Yes Salty is my preferred title because I like fishing and it's the perfect title for a squid (I mean draenei). But I actually disagree that fishing is becoming less patient driven. Getting fishing to 450 takes not a lot of patience. There is constant short-term reward (oh another tick, uh here is something funny I fished up, do old world pool achievement to break the monotony, visit nat pagle etc etc).</p> <p>Rather this is being replaced with things that for some, though not all requires a lot of patience. The one that didn't get away took me over 7.5k casts (I think the general believe is that the average is around 1k) if I remember correctly and made me vow to never fish for an extremely low drop achievement again. Well I didn't stick to it. Now I'm at way over 12k on the turtle without luck (here it seems that people converge on a believe that the average is 4-5k) and patient permitting I may fish indefinitely without any reward whatsoever. So yeah rare _is_ random, else I'd have both much earlier.</p> <p>I for one have never ever felt my patience tested so much as in the new system, not the old. But yeah, some may have been more lucky and hence don't even know that patience may be required. I certainly don't complain that I got my old ironjaw on my very first cast, that indeed didn't take any patience to do. That said, for many of us getting all fishing achievements is way harder than doing the old fishing skill leveling was. If someone doesn't understand that you simply got lucky.</p> <p>I like the BB contest. This is not a test of patience. It's a test of preparation, planning, swift decision making and some luck. But luck is but one factor and one can work to bend the odds one way and many who do the contest will see their fish counts go up with experience. Before I won I had two contests where I was 1 fish short - that's the margin of error the contest had when you are prepared and do all the right things. The new fishing contest is just Vegas though and I am only happy it's in the game because it at least doubles up on the chance to get a turtle as well.</p> <p>In fact the relationship is reversed now. If you are unlucky you need extreme patience with limited short-term reward. Yes if you are lucky you need no patience at all. So if the complaint is that fishing moves away from patience to luck I might actually agree. But from how it sounds there will be some skill added to the equation and frankly I'd rather work on things I can control than fish 10k pools for nothing at all (well except the ability to completely destroy the value of fish in the AH for a good while).</p> <p>So yes I hate the new system, nothing resembles disillusion more than weeks of solid fishing without any sign of reward or any promise that reward will ever come - but making skill leveling easier now and possibly removing it later doesn't move me at all. In fact I welcome it.</p> <p>Ultimately in terms of game design as a whole, the EQ model is dead. WoW has discovered that the time people have is constant, so if you add new stuff you have to obsolete old mechanisms to keep things to do in balance with people's time. Else the game becomes inaccessible for newcomers because they'd have to catch up 5 years worth of gaming to be where the original population got. A phenomenon not unfamiliar in EQ, and while relished by some, really a bad idea to keep a game community together. The WoW model is sustainable, but yes requires that people accept change and that old way to get to X will be replaced by a new way to get to X that may in fact be much faster.</p> <p>MMOs are about renewal. Yes we farmed 1 year of Molten Core 3 days a week for T1 sets. They are worthless now. One can focus on that and how unfair it is that people now get T9 for running heroics not requiring the wipes and patience and learning, or one can recognize that it was fun while doing it and look forward and appreciate the new content that comes ones way. </p> <p>On Cataclysm fishing I reserve judgment until I have seen it, but looking backwards won't be how I'll be judging it. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/33-no-trash-in-fishing-pools#post-7523 Mon, 04 Jan 2010 01:22:06 +0000 Shreda 7523@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>THIS SUCKS!

I was so excited I woke up my husband to tell him. He then spent the whole day hitting me with his turkey shooter. I haven't been trying to catch the turtle, was stocking up on Nettlefish and trying to lvl up to catch the Giant Rat. I did, of course mount immediately and wander around Ironforge, etc...<br /> I was in the center lake of the Basin when I caught him, and DO get the breath bar, so it has to be the pole. I had Nat's pole, sharpened fish hook, and that's it. I caught him about 5 minutes after reaching lvl 450.

I chose to go to the glaciers off of South Borean. Others were raiding but I decided to take it easy and do my usual routine fishing. It came out of a pool at the southern-most edge of the glaciers next to a small one. I used my fishing hat and one of the +100 glow worms. I couldn't tell you if it helped.</p> <p>I immediately mounted it and swam for shore with it and landed on the beach in east borean and took some screenies. He is definitely one of my favorites. I sit in Dal and pop him in and out of his shell. I take him off "run" and casually stroll with him.</p> <p>Btw, I had fished up over 18K items by the time I got her. My friend has her on 2 of her toons now, but she is just lucky that way. Some of us have to be more persistent. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/33-no-trash-in-fishing-pools#post-7291 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:38:32 +0000 Leny 7291@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I find this to be a horrible idea..... two things that kind of set me out in my guild was my habit for paying huge amounts for non-combat pets and fishing </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/33-no-trash-in-fishing-pools#post-7290 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 02:06:27 +0000 Gned 7290@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I'm feeling pretty abused over the new fishing changes.

(resat counters when it was added) and so far nothing. The turtle and STV is what seems to be eluding me.<br /> But I am persistant (read: stubborn), so I will continue to fish for it. In order to gather motivation, I am not going for the mount specifically, but instead set myself a goal of certain amounts of fish to catch. Fish I either intend to sell, or cook and sell.<br /> One day it could be 50-60 Angelfish, another it could be 70-80 Glacial Salmons. </p> <p>I feel that helps abit. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/biggest-concentration-of-pools-for-turtle-mount/page/3#post-7262 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:58:34 +0000 sooptime 7262@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Last night's fishing brought my total fish and other things caught up ~1200 to 16766. No turtle yet. A friend gained hers after ~8K caught. I fished all pools from Dragonblight around HF to GH in the East and back again through to Coldaara. It has been a bit disappointing but during my fishing experience I have paid for my chopper and several other items and mounts through using cooking and my fishing mats, so all is not lost. It's a bit frustrating because I need 1 more mount aside from my last Tourney mount to reach the 100 mark. Not one to give up though. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/33-no-trash-in-fishing-pools#post-7249 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:59:44 +0000 Durth 7249@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Oh I forgot to mention the 5 tab Guild bank and all the gold spent tipping other people for enchants and gemming and such.

On the other hand though its not like its really that easy to fish for this stuff without being attacked at lower levels. A level 1fishing glacial salmon pools is going to get hit by a bear or the opposing faction at the lumber mill. Lloot crazed divers are at the sculpin lake in Borean Tundra. Nettlefish ahve all sorts of animals runnnig around their pools. Im just not sure how this will all shake out. I dont like professions being easy. Going through the bs to get them leveled was the only thing keeping the market at a certain level. A lot of people just wouldnt bother but now its always getting easier and easier. Plus it makes me feel old and grumpy :p </p>
