Water

[MacXXcaM]

Did we see any yet?

Is forgelight currently not able to render water or is it just not beautiful enough to show yet?

Really wondering...

No, the there no water on Indar.

Yes, but obviously it's surrounded by an ocean. In one TB preview you could actually see beyond the landmasses but it didn't look like water.

Aye, I should have expanded further that it is out of bounds for players, unless Higby changes his mind. :)

There's a lovely sparkly scottish highlands themed stream, with a massive waterfall in the background, in one of the last pieces of concept art released...

So maybe we'll get some tasty water based vistas on the other continents :)

They mention in a couple videos that the V.S. Hover tank can hover over water, so that being said, though assumptions are dangerous, I would like to assume that yes there will be larger bodies of water somewhere throughout the game.

There is no water in deserts.

There is water on the outer edges but we haven't seen it close up yet. They had boundaries up when I went out to SD.

Can't wait to see the creativity of the art directors of PS2 with respect to the continent designs. Water has huge strategic implementations and I hope they take advantage of it.

Adding boats might not be a bad idea as well.

They mentioned how magriders will be able to suprise people guarding bridges by howering around them, I would assume that there will be at least rivers, if not lakes and swamps.
