When Genshin impact update diving system

If this happens, it will be the first time that I ever felt fear in Genshin.
You ever roll for someone and you’re on your last 10 pull and last chance? That’s my fear simulator
And on 50/50
And the 5 star is on the last position in the reveal queue
People don't skip that bs?
With less than a minute on the banner before it flips, so you can't even pull out wallet-kun.
And that kids, is how I got yelan
Congrats on the lottery
Got Nahida on my very last possible roll last banner with hours to spare. I've done all exploration, so there's literally no way I could've rolled any more without paying money.
I laugh in the face of most horror stuff.
But the moment the water goes over my head in a 3D videogame, that's a pretty quick ticket to nopes-ville.
Don't play BioShock
Subnautica is a real treat too!
BioShock was fine for me, even in subnautica i was ok swimming around the starting area because when i look down i see the ground. Then there's a point where the shelf drops off and you see jack shit and i start to get a panic attack lmao
I dont have Thalassophobia but that shit might give me one
What is even worse is when you are swimming down and you can see neither the ground or the light above.
True. Change my pants scary.,
Depends on how many horror games you've played. If you grew up in the 90s, playing all those old old horror games, continued through shit like silent hill, resident evil and stuff, Bioshock is a fun romp through a party gone wrong.
if it's first person I'm done. Infinite angles of attack and limited visibility??? FOH.
learned yesterday that you can turn off the "fog" in subnautica. all those leviathans started looking cute when you can see them from afar
It's definitely something to do with the combination of the murky visuals and 360 degree threats.
Have no problem blasting the hell out of tentacle horrors in the depths of space. But the moment that you can only see sets of glowing eyes and a hideous, malformed silhouette in the darkness, that turns straight chilling.
I had real problems even setting foot into the water in Morrowind, and there's like, nothing in it. It's just murky and rocky.
Man, diving into the water under the Lifepod during the night for the first time was... Not a good feeling.
You start off, it's all pretty and chill. Bubbly sounds, amazing synth-wave music, amazing visuals of shallow waters with caustics on the sand below, pretty glowing fish swimming past, bright sunlight reflecting off the fish schools in the distance.
But then you notice, wait a second.
The sun is coming down. Everything around you stops being so pretty and inviting.
And then during the first night, while you're hidden away in your Lifepod, in relative safety, you hear it. The roar.
You're not coming out until you can see sunlight through the top opening.
Dude I'm 31 and I felt fear, In the chasm underground mission, searching for Xiao. with Yalen and Arataki itto That mission was creepy and scary
It really was, even though you could teleport out again, do some dailies and get in again.
But whoever did that just never wanted to have any kind of immersion.
Yeah I did it in one sitting.
yea same, luckily it was daytime tho XD
The mission was so gripping I couldn’t help but do the entire thing in one sitting. I was tired and exhausted of just seeing dirt walls for hours but man it was worth it.
Immediately, you'd hit your map key to pause the game and teleport out.
Turning off the music and exploring the desert ruin with only the ambient sound is a pretty creepy experience.
When stare into the abyss and the abyss stares back but nothing is more frightening than a reaper leviathan first encounter
I remember my first encounter. I had just returned from my first (and unprepared) exploration of the island with the alien structure. And the moment I got into my Sea moth, that monstrosity attacked and grabbed me.
Scared the fuck out of me
I'm shocked you made it that far before encountering one.
The crash site begs to be explored first and it's got multiple reapers around it.
Ikr. It probably could be cause I played the game a bit oddly. Like, I didn't know how to build the Sea Moth for quite a long time. And I actually explored the crash site with just the glider. I didn't return until quite later
I could see that. If you bee-line for the west side and hug the shallow sands up into it and get lucky... You could completely miss the reapers especially if you're not in the seamoth.
There's like 2-3 of them hanging out under the back entrance, and 1 just off the west side of the ship of the path you need to take to get there. & If you happen to go around the front first (I did) there's one or two there too!
Once that water starts getting murky I turned the hell around lol
As i ducked and shouted "what the f**k"
I tried playing subnautica as exposure therapy for my water phobia (for literally any body of water I can't even take baths lol), but I remember genuinely crying out of fear and quitting the game forever after the first time I saw a reaper leviathan. Even when I tried playing on creative mode (so I'd know they couldn't hurt me) I still couldn't do it. It's the scariest game I've ever played tbh; stuff like silent hill and outlast are terrifying, but nothing invokes such primordial fear in me as much as fish do.
"Well to try some exposure therapy for your phobia we decided to show you the thing you are afraid of and... you know... just CRAM IT FULL OF HORRIFYING MONSTERS!"
Holy fuck my poor soul
And then you come back with a PRAWN Suit drill and grapple arm.
I CRAFTED THIS STASIS RIFLE, IM GONNA USE THE WHOLE STASIS RIFLE
I drove off the map and encountered the big ghosts before I saw a reaper. One swam in front of me and took the full screen of the sea moth, I was scared
This ecological biome matches 7 of the 9 preconditions for stimulating terror in humans.
Plus music, the music always gets me...
But the Traveller has already fought worse - e.g. Beisht who's literally an underwater god hydra with 3 heads
But they didn't fight it in the blood kelp zone
fuuuuck the blood kelp zone
Seriously I still get claustrophobic when I think about passing my Cyclops into the lost river through the blood kelp zone. That place is a fucking nightmare without the sonar module.
They didn't fight it underwater though

