I don't care what people say, that is damn cool

...Nut bunnys now i'm looking forward to ToA and its not even going to come out for ages, and age, and ages here

 

[Glottis_Xanadu]

I like the idea, but I hate the thought of corroding my plate armor by going underwater. I avoid swimming also
Not sure what the engine is, looks like the SI engine can do this stuff already, but we will see.

The housing pics are less spectacular really, those houses lie a bit close to eachother I feel, but we will see when the patch goes live. Some nice screens there!
Regards, Glottis

fat chance that i will be here for ToA nice screens though

 

[Ekydus]

Is there any news on how exactly it will be put into the game?

a) How do we move around?
(Walk on floor / Swim?)

b) How do we survive?
(Have a magical spell cast on us so as we can breathe water?)

c) Why do we want to go underwater?
(To kill King Neptune etc?)

This sounds like a very interesting expansion.

[kirennia]

not looking forward to smiting there.....

You cast a greater holy fury spell...
You hit everyone around you for 200 damage
You hit yourself for 2000 damage.
You just died. This is the 500th death for this level thus you loose normal experience. On top of this you are awarded a medal for 'being a dimwit' in electricuting yourself and decrease level back to level 49.

Hehe. Intriguing theory there Kirennia - maybe it's another hidden smite cleric nerf to force you guys to heal

 

[blademistress]

from an interview

"Nearly half of the expansion's two-dozen-odd zones will take place entirely underwater. Magic will enable players to hold their breath as long as necessary, but that won't necessarily keep them out of harm's way, since the watery depths are filled with nice things like sharks, and other less familiar beasts. For example, tritons can be found lurking deep below the surface of the ocean, though these mermaidlike creatures won't necessarily be hostile"

I can just imagine the horror of an albion raid.

Armsman sinks to the bottom and rusts due to heavy plate armor.

Paladin joins Armsman.

Fire wizard begins casting Flame Spear!
The water fizzles the spell!

Ice wizard begins casting a pbaoe!
The water around the ice wizard freezes and sinks the wizard to the bottom of the ocean.

Cleric begins casting Greater Holy Fury!
Cleric kills self due to electricity in water.

Infiltrators forced to move at 1/200 normal speed due to water/stealth.

Scouts miss more arrows as waves push them away from their targets.

Earth theurg pets dissolve.

Air theurg pets float to the surface.

Ice theurg pets melt.

Friars begin to get water logged.

Necromancer pets sink to the bottom.

Reavers poison the water and kill themselves.

Sorcerors mez breaks instantly due to moving water which deals a combat damage of 1 to every enemy.

Cabalist pets join the armsmen.




this is an alb nerf and you all know it

Trinilim...

Please give it a rest. Nobody's out to get you, and not every tongue-in-cheek reply to a post of yours is a personal attack.

 

[MesS°]

Give him a breake he is just abit paranoid...

 

[-Dreama-]

From what I've read the walking/running will be just like swiming...up, down, ect...there will be no weighted walking on the floor. But who knows, they may change that before it comes out.
