a bit of wetness seems like an ok malus imo