diving down there and scaring my ass for 5 primogems

Every time I see the last digit is 8, I scourer the all of Inazuma and Sumeru for 1 common chest.

for other OGs the comment says:

Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?
Not the navigator trying to talk sense into you while you enter the abyss.
Noooo
You can run. You can hide. But you can never forget.
Man, getting that message right by the sink hole, looking up and seeing one PASS BY OVERHEAD.
This is the one game that still has permanent real estate in my brain. I enjoyed what I played of the second one but once I finished it I was done. I have gone back to the first one a few times.
I would lose my actual mind.
I was looking for this comment.
How'd you do that?
"Warning: Entering ecological deadzone. Adding report to databank"
I can hear this comment
"Traveler... Are you certain whatever you're doing is... worth it ?" -Paimon
Multiple leviathans detected!!! I can hear this text.
Adult Eidon Wyrm Noices
Underwater wenut
Noo dont give them ideas D:
U can’t escape the inevitable, but can U find a character that can counter it is the real question
Yeah, wallet-kun and card-san
Underwater abyss.
Only specific characters can be used underwater.
WeNut underwater
Except this time there's a little water core that can only be destroyed with electro damage (kinda like the wolfheads)... and when you do... it comes up for 5 seconds before going back down... oh and did I mention that they'll put it in abyss?
Perhaps multiple if they are not the boss
Yeah.... and they'll also spawn little Oceanid animals that you need to defeat before being able to damage the actual cores

