Hi,
I've been fishing for 2 days now, and between the time it takes to get a fish + the number of times fishes eat your bait it takes forever...
Being alt-tab afk fishing for 45 minutes to get 10 fishes is not funny nor rewarding, and feels like I'm wasting my game time...
Could you lower the time it takes for the hourglass to fill ?

I frankly would like to see something akin to the Salem fishing game for both rod and standard fishing. It doesn't make much sense to have an activity that is essentially "Here, don't play the game until your inventory is empty of bait.".

Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

Fishing in Salem was the worst, though. I'm not big on the afk pole fishing, personally, but please don't even joke about that.Lunarius_Haberdash wrote:DamJNeT wrote:Hi,

I've heard this opinion a lot, can you explain your position? It involved actually thinking, some deductive reasoning, and a bit of chance. It was pretty interesting.Audiosmurf wrote:Fishing in Salem was the worst, though. I'm not big on the afk pole fishing, personally, but please don't even joke about that.
(Also - News flash, I think Rod Fishing is going to be exactly that or something quite like it)

It was a mini-game. Did not like it.Lunarius_Haberdash wrote: I've heard this opinion a lot, can you explain your position? It involved actually thinking, some deductive reasoning, and a bit of chance.

Wow... So your reason for hating it was precisely my reason for loving it. Got it.
I hate idle "do nothing" actions that basically have you stop playing the game, but until someone walks the path of puzzle pirates and develops a game like this that is nothing but interesting mini-games, it's what we get.

Some of us like that....... What makes sense to you might not make sense to others.

Re: Decrease fishing time ?
I thought there were two types of fishing rods, with two different kinds of mechanics, at least that's what I got from Loftar's post:

Haven't discovered it yet tho, maybe you need silk string or metal.

Re: Decrease fishing time ?
Well that's still a pain, it means waiting 20-30 min for half an inv of bait with pole fishing aka noob fishing... And yes, the problem is you are doing nothing meanwhile. I peronally browse forums for 30 mins... hmmmm
