Underwater Zone 💦

I think it was a success, but obviously the developers does not agree with me since we never got another one.

Have you had your eyes closed since Cata, Vashj’ir was one of the most hated zones.

It’s a shame they removed the ending cinematic,I liked Vashj’ir a lot, much more than the new ‘water zone’ I can never remember the name of.

@Ishayo-frostmane

The zone had stiff competition though, in the form of Mount Hyjal. The hype for exploring Hyjal was real because it had been teased from before the game came out and many major lore moments happened there, yet we couldn’t go there ourselves.

You had to do at least some of Hyjal to unlock the Firelands (and the 265 epic gear) so it made sense to pick that as your first zone.

Exactly 12 years ago people were complaining that they don’t like Vash’ir and it ended up with whole raid being scrapped. I don’t believe Blizzard will go into creating another one.

Moist zones arent that bad, blizz should make and bring out more water zone

Acti-Blizz are on record for never wanting to do an underwater zone again since Cata.

They hated doing it and most of the players at the time hated too.

That wasn’t the reason the raid was crapped they spent more time on FL. One of my favourite raids. The raid wouldn’t have been in the actual water, that would have been hell.

Well… for a zone that everybody hates so uber much there sure are a lot of people in here who love it, huh?

People picked Hyjal before the release of Firelands, at which point they had no idea about that being a raid with an attunement quest.

Underwater zones are terrible, please no more. The Z-axis works very poorly on a 2D screen, and has a ton of accessibility issues.

[Trovlak-aggramar (Trovlak)]

I hated Vahj’ir, and went to great lengths to avoid it on alts.

[Haxxman-silvermoon (Haxxman)]

Yes, more water zones, make the underwater mounts actually usefull!

[Punyelf-draenor (Punyelf)]

I think underwater zones are the most unpopular concept in WoW. Ofc some will like them.

It was always quieter levelling in Vash’jir compared to Mount Hyjal back in the day.

Is that the one that continually bugged out? If so, I don’t think I ever saw it in its entirety and didn’t know it had been removed

@Moìst-argent-dawn

im legit serious, the eel fight in BFA was really nice

My favorite boss from the Eternal Palace.

Also, I’d vote yes for an underwater zone, but they won’t do it because people were crying about Vashj’ir (a great zone) how different your controls are.

Is it this one?

Vashj'ir Ending / Abyssal Maw

Honestly doing Vashj’ir some months ago I haven’t noticed what cutscenes there were there or not. Also I haven’t played Vashj’ir on alliance all the way to the end yet so I don’t know if they were any different.

I do know that the alliance ship intro to Vashj’ir was scrapped while the horde one is left intact pretty much.

[Atleria-argent-dawn]

i loved that zone i’ve done it on so many alts too sadly i think all the negative feedback cost us a raid tier down there

they should make a under water raid to pay us back for the one they cut in cata we kinda had a bit of the in the eternal palace but i need mooore

[Minck-argent-dawn]

Please no. I’ll grow triple in size and smell like a wet dog afterwards.

Was this a Dare to see how many times you could say “Moist” in one post?

The idea of Underwater sounds cooler than it is. I found it frustrating questing underwater. Mobs that were just a little above or below you would go Out of Line of Sight despite being right in front of you. Cave entrances were a pain to find often.
That zone had a weird map layout also which didn’t help.

Perhaps with a little work they could iron of the wrinkles of the game engine to work better underwater. But they have enough issues to sort out on dry land first.

[Ananda-kul-tiras (Ananda)]

Ah, yes, that was the one, thank you. I seem to have the achievement from the end so I must’ve done it but I remember there being a problem for ages with the escape sub getting stuck.

[Sorbeteis-venoxis]

Yes I’m in for underwater raids and scenarios but don’t like the zone as it was during cata. Maybe if they enhance the way we travel there.

Fear of deep, dark or open bodies of water. For example I could never go on a ship over the ocean. It scares me just thinking about it.

Ah, I have this. I never bothered to check if it had a name. It’s never bothered me in a game though.
