i dont know if we get any swimming bonuses but it deosnt seem like we do.... i think we should be able to swim faster and also how many of u hit the run hot key only to have to cross water to become instantly tired and have to wait again for the run to regen????

FWIW, Jedi can (could, at one time, at least) force run through the water and retain thier speed. I was humorous to watch them force swim. I wouldn't mind the idea of us, or anyone, being able to swim faster, OR slow down for the water, but regain our speed once we leave the water.

I kind of thought it would make sense for rangers and scouts to increase their swim speed too. Wouldn't that be part of terrain negotiation? In Anarchy Online you could spend points to jack up running speed and points for swimming speed. I'd like to see this implemented, but it's also not top of my list for things I think the Devs need to do.

Right.
It makes sense, it would be useful, but its a low priority perk atm.

For those who were in beta 3. We dont want them messing with the swim speeds. Thats bad. Epecially pre-mounts and vehicles it would take 5-10 minutes to cross a small river.

If you burst run into river it usually warps you back (so they lie when they say you cannot enter the same river twice :tongue
Less so recently but it still happens. It would be cool to be warped forward instead...

Mon Cals should get swimming bonuses. I mean they are fish
And leezards should get an armor bonus 
. I remember the species discussions on the Core concepts (?) baord, and those were kinda fun . Here are my quick, off-topic thoughts...
- Wookiee - faster regen
- Dosh - Armor Rating +1 greater than armor use (maybe a bonus to kinetic protection)
- Bothans - Punch Bowl Floaties, or a leash
- Mon Cals - Swimming bonus (speed) and/or regen more quickly in water.

The problem is, there is a trigger that when not standing (prone, sit, ect) that ends /burstrun. The game "thinks" you are prone when swimming. They will need to fix that (or make a workaraound).

I'll go for the floaties...if that means I get to remain "standing" in water and I can perform attacks while swimming.
That, or when a Bothan exits the water, all creatures/players around them recieve a stunned status affect, a huge mind pool drain and any aggro'd NPC's or creatures turn and run the other way (we Bothans smell BAD when wet)

Note that Humans should get the whole stunned NPC's on the beach if we come out of the water in our speedos (aka hawt pants). Since that will just about make anyone pass out.
So do CH's get to tame Bothans? And can a ranger use a shellfish harvesting tool to get a Mon Cal? Finally what do you get for a wookie at christmas?
