I started a little discussion on IRC already, since i believe that the afk gumps while fishing should be changed. I think there is no real need for them, since you will have to loot MiBs/Nets/TMaps by hand anyways. The only "resource" which can be obtained afk are fish steaks at the moment. This would make multiboxing 3 fishers way much more comfortable too, since you dont have to rely on a 2nd screen to monitor them all. Overall a good change in my opinion. Any other thoughts to fishing? Lets hear them guys!
There's an abuse that can be applied were the attendance verification system removed from fishing. Unfortunately I have to be "that guy" and not go into details. However, I will triple vote for having the dog gone window not pop up directly over my character!
I think the AFK gump should stay. As above has stated, easy enough to abuse not having it. I think the ability to triple box, is advantage enough.
sure, its easy to setup, but this is not about killing the serps. I was talking about the looting part itself after they are dead. You cant setup a macro to auto loot them, as far as im informed.
Based on the one tournament I ran with my only fisherman, there are not enough AFK gumps for fishing. Also, in order to put it on par with mining, we need to add gargoyle fishing poles that you use in specific areas of water that have constant spawn in them and don't require any fishing skill.
I thought MiBs had locations, not nets, but I'm not a big fisherman. I was a big miner before it sucked dick.
Yes please.....different poles spawning different tiers/types of aquatic monsters time upon time until it runs outta uses and summons a bigger beastie at the end.
Gumps are slow (not on par with mining etc) because you arent gathering "real" resources. But gumps will appear to make sure you are semi-attended. I think what others "see" is a great macro that needs to be adjusted since others are at a disadvantage not knowing it.
The Gumps seem to be as random as Serpents to me, sometimes they seem slow and other times I say to myself.....really! this is F'n ridiculous! The one time I was Jailed while Fishing was a Gump popping up while I had two Deep Sea Serpents on my screen and I spassed out. I do wish the Gump itself was smaller and some of the "pick the one that doesn't match" pictures were a little more drastically different. I am always attended while Playing, Macroing Skills....not so much, but I am guilty of reading the Forum and glancing at TV and going "Ohh S***" looking back at the screen and wondering how many seconds I have to click that damn Huge Gump correctly!
Fishing via 3 fishers is too profitable in comparison to necessary playing skills and grade of attendance. I know that most fishers do something completely different while fishing (watching movies etc). Triple the gumps and make it riskier (Lootable PvP?!?!?)
The AFK gathering gumps....Do they ALWAYS show up in the playable game window or do they sometimes popup on the black area? Im struggling trying to get a decent location/size setup for my 3 clients while I fish to make sure I dont miss the gump.
When playing in windowed mode, a gump will not appear "off screen". In other words, you'll be fine they'll appear right over your character's head.
