Fishing Net/ Cast Net.

[DwarfTank]

Player name Snoop-Dog asked me to make this post.


He would like for there to be a fishing net added to game, such a net would increase fishing rate to catch more fish, he has suggested maybe making the net able to catch 4-6 fish at a time.



All are encouraged to give their thoughts on this idea.

Thanks on behalf of player named Snoop-Dog

Would be good for characters that toss fish ... but not for others.

I vote no.

The immediate thought that pops into my mind is that this would increase fishing speed by 4-6 times, or some other variable. Gear fished is supposed to be uncommon-rare (this is when someone pipes in with the percentage like most players should know such things), so to keep the rate the same it would likely require dividing that rate by the same amount, and that would mean people without the nets would suffer.

As with the others here, I would have to vote "No". Between the concerns regarding the fishing of non-fish items, and the accelerated rate of fish acquired for ogre pvp, it seems highly unbalanced.
Well, if catching 4-6 fish took 4-6 times as long as regular fishing, it wouldn't make any difference tho, would it? Also, how would such influence the growing of fishing skill? 1 point per catch, similar to building? Idk. Seems like a way to complicate things without improving them, in my opinion.
Even if the net had a 0.000% chance of catching items, and fishing skills weren't raised by its use, the ogre aspect would bother most players.

I vote nay as well
