There are certainly some interesting ideas for a lore-based approach on that front, and I love the brainstorming so far! Perhaps you younglings returning to Verra simply lack the seafaring technology to reach beyond the depths...yet ;)
Ah, thank you for clarifying! We'll be sharing more details on the archetypes and classes you'll be helping us test during upcoming phases as we get closer to kicking those off, so stay tuned for more details as we share them on our website and here on the forums!
I'm going to go ahead and close this thread out now, but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's anything else we can assist you with in the meantime!
