Add Swimming to Limsa Lower Decks

[dotsforlife]

Only issue I see with this wasted resources. Sure it would be nice but no one goes to those sections of the lower decks unless it's for quests. Adding swimming there would be popular for a few days at most and people would get bored of it and act like it doesn't exist save for the occasional event involving it. At most you'd just see people afk in the water just because they can.

I mean how often do you see people swimming in Costa del Sol when there's not an event going on?

To me, it was more of the idea of having at least one major city with swimming in it. You do have swimming in Rhalgr's Reach though, which plenty do swim there. I can't agrue the Costa Del Sol though.
I just always felt that Limsa has all this water in it and you can't swim in any of it. I remember being disappointed about that when I was a new player.

maybe my server is boring I dont see people swiming there either maybe if people could swim underwater in these areas would be more popular, but as it stands now the feature to swim has turned out to be kinda forgettable it seems

It's not that I don't agree or dislike the idea. It's just that there's nothing there to draw attention to it. Even Costa del Sol is a ghost town aside from Leves or MSQ/Class quests. If they'd add something to draw a crowd there it'd be useful and warranted. It reminds me of the Ruby Sea. All that wasted space. It's pretty but I can only hope they plan to really make it useful.

It's really a shame issues like this exist because many areas, city and abroad alike, are absolutely beautiful.

I can agree that it most certainly has died off and become a forgettable thing. I think part of that is that the 4.0 zones have flying where you can swim; and any old zones with swimming in it simply has nothing to do there anymore. That's why I see people swim in Rhalgr's Reach, it's more that they're crossing the river as a shortcut due to lack of flight.

The idea is a nice one but I suppose it would be a waste of resources. When I think about it, it would be to have it for the sake of it in the grand scheme of things.

Somewhat related, I wish they had some sort of dailies in Costa del Sol, because the layout with these small islands and the possibility of swimming there is gorgeous... I loved the past event because of it.

Well, the thing is... there's not much to do underwater other than traveling (at first) and gathering/spearfishing. We don't have any battle content in there. I don't think if I remember this right, but didn't Yoshi-P say that they only added it just to "have it"? as they weren't planning on expanding this feature anymore... or at least, not drastically. Swimming is like flying, in terms of mechanics. We still didn't get any flying combat or anything related to keep us busy.
