Guild Wars 2

Ok so you have a pretty nice map and you’re getting rid of it? Why don’t you just drain it and find a place for a capture point. I mean this will take a 100th of the work as a new map would. Why do you just want to get rid of a map you had since launch.

and where are the sharks going to live? unless they become land sharks.

Everywhere there was water just turn it into sand, the sharks can mutate into skelks. :-)

They’re just kittened

As others have stated before in some other topics : the issue is the very existence of that single map requiring three extra pieces of equipment + sigils and a second skill set. It would have added a bunch of extra work in making the new build UI.

That is why they are removing it for now, they will probably put it back when they have the time to put the underwater weapons in the new UI. Maybe they won’t even bother with the underwater weapons and they will indeed drain it, who’s to say? Meanwhile, this is their reason for removing it.
