BUNCH OF LIARS !!!!! Oh, and fishing greifing tech

General Discussion Started Last reply 39 posts
Greetings,

Liar liar pants on fire ! So many lies, you people are akin to fishermen. Your stories are sweet and delightfull, but what really happens is HELL (hence when the Devil steps in).

Lie #1 : C4 hardware upgrade to bear with server loads. Muahahahahhahahaha ! That's CRAP. Hindemith now shows FULL ! And I sometimes get kicked by the server to make way for new players (Kick the friggin shops you idiots !).

Lie #2 : Fishermen guides. What a joke. These guys are fishermen without a doubt, they lie more than they tell the truth. First of all, they speak of different types of lures attracting different types of fish. BULL CRAP ! I've tested this over several levels of fishing, and always using 10 lures of each type per sample. The type of fish you catch with a certain lure is PURELY RANDOM, not related in any way as all those idiots guides claim.

Lie #3 : They also speak of different fishing spots... What a crap attempt at trying to get bots not to fish. Like they can't move and fish different spots automatically... Sweet fishing spots should be there... Get some excitement in fishing. Right now it's only related to fishing skill, so basically there are no variables. How can you be so static in a fast moving world ?

I'd suggest you make fishing gear that would actually make a difference (lures, rods). Rods should affect loot, so this way you could still get fish gems and thin bones even if you a high level fisherman. Or make reverse crafting recipes, wich make 1 shiny fish gem into two regular fish gem, or something of the likes.

Make more common recipes available to the general public. Come on, fishing is for everybody, why should have to have a clan hall to have recipies ?

Make some fishing gear. A fishing hat that would make extra damage, or how about a pair of gloves that incrase conversion rate.

As it is now, I will make myself a few "target" fishermen, for goodness sake a lvl 12 fisherman can pull a 50K adena fish if he lands a 2 fish gems (Big Yellow nimble are good).

Oh, and lastly, the fishing greifing... LOL, that was hilarious. Fishing is a highly social activity. You meet the weirdest people in that context...

Some peeps were trying to greif fisherpeople by trying to bite on their lures. They also tried to distract fisherpeople as they had fish on their lines...

Of course, you don't beleive me, so here is a screenshot... (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/darkmotion/baiters.jpg)

I said fisherpeople because when they realized I could still catch fish, they just moved to another fisherperson... Just gives a new meaning to the term "baiter" doesn't it ?

Yeah it would be nice to get recipes somewhere else. Someone was (and most likely still is) trying to sell a recipe for +4wit/-4men tattoo for 1 mil. Say what? You need a recipe for each tattoo you craft. Why hassle with crafting when you can buy the tattoo outright for 400K from players or get it from mammon even cheaper.
Greetings,

You hit the nail right on the head.

As it is now, it's not even worth it to want to craft anything, lest you want your hard earned adena for some COMMON craft recipe.

Common my *** !

*puts on monocle*

Hmmmm, Ahhhhhhhh, yes..... Your numbers are faulty, my friend. There is a problem. A big problem.

O RLY ?
Ya RLY.
No Wai !

Yes. You see, this crafted item bears my name on it, so it's TOP quality, but in your hands it is stolen property.

*Puts crystal dagger under victim's jugular*

Huh, well, I didn't know. So what now ?
Well, you better leave here, before I decide wether I kill you or ?"/$!?&! you.

Ok, cya bud.
Ya, cya.

Fish griefing? That's hilarious (and pathetic for some fool in A grade). I'm glad to see you think its funny too, Dark :cool:
fishing sucks. really poor way to make money. wasted opportunity.
It's something to do besides grind.

Besides, it's sort of an accomplishment for me to say "HEY! I have 86 inventory spaces and I didn't buy jack for them."

But then again, I've been known to take the long way around.
yeah I like it, as Im all for things that aren't grind. But I do think it has many failings. The main one being, I was excited that I could craft my own swift attack and fast cast potions, farming all my own fish mats. But my fishing is too high to get any of the junk that goes into them. I think that instead of having a 50% item conversion, they could have a 50% chance that you get items = to your fishing level, and a 50% chance you get items lower if not much lower than your fishing level.

