Summary0008012: Aqua Suit and Flippers Enchantment.
DescriptionAqua Suits may provide the player with damage resistance to water attacks and provide better mobility in large bodies of water. By allowing the player move normally as if water wasn't even there, he would also have better chances of survival combating and dodging monster attacks in the deep.

Flippers would give the player the ability to swim up and down through a wet environment alleviating the need to use platforms that just float up to the surface. Flippers would be a feet only enchant. The suit would be equipped like any other suit used for environmental situations. When combined, the player can do very well in ocean missions as if he or she was on land.

All this coupled with acid water Gills, this would make someone well prepared for ocean missions.

Good swimmer already does the first part. As for the second, vertical mobilit in water is intentionally limited -- I've written about this elsewhere.

I think you should reconsider your decision. Your oceans are particularly the most boring part of the game. Surely you can do better than this. Otherwise, they will continue to be the most boring part of the game. (I didn't even see underwater buildings either).

May have to refresh regularly. My input often changes like the tides.

"I think you should reconsider your decision. Your oceans are particularly the
most boring part of the game. Surely you can do better than this. Otherwise,
your just a terrible Developer."

I appreciate the feedback. I'm a terrible developer then.

Check the forums for the ways in which to move around in the ocean. But to summarize, since you clearly can't be bothered to look anything up and would prefer to waste my time making me repeat myself:

1. Good Swimmer already works exactly like you describe aqua suits.

2. The ability to swim would make oceans just feel like flying, only underwater. That's lame. Differentiating the gameplay more is much more interesting than just having the underwater segments be like flying.

3. That said, if you want the ability to swim, you can actually already do this using the boomstick enchant or storm fist to customize your enchants. If just makes it more like a water jetack, etc.
