Mell.4873 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 We need a rework of all the underwater mechanics. Every skill should have underwater version and requirements for a class should be extended to the underwater skills. For example the Mechanist should have Mech and Mirage Trident Ambush should include group Alacrity. The could all be bundled into a nice content package of some kind. I know there are some deep sea mysteries so that could be explored. 4 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infusion.7149 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 You must be trolling right? The number of people that feared EOD being mostly underwater content was quite high and the leviathan event in Seitung Harbor isn't that popular. In addition asking for every skill to have an underwater version is a monumental task for Arenanet as quite a few skills do not function underwater currently. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linken.6345 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 It took them what 6 years for flesh golem to get underwater skill. Expect atleast the same for mechanist. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently it has potential but just needs to be fleshed out a little. That or we just remove underwater combat. I hate not being able to provide Alacrity underwater as a Mesmer. The whole trait goes to waste on Chronomancer. I'm sure the Mechanist would love there class mechanic the Mech to be in the water.

I find it funny you take issue with chrono underwater when it works fine if you play StM. Alacrity mirage doesn't work underwater because alacrity was never given to trident. I'm not sure what potential you see in underwater content. It's most likely any raid introduced with a Cantha theme is based in Urgoz , the Deep (was crystallized jade), or Domain of Anguish and people in 5 man content (i.e. fractals) actively avoid aquatic already. Instead of all or nothing ideas ("we just remove underwater combat") which also affect WvW too you should really think through your idea before posting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could just give everyone an underwater pet like the turtle. Then all the content could conform to that. WvW could just have some separate ability system based on armor type. Really anything is better than what we have. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 End of Dragons was almost entirely water-filled maps, to the point where Keining is basically Venice. It was the perfect oppertunity to have alot of underwater combat, but they chose not to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash.2681 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 If they'd actually fix those super inconsistent hitboxes underwater, then yes, I'd love to have some more underwater content. Until then- no thanks, I do not like to stab empty water with the boss seemingly being 10 Meter away, but his hitbox is not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vares.8457 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 The majority of players hates underwater content. So it’s a no from me 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) As much as I'd love significantly more underwater content, too big of a chunk despises playing on three axes. Arenanet mostly doesn't even bother to create underwater skins anymore and chooses to leave most sets incomplete instead. There is simply not enough incentive to indulge in our drenched content wishes. Edited December 21, 2022 by Fueki.4753 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mell.4873 Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 I guess the best can hope for is an underwater Mount. Something like the turtle than will keep you mounted and provide combat abilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you'll find a LFG squad listed under Seitung almost 24/7. Underwater? The most hated Fractal Instance is the Aquatic Ruins. The only dedicated underwater Instance. It's a very easy Fractal though but hard if players do not swim together especially on the luminous plant path. Easy run to sub-champ if travel slowly in group and kill all jellyfishes.

I never hated it. I'd rather do that than Sunqua Peak anyday. I do dislike how they changed the boss at the end though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that. I do Fractals practically daily and the only complain with Sunqua is when it appears with T4 and Rec on same day. Or paired with Shattered Observatory because of the lengths. Aquatic Ruins, almost guaranteed to see a negative reaction. Edited December 22, 2022 by Silent.6137 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemonCrypto.6792 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 If they do a underwater expansion, they will have to rewiew and finally fix underwater interraction/skill/classes that can only be an improovement on what we got. So,do it, i beg you to fix this part of the gameplay Anet. (also, i pray for the poor team who will unspagetify this part of extremely outdated code) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
