Some questions to those who explored Underwater locations:

1. Which way did you get your underwater helmet? Idol of crafting, using titanium ore. 
   
2. Did you find an oxygen balloon? In dwelling, behind big door underwater.
   
3. Did you manage to explore all the underwater locations that you discovered? Not yet.

8. What is the most annoying thing about underwater locations? Stalagmites are hard to find.
   
9. Do you want the future development of the underwater world? For future story locations, yes.

Some questions to those who explored Underwater locations:

1. Which way did you get your underwater helmet?

- I just puted cobalt ore on crafting idol (another player give me some tips about it), I will never figur it out by myself, because after few crappy items the Idol craft for me (even from best metal) i just give up with crafting.

1. Did you find an oxygen balloon?

- no, just heard some rumors about it.(I found doors in my Dwellings, but cant open it)

1. Did you manage to explore all the underwater locations that you discovered?

- most of them (some of them are deadly without extra oxygen -like spider den)

1. How many underwater locations did you find and where?

- Every place where the "bubbles" are in the water (my towns, NK, Keepers Village, Heralds Home, etc)

1. Did you find any secrets underwater?

- Secret dungeons in New Kiev (thru four underwater cave), secret place in Heralds Home, secret way for island in Keepers Village (thru underwater cave, then I find out how to go there in normal way.)Secret cave in Dwellings (with "vault doors"), secret cave in Muscard Marsh, secret cave in Spiders Den (be carefull-  that one is loooong, I drowned without extra oxygen). 

1. Which of the underwater locations you liked the most and which the least? Which was the most challenging?

- It is simple, I like the most that locations which brings the best goodies (so far New Kiev dungeons).The last-  underwater without anything special (like few of my towns, Muscard Marsh etc). 

1. How did you like underwater locations in general?

I have really mixed feelings. It is something new in one way, but in the another, there is no info in the game about it (at all). If one of more expirienced player didnt give me some tips, I will not know even how to make helmet. Im still dont have oxygane tanks.also the "red flash" underwater sugest that you will die in seconds....later you realise that is "normal". The info about oxygane is also not in best place (first time I missed that becouse I was in alliance chat -so no info at all).If I can sugest something, better place to info about oxygen (more visible), and this "red flash" should start when the oxygen is lower then 25% (some extra visual warning). Also some info (on technology screen) how to make helmet will be good.Sometimes is problem in game with exit from some locations (like Sanken Library, when you have low air it is extra stresfull). 

1. What is the most annoying thing about underwater locations?

No information (about helmet, oxygen tank). Also this blue dirty filter makes things harder to find. In normal locations there is ton of useless stuff like Day of the Merchant -almoust nothing interesting (nice stuff only in secret locations).

1. Do you want the future development of the underwater world? 

Yes.

1. If you have any suggestions or ideas on this topic, feel free to write them.

Like  i wrote above. More info about diving equipment (no I base completly about gossip, so for example I enchance my Diving Helmet (sombody told me -do this 6 times) and now I have "magic" diving helmet....best to attack town or go fishing ;-) but still no oxygen tank.Better gifts in normal locations (at least 1 per locations, without it -there is no need to go again uderwater in own towns). Maybe boxes (every few days like it is normal in town)?More info about oxygen level (more visible).

When I research it and start diving I'll be sure to let you know.  :-)

Some questions to those who explored Underwater locations:

1. Which way did you get your underwater helmet? crafted it with idol
2. Did you find an oxygen balloon? No, not yet
3. Did you manage to explore all the underwater locations that you discovered? I have quite a few, but still have to do spider forest
4. How many underwater locations did you find and where? Karfaree, NK, OH, Muscard, scorpion barren, HH
5. Did you find any secrets underwater? I have opened chests, and found new areas on the map
6. Which of the underwater locations you liked the most and which the least? Which was the most challenging? I disliked Muscard, maybe because I haven't found anything yet. Just going from bubbles to bubbles. NK was very challenging to complete without extra oxygen. Have enjoyed fighting monsters alone.
7. How did you like underwater locations in general? graphics are beautiful. Wish the water wasn't so murky in places and that the bubble exits were easier to see. Took some time to master time constraints, but have gotten pretty good at conserving oxygen.
8. What is the most annoying thing about underwater locations? difficulty seeing and time constraints of oxygen loss
9. Do you want the future development of the underwater world? yes, enjoy the extra content at a time in the game that is slow, waiting for research to complete. I would prefer the storyline advancement, but in lieu of that, this was a good alternative.
10. If you have any suggestions or ideas on this topic, feel free to write them. I think you know we have all struggled with how to open the vault in dwelling underwater. A hint of some kind would be lovely. Most of us have tried numerous combinations of stats and perks without success. Also, make oxygen more readily available even if it is in the extra chests. Visibility has to be improved. Loved the new content. Keep up the good work.

We have had similar surveys for the:

• Opposition Hideout
• Keepers Village and Ruins of the New Kyiv
• Karfaree
• Caves
• Dungeons
• Anomalies
• Cultural Figures
• Places of interest
• Mines
• Thornsville
• Gypsy Tabor

They were quite helpful so if you haven't filled up those, it would be great if you will do them too.

Which way did you get your underwater helmet?   Crafting, after trying chests, monster drops and excavating.

