Suggestion Title: Fishing V2 Update.
Suggestion Description: In my experience, a lot of players on perp love fishing. The only issue with fishing, is it is boring and not worth your time to do it. The only people that seem to fish, are people that are being social and hanging out with their friends, or if you are the mayor/secret service for a side income. I believe a major Fishing Update would really benefit the city, and I would love to see this happen in the future.
This Suggestion has been made from the ideas of myself and many other people in the city I have been talking to about it such as: Maya Peterson, Alebassi Carrot, Rachel Sock, Dick Harris, and the Server Developer GP.
The suggestions below are NOT for everything to be implemented, but instead various ideas of the direction that Fishing could go
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The current things we are unhappy about in the current fishing system:
- Only being able to hold 15 fish can be a pain, not just for when you are fishing, but also when you are transporting fish from storage to a shop/npc and vice versa. RAW fish should not count towards your "food" category and this should instead be a separate section so you can hold more.
- You should be able to fit more fish in your Storage so fishing becomes more viable when doing it in more remote locations that you do not have access to storage or a NPC. The weight of fish should change from 2KG to 1KG. This will double the amount you can store in a chest from 50 to 100.
- Government employees should not be able to fish up illegal goods. When you are mayor it completely stops your fishing as you are not able to pick up illegal goods such as the Zip Ties and Combat Knife. You can not dethatch it from your fishing rod, and you need to wait for a cop to come confiscate it.
- It is very easy to get stuck on the hooks of the fishing rods when picking up fish, please fix the colliders on this so it is not as painful when you have lots of rods.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ideas that would be a major improvement for fishing:
- Add a Fishing Mission for players to complete, when starting this you are told to go to the fish shop and buy 1 rod, and then go to the beach and fish up a fish. A lot of players do not know that Fishing exists, and this would be a great QOL thing to add.
- Add more various fish that you can catch, be this rare fish or just different types to make things interesting and exciting when you catch a "rare" fish.
- Add more furniture and rare goods you can catch other than just the crates and statue, this will make it exciting to fish and let people do it to catch these goods. Make these goods Fishing Only so it creates a demand for them and allows people to sell them to other people at the bazaar.
- Add a Fishing Skill (1-8) that each level gives you higher odds of receiving better rewards and less trash. There will be more information about this below.
- Add a Fishing Leaderboard that allows players to see who has caught the most fish. This will be very fun and allow us to compete with eachother.
- Potentially add a "Drinks Vendor" to the beach, to allow us to immediately sell our fish, and buy drinks/food while fishing. To my knowledge the general idea is that the Beach is for storage, and Lelitos is for Selling, this might not be the best idea.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fishing Skill:
1-8 levels.
Make this hard to grind, and takes a decent amount of time to build up.
Make it so you only get XP for YOUR rod if you are the one that takes the fish, as a lot of people drop their rods for their friends and leave. This will prevent people getting XP for their friends fishing for them, and prevents one person getting lots of xp from their friends rods being placed for them.
Each level has new perks/chances. Levelling up will improve:
The speed at which you can catch a fish
The rarity of the fish you catch
The chances to get rare good is increased (guns, crafting materials, furniture, etc)
Lower chance of getting “Trash”.
The chance of your rod being stolen is reduced.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Again, this is just a idea of things that could massively improving Fishing. If you have any ideas or would like to talk about it, please let me know below and I can try add them to this post.
I would not expect every issue/suggestion to get implemented, it is just a idea of things that would improve it.
I have not mentioned the price of Fish, as I believe this is perfectly balanced at the moment, it is not that much, but also not that little.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. This is stemmed from a document I wrote up with all my ideas: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mDk8sEsZ5GPP6JAazbEfWd7W37WG5WSUpZ4x-l1JcCE/edit?usp=sharing
I then used these ideas to talk to various people and developers to decide what would be the most beneficial to the city and what is realistically possible to be added.
Why should this be added?:
- It would bring a lot more interest to Fishing. Many people love the idea of Fishing in the city, and everyone I have spoken to would love a Fishing V2 update. With such a beautiful beach and beach huts being added in V6, a Fishing Update is definitely what we need!
What negatives could this have?:
- It would take developer time to implement.
What problem would this suggestion solve?: N/A
