X T D.6458 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 With the upcoming (and long overdue :) ) overhaul of underwater skills hopefully it will be easier to play underwater and we will see more of that content in the future. So...will we be able to ride Dolphins anytime soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archranis.2375 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I'd like to have a seahorse mount for under water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plok.5873 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Ever since I saw Spielberg's classic Jaws I wanted one of them as a pet....Hey AN, sell me a white shark mount + mini pet, please. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re enhancing underwater skills and utilities so you can blast the barnacles off anything that tries to nibble your toes while you’re swimming."No idea what is that "overhaul" you're talking about, this thing is screaming "balance update" to me...But on a second note, it would be cool to use a skimmer underwater ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that they make more skills usable underwater, maybe make all ground targeted skills target your current target when underwater. That kind of thing.

Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I was really hoping that we'd get an underwater mount during the LW to complete the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teratus.2859 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Underwater mount.. specifically Dolphin's been a request of mine for a while now.I am very happy the devs are finally giving the underwater content some TLC.. it is very long overdue and frankly something I've also been nagging for years about.It makes me optimistic that future content involving the sea dragon isn't going to be ignored which a lot of people were starting to suspect it would be thanks to underwater content overall being negatively viewed despite GW2 having one of the best underwater and combat systems in the MMO world.I'm probably getting my hopes up a little too high here but I can't help it.. this is something i've wanted for years now.

ProtoGunner.4953 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I could see a seahorse or a turtle as underwater mount, it is imho the logical conclusion to do. The question is when: if they overhaul it soon will these mounts come soon or probably with the next expansion? We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udolpho.1209 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 A seahorse would be neat. But realistically, it would be a lot easier to give the skimmer (basically a manta ray) a dive function and have it swim underwater. Like a circular back flip that plunges in down. Swimming animations wouldn't need to be changed. I feel like skimmer needs some extra love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshallLaw.9260 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Hopefully devs won't be wasting too much time on underwater combat/travel. Probably adding a mastery line to skimmer which allows it to travel underwater would be the most optimal way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientYs.8613 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Since we got introduced to mounts in PoF I think in the next expansion they could theoretically expand upon mount abilities by giving them the power to swim underwater or it could be a mastery trait but tbh i prefer the former. In any case I am very excited for this underwater balance update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd pay gems for that. There was a thread a while back on underwater mount ideas that had some great suggestions.I like the idea of a Manta Ray, which would be relatively easy for Anet as the Skimmer is pretty much a manta ray (and for a while (still?), if you went to an underwater waypoint while mounted on your skimmer, it would rocket you up to the surface, so we have (had?) a sort of underwater mount).

Hybarf Tics.2048 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I wouldn't be surprised to see your mount in the update, also a possibility for Skimmer to get a new skill, swimming underwater. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr.5382 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Do we even need to be limited to organic mounts? What about diver propulsion vehicles? Or even encapsulated vessels? Or maybe that's not in the right "spirit." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abakk.9176 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I think the space we have underwater is already cramped ... on a mount it would shrink even smaller.How about some magic skill that propells us a bit faster on our own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be great anet laziness if all they did was make necro wells usable and instead of cirlce aoes they became sphere aoes. lol, that would just be sad.
