I like the grind. There should be only a handfull of 120 fishers per shard after few months. If your not 120 then no reason after 6 months crying for new content.
You know, if at least we knew what we were getting into I wouldn't even have such a problem with it takes a lengthy time investment to get that 120.
But to suggest that the fishing quests should be good enough content to last for months is absurd. The depth of this content can NOT stand up over 100+ runs. Giving it 100 is extremely generous. I would say a couple of evenings of doing it before it gets super boring and the mysterious nature of the rare rewards and the lack of variety and lack of value of the lesser ones begins to rub you the wrong way. Mining is more fun (did I just say that??) AND more rewarding. I mean geeze.
It should have been tied to a transparent system (or at LEAST better out of game documentation) where you at least have some idea of what you are aiming for, and what it takes to get there, and if they wanted the process to be a lengthy one... the whole thing needed to be way more engaging.
The idea of things taking a good chunk of time to master is all well and good, but it seems an odd stage in the game to start imposing barriers to getting things done with some semblance of swiftness. Thats not at all how the rest of the game works.
Also... rng hurts fun more than it provides it. Especially when doing something as repetitive and boring as these quests. I suggested in another post that a loyalty system would have been a nice way to go, so you know that each stupid fish shipment you do you WILL eventually get what you are after and you have a good idea of when. Because hell even if its 6 months you know that you are working toward something on a specific time table.
A 1/100 chance < after you earn 100 points you are rewarded. ESPECIALLY for this sort of endeavor.
Theres nothing like getting a big 6 part fish order spending hours to fill it, then getting a book that you already have 10 copies of. And its not even a special colored book for novelty sake, I could literally just copy the first one I got, red leaf it and it would be indistinguishable!
I mean thats just deflating. Its not "fun" and It makes you want to stop doing it, and indeed I have stopped doing it. I'm sure I'm not alone
As for the pies they seem ok by the numbers. I haven't made any yet though. But for the work you have to go through to get those steaks... you shouldn't fail that much, or otherwise the pies are useless. They have good buffs, people will want to use them, but they will only be useful if they don't cost 10k a pop.
Oh and I dont know if they stack or not, but they HAVE to stack or people wont use them. EVERYTHING should be stackable!