Did you find an oxygen balloon?  I need dynamite, for that darn door.  I also have tried different combinations of stats, perks, gear and artefacts.  (dynamite, C4, a nuke, I just want to blow it to hell!!)

Did you manage to explore all the underwater locations that you discovered?  I still have a few, to finish. I am taking a lot of screenshots, as you don't get a lot of time, to search for turtle shells, etc.)

How many underwater locations did you find and where?  My towns, HH, KV, NK, OH, Karfaree, Muscards, Scorpion Barren, Infested Habitat and Minor anomaly.

Did you find any secrets underwater?  I found new areas and some chests, nothing that posted "secret found" though.

Which of the underwater locations you liked the most and which the least? Which was the most challenging?  OH, meet a new character with a great story, then NK was an interesting challenge.  The puzzler in me liked all of them, even when I died or struggled to find rock-a-holes, etc.

How did you like underwater locations in general?  Marvelous, great work, cloud locations next?  A little less murky would be prettier, but I can live with it.

What is the most annoying thing about underwater locations?  Having to wait until Renaissance and that  pesky door.  Is there more than One location, for oxygen balloon?

Do you want the future development of the underwater world?  Yes, definitely.  Most of us came to TT2 for puzzles, this fulfills a deep inner need, for MORE PUZZLES  :)))

If you have any suggestions or ideas on this topic, feel free to write them.  More new monsters, maybe based on some of those from TTG (nostalgia), water drops, stones, flying eye balls, etc.

Some questions to those who explored Underwater locations:

Only suggestion so far is perhaps the option for more oxygen? Only just started these areas so not sure yet. I understand some players are frustrated at being stuck in a particular area but I'm sure someone will find the answer soon, hopefully :)

Your hero needs to be xxx days old, to get through the door.  Ask in CC, I am sure some nice person will pm you with the actual number.  Plus a little help, with anything else that is driving you round "the bends".

Some answers with my diving heroe:

1. With crafting (cobalt ore) -> I suggest zweintein could give some tips about it because it not easy to guess)
2. Not yet; i know it is behind a door in my dwelling and will have to await 120 days for my heroe -> Zweinstein could be useful with some tips about it : i already imagine him with a diving helmet and a duck buoy, it could be fun).
3. Yes excepted 1 with a too long path (oxygen needed).
4. Probably all of them : * in all towns and all spots / in Herald's home (i like the new areas to discover and the ghost with his story) / in Opposition Hideout  -> Bulat (with a diving helmet of course) could give tips about is your heroe is able to fight alone or not. / in New Kiyv(i like the sunked librare and the puzzle with armours) / in Karfaree (i like the long maze with worms (Bulat, where are you when I need you for your tips about those worms when I am alone ? Your diving helmet is so beautiful and fun) / in Minor Anomaly (2 levers, 5 turtle shells - a little too easy) / in Muscard marsh (Very long path but some items to gather or a new place or a puzzle is missing) / in Water anomaly (some good items to find but some items to gather or a new place or a puzzle is missing) / in Gravity anomaly  (very few things to find in a chest, too short path and nothing else) / Infested habitations (nice path, i like the ladder to come back; probably a new area to discover could be fun) / in Lava anomaly (3 paths to explore, 8 rock-o-hole to gather for a chest).
5. No secret found.
6. The better underwater locations for me : it should have some paths to explore with new areas to discover when i come back and some puzzles (like the 4 armour for instance), some levers to activate or some items to collect. The worse underwater locations have very short paths with some useless items or only a tiny chest already ready to open.
7. I like if for old heroes who have already all explored. It could be a convenient way to discover new area when you come back to the surface of an area you have already explored many times ago. Some beast like ghost with his story are fun to discover too.
8. The "red screen" could be more discreet expecially when you 100% or 50% is remaining. Some bugs, when you came back on the ground and the oxygen level is always decreasing : my heroe died 1 time and I had to come back 2 or 3 times to avoid death in this case. 
9. Oh yes thank you. 
10. We already have thorns, ice, slates and other items to block paths and discover new area later. Diving is a convenient way to access to island in our towns. i suggest that some fog could be cleared and we could find some goodies, like we already do with earthquakes. In dens we could discover new areas with amazing graphics or new character, or new puzzles. In mines, we could have underwater rivers with some collapse as we had in 1 mine (no need to kill our heroe ;) and in dungeons, there are already spots with water so it could be logical to explore them and discover new areas too.

I hope my ideas will help and ty for upgrading this game with our new ideas : i know it is a hard work.

If ever you need translations in french, feel free to ask for my help as I usually help for some softwares (IObit, PGware, et cetera).

Here is what I liked and wish to see more, I don't care about the rest:

- I absolutely loved the puzzle with armors in new kyiv (except the fact that hero has to move near each one to turn them just like cultural figures and so many other characters/objects in the game, I guess each time there can be monsters in a location you do that to insure that hero can actually move there but still you overdo it overall), I wish that you make more puzzles like that, they seem quite simple to design and even more to program and unlike the one in gypsy tabor it's not already in many other books/games.

- I liked places where the hero has to fight alone, it's way more challenging than with an army with which even 8 green dragons are not a problem and it makes artifacts with things like "+10 damage on creature" that are otherwise almost useless, interesting here, by comparing which one is the best against current foe.

- I like that underwater is often an alternative way to bypass the obstacles than having a high level hero for the right tool.
