Westenev.5289 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Underwater combat is pretty hit and miss, so underwater combat tends to be avoided. Add to that, many core maps are fairly aged. Unless there is a daily or a farmable event, I imagine most seasoned players would ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CETheLucid.3964 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I notice most people haven't even geared themselves for underwater combat. That, or they're using the iron skins for A E S T H E T I C S.I can solo most underwater bosses so if I'm bored enough or I see another soul trying I'll do it or jump in. They're not particularly hard they just take a bit. A lot of people still play Rhendak's underwater mini-dungeon for the home instance treasure chest.You'll probably find some people playing/porting for the fight.https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Defeat_Rhendak_the_Crazed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8235E844-3CC1-4724-8B86-45 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Underwater boss fight in a raid has been screaming to be developed for years.... unfortunately as stated above new players often skip underwater gearing. No ones going to spend money on that (no underwater encounters worth it) and the ascended collections (breather, etc) are quite literally time sinks. Some people that don't use arc and log on together for 3 hours a week (anets 'target customer') may do underwater guild missions occasionally.

Ben K.6238 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I've got a character parked at Rhendak - it's almost always a solo fight. Not really a problem, I just use a character that can handle it.I think I'm up to 60 chalices right now without a ring. Not particularly concerned about that since I know the home instance node is going to be rubbish anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convet.2605 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 My guild will do every underwater boss we come across. We (almost) all generally enjoy underwater combat and think we may be the only underwater based guild in GW2 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samnang.1879 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 cuz underwater fighting is broke. many if not all HoT and PoF specs dont work well with Core tyria UW weapons... and its way too late to go back trying to make UW work, most of us hate it and we dont want it and they have other stuffs planned on their shouldersi hope theyre not thinking of an UW expansion unless they really want to seal their fate once & 4 all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonewolf Kai.3682 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 One thing that really, reeeeeaaaaalllllllllllllllllyyyyy grates on my nerves terribly is that my helmet gets replaced.

MysticReaper.4318 Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 as i read your comments and to my surprise, my gear upgrading habit paid off. i always upgraded every gear piece including the breather, trident, the harpoon. i had to do it to explore the underwater zones of the ruins of orr.

Sir Alric.5078 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Am i the only one who has all of his characters properly equipped for underwater combat? Looks like i am, reading this thread. I love underwater combat. It' one of the things that blew my mind about this game when i first started out back in 2014. It's a real shame that Anet decided to listen to the naysayers and basically removed it from the game. Any water area outside of core Tyria is only there for aesthetic purpose, because there is nothing to do in it. Makes one wonder why did they bother to revamp underwater combat a while ago if they didn't plan do bring back underwater content to the game. :/ I'm still hoping for an unending ocean expansion though. One can only hope. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil.1580 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 This will change once ANET brings us the next expansion, with the underwater dragon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexi.1398 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I kinda wish that underwater skills were mass revamped - gw2 may not have trinity, but all weapon skills have a role or purpose- even so much as a soft CC can make one weapon different enough from another in purpose. Underwater restricts utilities, and is SO massively unbalanced, with weapons that have no clear purpose most of the time- likely because of how few there are- their biggest point of differentiation (as well as choice) is often "melee vs ranged", and some classes barely even get that. The most /basic/ split i'd expect for any given classes skills is condi, power, melee, range, utility. Underwater, with so little choice, leaves many people having to spec specifically for underwater which is too much effort for not having much content and much infinitely rewarding content- I guess that's why they made almost every class OP underwater instead, because lots of condi builds are absolutely boned underwater (luckily the weapons lack of purpose at least means most give some sort of small condi ticks....) and it's a nice bandage for not having to actually rebalance and revamp, something which is not light or work or on decisions.

But underwater doesn't have to be all of it, we can have ship battles, islands, and meta-events where several things need to be done at once and so those who want to avoid underwater can stay on land without loosing anything.

Perihen the Thawk.9527 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I honestly enjoy the underwater combat, I find it frustrating that it's so hard to get people to do the events. I remember discovering that everyone hates underwater events when I couldn't get anyone to do the Krait blood witch with me in Kessex Hills. I've still never killed it.I just farmed enough winterberries for my ascended aquabreather and slapped a +16% swimspeed infusion on it and I'm itching for underwater content.
