Guild Wars 2

I recall reading there was a transition issue so water was removed.

Hope work to fix this so water maps are usable is ongoing.

I know some dislike water fighting maybe even for the reason I love it. Water fighting is 3D so I can go over and under an opponent not just side to side.

Maybe the water maps would be separate track for the most part going for the water pvp achievements that should be added with the maps.

it is sad but i think they kinda gave up on pvp under water combat at this point. : (

at first they removed the water from the temple of the silent storm.

then they removed the pirate ship map – raid on the capricorn. : (

If you though land fighting balance was bad, its even worse underwater.

Downstate ranger tanking anyone?

I also would like to get underwater PvP back.
If it’s not really balanced or whatever, just take it out of solo ladder or make it custom arena only like the new deathmatch.

It’s just that underwater pvp is completely unbalanced up to the point that it just didn’t make much sense,most people rather avoided the underwater fights all together.I did like the map though,i will miss it..i’d rather have seen that they just revamped the map and shallow out the water so you could just walk there instead.But who knows…it might come back revamped eventually.

A water set of maps could be used to balance what ever is considered unbalanced just like on land. Of course just like on land there will never be total true balance it just to hard to do you just have to keep fiddling.

An having this separate from the normal solo ladder was a key part of my suggestion. Map or maps you can add to your custom maps sets would be nice. And a overall PVP master title would require you rather master both land and water areas or a special solo land and water combined latter for a short time but only when water is balanced to a level approximate to land battles.

But please in balancing as often as possible just increase or decrease damage effects and times on boons conditions instead of total reworking of abilities. (In WOW I thinkthe total rewordings were programing department avoiding layoffs or trying to justify more programers. Look up Empire building and how it hurts companies)

Milferd.3780, I think you’re a part of a tiny minority that actually enjoyed underwater PvP.
