Ausar.9542 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 With this new gameplay element known as Skiffs, I wonder if there will be some dangerous aspect to the gameplay while using it in the world or in dungeons. Can we fight from the Skiff if need to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Fereta.5970 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I think you can use it as a land platform on water so I think technically u can fight on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scavarius.6059 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 considdering the mastrys we know i'd say the skiff can actually sink. i for one will try my best to beach at least once on every map :V 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega.6801 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 How should we know? Seing that the skiff can be used as a platform, I'm sure you can use your weapon skills while standing on them. How useful this will be, again, how should we know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I assume it will be similar to mounts - you won't be expected to fight while sailing, but you could be attacked if you get close enough to enemies and I assume enough attacks will 'dismount' you (so you can't be invincible). From what I've seen it looks like when it's being used as a platform players can move around normally, I can't remember seeing anyone fighting or using skills while standing on a boat but it seems likely it will be possible, but then it'll be like fighting anywhere else on land. Maybe they'll add to that later on, like adding a cannon to the boat, but I haven't seen anything like that so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be getting an upgrade for the boats that drops an AoE and 'sinks' nearby enemies as well as one that temporary increases the HP of the boat, which seems to imply that things in the water will attack and eventually dismount players skiffing about. Pity we didn't get a skiff beta; I'd like to know more about what you can and can't do with them since they're being billed as a major feature. Fighting from the boat while it's anchored (battle platform) is something I've seen speculated about quite a bit. But, as with most things EoD-related, we're just going to have to wait to know for sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m super curious to see how the jumping sharks in around Sandswept Isle will interact with the skiffs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcShriek.5829 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Maybe you'll get sunburn. I hope there's a cooler on the skiff for my beer. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't want to tip a grill full of hot coals over by diving off the diving board. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcatraznc.3869 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 If the skiff serve as a moving plateform, then I suppose you can use them to fight. We know other player in your party can also enjoy your skiff (aka get on board and use it as a plateform) but I'm curious to see if the owner of the skiff can move around without dropping the second player standing on the skiff. You would technically create some kind of naval battle with one ranger using his bow to shoot at other monster while the second person pilot the skiff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like with mounts and gliders, they won't be useable in dungeons. If you were talking about instanced content in general, I predict that it will not be useable in previous story missions, raids, strikes, fractals, or dungeons. Perhaps they will make it available in EoD missions and other future instanced content, but we don't know yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
