Swim - Underwater Map! How about it SE!

[MikoteAstra]

Something was bugging me when i was looking at the last Live letter, where they showed the next Primal.

We cant swim, and there are so meany places where would be nice to do it.

And how about underwater map, where we fight and adventure, wouldn't be nice?

What do you think about it, and do you think SE will do it ?

Nope.

Considering the fact that we cannot even swim in the game, I doubt they'll be adding an underwater area any time soon. However I'm sure that if they did, it would be gorgeous like the rest of the game!

I don't know how good of a game experience that would be since all of the underwater MMO experiences I've had have been a bit confusing and difficult to navigate (I'm looking at you WoW!)

Maybe it's something they'll think about in the future. For now, I do think they'll just work on expanding the land mass.

Nope. I've played Guild Wars 2. It had underwater combat which I really hated. It was clunky and so hard to navigate. Especially one dungeon where most of it was underwater... it was horrible.

I'll only accept Blitzball as something we do in water.

Wow, I completely blocked out the GW2 underwater stuff... *shudder* thanks for reminding me! xD

Yoshi P diiiid mention something about this a lonnnnnng time ago, but I think he mentioned he wanted something up in the sky first. GW2 >.> sure was something, but don't think that the mechanincs would be the same! Even if they don't make underwater combat, I'd like to at least be able to swim ; ; such beautiful water and I can't even swim in it.

If they add Blitzball, I can see people dedicating themselves to playing it. Would be pretty fun! Zanarkand was a pretty advanced place though, so I don't see how it would fall into the lore. The only ones capable of such technology were the allagans, and they're all dead.

Any underwater zone we are likely to see are probably going to be like the Underwater Temple or or such. Actual swimming combat would be very awkward with this style of gameplay. They would have to have completely separate everything to even look good, or play right. There are better things to spend their time doing than conjuring a whole new combat system that takes into consideration underwater positioning.

About the combat..just an idea of my !

It does not need to be different then what we have now...how about the mobs be in a platform and we swim to them....in some maps we have such sky platforms...how about such platforms under the water and mobs be there, and we fight them on the ground like we normaly do ?

God no, a thousand times no.

Just.

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