Fishing Competition Feedback

After the fishing competition we sat and discussed it:

Great to see so many people here. Some notes:

• Immortalising Great Fish

  • Some discussion was had about having some way to immortalise "The biggest" fish you caught

  • Skin a fish and store it somewhere mounted?

• Storm Lightning killing people

  • People were generally in favour of this

  • New accounts creating storms was removed during competition due to alt abuse

  • Lots of spells were used removing storms due to the concern/risk

  • Only Samon died in the end!

• Fishing gear

  • No one found it apart from Ledah and Chewett (who had a lot of comments about it from Mur on text)

  • Maybe it needs to be more obviously there when you don't have the right tag?

  • You should be able to "return" gear to shared item locations

  • Generally people were confused about it, couldn't find it, didn't know it existed

• Fish Market

  • Some players commented it is complex but they will learn

  • People like the AP gain from the fish

• More Junk - Some people would like to see more Junk

• Historical competition results

  • People would like to see all competitions and their results somewhere

  • Maybe in the fish market

  • Maybe in the archives with the other logs

• Sushi - Nep would like sushi as an available option for food

• Pet Food - Fish should be created to be fed to pets

• Weather

  • Some people would like Weather to NOT be cancellable so you can't change the weather with a spell

  • Some would like weather to stack, So if you cast a spell it will apply once the current weather finishes

  • Some would like competitions with fixed with and a "forcast" of when it will be what weather

• Fishing Medal - The winner of a fishing contest should get a medal, If you win twice you get a gold medal and are excluded from winning future contests like Heads Contest (You can win, you just won't get a medal / reward and others will)

• Different Catching Minigames - Some would like to see extra minigames

• Crabs and Eels - Ledah would like crabs, Lobsters, and other crustations. Marvolo would like to see Eels

• Length of the competition

  • People felt that 48 hours was quite long

  • Some people suggested making it only 2 hours, but you could "pick" your 2 hours at any time during the competition

• Different types of competition - Some suggested different types of competition, e.g. biggest 5 fish caught

• Banning all spells / Killing - Some suggested banning all spells and killing during the competition to "force" fairness
