Fishing!

Ok. You might think this is mad.

I'm looking forward to fishing in AOC more than anything else.

I'm going to look for an economic node then go nuts on fishing.

Anyone else really excited for fishing?

No afk fishing!

Semi-afk bait fishing would be great for when you get back home from work and want to be productive in-game aswell, but are too tired to do anything that requires a lot of focus.

The actual fishing (where you can use the bait) has to be interactive, action-based and NON-afk ofcourse

Like in BDO the entire coastline filled up with AFK fishers c:

A section of my guild in Archeage were constantly fishing. I know they enjoyed it immensely, for me there are too many other things I want to do. I hope they get it right for Ashes and AFK fishing is only a very small part of it, or even no AFK fishing at all.

Havent played BDO long enough to experience that :P

I do hope there's some depth to fishing atleast. Different kinds of baits you can/have to use, different fish in different weather settings or season. Etc etc.

I also asked for it in my thread " Ibarumarky's Question Collection"... but more specific about fishing a.d cooking event.

Fishing is a must have. If we sail.... I think fishing on high sea could be interesting... in a high fantasy mmo

Afk fishing is only good for the stats, so you can say, look we have 5 mio logged in.

Im planning to live in a coastal or even island node, fishing will be my daily life, together with mining and juwelcrafting.

AFK Fishing is a no-no for me.

The least amount of interaction for my taste is what we see in Minecraft. Common/generic fish.

For medium level fishing would like to see a generic bait system (worms/grubs, insects, or raw meat scraps). A generic seasonal spawn table would help. Less generic, more specific fish.

For more complex fishing(rare alchemy mats, raw food for high level food buffs) I would like to see specific baits and areas be required to catch the rarest of aquatic creatures.

Would like to see a sport fishing type mini game for fishing. no afk fishing.
Make the fish themselves worth while, either used for oil's for Scribing scrolls or for potions / rare cooking recipes.
Trophy fishing or fishing events should occur also.

Fishing on the high seas promote sea conflict if the value of those lil guys are good. could also make the areas that you have to travel for the good fish more dangerous.

It would be nice, if the farther you are out on the high-sea, the better or more unique is the catch. Maybe fish a shark to the surface and then you actually have to kill it. That would bring in so many possibilities for sea oriented nodes!

I never understand why people like fishing so much.. I hate it.. They give you a boring way to get fish and fish are almost worthless.. I only leveled it in WoW just to get the bar full or help leveling cooking.. I’m curious though was there ever a game where the fish had a lot of worth? I preferred the whole afk fishing thing but I really hated seeing a 1000 players at the beach like a pile of bots pretty much. The only fishing I liked in a game was Terraria and Zelda Ocarina of Time.. where even though terrarias was boring as hell it had a quest to go legendary fish at a certain spot and was more rewarding with crates of goods you could use and the quest rewards weren’t that bad either.. Ocarina of time had some fun fishing wasn’t as rewarding but it’s almost a guarantee that that sort of fishing won’t be in an mmo lol.

I enjoy fishing in games that is rewarding, relaxing, not super engaging, but yet important to the economy.

@Beardo
Fishing was pretty important in WoW classic for an example! It was an easy thing to do in you downtime and yiu could always use it for food.

Fishing in MMO's.

I hope they create 2 stages of fishing.
Stage 1: Semi-afk bait fishing.
Stage 2: Interactive fun fishing.

That could potentially come into play via the naval system. Like if you fish on the shore, you might be able to go into "afk" fishing mode (maybe like bdo?), but when you enter the seas the fishing experience becomes a lot more difficult.

Perhaps it could also have something to do with the knowledge gathered in different areas that contain water filled with fishes. Maybe if I have spent a lot of time fishing in a certain area, it will over time become easier and eventually, I'll be able to just afk fish? Idk, just a thought

I did like in the BDO system you "learned" new fish and tidbits about them, how you grew your encyclopedia.
I liked in EQ how you'd pull up not just fish but other objects.
I like the concept in Ashes that fish can be used for several crafts and can also be sold for coin (as in several games).

I'm hoping that there is the more casual fishing that isn't too difficult and sort of relaxing to do where you can chat with people, and then the more "sports" fishing style.

I'll admit, I absolutely loved the fishing in ArchAge and I hope the fishing we end up with is comparable. I wasted a lot of my time doing that whenever I could, and skirmishing with people who tried to steal my or other's fish.

I loved taking people's fish in Archeage

Hello all;) wish list for fishing:
*Be able to change into a little kid (not a teen) version to go fishing. It is more fun as a kid than adult when go fishing.
*Best to have players to go search for an unusual random hint/sign spawn in the water to have a chance for a fish bite. It is boring and easy for people to run bots if they can just fish at the water without searching for some kinda hint of fish going in the water.
*Please let the big hard to catch fish drag the fishing kids all over the place, while he or she try to reel it in:)
*Please create a good fishing market. It is a boring game, if what we spend time and effort end up dropping on the ground, because they ain't worth much to sell.
FishOn;) thanks
