Guild Wars 2

I happen to really enjoy water combat. In fact, I wish more water areas were added to the game, not taken from it. I’d even support the idea of an entirely underwater zone (in spvp, wvw, and/or pve). My guess is most people dislike underwater combat due to having to actively work with a z axis (perhaps more so than on land) and/or lack of stomping. Both of which give the impression of lazy players, imo.

But, in agreement with Static above, I do not think that having to take into account 6 more build pieces is an adequate reason for removing the map/de-emphasizing water combat. Players handle their 6 main armor pieces just fine, surely they can manage another 6…

I wonder if Anet is planning to do similar “fix” for the Capricorn map as they did with the Temple of silent storm. They could probably edit the map so that It would be playable without the water element? The map itself looks and feels good except the underwater parts IMO.
