    It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see how badly designed XIV is - Then people want underwater content? You do know that AO is horribly bugged, correct? That means if they were to "add a shader that simulated underwater distortion" it would do nothing but kill your FPS and thus render it unplayable while underwater for many.

    AO is a basic shading technique and it's horribly bugged.

    You don't even play the game lol, anyone who does knows AO kills your FPS and if they can't even get a basic shading technique how do you expect them to get "underwater" distortion to not kill your PC?

    You wrote:
    That and a shader that simulates underwater visual distortion and you've got bioshock style underwater areas.
    You do know Ambient Occ is a fairly basic shading technique right? You also know that if you cut it on it will take off 50% of your FPS no matter how good your rig is. So you expect them to get something like this to be bug free when the most basic of options is bugged to holy hell?

    Then again, you don't even play the game or you'd know that it's universally accepted the graphics in this game is bugged to ***.
