Can we please finally get underwater areas and underwater swimmimg in 2018?

Nyladreas

Hey folks, pretty much what the title says. I'd love to see underwater areas, both indoors and outdoors, caves, delves and such in 2018.

Imho there's a ton of room and potential for new explorations, secrets, treasures, new collectibles and such in this feature that ESO as one of very very few MMOs does NOT have.

It would be great if you guys at ZOS @ZOS_GinaBruno would rework or upgrade your engine so that we could have this. Just think of the possibilities! (+argonian racial use)

I've included a poll to see how many players would like to see this.

PS.: CAN WE ALSO FINALLY HAVE SWIMMING MOUTS (no water dismount), PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE?

PPS: HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

Meh, the water level is always boring.

Yes, I'd love to see underwater areas with the possibility of swimming underwater.

Doesn't that mean there's always potential to do it right this time? Not even saying I want a straight up underwater level. Just ability to explore underwater in already existing levels.

Dracofyre

you need Blackreach for elusive alchemy for breathe in water potions and find Helm of Aquabreathing. either one exist yet.

But only so we may kill slaughterfishes

if i remember right you could have gone Under water in Oblivion and find stuff....

Water was all Murky and stuff Nothing special but it added to immersion that little extra that was cool i really liked it.

you sometimes even could find Caves with monsters that was under water....

it added to the exploration...

Meh

I'd rather devs spend time making new land zones personally.

I'm a meh, it's not really needed or necessary. A full blown atlantis thing might be a bit too much since it's never been a thing in past TES games, swimming isn't fun, the aesthetics are.
I wouldn't mind it if they maybe threw it into a dungeon or trial where some people would have to swim to do something or they were thrown underwater and argonian swimspeed to save the day.

I don't think we need it. Maybe the aesthetics of an underwater home, or dungeon mechanic. Not a whole zone or anything weird and crazy.

The potential would be cool, but its implementation would be a difficult endeavor. At this point in the game, ZOS seems determined to make as much money as lazily as possible.
It's much easier to design another house and sell it for >10k crowns, than it is to add this kind of content.

No point. It would be such a small part of the game for the massive amount of dev work required. They would need to overhaul every point of water currently in the game to put something of purpose at the bottom of much of it. They'd have to reprogram mobs to chase into water and give them and players new animations for the water skills. Slaughterfish would still slaughter you if you went into the "no-no" areas of the map so don't even think that's a possibility. Really, what do you want this for other than to say that it's in the game. It wasn't designed to be included and going back and changing all that now it counter productive.

I've never liked underwater zones. The 360 degree combat always makes me feel nauseous.

Edziu

no, they cant handle with normal content to be worth this price with not to mention about even simple class diversity in PVE because as for now every class look same, changes ar only colous of skills and 2 other DOT skills on stamina build, so as for 1st look its hard to identify which class you see if you dont look on this plauer class icon

do you have seen what they done with morrowind? called expansion which have minimum minimum more "map" to run with less content than they orsinium as dlc so new content in very different new area will be bigger fail than morrowind, I just can gess map to explore will be comparabe even to morrowind while price will be same as for base game if not higher because hey! this type of content/map to exploration is 1st time here! its new different gameplay, its jsut like new game with new rules!

Other MMO's have it, and I think a little competition could do ZOS some good. I am for it, and it could make this game more of an Elder Scrolls game.

I seen this underwater content in other games and I can say they also had normla conted much much better worked out than ESO, so this is why I dont see it in ESO, becasue ZOS just cant done well here so why the hell they should create next and new content as they have problem to fix/do well old one?

Thats a lie...

if thats true you would not be here... and you would not be lvl5 on the forums...
they do something really well it seems....

You really should say "in the future" because they've already got the whole next year's content already scheduled for release, as it's been in development for at least a year. Dragon Bones, Summerset Isles, Murkmire, Mephala's Web, and Homestead additions are just to name a few that they are already working on.

Never liked swimming in mmos. It is always trash.

I know, this is a different kind of mmo! So it would work this time! No. It would just be a different kind of trash.

just look at my signature....

break/quit since morrowind patch

and was playing since beta and morrowind patch was enough for me to finally end with this game and if Im not playing then why I cant be, write on forums as I good know what is going on thanks to patch notes and some of my friends from eso and my experience, knowledge how ESO looked not that long ago

TheShadowScout

I liked underwater stuff. And would love to see it in ESO as well.

Though I fear ESO may not be an easy system to refit this to... so I won't hold my breath!

That is just awful and you should be ashamed

Nemesis7884

I don't give a daedrat's hairy butt.

while i do think it would be cool and is really cool in gw2 - without having specialist know how - my gut tells me the engine isn't built for that and the amount of work that this would require wouldn't justify the end result...you could probably get 3 times the overland content the time it requires to build an underwater swimming system?

I would prefer development resources be allocated elsewhere.

Shimmer

Have you played any games with underwater combat? Its slow, underwhelming, and just plain awful. Wow had an entire zone added for underwater combat that noone even plays or sets foot (or fin) in anymore. GW2 it was vomit inducing from all the dizziness. I would rather they place their dev resources in other areas of the game personally.

Also, with the engine they built the game on there are limitations and they cant really add it without some SERIOUS flaws. The question would then become, how worth it is it to add it if it takes years to build and overcome those issues?

Katahdin

No, I don't want to see this added - Please comment why.

I dont think it could be done right

I would rather see more areas of the land map be opened than under water.

Underwater combat is usually tedious and boring.

Kram8ion

It's coming Q3 of 2018 with flying mounts, dragons and spell crafting
But seriously they may as well create a new game with the work that has to go into producing such mechanisms
