fishing, why?

    With the patch 77 there will be avaiable a new crafting skill "Cooking" added to the other 4 (Alchemy, Etching, Armorcrafting and Weaponcrafting that will be renamed); The cooking skill will have as recipe some dishes and drinks for combat and other activities, this new dishes will have effect like the ones you craft from the Rootstock Festival (Lamb bulgogi, floretta soup etc ...) and most of'em will require fishes. So that's why fishing will be relevant and there'll probably be a vanguard daily for fishing with unique loot.

    Fishing , but no hunting...

    We also lack atleast 12 different crafting jobs, so we can fully transform into FF:XIV

    what's the point of fishing?
    what are the benefits ?
    i've read the patch notes and i'm still unsure

    You sell fish for material which you can trade in for certain stuff (forgot what exactly) and you also need fish for newly introduced buff food. The fish can go bad, just as in BDO, the fishing system really is just BDO ripoff to cut it short. Even the trade boxes you craft from the fish are 100% BDO.

    Yes, im sure BDO invented the fishing system, that fishes can go bad, that you can craft consumables out of fish. Sure sure.
    Let's just be quiet about the much older games that did that decades ago.


    Same as PUBG invented Battle Royal, right?
    Lets be quiet about these 25+ year old games that had already Battle Royal modes and some of these modes were even called... you guessed it: Battle Royale.
    Even the circles that get smaller and smaller the longer a game lasts were a thing 25 years ago.


    So please quit this "ripoff" bullshit.

    Tell me one current, successful game, with this exact fishing system - even the boxes, the spoil timer, the limit on daily sells and the exact same fishing minigame.
    Yes, BDO didn't invent it, but what a coincidence we use a pretty good clone of their system, to me thats a ripoff. You don't need to steal from the first in order to ripoff, you just need to clone anything that has been successful before.


    To me, ripoff means copying a successful system but leaving some features out - thats why its a ripoff not a clone.
    We still need realtime adjusted market prices with supply and demand factored in, but then again.. we have what, 10,000 active players on EU? Not worth it I guess

    Gaming is a very iterative market and there's nothing you can do about it, it's all about building on the success of other people's ideas
    BDO provided a baseline/benchmark, tera took it and adjusted to its needs
    Nobody got hurt

    You fish to craft more class specific consumables, I don't have the list right now, but basically is to kill lamb bulgogi in favor of these new consumables.
