interesting.
with comments like this, I really would like to know what makes GW2's water combat so much unique to other MMOs that allow combat under water.
seem the same honestly.
its 3D combat in WoW and Rift when under water. not sure how thats something unique to GW2. just saying.
Best way I can describe it is that it feels like underwater combat and they put a lot of effort into the movement. Like my thief has a move with the harpoon that launches himself backwards... in WoW you'd just go back right? in GW2 its more of a back and slight curve... with a rush then a slow down as the curve happens.
Now if you're thinking *hard* differences than yeah not that many... under water combat is underwater and you swim around...
Is there larger underwater environments outside most starter areas? Cause I've been in a few lakes but they just were not big enough! Though it was fun.
Also that reminded me since you mentioned 3d underwater environment, people can now play the one and only true Esport: BlitzBall. I call the Besaid Useless Aurochs.
WvW has some nice under water areas.. not HUGE .. but large... even some deep keep entrances under water for defenders.
I love the underwater areas. Like scuba diving in a game.
My only quibble with the combat is that enemies are too close together - it is hard to avoid aggroing too many of them, especially if you drift up and down while fighting.

The graphics are crisper, the movement is smoother, depth perception is absolute, and overall percpective is superior to other games.
I think thats what he was getting at.
