''The Flood''
I was thinking this was about the Flood from Halo XD.
The sea creature part sounds exactly like what happens during Rift’s water invasions however.
Most people hate underwater combat, be it the skills,the lack of an exotic breather, the invulnerable mob glitch ,(rare these days but still happens) ect. I’m okay with underwater combat but if it was forced we would see a kittenstorm of QQ from everywhere.

me too!
Yeah, I was on a Halo mindset too! xD
Though having a species of plant/insectoid creatures that can infect other sentient beings would be a pretty kitten enemy to combat. Mordemoth’s minions anyone?
Anyway, a Living Story Event in which an areas of Tyria gets flooded would be pretty awesome!
Flood the Grove.
No, seriously, it seems like that place would be much easier to maneuver around underwater.
underwater combat isn’t that bad, though the issues i dislike with it is the Z-depth targeting and enemy hit boxes, most times when you target something with your spear and you wack it , it doesn’t always connect and it’s hard to distinguish your position in relation to the hit zone, though the issue with a trident/harpoon gun is less problematic (despite the really low dmg it does).
The only MMO where I’ve seen underwater combat successful is in WoW’s Cataclysm expansion, the Vashj’ir zone was really nice and became my first destination to level with in alts, the Z-depth/speed and fluidity of it felt much better, though no discredit to ANET dev’s, it’s fantastic what they’ve done so far, just not really feeling it from a player’s perspective.
