[Devs] Shirogane & Mist Beach Are Too Small

[DamianFatale]

Can we please have the swimable area expanded a little farther out? It feels a bit too restrictive.

[Steady]

I think both are larger than the Goblet and Lavender Beds area. While I get that those locales are on the sea, I feel like there'd need to be something in the other zones to offset. Maybe let Lavender beds folks climb trees and use ziplines... and let the goblet folks rock climb?

[SilverObi]

The actual swimming area the Goblet is very small, we should be able to swim in each body of water in the zone since it's not even very deep :P

This sounds very similar to the harping my LS was doing before they added swimming to housing areas "Logically Mist should be the only one to get swimming." And once that didn't happen, people started saying they should have more area than the others. Yes it's a literal ocean but exactly what would you do with an empty stretch of sea that you can't do with the area you got now?

[Theodric]

They're fairly large. In Mist's case even before swimming was added it was possible to run quite far out into the ocean - which was one of the reasons that served to make it so appealing in the first place.

What they really need is underwater swimming imo

I can get behind this. More underwater areas in general would be nice. Hopefully they add some to older zones in time, at least small sections so it's not terribly divisive of resources

So much this.

The Shirogane swimming area is quite large.

The Shirogane swimming area is quite large.

It’s not though. It may have a large area around the island, but not away from the Island. It feels like a half baked costa del sol.

[Spirlia]

It only feels restrictive because it's a vast, virtually endless ocean. Even if they extended it more , it would feel tiny.

I do agree with creating underwater areas. If they extended it an additional amount, say the same distance we have now, and make it underwater, it would feel better. Then we would have father out to swim above and underwater.

I also think they should put some anti-jellyfish nets in Mist and Shirogane. Then at least we wouldn't be hitting an invisible wall, and there would be a visible endpoint.
