Disable fishing completly

  • Usually after an anomaly happens like the excessive lag it will persist until the server restart regardless of player count after it occurs and it will reoccur after a period of time if the problem is not solved.

  • Exploits are here to stay. You all had multiple chances to stop the scripting problem, I myself made 2 topics about this all you did was meme and whiteknight, it's fair to say that you all should ... shut the *sunshine and rainbows* up? Deal with it and that should be the end of discussion, if some cheat so can I and many others, it's only fair and just, eye for an eye.

    Regarding the lag problem you just want the side effect of the script to go away the lag/delay but it is not caused by this, it's most likely due to the very high number of players and the incapability of the servers to properly compute all the information that is being fed to them.

    Ever gave a quick thought about the fact that botters also increase the population of the servers? You probably didn't cause you wouldn't have written such a dumb comment if you did.

  • Dear Tsumuro the number of players I was referring to was the whole player base, every single individual or program.

    The automation program used for botting runs on your system not the server. Fishing, botted or not does not impact at all game performance serverwise, scripting has the same outcome, as I said above an anomaly may happen like desync.

    Bandwidth was also reduces by ISP(internet service providers) due to the COVID-19 outbreak where they saw a dramatic increase in usage since a lot more people stay at home and browse the internet, unlike before when they had spikes in usage during peak hours.

    Just to be extra clear, we can have in a scenario 1000 players online, not in a single place but spread out, all doing absolutely nothing and the server will have lag/delay if it's an internal problem.

  • They won't ban fish bots as they are required to flood the economy with gold and make farming waste of time so people that don't have much time already are inclined to sell TT so more profit for gameforge.

    Just check your global and see how much TT is going on these days.

    Sadly this is likely the case, since im yet to see a neffective means GF coudl enforce detectino on these bots.

    So what is your - gameforge - comment to this situation. Weeks gone since this issue was told the first time. Now we have thousands of fishbotters, map spots are camped from bots, the economy of the game is totally destroyed and the proxy problematic increases day by day and not a single cheater or bot was banned. So please, tell us whats going on here.

    the econoy part is on the mand BHS for making events like we had with thsoe insane buff foods for 4 whole days, in a game where you dont have any good enough ways ot flush gold out of the economy.


    for a game that has been taking so many notes from other mmo's like BDO/FFXIV, they skipped stuff that would actually benefit them and decided ot add the crap that generates gold without any checks and balances to control inflation.

  • Just remove gold from fishes and make fishes only sell able at the fish monger

    With a limit of 30 fishes per day


    This nerf fish bots Alot and all legit fisher still get some gold :)

    rather disable active fishing completely, since thats the exploit.

    make BAF fish'able by autofishing, let people exchange fishing rods for free to other rods of the same tier

    and remove active fishing. also half auto-fishing time.

    this way its no longer interessting for bots, since they can't use crap programs to gain profit faster than an actual afk

  • ie: having dro pstuff like repair mats/feedstocks but as a whole reduce the value of the fishes outside of being used for crafting



    if you really want ot keep fishes as a soruce of gold than make them only sellable ot the monger, but enchance it so there a broader limit for the legit fishers.

    thats a nice idea.

    or make baits only accessible through pve/pvp content. so you get them as vanguard reward. it would kill fish botters instantly

    Then you doing this x2000

    Cause of clientless, and then they are back and fish even more

    That's not a fix

    It's just even easier to make bots cause server does everything for you c:


    As I said

    Make fishes only sellable to monger

    Make a limit of 30

    And done

    Fish bots are gone :)

    OwO what is this... :'3

  • Hello everyone, please check the changes for fishing that were applied today in the servers here: Maintenance - 05/05/2020 09:00 CEST

    My YouTube channel (Inactive :elin25: )
    For forum: (1)I don't PvP nor I refer to PvP unless I specify differently(2)I don't aim to the best gear nor I plan to challenge the hardest instances in the game, I'm a relaxed player, get it?

  • That's not an answer.

    Why did EU ONLY lost "fishing" ?

    Why did EU ONLY is despoil from a part of the game ?

    Why did EU ONLY is not keeping this part of the game like the others country ?

    Because dealing with bots takes way more effort that clearly GF doesn't want to put? just a guess.


    Remember guys, when you can't deal with a problem, just eliminate it completely, never mind all the legit players that used fishing as a revenue, never mind them.


    It's like, how you stop car accidents? you make all cars illegal,easy fix!


    Personally, I don't care, I've stopped bothering with fishing anyway,but still, this is not exactly how you deal with a problem, but considering this is Gameforge I'm surprised they actually did something about it.

  • @threea

    Amazing changes, but now that you made fishing kinda worthless, would u consider adding some Angler Tokens into the 'Winning Ticket shop' like a pack of a 100 or just increase the ammount we get from fishing to make the fishing achivements easier to get, I hate fishing and to get the achivements you have to fish nearly 100k Angler Tokens <X

    Because other publishers are much worse than Gameforge and don't give a crap about their community. Be happy we got healthy price for improved feedstock and not 100k+ like on NA and we have custom dungeon like ABHM. At least they did something because it wasn't healthy for the game overall because how much gold was flooded into the market. Do you even play the game? people are asking 1:2000 for TT now. unknown.jpg
