4.0 Swimming

[Thayos]

As another poster said, I much prefer flying to swimming. We covered this in another thread, but swimming is often something I end up trying to avoid in other MMOs, especially when underwater combat is involved. My hope is that flight is kept as standard from here on out, and if anything, swimming is an added bonus.

I would definitely pay money for underwater combat with my drk.

I've never understood why people have a problem with swimming and underwater combat. I greatly enjoy swimming because it allows the devs to put more into the world/zone for people to see and find. It creates some variation in set pieces for dungeons. The fact this game forces you to face your target when you perform an attack would make underwater combat a lot easier, too.

I'm also curious to see what Soken's take on underwater music would be. One of the few good things that came from Cataclysm was the underwater theme that conveyed the massive underwater setting you were in at the time quite well.

I don't know how I feel about that. I still remember questing in Vashj'ir during Cataclysm. So, I guess so long as it isn't like that... maybe?

The only problem with the Vash'jiir questline was that you were "trapped" there story-wise. The setting itself was amazing and was believably vast. Just like it you be if you went diving.
