  1. Your discussion on wanting battle content akin to the randomness element of Ocean Fishing just made me think of maps, probably the closest thing to what you described you wanted

  2. You didnt bring it up so i wanted to say this. For the seagulls and dolphins. When you see the Gulls you need to Chum and for dolphins you need to Release fish into the water to feed them. This is what will trigger the events once you see them coming.

    As for the pirate boat attack id like it but at the same time idk b/c i am a hardcore fisher and i try to keep the fish caught at 100% (difficult to do since they add fish damn near ever damn patch). if i have to stop fishing to attack pirates or something and it stops me from being able to catch the fish i need i am going to be very annoyed

  3. i like ocean fishing, tbh my fav part is the randomized cs and see what the game made everyone do. my first time doing it, there was an elezen who looked like a 80s hair band member, like van halen, was put next to me doing the power ranger dab, and im just chilling with ,my arms crossed.

    i just started to crack up. was not expecting to see that xD managed to get 5K points my first run, hoping next time i do it i get mount.

  4. Like honestly, Ocean Fishing was probably the best thing that ever happened to fishing. I don't think I would ever have levelled my FSH to 80 if it wasn't for that shark mount, and now with these updates, yeah I kinda fancy hopping in again just for fun. Because it actually is kind of fun, I learned that in Diadem of all places. Fishing is satisfying when you land that Big Catch(tm).

  5. Things need to be added:
    There should be freshwater boat trips.
    There should be a epic reward for getting all the fish titles from ocean fishing.
    If someone within a party disconnects that should lower the groups required rate for a fish title or its a smaller party the requirement should be lowered for the title.
    Phantom fish should count towards their title.
    Legendary fish should have a fish tank display model.
    There should be no actual fish items other then the super rare types that drop into your inventory.
    Longer boat rides with less cutscene transition in between trips.
    Lower the requirement on some fish titles since they're very rng based on your group.
    Ingame tracker & timer for ocean fishing que times and titles. (Can't do this content effectively without a tracker outside of the game.)
    Less static boat trips. The boat should be moving while were on it.
    Should raise the mim GP to whatever it is at lv90 and anything gear why above lv90 that increases GP should be added.
    Everyone should be lv90 fisher inside regardless of actual level. Like HoH levels.

  6. I wonder if they could do something fun like this for miners and botanists? Like, miners can explore maze-like caves or hike up mountain trails. Botanists could have a jungle expedition and have to cut through overgrowth with a machete and watch for coeurls.

  7. FF11 did it well, when they link fish that is used in recipes that are in demand and the player driven economy takes care of the rest. Fishing was fun and profitable. The arguments against botting is a bad one, because the fear of bots has ruined a good gameplay opportunity.
