Tackle Box- Sign the Fisherman secondary tool petition!

Yes, please!

Fishers need a tackle box. Just please don't over complicate attaining it.

/signed

This is such a good idea, I am constantly running out of inventory space due to all my fish.

It's more data, for all characters no less, that each server has to keep in memory, not to mention it adds a slight bit more overhead to everything since there's more data to parse through. Especially since this storage would be effectively on your character's person so to speak, ie not separated like retainers.

this is only true to an extent they do not actually run the entire game in memory they do however hold a queried set of data in memory and adjust it until such a time you log off where it is then saved again in the storage side. Now lets figure that SE went with a mid range data center, they are probably using a blade system for speed (as opposed to a rack or tower system) with mid teir server blades (think HP ProLiant460 series or higher), now I dont know how they coded it but with a server maximum set somewhere in the neighborhood of 6000 users online at a time while the rest sit in storage, that is at most if limited to a 25 item slot witha value of pulling an item ID and quantity value around 600 bytes or around 3.5MB in total if ALL 6000 characters online had 25 items sitting in their 25 item tackle box. Now a single mid range blade server will usually have 32GB of memory (while its more common to have them sitting at 64GB for corporate use) and I assume for an MMO architecture they went the higher end route as far as that to avoid rapid DB querying so that data in RAM for characters remains intact for a certain ammount of time in case of a relog in within a certain time. Now this is a single blade server, we know that these are in clusters and everything is not running on a single blade, now if they didnt shortcut like I said in my earlier post the characters data is going to be bumped around between the current blade housing the areas/zones (its quite expected that its split up this way since they can take individual zones down which they have done before) that you are standing in meaning at no point is everyones maximum 600 bytes is taking up space on a single blade. Now however if they shortcut it and had a specific single blade running the entire servers character data in ram and that cluster being effectively mass querying that single blade for every single item change that occurs (which is incredibly foolish and anyone with sense wouldnt do) then yes I would agree it would be hard onto the system. However I doubt any programmer would be that stupid to program a route that would have a cluster of blades all querying a single blade for every minute change as that would cause so many issues especially if that single blade is the one in the cluster that ends up having issues. But if this is the route they went they could simply ghost the blade onto a more powerful blade and upgrade the memory as its probably still running on the tech set put forward under assumption of a lot lower population count.

Seriously my most wanted feature after a year of having 1-2 inv tabs constantly full.

Signed!~

there have been a few threads about a tacklebox or baitbox.

Adding a Tackle box to off hand sounds like a great idea.

omg yes plz

*Signed*

Would also love to see Fishers able to use GP..... for something

100% signed! when I'm gathering or crafting I have to put all the bait back in retainer! which might be fine! then when you out in the world doing something like a real obscure location! notice fishing hole, then need to go back to retainer to get the bait.
A GP suggestion, use GP to target only one type of fish, 2min buff, would help when you need to do daily GC turnin or targeting fish to mooch on

Keep this going. I'd hate for this thread to lose steam. STILL no dev response though with over 120 likes on the OP. What gives SE?

http://pix.gbatemp.net/202697/Im_Her...ad_Try_And.jpg

Yes please.

It would be nice just to hear that they know this is a concern for a lot of people. Even if it's something they might add later down the road in 3.0.

SIGN ME UP!!!! .... and fix that damn 80% can not catch this fish your gathering is not high enough... with 373+ gathering rate. for the quest fish in southern thanalan!!!!!!!! Took me 5 days to catch 3 fish. waiting for the right weather which is rare as hens teeth... and then you need to mooch a fish and once ui get the right fish on the line you loose it 80% of the time with 373 + gathering is insane... thats not rng thats a hahaha you cant play this for casual fun fishing no more.

Page 4 of my inventory is fishing tackle.

Tackle box or riot! lol


Just to add some content and not be only bumps, how many slots do you think a box should have? As it is a secondary could you meld onto it? If you can have iLvL boxes / normal growth* then will the size stay the same? *like other classes that'd be a new secondary every 3-7 levels, or at least the option to have one.

If we were to have the opportunity to get a net or spear back then a tacklebox could be an inventory feature, or add a trinket slot lol.

I think the easiest route for the devs to take would be to use the tackle box already in game, but to have it access a separate inventory. That does limit the use to 4 slots or so but the skill is there, the interface is there and it isn't game breaking. Perhaps they could expand on the system at a later date (like adding upgrades to the skill, much like the way stealth works, but adding more slots) but it'd be a good starting place.

Also, I think a net or harpoon would make good off hand tools so using the skill already in place doesn't block that slot.

Yes /sign

Please thanks.

Signed! More love for the anglers!

Signed!!!!!!

Yeah, I'll sign this as well. Getting a little tired of having to lug around the fishing bait in my normal inventory all the time because I don't really have room to store it all on retainers. But I fear SE's answer to this will just be to purchase another retainer. :\

If they just give us another inventory slot in the armory for such things and an off hand (such as a net or harpoon) as others have suggested with some bonus stats, ill be extremely happy

Yes please. It doesn't even have to have stats. I just want a place to store the page of lures and baits off my retainer. Half the time I want to fish I have to go buy the baits first because I just don't have room to keep them all.

つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Tackle box or riot! つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

also some skills that use our GP would be nice >.> maybe something to help us avoid all the trash fish while we go after what we want

devs, can we get a reply?

http://www.beamng.com/attachment.php...5&d=1396562194

We are waiting, devs. What are you all waiting for? Give us a simple yes or no... But be prepared for the consequences of your answers.

150+ likes and going, tons of responses, and people are coming together for a huge QoL update needed for fishing. There's no way this should be ignored or at least given some thought.

/signed, absolutely

So signed, need more space to keep all of the bait

Okay, while I do support a tackle box for fishing, I think it needs to be something OTHER than a simple expansion of inventory for bait.

Rather than the above, I think it needs to work like this:

The Tackle Box needs to work similar to how choosing a bait does now, but instead of selecting a bait item from your inventory it needs to select a lure from a set of lures that you acquire and "use" (similar to minions and mounts) to bind to your character permanently.

From there, it needs to consume GP to "equip" a certain lure from said tackle box. This way GP is useful for Fishing and provides a different gate to higher grade fish rather than RNG + really high Gathering and Perception. While these need to also be met, the GP requirement for lures could help ease this numbers down a little.


Just a thought, still support the idea as a whole.

Hear, hear!!
Signed respectfully, but adamantly!
Give us a tackle box! I don't even care about the stats. Just give us a sub inventory for all that bait and lure!

Has there been any word on this from the Devs yet?

Nah, but im sure if we keep pestering they will get off their duffs and reply eventually. Though im sure it will be the same "there are no plans to implement..." bollox we see quite often. The fact that this thread has gone so far with no reply is sad in itself.

That is one thing that I seem to notice sometimes, see a response on things that don't seem to be that important vs. something like this. Were not asking for glamours or vanity gear or a Gamera like mount from Fishing achievement. Just for lures and baits to not take up regular inventory space.

I approve of this message. Tackle Box secondary item for fisher's would rock my socks.

/signed.
Absolutely needed I have 30 spaces of fishing equipment and I could have another 20 or so spots if I wanted all the fishing lures and bait(all the lures and bait in game) with me at all times if I decide I feel like fishing.

Come on Dev's, chime in already!

sooner or later we will get one. just need to keep asking. get your bros and sis to sign and bring our dream to fruition
