Swimming and Diving Improvements

Same here, it takes my SSD all of 2 seconds to load the water up so it feels really natural. When swimming in the real world there's always that moment of bubbly blindness going in or coming out, that's exactly what it feels like.

But I can imagine how painful it might be on a platter HDD that takes 20 seconds to load the zone.

PS4 limitations, please look forward to it.

May I suggest you go to many Arabic countries & show the soles of your feet. What would you like; stoning or lashing, your choice? Don't forget to pay the fine too before you get deported. Or maybe you want to do it in Thailand & offend someone greatly.

You could also go to Greece & show the palm of your hand & see what happens. Try it in Nigeria if you want to start a tribal war.

Don't mock the rules & customs of others just because you're ignorant. Even worse, don't mock someone who is giving a reason as to why things are as they are.

But we have bare hands in the game, and games are localized for a reason so the "other countries custom" is not really a valid reason not to do it.

B) Let us use mounts on surface. There is no logical reason that we dismount the moment we touch the surface, while we can use the mounts underwater.

For A) I find the transition with bubbles really great, no need to change it.
For B) I agree that if our mounts can dive with us, they should be able to swim on the surface too. lol
But still, the swimming and diving is amazing to me. I really enjoy it so as spearfishing!

You can actually mount and swim on the surface once you unlock flying... Though by that point you really don't need to.

I'd like to see hidden treasure hunting places underwater personally. It could be a new gathering profession called salvaging or something like that where you find underwater caches that contain items with chances for rare things like minions, mounts or glamours.

I do agree with point B as well.
I found it kind of disappointing how (in Costa Del Sol) we'd just dismount as soon as we touched the water instead of swimming with a mount that can dive. I mean, I was a bit disappointed as well by the "swimming" animations of mounts simply being slow-mo versions of their flying animations, but that's an other story.
Mounts that can dive should be able to swim on the surface just as much, it would be nice to have

Whats the point of those suggestions exactly ?!

The real problem is the underwater things are totally useless unless if u want to stab a fish!!!!!!!!!!

Or RP thats it really :( .

The heck? Leave us out of this ridiculous claim, we have no such thing. It's not custom nor culture or anything, it's just the matter of manners. Who actually showing other people the soles of their feet? Pretty sure if you shows the soles of the feet to anyone, you would get a frown.

But this swimming thing is not a fashion show of your soles of feet though? Do you always swim with your shoes on?
