Swim - Underwater Map! How about it SE!

No game has done underwater correctly in an MMORPG, so I really, really hope not. Let's let them get the overworld right first.

WoW's version in Cata was fairly decent. When you touched the ground in the underwater zone you'd walk normally but jump and you're swimming again. Not only that but after a few quests you get perma-unending breath so there's no fear of drowning.

Not a single game has done underwater levels right, and due to this, I hate them. No, I shall remain a hydrophobe, thanks.

I dont understand you people, you say NO..but what is the reason for that..... none of you really gave some reasons for this.

Also what do you mean no MMO has ever done it right.....what is for you the right Underwater Map and Underwater Combat ?

And if big companys like SE dont try to do something new...from whom do you expect this ?

Im all for it, whatever fan service they can tie to under water content is all good to me.

The ESO Beta apparently lets you swim (no underwater combat as far as I know) and has good voice acting for even basic quests. I'm not particularly interested in elder scrolls games, but I wish we could just take that effort and put it in here...

1.x had the effort, it just sadly didn't have the engine :\

I really don't mind underwater combat, but that's not the big thing I want out of water: I just want the god damned invisible walls gone. Let us swim so I don't have to deal with those annoying things.

Same here.

The god forsaken invisible walls are a real plague in FFXIV:ARR.
I'd rather die a thousand deaths than have to deal with those, especially since their placement is just a big inconvenience most of the time.
(I mean, come one! Encircling a rock with an invisible wall when I could climb on it and see around at a lower level than nearby platforms. Now that's retarded. -- visit the cemetery in Thanalan for a nice example)

Having swimming would certainly help eliminate most of the invisible walls. Only those at the extreme border of the areas should be kept (since there is nothing beyond).

I'm 100% FOR having swimming, underwater content, flying content and LESS INVISIBLE WALLS.
(I don't care if it doesn't happen this year, but at least SE should confirm it's on the roadmap.)

This Miqo'te would not be happy to have to get wet...
