Guild Wars 2

Did dev-s realy decided to forget about underwater weapon? First and only underwater skins that was added after the release was a chaos weapon, if I’m not mistaken. Of course, I understand that the underwater battles much less than terrestrial ones. But it’s still remain one of the unique key features of the game. Such an attitude of dev-s makes me sad a little.

They are slowly deleting Underwater combat and gameplay till it’s completely removed. I don’t think they like it.

Nobody likes underwater combat. I’d be perfectly fine if I never had to fight underwater again. I despise the PS missions that force you to spend 90% of the mission underwater.

Is not it a bit too bravely to speak on behalf of all?

I like it, for example.
In most MMOs character can’t swim at all. In some of them – can not fight in the water. And in this one a whole unique system(!) created for water combat.
I do not understand what reason could exist to dislike it.

I had noted this a little while back. With pretty much every new weapon skin set they’re releasing they’re completely missing the underwater weps.

Out of all the black lion weapon skins, only Chaos, Dreamthistle, Aetherized and Tormented have underwater skins. That’s 4 out of 22 sets that do have uw skins, with only one set having them at the vendor at this present moment.

I’d prefer an overhaul to the actual underwater combat then getting more skins for it tbh.

How about in the personal story mission “Forewarned is Forearmed” where you have to go into the sewers with Forgal. Any mob that is underwater in that – and I mean ANY mob there – can magically swim through the kittening BRICK walls. Then you’re screwed if you use a projectile because guess what? They’re obstructed! And then on top of that, Forgal magically kittening follows the mob through the BRICK walls!

That’s just a snowflake on the tip of the iceberg.

Please don’t bother telling me that that’s not an issue to get mad about. It took me over half an hour to finish that quest on one character purely because of this kittening bug.

No one denies the existence of glitches. But does ignoring (or offer to remove it, at all) of problem – the bettter solution than an attempt to fix it?

Dont forget that Ascended Aquabreathers still dont exist in the game.

It’s been 2 years since Ascended Armor was introduced, and they never completed a full set of Ascended Armor. Yes, that Aquabreather is indeed a piece of equipment that replaces your Helmet’s stats while you are underwater.

move weapons like spear and trident to ground weapons. And all thous skins will be saved as there are a lot of good looking ones. Give thous 2 weapons to some classes and its done. New weapon for class. I doubt that its that hard to make them as underground weapons. Only hardest thing would be … to chose what skills they will cap.

Well, I like it. It’s not as bad as all talk about.

There are two ways for anet to fix this: either rework the whole underwater content and introduce it again with a new expansion or they will remove it completely.

The sheer fact that they introduced it from the beginning is a plus for the first. Also I can’t imagine they remove it completely. Don’t forget that they must make underwater combat for the Revenant. Also, they can’t just remove it since people invested in underwater legendaries (like me).

I like it and so do all the people in the countless threads defending it over the past couple of years.

It is however in a neglected state. Ignoring it is not the answer. They prob have metrics showing peoples behaviour towards underwater combat and skin purchases which drive these decisions. Data at face value is misleading though, it just needs improving for both casual and competitive play. Since underwater doesnt feature much in a jungle, it will be a while before this ever gets addressed.

Don’t be That guy okay

I LOVE underwater combat, raid of capricorn was my favorite pvp map. Only unskilled ppl that don’t only know to press 1-1-1-1-1 complains about UW combat.

It is strange that before the release all people admired the idea. Despite the fact that everything was shown in the preview video many times. And now, suddenly, indignant crowd came, which disgusted to climb into the water…

It’s not that they are neglecting it because people don’t like it. It’s that people don’t like it because it is neglected. If they have had put only half an effort they wasted on things like current trait system on fixes and polished to the underwater content, it would have been a great hit.
