Sylent.3165 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Ok hear me out....Gw2 has the best underwater combat from any other mmo and it's still bad. There truly is no way it can be "fixed" without snapping characters around horribly to stay at combat levels and it would feel horrible and look bad. It's truly not anets fault it just can never work in a game good.Dry up the lakes. Add steps going down and ramps. Let us explore everything on the ground levels with events and the hearts and pois.

Drarnor Kunoram.5180 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 We're long overdue for an underwater balance update, but that's the only thing that's needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenom.9457 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Only when it is right, which is almost never I'd imagine. I feel like lake Doric was done well and made the feel dangerous without reworking old content. But I don't want this to be how they do it. Besides, it wouldn't fix the problem because we have oceans and rivers. Plus, as we expand outward, we'll get to where the water drained too and eventually it still isn't avoidable.P.S. I really want krakens in the DSD expansion, release it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edelweiss.4261 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Keep the lakes as is for already released content. For content involving Jormag or Primordius, however, we can freeze or evaporate water to avoid underwater combat. As for the DSD, I think we're kind of in trouble. I don't have faith in devs of any game making underwater combat fun without making it identical to regular combat on the sea floor.Also, I second the call for krakens. Naga would be cool too.

Do that too.I really like the PoF maps, but the events on there are spread out a bit too much. So many areas of enemies with wide wide aggro but not many events.Well... the PoF itself map. I don't like Istan at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceridwen.6703 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Leave them alone! Water is necessary. Technically I'm voting option two, but "Release the kraken!" sounds much better. After all, water is needed to do that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curunen.8729 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hell no!I like underwater combat, despite the limitations. Mesmer spear and trident are two of my favourite weapons in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musaroxy.2874 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Water combat isn't my favorite aspect of GW2, but it's still pretty decent, and it'd be interesting to see it updated even a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starhunter.6015 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Revamp water combat. Give each class new traits for only under water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvari.2953 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Underwater combat is neglected but it's still more fun and polished than in other MMOs. I understand that some of you don't enjoy it but threads like this are ridiculous. "Drying up the lakes" would take more development time than improving underwater combat. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Kreegan.8123 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The only things I dislike about the lakes is finding large sailing ships sunken in bodies of water where a rowboat is appropriate to the size of the lake, and finding sharks in landlocked bodies of water. Suspension of belief only goes so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercury ranique.2170 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Underwater combat might be not as good as it was intended, but that doesnt mean that it doesnt contribute to the immersion of the world. Drying the lakes would only mean that the world is allienated just for the purpose of a fightstyle that is less popular then that on dry land.

Omega.6801 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I'd rather have them fixing UW combat in this game. If it stays open world PvE it shouldn't be a problem to "balance" it as it doesn't open in the open world as long as it's not utterly broken. I never had problems with the UW sections of the game but I heards many ppl have problems with orientation and movement, I can understand it I just don't share those problems. What is a problem and is definitely not helpiing with how the community sees UW combat is the fact that ANet got lazy in developpement when they decided to put in eltes that have no UW utility for example.

Cuddy.6247 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Literally, release the Kraken. Give us all new underwater abilities with this raw magic we've been acquiring where we turn into magical krakens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
