Scuba Mask Useless?

[SnowManSam]

I have been fiddling with the scuba gear and have found out when you take the mask off with an oxygen tank, I can still breathe underwater without it. Is it supposed to just be a visual item or is this a bug because it says that it allows breathing underwater if there is oxygen in the tank.

I also found out that when you apply a skin to the scuba mask it ends up removing the dyes once attached. When I removed the skin the dyes were reapplied but once I repeated the process the dyes were completely removed.

P.S. I demand a full refund for my 4 black dye.

I think the mask makes seeing underwater clearer too.

The mask isn't intended to breath, only the tank is. The mask lets you see _MASSIVELY_ farther underwater. The tank is gonna get a weightsuit-torso and breather added to it soon so that it connects to the face, but the goggles will remain separate.

Cheers,

^^ This, i'd guess the mask isn't nesseccary as it isn't what makes the scuba gear work in real life as the rebreather is a seperate part and can be taken off without taking off the goggles.

Thank you for the clarification.

scuba gear is a good thing, but what about those of us that specced for oil and pearl farming before the gear?
will we get a one time o2 reset?
hijack not intended, just figured this thread is about scuba and saw dev response.

Might still be relevant.. If the Devs allow scuba tanks to be shot off backs. ;)

It's no problem and I would probably guess that we will get an o2 reset if they ever decide to add in a respec system.

i quit pvp around lvl 40 and went strictly pve so i don't have to rebuild every day after being pvo'd.

Hey devs could you make that my scuba mask will not be dependent on weather. When there is fog, and im underwater i see fog with my mask. Need fix, because i couldn't see with the mask a that time.

That is happening without the mask as well. The fog effect goes everywhere so its not a scuba issue.

When mounted, the scuba mask effect doesn't work so I'm hoping they patch that too.

but thats the problem...ive never seen fog in the rain...let alone under water...just something they have to fix...and apparently its not a high priority right now....oh well

@Drake

Will you be changing the fact that I need to learn the Fabricator engram to craft the scuba gear and compound bow? None if the other weapons/wearables have that restriction.

Makes it harder for Tribes who have people learn certain types of engrams.

I think it's neat how you can see clear with the mask on but I don't use it. The tunnel vision drives me insane. I'd rather a full face tank mask :)
