GW2's underwater combat isn't impressive at all, especially in PvP. Sure the underwater stuff looks great, but the actual combat? Not very interesting.

I can get behind underwater exploration for ESO, but not underwater combat. It seems too big an enterprise for a minor and likely underwhelming gain.

You just remind me to get the slaughterfish achievement!!!

No game has ever done diving right. Very glad it's NOT in this game.

Under water worlds can be very appealing visually. I loved to have them in EQ2, then WoW (to a lesser degree - too unrealistic for my taste) and GW2.

Fighting is not a necessity, there could be resources for crafting and/or peaceful quests, maybe even an Argonian town in some kind of air bubble. There are many possibilities to make it work with existing lore.

Regarding "wearing heavy armor" - maybe people who do that should drown if they are not smart enough to put off their clothes before swimming. They would already in current ESO anyway, so this is not a valid argument.

And? Play some Morrowind(or next games in ES series), then talk about realistic underwater combat (and yes- you could use only daggers,fists and spears underwater, weight of the armor slow you down to crawl -there was also a "breath" timer)

There was also a variety of water related spells (underwater breathing, waterwalking, fast swimm)

Its quite obvious that there are some casuals in these thread that know NOTHING about Elder Scrolls series and lore

Folks that complaining about missing underwater content (some basic stuff, not "Bosses" ) are doing so cos this always was part of Elder Scrolls games

Btw - at this point we are right now, i am AGAINST adding it - i preffer devs to work on adding "missing" provinces, quests and such, not unimportant thing like underwater exploration (well maybe if they release Yokuda expansion )

Underwater exploration, treasure hunting, ingredients etc. I guess I could live without the underwater combat but it would be nice to have it even if it's added later. I would definitely pay for an underwater expansion pack.

GW2 had the best underwater ive seen in any mmo to date.I dont play that game anymore but they did a wonderful job.

I've never really been a fan of underwater combat in any mmo I've played but being able to swim underwater adds incredible potential to make the world even more intriguing.

Coming across a small lake that you decide to explore underwater a bit and finding a small underwater tunnel. Once you surface you find it led to a huge cavern or ruin or hidden city etc. All found by jumping in a lake. Sounds great to me to expand the world in such a way.

I would like to see an expansion like Trials of Atlantis for DAoC eventually, with underwater content. But i don't mind if it isn't in the game at launch.

Yeah, because casting spells and giant spiders isn't, lol.

No it's not ridiculous, it's awesome.

Fighting underwater is not awesome, it's ridiculous.

ALL underwater zones in ALL MMOs have been terrible.

If a game is not specifically designed for underwater combat and movement, it will look terrible. I hope they never add it.

Remember Vashj' ir in WoW. arg.

Ok, ppl complain about fighting underwater, how about PUNCHES ???? thats realistic, and would be TONS of FUN! imagine the scene, you (an Argonian) in Cyrodiil chasing the fleeing target, then he jumps on the lake, dive, you go after him, and you start a Punch fight underwater!!!! Há!


Sometimes ppl forget games are for entertainment.

You seem to be claustrophobic, Vashj'ir in my opinion is a wonderful map.

No punches! That's not realistic at all. Punching underwater is so slowed by the water that it can't hurt anybody, especially not the guy in full plate armor. _{Full plate armor that floats but it's just a detail.}

Hang then???

Aquaman would disagree.

XD

Aquaman is the second worst superhero ever, just after spiderman

I couldn't care less about what aquaman thinks

How rude. HE RODE SEAHORSES OF DEATH!!!!

Stop, you're making me laugh all my food on my keyboard

Also means no drowning and I'm fine with that. At most you get eaten alive by slaughterfish.

Fact is, there is ppl who likes Apples, there is ppl who like lemons...


Is all about opinion... i understand there is more important things to be add/done in the game than underwater content, but once they introduce, the more content = the best for the game, even for those who doesnt like that certain feature.

Like pvp, if you dont wanna participate it, just dont go there.

Pls no underwater after gw2 lol what a mess

I'd like to see underwater content, it's been there in previous TES games.

I don't buy the 'realism' argument against underwater combat, there isn't a single bit of ground combat that even comes close to realistic in ESO. Using realism as an argument would mean having to take that out, too.

Dude fireballs are real just ask Ryu and ken
