• Profession Rework - Fishing
  • Reworked all of this existing activities to bring them in line with our updated profession strategy
  • Added several new tiered activities which span passive, idle, low and high intensity gameplay:
    • Bait Fishing (unlocked from lvl 1, repeats every tier) - Baitfish schools now last a period of time before moving. This means no longer competing with other players for nodes or worrying about them running out. EXP increased compared to previous baitfishing.
    • Lakefish Spot Searching (unlocked from lvl 2, repeats every tier) - Search for a nearby hidden fishing spot to catch lakefish. These spots give more EXP and fish than the typical lakefish schools
    • Lakefish schools (unlocked from lvl 3, repeats every tier) - Lakefish schools are now baited upfront and last a period of time (creating an experience more like ocean fishing) making them more communal and low intensity. Perfect for relaxing fishing in the lakes and rivers with friends.
    • Lakefish netting (unlocked from lvl 14, repeats every tier) - A passive, solo gameplay loop designed to be layered with other activities above. Lay out your nets in a loop and boat around to collect extra fish from your nets every so often
    • Ocean Fishing (unlocked from lvl 17, repeats every tier) - Mostly unchanged (most co-op, idle activity), but we’ve added “One that got away” fish which can spawn while ocean fishing that can be quickly caught if you target them in time, each time you catch one you have a chance to spawn an even rarer one, allowing them to be chained if you are lucky and paying attention. These primarily give extra EXP and can be butchered in your inventory to avoid taking up a ton of space.
    • Lobster Fishing (unlocked from lvl 28, repeats every tier) - A more passive form of lake netting, but for the ocean. Layout a loop of traps and refill them with bait daily to get extra crushed shells and lobster meat, which can be used for new consumables.
    • Trophy Fishing (unlocked from lvl 29, repeats every tier) - The most active gameplay for fishing involves tracking down and trying to land a trophy fish. This is a solo activity where you are racing against the clock to tire the fish out to catch the biggest one possible. Use abilities quickly to cancel out debuffs which will prevent you from landing a bigger fish if left unchecked. Trophy Fish can be butchered at a station to get filets and oil, or butchered in your inventory for a chance at chum to keep your trophy fish trip going as long as possible. Gives best in class EXP rates.
  • Added 2 new Abilities to Fishing (primarily used in Trophy fishing but offer some benefits when used during other activities)
    • “Reel In” (unlocked at lvl 5) - gives a small boost of fishing speed, clears the “It's Getting Away” debuff when trophy fishing
    • “Let it run” (unlocked at lvl 7) gives a small boost of fishing power at the cost of lowered gathering/crafting speed, clears the “Snapping The Line” debuff when trophy fishing
      

• Added several new Rewards for Fishing
  • Added several new quests which walkthrough the new activities and give decent chunks of EXP to help you process through Tier 1 smoothly
  • Added 3 new Fishing Equipment items which are rewarded from the quests as well as the knowledge to re-craft them and wear them
  • Added new Fishing Potion which can be mixed in your inventory with Gathering Potions and Lobster meat of the same tier as a direct upgrade to the gathering potion focused on fishing
• Future Planned Changes:
  • Continued balance of drops and EXP from player feedback
  • More rewards (fishing equipment, stat giving knowledge, consumables)
  • More quests (lobster and trophy fishing)
  • More variety of fish models (“One that got away”, lakefish)
  • More distinct / clearer icons for some items
  • Reducing the amount of fishing nodes in the world to visually clean up the world (since nodes no longer destroy, fewer nodes has negligible impact)

• Profession Equipment Slots
  • Added support for profession equipment to go into new slots next to your tools. We plan to add more sophisticated functionality to these equipment in the future (e.g. unlocking abilities or giving more unique effects). Currently only the 3 for fishing have been added, more will coming in future updates.

Changed

• Weekly Tasks - The tasks system now resets weekly, instead of 4 tasks per 4 hours, players can now complete 50 tasks per week (subject to balance, we found the vast majority of players complete less than this) Completing a task uses one task allocation, you can also re-roll a task costing 2 tasks.
• Resource and other trackers now show in unexplored chunks
• Background mode now can show the Game HUD UI which allows for better clarity on action progress or other information

Fixed

• Fixed a bug where the inventory setting menu was hard to open due to the center of the button not being clickable
• Fixed a bug where toggling inventory setting “Fill deployables first” would toggle off other unrelated settings
• Fixed placeables spawning inside resources on walkable tiles of their footprints
• Fixes an issue where buff stats would remain after expiration when relogging during its duration
• Fixed a handful of issues with placeables
  • Fixed it so you can no longer place/interact while swimming
  • Fixed place/interact animations while mounted
  • Fixed it so you can place while mounted
  • Fixed swimming after place/interact while in a boat
  • Fixed placeable interact not looping while in a deployable
• Fixed “You were signed out. The server may be undergoing maintenance. Please try reconnecting in a few minutes” error showing when signing in while already signed in. Now this gets handled correctly
• Fixed an issue where clicking on the map no longer worked after background mode was disabled
• Background mode no longer automatically activates during loading screens
• Context menu fixes:
  • Fixes Resources and Placeables not querying everything on the tile
  • Fixes hovered entity's context options not being on top of the list
  • These should reduce the cases where something on the tile cannot be interacted with when something else is blocking it
