Why not introduce diving under water in ESO?
-
Xinz'r✭✭✭I think we will see it in a future dlc. Matt Firor knows well about underwater content , it was added in Daoc about 2-3 Years after its release, with Trial o Atlantis, underwater dungeons ,bosses and contents.
I hope so

Was it like an underwater zone or did it open underwater everywhere?What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
That's right... Horse.

You could go underwater everywhere if it the water was deep enought, also in pvp, but for the dedicated underwater quests , bosses, group contents and new fun things , you had to own the Trial of Atlantis expansion, wich included some new map zones, and the one full dedicated to underwater enviroment was "Oceanus" , you can see it in this map, in the central zone:

Daenerys✭✭✭✭As an avid TES fan, I definitely miss the underwater aspect of the game. Especially the underwater exploring and treasure hunting! It would integrate so nicely w/the treasure maps. Argonians would really feel like that racial perk mattered too. It would open the door to new quest lines, such as pirate quests (maybe from Capt Kaleen?!), or to catch pirates if that was your thing. So much fun could be had! Hope to see it someday

I agree Daenerys Targaryen, True Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Khaleesi of Great Grass Sea, Stormborn and Mother of Dragons
Just couldn't resist

I agree with this. Someone said that they would have to redesign all rivers, lakes, the whole sea and everything to make it deeper. I think it's not true. I think it's already deep enough, they should just make diving available.
We don't plan to go 50m underwater (although some actually do ). Just dive a little 0 -

I actually suggested this sort of idea here: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/149340/what-i-hope-tamriel-unlimited-means/p1The Coral Kingdom: This could be a single release DLC expansion giving players the partially sunken nation of Thras between Tamriel and Yokuda, and a new playable race, the Sload and could introduce underwater content to ESO, if it's not already in ESO by this point. Since the Sload detest adventure the playable Sloads would have to be considered Sload outcasts and the story would have to reflect that.
That post is about a bunch of possible expansions, not just Thras and the Sload.
EDIT: Thought I'd make this Sload Adventurer for fun. hehehe

I'd like that, but if they make that, then it shouldn't be a problem for them to simply unlock that feature elsewhere.0 -
Avonna✭✭✭lets wait until they can get this game working first..... then maybe add ice skating and snow cones...... i mean underwater activity....xox0 -
Stalwart385✭✭✭✭Dont hold you breath.
ZoS recently discussed the large amount of development that goes into an underwater environment in an eso live. With all the thing that are "soon" to be released, I wouldn't expect something like this on the radar for three years.
The good news is that the engine does spport it. It just sounds like a lot of programming, development and art would nedd to be done.Edited by Stalwart385 on 15 July 2015 05:281 -

You have to think deeper than that. A 3d environment, animations, water to land boundaries, skills, combat and content. This and more all must be thought out and developed.Edited by Stalwart385 on 15 July 2015 05:340 -

✭✭✭I hope they add more things like underwater zones to the game if only so I can craft waterbreathing potions or enchantments. The underwater zones were meant to be a ways past puzzles or part of the dungeon delving experience. I agree that something is missed by not having waterbreathing, but then this topic has been thrown out since Beta. They might actually make it possible some day, they might not. It would be cool but we'll see. I'm still hoping to seen towns like Leyawiin or Bravil or the like.US/AD - Dodge Hopper - Vet Imperial Templar | US/AD - Goj-ei-Raj - Vet Argonian Nightblade

fallensbane_ESO✭✭✭Build the framework for it around a new zone post Orsinium release. New zone has land and the first underwater content. Then overtime, maybe once every month release a new underwater section for existing zones until they are all filled. This puts less team members on add to an older area but still gives cause to come back to old zones and to add a new feature.0 -
TheShadowScout✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭I always liked the underwater play in TES games. And yes, am missing it in ESO. And am hoping that someday in the further future, they might refit this...
There could be a lot of DLC to be made around watery stuff, from dipping your toes with a Maormer-centric expansion to full underwater cities and Sload as has been mentioned...
But of course, there are way more important things to be done now. Still, someday... one can hope.0
