New zone - Lot of Water

[TehNo0b]

I know we wouldn't see a new zone thats not already in development for quite some time as we already have a lineup coming our way. But i was thinking it would be cool, or atleast intresting to have some sort of water based zone that isn't just a swamp, or a lake. Something bigger, more epic... Atlantis-esque like stuff. Ofcourse to be able to traverse this land we'd need some way to breath water (or in some cases walk on top of it for faster travelling).. so you should give blue a target buff to enable it since specializing in 'mysticism' this sort of thing generally derives from something of that nature. You could also plant some potions in chests throughout the realm where we find other potions already, so its somewhat playable even without a spell on you.. though having a blue cast the target spells on you would be the way to go. You could always add air bubbles wherever to adjust difficulty. I would love to see a cp.. underwater as a small scale.. or even a bigger full scale zone like boulder size with islands and whatnot.

Ofcourse you can't breath underwater if your not underwater due to walking on it.. one buff would remove the other.

Just an idea.. not something i've put much thought into, but from playing oblivion i came to enjoy swimming freely underwater exploring while using underwater breathing equip and/or spells, or just running on top of it since running on it is faster then swimming thru it. I'm not blue, but both the skills should be for blue (mysticism).

Not really intended as a big discussion, i don't think many would be intrested here.. just figured i'd post and hope in a few months its considered even in a small way. I think it could be pretty cool.

I strongly dislike playing in water in CoP, so I'd have to go with a no here.

its actually quite fun to swim in water, you must be a bad swimmer :P

anyways i like this idea. I sometimes swim the lake in bg just to kill time because Zhul and Scorching Sands lags me and lately there has been alot of ppl leveling in Frigid Frontier so i leave them be with there spawns.

Also i think it would be cool to run from all the Hellion Mages by the 3 houses across the lake to where Snapjaw spawns

Well, this could pwn.

If any of you have played Champions - Return to Arms, there are certain water zones in which you can walk underwater, not just swimming. I think it would bring a fun spark to CoP as the game has nothing like this really..

Interesting idea. I like it.

Take it a step further and when doing a zone such as this, you could add a dungeon or whatever in some areas by making underwater caverns (with air obviously), much like you come across when scuba diving or snorkling.

Also take the cave idea and do a Cavern zone. Like such as in the movie "Journey to the Center of the Earth". Or Caverns like Luray Cavern, deep expanses of caverns that just have awesome stalagmites or stalagmites, or crystals/whatever that line the caverns, even the occasional still water ponds inside the caverns (usually crystal clear and have a mirror effect of what you see).

Endless ideas in both these new zone idea's.

Like the idea of a water zone, possibly a jungle zone too, safari type, mabye with some lions, tigers and bears, oh my:) Possibly the addition of quicksand to the ss zone would be kinda a net hang up from time to time, also maybe having that boat that sits in helmstead move to a location like sailing? Great game guys!!!:)

I like the caverns idea in which some lead into the depths of the center of the earth. I seen Journey to the Center of the Earth and its a very good example to the sheer depth a zone like this could have. Would make for some excellent quest lines.

Cave and water zone sound awesome but youre right we would need something that would let us breath underwater or something cause i have drowned quite a lot:)

Jungle idea could be interesting, but I think it would have to go as far as something like the amazon rain forrest, something very thick and dangerous. Probably would have no open areas or if it did, there would have to be very few of them.
