Underwater Combat

ArchivedUser

Just thinking that it would be nice to see something similar to Guild Wars 2 underwater combat, not the same but the general concept of fighting underwater against a completly different type of monsters and using different mechanics than on land.

Obviously there are many ways to go about underwater combat when magic is involved in the game, spells that allow to breath underwater or ease of movement. I would just love to see something else apart from fighting on land not including things like ships and stuff, was this mentioned in the past and what might be your toughts in regards to this ?

Underwater content has been confirmed. Breathing through potions or other means also confirmed. Would stand to reason there will be combat in addition to just pure exploration underwater.

That's great then, did they say anything about specific mounts to be used underwater ? I know there are going to be mounts for water travel but that's a bit different than underwater travel

I haven't seen anything beyond the tidesnapper image from KS that might function as underwater mount. We know they are talking about turtles and cross-breeding them in earlier livestreams. Water, above and below was a stretch goal, not core, so they may have not gotten that far in planning it out yet.

Their beards are used as flotation devices so they're fine

I'd say their beards absorb water so they sink fastern no ? more dead for you anyway

I would say a dead king but that would be correct in my case ^^

I'm guessing it's going to be a very similar system to WoW or Archeage where you are more floaty, need sir and now have a new dimension of travel (up and down). You can augment your movement, duration under and use special mounts so this is the system I imagine.

Pierce/Thrust weapons should be more effective underwater, but I wouldn't complain if they weren't.

It all comes down to whether you subscribe that your fantasy universe with magic should obey the laws of physics that your real one does. Who is to say that the water molecules aren't sentient and decide to get out to the way of a swinging mace? Undead mounts that flap a few bones to fly? Totally plausible.
