Holy Champion Cloak of Water causing treading water status and then drowning indoors

Post by cat »

- Edgar Flume uttered words of deep power. With a deep and roaring rush, rain begins to cascade in great volume from the sky and great torrents of waters break forth from the ground, flooding the area. (2022-02-24 10:47:34).
- You step inside Han Shin Biogenetics Center. (2022-02-24 11:02:50).
(several ticks of "treading water" status effect)
- Your muscles eventually grow tired from treading water. You finally sink beneath the waves and drown! (2022-02-24 11:30:07).
Unsure if this is related to other movement status effects like Flying lingering.

Tagging onto this:

I'm in Morgue's faction, and I wasn't even present for the flooding (I was directly outside the building at the time).

However, when I stepped in, I was given the Treading Water status tick immediately, and died the next tick.

Shouldn't this be working as intended? Buildings that are flooded on the outside often end up flooded inside in real-life since the water seeps in, and if the inside of the building was completely submerged under water, you'd be trying to find the few pockets of air to breath.

depends, most buildings have multiple floors, and due to how air + pressure works completely removing all the air out of the upper portions tends to be quite difficult

but hypothetically even if it was capable of doing that, is 'hc breaks your ward and hits a button and you all die a few ticks later for a fac-wide 300+ ap respawn cost' really going to pan out well
