Fishing tomorrow!

Entropia Universe Discussion General Discussion

Fishing and cooking on Wednesday! Exciting! Any last speculations and guesses?

Should be a modular rod system where we can mix different rod parts, a precursor to the new weapon system coming soon where guns are modular.
Cooking is exciting, requiring estates, or apartments, to place cooking pots to cook in for advanced recipies.

I hope cooking uses transgen fruit but I am not holding my breath.

I hope the old decorative fishing rod is converted to an actual tool, and that the old NI fishing rod works too with that old system getting converted hopefully.

Did MA confirm that we’re going fishing and cooking tomorrow?

4

Some people are in the loop I guess while others are not in a good society.

I will guess the timeline for tomorrow:
9:35- Berta will finally tell us (if we are lucky) that there will be a release starting in 25 minutes and is expected to last 2 hours
10:00 - downtime starts
12:15 - we will get information that release is taking longer than expected
15:50 - game is back online
15:55 - first bugs found
15:56 - first bugs exploited (because why not)
16:30 - emergency downtime to fix the first bugs
… :smiley:

and now seriously, kind of looking forward to it, so best of luck to MA for smooth release :slight_smile:

or they are not banned on discord so they can read about it?

Yes. I took liberty to organize the information for people who not caught up with discord yesterday.

Things confirmed/said by Socrates about fishing/cooking for tomorrow VU.

New skills/Professions.
Cooking and Fishing are a multitude of different professions and skills
for each. Everyone will be at 0.

Fishing:
You will be able to do deep sea and sea fishing from boats.
Fish codex
I think starter stuff will be in TT.
4 Different types of fishing, like fly fishing etc.
Each rod is made of many attachments that are required and affect params.
See image.
All L fishing rods, old decoration UL fishing rod will remain decoration.

Fishes:
100 new fish types.
Every fish has prefered Biome, Strength, Size, Difficulty,
Minimum Depth, Preferred Lure and Time of Day factors.
Some of the new fishes pic

Resource usage:
There will be products from unused (underused technically)
systems being required as part of fishing and cooking

No benefits based on estate at launch. “not at present”.

No more generic pills from boxes (except seasonals like easter egg, candy cane).
with the cooking and fishing update. (Imo, my own speculation here, but I think it will remain for daily AI’s).

Cooking:
Can you cook on any planet?
I think any planet any estate. Fishing itself I believe is limited to Caly, NI, RT on release.

Stoves:
Tier 1 stoves will be at service centres,
Tier 2 and up is only on your own estate as per the LAN presentation

Video posted with fishing in action (but no fish caught sadly).
Fishing video teaser

Personal speculations:
I hope there’s new category for fishing in hall of fame board ;).

Let’s go FISHING!
@Socrates|Mindark It would be epic if you add a fishing event soon to celebrate the start of the fishing update. If I missed anything feel free to comment too :wink:

I sure hope some of the “pills/food” will require a combination of oils+meat(fish or animals), maybe also energy matter to have a mix of fishing/hunting/mining to produce the food/pills.

Otherwise I wont think it will be a great system. We need to combine professions as much as possible. (We will see - but hopeful).

That’s all just timezone differences or the are doing the update a day later than normal?

18

A day later. It would be cool if they add controller support with vibration support for fishing, feel the fish “bite” the hook and pull with vibration.

No thanks! I’d rather see MA put resources into something else… If you want controller vibration - go pick up a PS5 or something.
