Guild Wars 2

Please add this back into pvp. I see no reason why underwater combat shouldn’t be in ‘Practice’ mode for the purposes of fun and well, practice.

I don’t understand why you would throw away 1/3 of the games combat content while keeping a ridiculous map like sky hammer. I know this has been posted probably 100 times but i feel it needs to be re posted until they reconsider.

Actually…. I haven’t seen this specific suggestion.

I see no reason why Raid on the Capricorn could not be added to private pvp rooms.

i will tell you why underwater combat was removed: rangers….

yes you heard me right, rangers…. you can down them but you can never kill them because
- you can’t stomp underwater
- pet heals them endlessly even if it has 0 HP (which basically makes them immune to anything lol)

so you just down them, they pet heal back, you down them, they pet heal back untill you are dead~

God no. ANet is not capable of balancing normal combat in some decent timeframe, we would have to wait like 10 years before underwater combat was at least a bit playable.

Rangers ruined underwater combat for everyone else.

necro killed ranger though xD

My warrior always managed to kill ranger before they could call for bugged pet.
War is a king of underwater combat followed by ranger in fact.

Necro is higher than Warrior underwater.

Necro and warrior both op underwater…. but imho warrior is a tiny bit better.

+1 to OP. Raid on the Capricorn was the first pvp map I ever played and since I was playing a warrior at the time, it tricked me into believing I would be good in pvp. When I ventured back into the Mists recently, I was heartbroken to discover it had been completely removed from the map rotation.

I know there were balance issues with underwater combat, that lead to the removal of Rain on Capricorn. I understand the priority has to be put into the majority of the game which is Land based combat, but I would love to see underwater PvP return in the future, even if it is out of balance it would be so nice to have Raid on Capricorn again, or a100 % underwater arena map with vertical point nodes for Unranked play. I can imagine a map that has ocean currents that can rapidly move players to points, and the entire match is fought underwater with Point A being on the surface of the water, point B being in the middle, and Point C being on the ocean Floor. Or at the very least bring back Capricorn for private arena’s. It was one of my favorites.

You could simply have a check box option where players that do not like underwater combat could “black list” them.

To me Saying underwater combat was out of balance is like saying Terrormancers should not be allowed to play the Skyhammer map.

No thanks.

Underwater gameplay has sucked in every single game that I have ever played ever..and I have played a lot of games.

plz don’t – ppl didn’t like it and it’s too big of a hassle to balance this other aspect.

not even going to read. NO underwater combat that has to deal with point

Under water Combat was a lot of fun. I do so hope they bring it back.

I loved that map and I miss it greatly. It was my favorite of all the maps.

This particular idea has been brought up before, it’s usually a once every two-three weeks idea though. I have strongly brought this up to ANET a few times, probably a little bit to strong….

Hopefully this will be re-implemented…

As mentioned, there is absolutely NO REASON that underwater combat shouldn’t be available for private rooms for those who want it.

That being said, if you put that abysmal crap anywhere that someone is forced to participate in it, you’re worse than Hitler. Legit.

Underwater combat is broken as hell but it’s no worse than having skyhammer, spirit watch or courtyard in the rotation. +1 for bringing it back to unranked.

Keep the feed back and suggestions coming, as long as they are constructive i’ll have more ammo for pros and cons against this idea :P
