November 27, 2024 - PTS Update

I fished. Was kinda fun. Couple things:

1. It's unclear why the minigame keeps timing out when my scanner has lots of battery left. Not sure if that's a bug or a hidden timer on the attractor
2. It would be nice if we could buy multiple lures at a time, like with implant packs

Legitimate queries:

Who asked for this?
Why has it taken a lot of time to fix? I know people who found many exploits with it and it is likely to break the LIVE version when it comes out. Just for fishing fun.
Leave it on the test server. Don't ever bring this to live

Can you imagine doing this in Planetside 1 (The original true "MMOFPS")

Take this game seriously! Continue with successful merges and update. The new art looks great for the 12 anniversary. The new assault base and mini BFR idea looks cool but focus, don't embarrass

Stop with the fishing! It was an April Fools joke and it should be left as such!

The arsenal update brought back so many people with the premise of it being a weapon update with potential balance shake up. An update to polish it would be much more welcomed than the fishing update. The fishing update should be released only when the game sees a major rise in population and success. It's nowhere near that currently, and this update won't help it get there.

Don't worry. I tested fishing, they fixed the exploit. Props to the devs for fixing it before bringing it to live. You might ask why bother spending time and resources on fishing especially wwith such a game breaking exploit? Well since they fixed that exploit, that expands to being able to solve the rest of them. I have shown them clips and suggestions for fixes. I guess it takes them time but they can do it. I'm their No1 exploit tester at this point

I haven't made it to all the spots yet but I have enjoyed it so far.

Any thoughts about a test pond in sanctuary with one or two fish for a tutorial or a safe place for new people to practice it?

As it is, the fishermen are taking up population without contributing to the fights. Make fishing relevant to the people who fight or make it so those players don't count as soldiers.

Example suggestions:
- If you turn in a bunch at the region's spawn point, that region gets a slight discount to Nanite costs, stacking up to a limit if it's done several times.
- Turn them in inside a built base to reduce Cortium costs for that silo.
- Use them as materials to make some consumable gear. Deployable small buff or a utility grenade in an extra slot.
- Use them at a console instead of Nanites to refill grenades/mines.
