You will need armor and bathing suits to do well in Guild Wars 2. Or armor-plated bathing suits.

ArenaNet posted two new developer blog entries this week, revealing more details on the dungeons and much-touted underwater combat system in their upcoming MMO.

In the first post, Lore and Continuity Designer Jeff Grubb shares some new info about the different ways to tackle dungeons in Guild Wars 2, which will have both streamlined story modes and harder, more open exploration modes. In the second post, Game Designer Jonathan Sharp explains the deep systems they have in place for underwater combat, which will involve using entirely new weapons and skills and have water-based situational effects, like causing your attackers to float to the surface or sink to the ocean floor.

It sounds pretty rad. You can check out the two posts here and here, and join in on the crazy hype for what’s looking to be a pretty innovative, fully-featured MMO from the Bellevue-based developer.

ArenaNet also held several press demos and a Guild Wars 2 Fan Day at their offices last week, so expect more information and previews from their game soon.
