Fishy

[Ryaca]

Allow players to fish items up to 751

Fishing was OVER NERFED

I can reasonably agree that 1k 1500k and 2k items should not be fished and I would not suggest for those items to be implemented again

compbatant originally added fishing at one time where all items were available so he must have thought that was a good idea at the time

I would really be interested to know why he one day woke up from a deep sleep and all of the sudden decided to change fishing

Did he come up with that idea all on his own or were there others whispering poison into his ears

Agreed

As posted in another thread:

The items were never supposed to be in fishing in the first place.

[Ryaca]

So how did they get added and why were they in the game for so long

They were fishable for over 2 years

Just curious

[MadMagus]

Ah, I understand my confusion now

The way I understand it is this:
Fishing was basically made in such a way that it automatically included items it shouldn't
So, some items were never meant to be there....


Now I see your point.
Yes, it would be nice if fishing nerf bar was raised - as I said before, I miss talking to certain high levels you'd never see otherwise.

I think fishing should be able to provide you with a "not bad" set of "backup" gear, but the best items should not be fishable IMO.
Where to draw that line?
You say 750... I'd say it could go a little higher maybe, especially if more gear was added (a la variation)

[Ryaca]

Thx Mad for explanation

I agree with you completely

To be honest i don't think fishing should provide any items at all. If anyone wants a item just go and grind the monster lol and get drop.
If at all fishing should provide anything that should be raw material for crafting like worm skin or devil hide or minotaur hides or ancient armor piece or any other item which has no use in itself but can be used to create/craft other items.
Fishing should provide what is available in the sea like fish or rare fish. If any item is present in the sea for too long then how can it be in its original shape. It must have degraded by the salt and water. An armor might have degraded to may be just a piece of ancient armor.
Or a spectre wand might have degraded to just dust .Or a shoe might have degraded to just hide. And so on.
So i think only raw materials for craft should be provided by fishing rather than the item itself.

Fishing was a nice social moment , the opportunity to get good stuff made It fun with friends,and,honestly,financed my play for a long time. For this i m still convinced should not have changed.

at first most of players said that fish should be nerfed , especially the high levels. And now you are asking for a change. Yes I see it and I agree but when you were asking for a nerf, did you think about what would happen? I think that 1k items or even 1500 would be fishable. And leave the 2k items like now. The actual system of get 2k items is good. Now coming to my first point, when you asked for a need did you say how it will be? I saw a lot of +1 but I don't think that no one said what lvl of items should be fished. So now this is a good point about think. Maybe let fish up to 1k? Would it be too much?

[hungry_wolf]

I think ANY should be fishable, % of getting decrease with the level of item,but an opportunity should exists.
Maybe 2k items mechanism works well, maybe 1,5 k works well, 1k are only craftable with lowest %, lot of trouble getting materials,no portal, no chest,except weapon and gloves.but this is another matter,not strictly connected to fishing.
