Fishing in the game?

Always loved the fishing in FFXI.  Anyone know if they have stuff like this in-game or plan to?

    Dont think so. Doesnt fit the IP or what the game is about. Maybe a long way down the road as another craft or something.

    No fishing but there is cultivation.  You plant a seed and grow it into a useful item.  Can't go into details about how it works because of the NDA.

    Don't listen to this guy, watch the podcast from a couple months ago and it tells you all about cultivating.

    I'm a little disapointed at the professions they've shared with us so far, I mean I always like crafting to be immersive and have many options.

     

    I have seen about 6 professions total I believe (migh tnot be entirely correct),, 3 gathering, 3 crafting, and It's just a little disapointing at the choices there are.

    However, I'm not sure if they are holding back on us information wise.

    If you say that the crafting in this game aint immersive and doesn't have many options then you should really search some info about this stuff. Crafting in warhammer isn't like the normal crafting systems in other games.

    He asked if there was 'stuff like this'.  I would think cultivation is in the same general category as fishing as sort of non combat, non standard tradeskill type systems.

    It may be better then WoW, but it isn't near as complex as EvE, Ryzom or SWG-Pre-CU-NGE

    But I am sure it will be a nice diversion when you are tired of RvR and PvE.

    agreed, and honestly, I hope and assume it will be more fun and engaging then fishing in WoW :p

    Yeah they freak me out too, when people RP to me I get kinda freaked, lol.

    Fishing has no place in an MMO unless they can make it involve something more than watching your avatar fish which is boring as hell.

    Mark Jacobs did a bit about the crafting, sad bit about it for me was no armour or weapons are crafted.

    Well the fishing in WoW was awful and pointless.  Fishing in FFXI was an awesome money maker and actually very involved.  Different baits for different fish, different rods for different fish, different lakes/ponds/streams for different fish.  It was the shit.

    Same could be said about the tradeskills in-game.  Its WARhamer, not CultivatingHammer.  Its WARhammer, not SkinningHammer.  Its WARhammer, not TalismanHammer.  Its WARhammer, not ScavengingHammer.

    Wow actually does allow you to make money, but I agree FFXI is a much more fun kind of fishing.

    I dont find it weird at all actually. Its rather refreshing and entertaining to read posts made by people trying to put their imagination to use for a change. I find it rather depressing that few people bother getting into character in these mmos........it shows what kind of unimaginative & uninspired people get attracted to these types of games. Then again WAR isnt exactly geared towards the creative type I guess.

    Urtok what you wrote was rather good and put a smile on my face. Ignore all the dull witted people who just dont get it. Keep up the good work sir! Unfortunately though I'm afraid your efforts will be wasted on the WAR crowd though. Online games like this are purely about gaining levels, farming phat loot and beating up mobs and end-of-level bosses. Leave your brain on the doorstep cos otherwise the thugs will just mock you........its kind of like the little brainy kid at school who gets picked on for thinking too much.

    But aye ye be right! Fishing aint for heroes! Neither is the baking of cakes or the brewing of ale! Leave that to the local fishermen or the tavern keeper who will keep ye belly full and quench yer thirst before a hard days fighting. I'll toast to that!!! Arrrgghhh!!!!
