User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Discussion of the Week: Underwater/@comment-5020152-20170407180436

1) Yes, I absolutely loved underwater. The description above already explains it - the addition of undersea hunts opened the floodgates (pun intended) for a huge new variety of monster concepts and ideas made real. Plus, being able to hunt monsters in an environment completely alien to human functioning makes it feel even more like you're at a disadvantage, which is what makes each victory so satisfying!

2) YES YES YES YES YES

3) The Lance was easily my favorite weapon to use underwater, despite how slow it was. Switch Axe wasn't bad, either.

4) Ugh, the S+S wasn't all that great.

5) Mounting. How would underwater mounts work if water combat came back?

6) Gobul and Lagiacrus were both so much fun underwater. I loved how much more difficult Gobul was in the water, and I loved how much more imposing Lagiacrus was underwater. They both provided great challenges that I had lots of fun conquering. (Plus, I have to mention Plesioth, who has been my favorite monster all the way up until Generations completely ruined him. The Tail Whip is pretty annoying underwater, but that's really his only flaw.)

7) Royal Ludroth wasn't all that notable. Goldbeard Ceadeus was repetitive and the Horizontal Hydro Cannon could get SUPREMELY irritating.

8) The Hermitaurs and Ceanataurs, please. It'd be cool to swim around them as they scuttled along on the seabed.

9) #MakePlesiothGreatAgain

10) Deserted Island, baby! Hells yeah!

11) Flooded Forest. While I like the amount of detail they put into the environment, all those weeds made the murky water so much worse in terms of visibility.
