Mm I suppose, I could say that's the reason why I don't level up my char.. but I'd be lying.
On a search to find the meaning of life... Oh wait, to get to level 450!

Re: Ideas thread 2014
show everyone on the mini map. show them in lime green? keep party members orange.
this way it's easier to see if someone else is hunting on the map you're at. if i see someone hunting, 95% of the time i leave and let them hunt.

I am considering making fishing back to the way it was - ie jam a nickel into f9 or whatever it was ... thoughts?
Re: Ideas thread 2014
I would leave it the way it is but instead increase the number of rare/odd things you can fish up.eggmceye wrote:I am considering making fishing back to the way it was - ie jam a nickel into f9 or whatever it was ... thoughts?
I remember fishing up paintings in UO. Maybe add those as well as other decorative oddities that can only be attained from fishing.

Re: Ideas thread 2014
i wouls love to AFK fish. i missed those days of being able to do that. i hate paying attention to hit TAB. or, i guess, not really AFK, but watching a movie or something. I'd like to watch a movie and still do something useful.

Re: Ideas thread 2014
If the concensus is to revert fishing, then I would recommend that the frequency of maps be dropped even further, or even removed. Instead, a wider variety of fish could be made available.

That would be nice just to make gathering food less of a chore.eggmceye wrote:I am considering making fishing back to the way it was - ie jam a nickel into f9 or whatever it was ... thoughts?
But agree drops probably would need to decrease...
Any way to use the old way for fish only, and have the tab aspect pop up for possible drops?

Re: Ideas thread 2014
Were you even around when the old fishing was in? It wasnt a good way to obtain maps. Decreasing their frequency when its already lackluster would be pointless.Severian wrote:If the concensus is to revert fishing, then I would recommend that the frequency of maps be dropped even further, or even removed.

Re: Ideas thread 2014
Yes, I was. And the frequency at the moment isn't that bad. The frequency should be decreased if fishing is reverted.Onyxt wrote:Were you even around when the old fishing was in?

Also, if the general sentiment is that fishing is a poor source of maps, then a decrease in the frequency of maps shouldn't really effect anyone's expectations when fishing.

The frequency isn't bad for you because you use a bot 24/7. The normal player isn't going to be on for a week straight doing what ever it is you do while you're on.Severian wrote:Yes, I was.

Re: Ideas thread 2014
you are on quite a bunch on different servers all the time, and feels like 95% of the time AFK. I'll try to ask you a question and almost never get an answer.

Re: Ideas thread 2014
A frequency is just that, an expected rate of occurance. My opinion regarding the frequency of maps attained from fishing is based on empirical observation, and is, in my opinion high (about 1 in 20). Please leave my how and when I play out of this discussion.Onyxt wrote:The frequency isn't bad for you because you use a bot 24/7.

There is no rule that says you cannot be AFK. And there also isn't a rule about having to reply to people (just because I don't reply to your messages, does not automatically imply I am AFK). This is a discussion about fishing and not about how/when I play.EmoMage wrote:you are on quite a bunch on different servers all the time, and feels like 95% of the time AFK.

Edit: By the way, I recommend a new rate of 1 in 100 for fishing up maps. I recommend making this change now, regardless of the decision to revert fishing to the old mechanism.

Re: Ideas thread 2014
On the topic of fishing... Maybe make fishing in rough seas (which would require a Ship in a Bottle) have a higher chance of getting better things?

(off topic: something wrong with my audio drivers made the default robo-voice for the microsoft ease of access center into a creepy demonic voice that doesn't speak actual words. This thing was running in the background when I switched back to EUO and had died, and I thought egg had put in some kind of horror game aspect. Got especially creepy once I went back to the title screen and it was still grumbling in evil tone beneath the music.)
on topic: Old fishing was great.

Re: Ideas thread 2014
i like how defensive you are over just one thing, not only that, you throw big ass words at me that i don't comprehend because of the highschools in my area.
NOW, i LOVE how you "reccomend" and practically demand (IMO) that he change the game because you "ASSUME" that it's too high. I personally think the rate is fine. on PD, i can fish for a couple hours and get 10 maps or so then do those and maybe fish some more, that is NOT a high rate of maps. and more of an opinion from me, you have over 1000 of each map, or so you say, so why does it even matter to you? you seem to have everything in the game. you can dress any new character with the top of the line equipment because you hoard so much shit. in an instance like this, where the "little people" are trying to maybe work up and get a few bucks or so by afk fishing and get a few maps or something, doesn't mean the "bigger people" can come in and ruin it. i think your nose needs to stay out of it anyway, only because you seem to ruin it for everyone else to make you look more "god-like". if you'd start playing like everyone else and stop being so stuck up on what you have, maybe people wouldn't talk so much shit about you. me and you have done a lot of business over the years, but on this particular occasion, i think this is an argument you need to bow down from and leave.

Re: Ideas thread 2014
(1) I am making recommendations, not demands. (2) The rate is 1 in 20. This is not an assumption; it is an observed frequency attained through extensive testing and good record keeping. I don't pull unsubstantiated values out of thin air the way you do. (3) Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but unlike you, I don't need to flame others to get my point across:EmoMage wrote:i like how defensive you are over just one thing, not only that, you throw big ass words at me that i don't comprehend because of the highschools in my area.

1 in 20, with one cast per 6 seconds on average will net you an expected 1 map per 2 minutes, which equates to 30 maps an hour. This is even better than looting treasure chests, which is why I am saying the rate is too high. Plain enough for you now?
