fishing sucks and a whole lot more

[ghostdizzy]

Fishing: Before the new update I would fish like crazy earning LP and useing it to affored very expencive skills but now it is almost impossible to find good fishing spots and even when you do these areas barly give you any fish at all. I dont think that meny new players will survive without a partner or some really good luck at hunting rabbits and avoiding bears. I had a partner and we had to survive on eating taproots and ants. It was bad enough that they took the LP from tasks like cuting down trees or killing animals.

LP: Now that you do not get LP from doing simple tasks like Before the update doing sertine tasks seem annoying and unneeded. It has made me more of a lazy player then a good one. I have been going inactive alot more and for longer periods of time because of this fact. I think we should be able to keep the study skill but also be able to gain LP just like before.

Skills: Lastly with this new LP skill system set up it is almost impossible to get skills that are costly but useful. Now you have to overwork to get moves over 1000 LP especialy since curiositys (a little to lazy to fix spelling) take to long to study and there limit to them as well. Now i have to resorce all my LP acordingly and hope I dont screw up by geting something no good like (agein) fishing. Its too much of a hasle in my opinion.

Get exploration up, man. Blueberries are the shit now.

Considering that Int is now so desirable Fish is now easily the most desirable early food. Last world fish were everyware and only the lowest level of newb ever ate them other then things like Sturgeon and Plaice which had some none-int FEP. If it hadnt changed we would all be inhaling fish till we had 50 Int and they would still be worth almost nothing cause supply would still exceed demand. Now actually claiming a Fish node is worth doing and trading them a viable proffession.

And people would kill for a supply of fresh sushi.

Work involved in getting 1000 LP before: Grind dozens of dream catchers, wicker baskets, looms, treeplanter's pots, or other garbage items for the sole purpose of grinding LP. Repeat for several hours.
Work involved in getting 1000 LP now: Make a primitive doll, birch boat, maybe stomp a few ant hills. Find some more curiosities for later, do something productive for your settlement/food stock, or simply log off and you'll get your LP eventually without having to waste your time on repetitive tasks like clearcutting.

It's cool that fish have some value now, though it'd be nice if they were a little easier to come by. Then again, I haven't really travelled by boat much yet. Newbies have to eat rats and taproots to survive, they can't get yeomanry on their first day, and things aren't handed to them on a silver platter. What's wrong with that again...?

The issue with fish now is that we need actual fish quality nodes. Q10 fish nodes don't cut it anymore. So, just like clay, people are going to bitch about it not being available to them. They're being treated like an actual resource for some odd reason.

I'm living off rats and taproots that my food supplies were griefed (and my half built house and dryng racks and plow and everything else, arsehole). Gotta go back to square one almost. And for some reason there are no fish or spawning animals near me. And you know what...its awesome!!

Anyone ever tried surviving in the wild? Especially having no skills to do anything. Fun times ahead.
