Guild Wars 2

As we all know, the remaining Dragon is an underwater dragon. This brings worry to a lot of people in the Guild Wars community regarding a new expansion/Living Story since quite frankly: under water combat sucks.

I have came up with a completely genius plan on how to fix this issue and will hopefully get Guild Wars 2 at its highest point in popularity yet!

So basically all the water gets frozen over because jormag is annoyed for some reason and all the monsters coming out of the water as frozen risen, including the dragon itself. Unable to go under water we venture through the frozen mountains with no space of water to be seen (therefore no underwater combat) searching for this monstrosity of a Dragon to hunt it down. 10/10

A paid expansion that gets rid of content?
10/10?

You can go pay for that.
I wont and will keep enjoying watercombat.

I can’t say I want an entire Living Story chapter underwater, but I think there are ways to improve water combat (more skills / aquatic alternates like Whirlpool) to have us venture into some deeper waters.

Is water combat the best part of the game? Definitely not. But I do enjoy it as a nice alternative to land-based combat, and I’d like to see more of it eventually. (Used as an accent or variation, as it is in World Exploration and the Personal Story.)

I bet we fight it on a ship like Leviathan FFXIV.

The problem here isn’t that under water combat itself is difficult, but players that have trouble with it make it difficult by trying to do under water what they do on land and you can’t do that. Also, they would/should add specific utility skills for each class to sufficiently cover under water combat and the corresponding traits. I know that’s a lot of work, but it can be done in my opinion. The issue with being unable to determine distance or use ranged skills because it’s difficult to judge distance under water is a moot point if the skills would go gray when out of range(applicable under water only to prevent simplification of land fighting).

Under water combat doesn’t suck, it just needs tweaking (like not letting sharks aggro you from across the ocean as soon as you go under water >.>).

I enjoy the under water stuff and would love to see underwater combat expanded upon, or have entire under water maps

So, a solid ocean?

What I wouldn’t give to be able to have a zone where we are traversing some of the more interesting areas of the Jade Sea. Loved it in GW1.

what of the ppl who got underwater legendaries tho

Yeah, no.

ArenaNet, don’t remove content. Actually, stop removing content, because you already have – recently and a long time ago.

Also, stop ignoring content that people don’t like just because it isn’t popular – maybe if you revamped things, or fixed bugs, things would become more popular, since poor design and bugs tend to push people off things.

So at some point, what needs to be done is not “remove underwater combat” but instead “improve underwater combat and exploration.” It was a huge selling point of your game, stop removing it bit by bit just because it didn’t pan out – if you do that, then you may as well scrap the whole game, because it sure didn’t pan out to how you claimed. Unfortunate, but true. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved yet.

Oh the memories. Cantha 2015! PLZ ANET!!!

Let’s make underwater fights just like in Honor of the Waves Dungeon.
10/10 everyone will love it and praise Anet for it.

Did you heard about Jade Sea in Cantha?:-P

I don’t think this is a big concern… we will almost certainly face Jormag, Crystal dragon, and primodious before we face the water dragon. Those 3 pose a much bigger threat since they actually live on land. Who cares if the water dragon takes over the oceans… no one lives there anyway.

Also based on current pace, we wouldn’t face the water dragon until 2027… By then you will have virtual reality water combat with real dragons.
