    Does it dissipate as it travels so the wave is gone when it reaches the shore?
    It dissipates before it hits the shore

    That's fucking awesome, hope some game developers take notice, always hated ocean shores with no waves. I tip my hat to you Blizzard.

    It also goes right through object in the water, so any rock, boat ect are all just overtaken by it. The larger rocks look goofy with a wave magically going through it.

    Indeed! A little off topic but most of the dinosaurs on the island are tameable, even the triceratops! The only ones I found not to be tameable were the flying ones

    It's essentially nothing more than a particle effect, but it does look good. Perhaps in the future we'll see the 'real' deal, though.

    If they can add waves like this and get them working properly with their shader tech, then it's not out of the realms of possibility that we might see more dynamic seas elsewhere in the world. Of course, it'd be even better if they could make the waves split when they hit rocks, or make players and objects "float" on top of them, but that's probably asking a little too much. Again, it could just be an animation on that area of the water.
    Yeah the animation just kept playing over and over in the same patch of water still a step forward