Also I'd say DM is right. They said in that tutorial video that different locations gave different results. But From my extensive fishing travels I can say that is definently untrue.

and is clan hall really the only place you can get comon craft recipes?
only thing I noticed from diff locations is you get more or less bites. inside aden town I lose my baits very often cuz no fish will bite. and outside aden, in the rover, it like 99% chanse I get a fich on the hook.. was I just unlucky this time inside aden town or did someone else experiance that to?
Actually just yesterday, I lost 5 baits in a row, cause there was no more fish to bite. Then I moved (actually I turned a bit to the right) and it was going all easy again.
What I fail to understand though, is why the bait is lost, if there is no fish biting. I never knew, that fish could be clever enough to fiddle the bait off the hook without biting. Such cleverness should be reserved for Cats.

I got my hands on a bunch of recipes yesterday and guess what... I will never be able to craft any of them. All the potions require materials, that I cannot fish anymore. I get purple fishes at the least and if they do not just vanish (for which the probability is WAY to high), they give Shiny Fish Gem, Thick Bones, Premium Oil, Shiny Fish Scales or key material.

Unfortunately for the potions like GHP, GHaste, GMHaste you need Greater Fish Oil and Fish scales (without shiny!).

About the opening of fishes, I would love to see more diversity.
Right now, I can get 2-4 Premium Oil... or no oil.
Why is it impossible to get a couple Greater Oil or just regular Fish Oil ?

The loot tables for fishes could be so much better. They would crowd our inventories like mad, but hey, that's what fishing is for. At least that way a professional fishercat could gather all ressources, not only the big ones, which aren't even needed for most of the consumable crafts.

This is kinda as if Animal Bones would not drop or spoil beyond level 20 and be unavailable in Manor at higher levels too.

Seriously, what did I get for raising my fishing levels ? I cannot gather the materials, that I wanted to get any more. Fishing Proofs for yourself will easily be enough after a few days, so why keep fishing ?

Shark Kitten
so you really cant catch the recipes on the very last level of fishing?
:mad:
CH only.

NCSoft likes CH owners even more than nukers.
Well Schmusekatze, if you don't like the recipes, i know a dwarf with a low fishing expertise that would appreciate them ;)
Or, as long as he stayy that low, maybe you would be interested in exchanging the guts on a 1:1 POCF basis :P

Yours truly (tho dog loving)
Tjaldin
I'm sticking to low lvl fishing expertice...I bet in the future low lvl items are going to raise in price.

I really really was looking forward on getting myself a healing/haste/swift potion recipie for my common crafting but the only CH owner rule is just idiotic.

And about full servers...please...please, kick the afk stores not the players for crying out loud. I got disconnected in a middle of a fight yesterday...

A piece of advice to all...stay away from giran...you´ll lag till disconnection...in fact stay away from any city.
Yes, the biting rate in Aden is much lower than outside Aden. I lose around 40% of my lures there. In the lake south of Aden, I only lose 10% of the lures.

CH only.

:D on both counts...

I opened the item creation window in our clan hall (after I got fully buffed and a massage) and I was stunned to see all the recipes... some selling for a pittance.

Then I took my uber mage self to Rune and lvled for 2 hours with only one brief rest and then logged so I could see southpark...

Good times... ;)
Greetings,

What a crock. Some peeps are selling recipies for 500K... That's just nuts.

CH users, buy a few common craft recipies and try selling them overnight. Price gouging FTW...

Isin't love just a crazy game ?

Oh, so I see you commented on lie #1.

Now can you comment on all the fishermen NPC lies ?

And how could you intice people to hunt recipies with fishing skills, where all you get is crap.

Misleading, and mean. Just about your style.

There's a fine line fishing and standing on the shore looking like an idiot.
I think that was a Steven Wright joke from way back when...
Hell... I'd love to hook my cougar onto a lure and see what I can get with that!

What a pleasure to see you, Rich.

Walking the fine line, as you know, is my pleasure...

Man, I'd bait stupid people to attract bigger fish...

I hope Lionna is fine, as my godchild Marianne.

Well, some peeps didn't think it was funny. I got a PM from a Core clan officer, telling me their members had been warned about this "greifing".

To tell you the truth, it was hardly greifing. I think these peeps (as well as many others) just went nuts when they saw me and tried to do something funny so I'd talk about them...

There are ways to REALLY greif fisherpeople, and trying to bite on their lures is NOT one of them. I won't speak directly of these greifing techniques, because I don't want them to spread.

Once again, sorry guys if you got grounded by your officer.

