Guild Wars 2

While you can plug in keybinds for ‘swim up’ and ‘swim down’, those only work once you are actually underwater, the keybind for ‘swim down’ will not make you go from swimming on the surface to swimming underwater.

Right now the only ways to go underwater are to jump in from a higher point (not always available), or adjust your camera angle and move forward; which is lots of busy work, especially a pain when something is attacking you from underwater (or one of your underwater skills knocks you back to the surface!) , and then you have to put everything back when you get out of the water.

It would be a huge help if there could be a keybind that specifically covered the dive from surface swimming to underwater swimming. I was honestly surprised there wasn’t one… I thought I was just being oblivious to where to set the bind.

I haven’t had any issue with this, but then I do most of my movement with the mouse. So I just hold both buttons down and push forward. Down I go.

Agree 100%. Make swim down drop us below the surface.

Sometimes I forget some people don’t control the camera with the mouse.

i hold both mouse buttons and it seems to make me go under water?

if you jump while at the surface, you’ll sink a bit when you come back down.

I agree that swim down should do this, but if you want a quick workaround, it’s worked fine for me.
