Pretty sure there's already Ice Fishing for the Winter Event - can you please expand that so we can send our hired fishers out to SoMI to do all the boring fishing so we can do other things? Thanks.
If you can't stand on a chest, it is a mimic!

and that's how it should have been. A secondary activity like the rest of the professions.

If you want non combat ways to earn money fine.. but it shouldnt offer SO much better rewards and AD making then dungeons either.. it was a big failure to not better balance these.
YOU CANT even sell anything of real value out of ESVA... ludicrous. FBI.. the rings are Cbound!
They have clamped down so harshly on dungeon loot, that players have no options left but to do things like fishing and hes to make AD..
Im not saying remove fishing and HES, but it should be the ALTERNATIVE method of achievement, not the primary one.
Cant we have both? or is that asking too much ?
Also your continued accusations and flaming responsese of basically calling anyone who doesnt like it, selfish , is unwarranted and unneeded.
There should be room enough for both..
Neverwinter Census 2017
All posts pending disapproval by Cecilia
there are too many categories of the same basic posture.
It shouildve been..
loved it, want more (positive)
Love it, but thats enough(slightly positive)
Hate it, wont do it. (super negative)
Hate it, will do it because of teh rewards (slightly negative)
Meh, its ok, but lets not do more. (neutral)
and a
Lets do a fish fry as we watch people hate on each other. (I dont care three farthings about any of this, I sit in PE most of the day anyways)
That wouldve been a better spread.
And also "technically" I wouldn't call "I can live with it but I'd rather not see anymore of the same" a poll result where people are supporting it in its current form, imo that is a vote on the negative side. So when you add those together its 65% negative. In fact you can probably count on one hand the people who think that how it stands at the moment is great, probably not even you.
Noone is actually saying that there is no place for fishing in NWO, we just don't like how it is at the moment. There is a massive difference between "has a place in the game" and "is the major component of the second part of Mod 10".
But definitely it needed to have the "These pretzels are making me thirsty"
What this poll doesn't show is the few dozen people I know who hate this sort of gating and grinding and have already left.
They are just driving away people at this point, so the polls will show those who remain as willing to do it.
I know for the fact that this forum is alot less active, as is PE.. as is most of the channels I have been involved in, the only thing anyone is running is ESVA.. why run dungeons AT all.. you can just go fishing and make more then running 5-6 dungeons daily.
The balance of the game is scewed right now, its making a minority happy, a majority as .. sigh we will do it and another minority, looking to leave.
What does this mean? its a matter of thier metrics, not our feedback, they dont care about feedback really.
If the metrics so a downturn on players while aslo a downturn in spending, they will look at the revenue stream and see where it can be altarted.
I see this as a Mini Mod 6 honestly, but instead of thousands leaving, its just hundreds.
when you do polling , you dont ask Every One, you ask a % based of people. As such it is fairly accurate with a =/- of whatever.. even if you say its 10%.. its close enough for most things to see accurate results of all players.
It really doesnt matter as I stated, they are not changing anything.
Lvl 28 on my Tera Brawler today though.. even if its not a forever game, I am having WAY more fun in that game, then I am in this one atm.. I will get a couple to end game , the dungeons seem fun, though only did my first 2 star one today, its not at all like neverwinter. You cant really pay for power it appears, and END game i level at top end appear to be matter of really small degrees in total,
people apparently look AT how many times you have run a dungeon vs your power total. What a concept right?
I leave you guys to this fishing and hes no skill HAMSTER, and I await a return of actual mmo dungeon play.
If anyone wants to join me, I am playing on the EU servers, mystel my first toon is Silverheart.
Everygame has its flaws, but I am not simply going to sit around here and worry about it, I will continue to log in and do certain things though.. as I am still planning a return , if they do make a MMO again. ITs still a great game, just not teh game I could endorse or play atm.
I do not give props to players for winning at fishing.. jeebus.
We should just be able to catch fish on our alts' profession slots, mail them to our mains and turn them in to the fishmonger so that we all have 5 rewards stacked up all the time. Of course, that would cut into sales of dragon keys, to which I say GOOD.
Fishing for treasure maps should stay out of a profession, as that would encourage botting.
Having BoA fish will prevent botting.
Adding fish to a profession would cut into the boring grind of trying to get 1000 stone of fish for a SVA key, and should not cut into the enjoyment/profit of those who do enjoy fishing in-game.
No, I don't want to waste a profession slot for this. If Cryptic implement it, they will make you to fish a week for 100 like getting an Unified element. It will also be character bound.
Note that: you should fish in the dedicated circle (which has fish jumping, a visible circle and birds in the sky). These
circles come and go. However, if your graphic setting is low, you may not see them. In that case, you may need to fish
where other people are fishing. Don't fish in the HE fishing circle which is close to the home base. You can get killed by a Turtle easily. As far as I can tell, nobody wants to do that HE.
When you first enter the 4 adventure zones (Level 60) you fight repeatable quest's that sometimes give a very rare (unified element) or rare (elemental aggregate) which can be used by professions. You'd think there was enough ways to earn relic's through the daily or repeatable quest, but fishing should likely be a new profession, especially with dock's added to the new River District.
Somehow I don't think I will be interesting in spending hour's trying to catch fish by myself in hopes of maybe landing a good catch while spending the whole time alone.

What is NOT explained very well for FISHING is that you must HOLD DOWN THE Q KEY if the LEFT ARROW IS INDICATED the WHOLE TIME until the next ARROW is indicated. Then you must also HOLD DOWN THAT KEY without releasing it otherwise you loose the FISH. It's bad enough many in game tooltips aren't as clear on explaining many game mechanic's as they shoot from how long a stack or ability often lasts to a variety of other things that can influence abilities, trait's powers, etc...
I admit I recently got into to fishing and while it's perhaps not the most exciting thing to do in the game it is a chance of pace that sometimes is nice rather than running just another profession. While I think fishing as a profession could possibly work I wouldn't want to take out the fishing ability in game either as it breaks up the routine a bit.
