I know afk farming is frowned upon but lets be real, nobody likes fishing, it doesnt require any cognitive function as it is, and making fishing automatic where your character just reels fish passively would be a good qol addition for several reasons.
You’d be able to let the game run in the background as you do other things, this is good for the game because there’s more people playing = game seems more alive = more people join.
Abyss diving will be THE way to farm in the future so this is also good for poor players who cant go to the dark sea yet or dont have a diving set.
Ya, I think either this or having to play a small minigame even so your brain doesnt turn into mush would be nice… Besides… OUR CREW CAN ALREADY DO IT…
At this point just make fishing more entertaining, I get that fishing is supposed to be something to turn your brain off, but if I’m turning my brain off I would rather be doing it watching a video/movie instead of looking at an unmoving screen and clicking when I see an exclamation mark. I mentally cannot spend time fishing.
ngl farming growth saps in cernunno’s forest or clearstones is surprisingly more relaxing than fishing, but I guess that’s because I can feel the reward much faster than trying to get something out of the fishes, so that is where I turn my brain off
I’ve got an idea. What if there were fishing hotspots? They show up around the sea, and fishing in one will yeild far better rewards than usual. A hotspot would have around 15 catches able to be made in it before it’ll disappear.
This encourages players to go out and sail to find a hotspot, which beats sitting still, but without making it obsolete.