Ah yes, the deepnut

Underwater abyss
Subnautica and Genshin crossover memes are the last thing i did except from this sub
I love how this excellent game has become the shorthand for deep-sea horrors beyond our comprehension
I love how Subnautica balances the horror and fear with wonder of the sea and exploration
Bringing back BAD memories the first time I went "beyond" the zone... on a damaged cyclops...
I went there 4 times thinking there is a big alien species facility and lost 4 seamoths then I knew what the heck was i doing with my damn horror mind.
leviathan class life form detected. Are you sure what your Doing is worth it?
I have this fear and admiration of vast open spaces where you can't observe the end of an area (so the oceans and space). So I'm really excited about this if it's true.
Paimon casually floating underwater
isnt that swimming?
Swimming would be using your limbs to move underwater. Paimon is probably being propelled by whatever force allows her to float.
Ah yes, more fodder for my thalassophobia, just what I needed, thanks!
Genshin x Subnautica, the collaboration nobody would expect.
I do not want subnautica impact IDONOTWANTSUBNAUTICAIMPACT
I do.
terror while in view of my husbandos is not a fun time. Ayato must be protected at all cost 😭
Nah send that dude to vietnam
If they add large enemies to the underwater zones (underwater wenut would make me shit myself out of fear) I'm genuinely going to have to pay my friends to log in to my account and do the content for me lmao. Subnautica is the scariest game I've ever played and I have not so much as dipped my toe in the ocean ever since I tried it
I have a phobia of dark water. I fell off a boat at night when I was little and after that yeah if there is water and its dark I'm staying away. I will be giving my login to a friend if it's bosses in dark water.
Floor 12 room 2 second half
Like after the transition, it switches to 1st person mode and it just tells you to survive lol
"We don't want to induce anxiety into our player base."
"LIEEES! LIEEEEEES!"
She went to the Ecological Dead Zone
Or as l like to call it, the Void
The Abyss, if you will
Thanks 👍
I hate this
Funny thing about underwater exploration.
In ToF, it has underwater exploration and they added an entire sea for that update.
Now they have underwater caves and stuff but there is an area just below the sea surface where you can just barely make out the underwater city aside from the lights coming out of it.
That area has some real thalassophobia vibes since you can't see the floor except from places that gives off light. But those lights are just blur hues from a distance.
Now that I think about it, I don't think our chars have undersea flashlight so its kinda wierd that we get good visibility of our surrounding when we are on the sea floor.
Odd that in there, the surface world and the under are treated like 2 separate regions, once you go up to surface, you can still drown like anywhere else
Are you about to drown while swimming? Just dive. You can't sink from exhaustion if you're already underwater *taps forehead*
That's really weird... well, drowning in ToF isn't same as Genshin that's instakill anyway
Its because they don't want to remove the drowning mechanic. As for why we'll never know.
The pelican (basically the seaglide) has a flashlight, actually. But other than that, yeah. No clue why visibility no matter the depths and distance is so good. But I ain't complaining though cause exploration is already a massive pain in the ass albeit enjoyable with how massively expansive the Innars is in a completely omni-directional plane.
What is ToF?
Tower of Fantasy. Its a MMO Gacha.
Oh okay thank you
I think you should have put the whole name on your comment, ToF isn't a very known acronym
Imagine using cryo only to get yourself trapped in a block of ice
Thanks, I hate it.
Subnautica is the first non horror game I've got scared of...
When going out of the map, it's no longer Paimon stopping you, it's these Ghost Leviathans.
Bring nahida to make an atomic bloom
Imagine instead of "How about we explore the area ahead of us later" we get this
😭
hahaha— nope 🏃💨