Has anyone noticed any farmers fishing?
Me Rice, me good. Ni hao.

>.> yes, they fish like any other. Lots of automated fishermen out there >.>


Of course, you don't beleive me, so here is a screenshot... (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/darkmotion/baiters.jpg)





Dark I'm not the official spokesdog, but I can assure you that your screenshot has been on display in core's forums with a rather stern warning to the accused. :confused:
best way to make money, selling fish SS. dont even have to fish hehe.
well, if your on devianne (which your not nanana) ill trade you recipes for being my fishing bodyguard.... those flava things i keep catching really hurt, and my poor elf's crystal staff doesnt do a whole lot in the way of saving her life T.T Return2 ftw? ...and yes, my clan has a hall, the only one i see selling common craft stuff is well me, buy my stuff! ..i sell em cheaper than that orc over there O.o
I dont make money anymore...i just figured id go till im out then quit

Look peeps i dont want to be known as the price Gouger. But if your willing to pay 100k then fine i'll set the price that way. But on the same hand if some ask ask me for the recipe and doesnt mind paying me what it acuactly cost then i'll sell it to them . I am a new clan hall owner And i liek to be knwon as the friendly but stern guy. Dont mind sharing. Or selling items but i ahve to make a profit the hall isnt free. Its pain Just to sit there buy a recipeand you only get 1 per hr.
Per the whole the whole clan. So it kinda free for rigth now. I will regulate my clan hall prices in the furure. The hall isnt free. If your ON SIEGHARDT server and you want a recipe for common craft I have the following trades are welcome.
12 types of dye's all +4/-4
Greater heal pots
Great swift Attack pots
Greater haste Pots
Greater Magic haste pots
Also Hair Pin 2 types, and they cost me great deal so dont be complaining about the price
All hair changes recipe no one seems to want them fell free to buy at cost for 1 week starting today when i log on at 4pm cst
Cougar pet ticket Cost a bundle. 1 per 24 hrs
Other than that there Delux strider food,Bsoe clanhall,soe clan hall,soe to Gludio,gludin and these aint cheap.
So there you have it If you not satisfied on The server i play with the prices I place then dont pay it. I go with what the market is wiling to pay. Or how about a pm and asking if you can get that just 5% over cost. I'am about the easiest going clan leader around. If you ask me hell i may even give you the dam thing been known to do that on more than one ocasion. So thats about it I have to say for now. Any comments please dierect them to me here or Redstealth2 of Midnightexpress I you think the prices my clan is chargeing is too high then send me text. There wont be no set price till March Iam just following the market demand . Thanks for listening and enjoy l2 I am for sure.
I'm in Core and I've seen the warning. A stern one it is. DarkMotion you are correct. The fisherman are liars! The lot of them should be hung at the gallows. Fast fish, my rear end. Bunch of random scrubs. Bah! :mad:

Actually I kinda found a way around that :)

Either sleep them or root them...unlike normal mobs, they disappear after a short while. (Tested this a couple times with my SE who takes a beating too)

Yes, this is true. They go away after 30 seconds, so all you have to do is survive a short while.

Now how stupid is that ? Why is this feature designed this way ? This only helps bots.

If you fish up a mob and don't react, you should be killed.

Never managed to root not even sleep them.
My root and run tactic is reduced to "run and battleheal" ... I FEEL NERFED!

But when they disappear you loose chance they drop 3 A fishing shots on death! (And you loose a chance to drop BW tunic on your death :D )

OOOOOOhhhhhh, what an interesting comment...

Make the stupid mobs be less magic resistant, since they spawn in your face. Furthermore, change the **** loot tables on these things, because you guys are just being stupid.

Give rewards like special lures when you kill the mobs (**** I use high grade lure, I kill the **** mob, and he drops a medium grade lure. Get bent, fish). Give the quest item baits, to attract treasure chests. And how about giving shots of relevant level.

A fishing map for a treasure, a piece of a fishing hat, make these mobs interesting... I know you can do it...

a small crazy question does or doesnt it matter which grade rod ya use or whut skill lvl or even whut kind of bait ya use or?
Yes, rod does more damage and bait gives better rewards.
Aww Dark you look cute with a big head. ^_^
With my BW and Bunny ears, the big head makes me look just like Alice in Wonderland.

Weird. I use a b grade rod and when I kill the mob fish it always drops high grade lure, even if I was using medium. O_o
