Fishing in Conan

Subnautica was a great game. Man I loved the bug where the fish would swim into your base through the moonpool and you could just pick them up. Free food then put the rest in your fish tank for later

I have every confidence that FC could implement that ‘feature’.

The day I log in and find fish swimming through my walls and in the air is the day I stop playing.:rofl: there is know keeping immersion at that point……ill give them two maybe three more updates till I start seeing it.

I think you lose the part where i talk about the action of fishing

I dont think they shall implement it now we have MANY other important actions they need to add and they need to rework many others and funcom dont have much time for work in updated check now 6 months of work and we win 2 small historys quests VERY BUGGED gives us 2 useless companions and one living settlement very bugged too i know it is " Age of Heros" but i dont think our thralls shall learn the power of fly to 0,0,0 or vanish.

Good what i think about fishing is right now it wont give us nothing in pve it gives just food and right now is very abundant (the fun part about fishing is just for a group of people most old people) and most people dont will use it after one time and in pvp it is useless.

If they want add one action work for both gameplays and one action people will use most time they can add steath action , boats action , grab hook action , one best sorcerer fight style action , pet mounts actions and many others.

I prefer to see net fishing over spears, as hand nets and traps are what real subsistence fishermen use. We already have one of them.

Why did I read “Flashing in Conan” ?

My mind is dirty again…

Nothing beats the spear fishing in that game. Trying to get a gulper without being chewed on by a shark is great.

I’d be open to fishing. Fish traps aren’t currently working anyway. (They disappear.) :unamused:

I’ve still got my traps, 50 grubs = 9 fish. But I’m talking activity, traps aren’t, casting nets would be.

I’ve got mine too, what I mean is they’re currently bugged at least on my server. Bugs will generate fish but as soon as the fish spawns in it disappears.

I can’t say that fishing is something I would want to do in Conan but I definitely spent way more time than I should have fishing in OoT and Ark.

Fishing feels like a proper survival activity though. Simply putting fish traps is fine but doesn’t hit the nuance of action.

Nets, spears even poles, why not?

I can see for PVPers, the danger of fishing is not only the wildlife, but catching yourself unaware snoozing away against a tree can surely be your demise XD

Perhaps a fish revamp though? I know, out of pan into the fire, be careful what I wish for, blah blah blah. But we’re imagining here right?

If we start to break down fish as a resource, what can they give?

  • Not the worst way to get oil, but not the best
  • Ingredients to some god feasts
  • Ingredients to for thrall leveling foods
  • Buffs
  • Some small amounts of other resources

Am I missing anything?

Admittedly, I don’t really use fish for much anymore. It’s become so inconsequential but yet it’s something that used to be heavily used.

I chose foods that buff followers while leveling. So fishy foods for archers. Or followers that already have a high agility and I want to build on it.

would like to have the ability to create artificial fishing tanks. Would be fun building a watery system, with sewer ducts from lost dungeon filled with water. But i fear it would be too bugged

Never call to “The Krampus”.
Never ask for anything unless you want to be slaved forever.
Be carefull with what you wish.
And also don´t call Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

Hunt and fishing is really cool for PVE,single,coop…there are some ways to make this actions funny.
Even if you don´t get anything,you will try to catch a fish,some are really hard to get…with fishing rod.
Hunt following clues and blood or placing traps is so cool too.
Being backstabbed while you are fishing,is not fair.

It was my best thing in the game. Sharks was my thing, i learned the game so well that i was killing the sharks from day one. A small game, but good. Yet nothing compares the game we play here. Sometimes i turn my console from performance to quality just to do my riptide scuba and swim by the fishes. I dream a mod of stranded deep map logic with Conan exiles mechanics. But nothing more than stone weapons.
@DeaconElie sorry for my minor derail, accept my apologies.

Takin my language.

People have been keeping fish and farming fish for centuries. People have been asking for pools in Conan for years, gold fish ponds kind of seems like a gimmy.

I mean the game already has red Oscars.

Same here. Although i love to have the deep fishing recipe from day one if possible, i never use it anymore. Gaining a tier 3 alchemist from Buccaneers bay it’s easy, so no actual reason for fishing.

It was integral to PVP minmaxxing for a hot minute.

Now, pretty much not. Can still be used but much more fruitful and quicker ways of getting buffs.

Same. I have a full total of ZERO interest in adjusting or expanding this as a feature.

However - clearly we have some players that are very passionate about it. :slight_smile: :joy:

As always, Kiki, your suggestions here are very well considered. Good food for thought for the devs at the very least. :slight_smile:

Narrow thinking :laughing::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:.
Do you know why pve never prepare people for underwater fight?
Because even when only javelins could be used under water, nobody ever carried any. If javelins had usage, trust me, a lot of people would be fighting under water from day one of this game. Now javelins are really powerful, but still underestimated.
But yes, what we ask is more for role play, than pvp fights.
But i would recommend you to carry some javelins with you on pvp, they’ll not fail you when time comes!

For the ghost with the most and the fish of course.