No! AWAY!!!! SHOO!!!!!!
Don't give them any ideas as just using the waverider my thallasophobia triggers slightly. I do not need a deep dark underwater part with a boss suddenly approaching from the depth giving me a heart attack.
Not related to Genshin but this takes me back when I tried to built observatory base near each hostile Leviathan class monster but the reaper leviathan and ghost leviathan just disappeared after both observatory base was complete except Sea Dragon Leviathan
Honestly could happen. We did chase off Beisht to who knows where.
Oh no it’s Osial’s long lost brother
finally, a funny genshin (subnautica) meme
Genshinautica?
In Subnautica these were scary because you were helpless.
In Genshin, I just call upon Raiden's Mussou no Hitotachi.
I mean, she has experience with creepy under sea critters.
Dont forget about the rule of: "the boss when you unlock him as a playable character"
That’s what c2 is for
Meanwhile beidou mains and the lore accuracy: "oh yeah just like old times."
You would think this is bad, i just hope i can find a Cuddlefish then 😍
Never thought I’d see subnautica and genshin together but I love it so much
imagine having the abyss 12 underwater!
New Fontaine Gadget: "Detecting multiple Leviathan class creatures ahead-- are you sure whatever you're doing is worth it?"
Oh god I hate this
I don’t know guys let’s just wait and see,1)we might be able to dive in very specific areas and for limited time 2) underwater battles might not be an option at all 3) we don’t know for how long we will be able to submnerge,it might be for seconds like swimming where our character gets tired very easily.All I’m saying is let’s just wait and see.
Man I really hope we get underwater exploration and combat and it wasn't just a lame ass cutscene for marketing purposes.
It’s funny I’m seeing this now. I’m currently building a base at a really cool spot in the Grand Reef and a freaking ghost leviathan in the area will just not leave me alone.
I don’t wanna kill it cause it’s really pretty to look at.
I feel another Osial coming
Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region, are you certain what youre doing is worth it?
THE GOLDEN AGE WILL RETURN AGAIN
This is literally me and my homies every single time we went diving into the ocean in ARK Survival Evolved... It was SO freaking scary every single time man.
The Arknights seaborn will be invading
For Abyss player, Hydro Wenut
Is no one talking about how hard it would be to program water physics when diving down large bodies of water, let alone water physics on the surface for any open world game?
It's the reason why games like Dying Light 1 and 2 are extremely CPU-intensive. The programming for the water/fluid physics for those games are extremely well done but my god do they take up a lot of RAM.
Comment deleted by user
Maybe they won't program water physics and just have it be the same as before with ponds and lakes, just now you can dive deeper to move through a non-collidable blue body with individual fish models swimming through?
Horizon Forbidden West has amazing water physics and looks stunning on top of it!
Maybe we'll find Lagiacrus underwater
If the diving system really gets implemented then the mobile version would at the very least be 35 GB in storage size
Would Piston still “float” underwater, or will she finally have to put in some leg work?
I’ll cry
Man. Its the warning that gets me everytime. Like literally noped everytime i heard the warning. The only time I just had the courage was when I am in my Prawn suit. That suit gave me courage. Aahaha.
Oh shit Paimon, we have landed on B-Genshin-nautica
Ishar-mla… even in this world you follow me still
Me: Tries to go deeper,
Paimon: How about we explore the area ahead of us later ?
hoping hoyo will update the sea gap between liyue and inazuma for a more sea exploration. i dont think it's likely tho
plot twist: that's actually paimons true form
I can already see the reaper leviathan mods
WANDERER, GET THE PRAWN SUIT AND DRILL ARM, WE HAVE SPECTRAL NUCLEI TO FARM
Adult Eidon Wyrm Calamity Mod Be like
I hope this happen.
Oh god thats not genshin. That my friend, is subnautica
Subnautica Impact
Adult Eidolyn Wyrm has awoken!
holy fucking shit,
This is amazing
Imagine abyss, but underwater
I kinda miss the time when we had to shoot down Stormterror while flying. Thought we’d see more of that but it turned out to be a one time thing.
"Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?"
Subnautica players: "Just like in the simulations!"
If Fontaine has trips to the abyssal zone, it'll be quite interesting. We already basically explored what the surface part of the ocean is like in Inazuma, so Fontaine being where the underwater is, I hope we don't get stuck to reefs, let's go to the Marianas Trench of Teyvat and explore what kind of creatures are there that the Hydro Archon has to keep sealed.
Ahh the best mix of the best reddits- oops I mean games XP
Everyone else: Cool. New diving system. Must explore Fontaine!
Me, stuck in Liyue archon quests: Cool. New diving system. Must explore Inazuma!
genshin if it was a good open world game
Warning entering ecological death zone report added to date bank
tbh there probably will be an underwater worm boss, we know how much hoyo loves their worms
Genshin X Subnautica Collab 🤣
Genshin has diving now?
You know just one boss is gonna be like this and I’m gonna guess it’s gonna be the Hydro flower. I guarantee there gonna add a hydro flower and it’s gonna be underwater.
Replace the Ghost Leviathan with the Gargantuan Leviathan and you’ll be screaming bloody murder.
You think these are scary? Play Rain World and find the aquatic centipedes, let's see if you still fear ghost leviathans after seeing those things
Iron lung vibes
Made in Abyss but in the abyss oh god the abyss
Subnautica Impact
Surrounded by hydro im electrocuting this bitch and taking him with me
A crossover I never expected: my favorite game and my favorite unhealthy habit.
They are going to have an excuse to add another Osial’s relative for Lantern Rite.
Entering Ecological Dead Zone
Mmmm flashback time
Gotta play Subnautica again goddamn
“It’s not that I’m afraid of being alone in deep water that scares me so. It’s NOT being alone and not knowing where they are that terrifies me.”
Me finally leaving the safe shallows after 12 hours of gameplay
We’re definitely getting an underwater boss
