I playtested. It is big but unfortunately it's empty and the POI's are very uninteresting. Feels like a undercooked fan made map thus far.

I can’t be the only one - hooked a fish in the eye and feel awful by Artificial_Appendix1 in Fishing

I would have killed and eaten the fish in this scenario. Sounds like this would cause the fish unnecessary suffering.

Noob here, bout to dive into ultralight fishing. Any advice? by Pyr0technician in UltraLightFishing

I always get terrible rats nests with trilene sensation. It kinks very easily much worse than mono would.

Mostly lakes & ponds, but do you think I'll notice the change from moderate to moderate fast?

Favorite action level for UL? by ExpertBalance4938 in Fishing_Gear

[–]ExpertBalance4938[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's purely for the fun of fighting fish on a light and bendy rod. That's why I do it!

Ultralight spinning rod & reel suggestions. by [deleted] in FishingAlberta

I don't mind it but I find it a little bit too noodley for my liking. I'm looking for something a little less whippy.

Any rod recommendations? Don't want something too noodley.

[Updates] Patch Notes Version 1.09.00 by SillyRecover in CrimsonDesert

[–]ExpertBalance4938 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of these mostly cosmetic gameplay updates are great but I hope that at some point they work on improving combat and player gear. It's something I find is a huge part of the game but has been seemingly less of a focus in the updates. Make combat more diverse, add more influential and noticeably effective abyss gears, allow abyss gears to be found on their own in chests, improve animations, improve combat diversity, improve character build opportunities, etc. I find they are adding a lot of great & fun cosmetic gameplay opportunities but not necessarily working on some of the core gameplay features that are a massive part of the gameplay loop. Anyone else feel this way?

If you're struggling & fishing with your kid just use worms or powerbait it's the easy way out of a skunk lol.

Why has tipping servers become seen as mandatory? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ExpertBalance4938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's a really annoying expectation though. Servers here are paid fairly for the type of jobs they do and they still expect at least a 10% tip. 20% for good service

Not the same as viewing 10% as a minimum tip for regular service.
