Heading to Bonemass. Realized we were surrounded by plains but noticed a small break in the land. Thought it might be a gap between two separate islands. I was wrong. By that point I had no choice but to rip through it at full sail and pray. I did not die for my mistake, and it was difficult to impress upon my friend just how lucky we were to not have been murdered.
I can’t tell you how many times I made that mistake… but was brutally murdered by stupid skeeters because apparently they can hear the sweet singing of my blood from across the ocean.
Plains?
Plains!!!
Go! Go! Go! We gotta get out of here NOW!
Sorry to chuckle, but yeah, we’ve all been in a similar situation. Glad you survived!
Something like this happened to me a week ago. I was headed to bone mass and one his island I ran aground onto the planes. I’m new to the game but I know the plains is no joke. So I started to backup and leave. A mosquito attacked! It went after the boat and did very little damage. Then I accidentally beached in the swamp and a fucking abomination came out of the ground along with a bunch of other enemies. I died. It was a long way… but I eventually recovered my shit after a long time.
I’ve lost track of how many times I have grounded my boat on the plains, in the fog, at night. Just merrily mapping a coastline and then “crunch”, now we’re scrambling to not die.
