Monster Fishing/Boogieman in the bushes/Giant worm in your mine

I have read through most of the posts from the developers the changes being brought to the gathering and crafting classes and I am excited to see the changes.

As an avid gather in my LS down time I feel it would be interesting to see these things again and it may limit some of those ”blkajsdfoiwlkj” named characters from mindlessly wondering about without harm.

Also there was something about pulling up a big freaking monster on a boat.

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around what your trying to say.

You're excited about the upcoming changes to the gathering and crafting mechanics and gameplay.
(You should mention something specific to probably help begin a proper thread topic.)

In your LS, you are avid DoL fan, and you feel the announced changed will somehow limit people from using names like, ”blkajsdfoiwlkj”.
(How so? From my direct memory I have no clue how SE intends to tackle obscured Picasso names from their game.)

You are also anticipating the return of fishing up mobs on the boats/ferries from FFXI.
(Well this is understood but it felt like it was just tacked on randomly off topic.)

Not to be rude, but it felt too condensed for me to understand it.

I know one of the new changes that I'm looking forward to regarding the DoL is the fact the world is different, which means for reason to play DoL to explore it. In addition I don't have to worry about my nodes being consumed by a third-party as each node is reliant on each players character.

And just to tack on my own random comment, I still can't decide on going Lalafell or stay Miqo'te T_T

It's simple. He wants there to be a risk or danger associated with Gathering. IE you're whacking away at a tree and something jumps out at you and attacks.

Ahh, like how the Wolves in Twelveswood always messed up my gathering there.

Looking forward to it... lol

i'd say fishing only since the fishing market was ruined because of some 24/7 fishing bots

I'd like to see it everywhere.. Especially since we have enemies like Squirrels.

Whack a tree. Moma Squirrel gets pissed. NOTORIOUS MONSTER FIIIIIGHT!

Since we can't change class in combat, I think we would need a warning message to pop so you can call a friend.

"You here an irritable sounding squeaking coming from this tree."

It could be nice for special content that involve DoL. Or maybe limiting it to few dangerous zones, with very very rare materials (Mor Dhona or Coerthas).

I was hoping there would be NMs that could only be spawned by fishing, or gathering in general. This doesn't need to occur everywhere, but in designated spots. Sort of like the Urganite on the Manaclipper.

WoW had raid bosses that were specifically fished up. One of them even required you to get hammered on alcohol and then fish it up.

Yes please. If the gathering mechanic ends up being terrible, then at least my favourite class can be saved by having lots of interesting stuff put in.

the thing is, since DoL is a job by it self, and only has the crappy rock to attack. it would be a problem if it come engaged in fight to the gatherer, and if it doesn't so we can change jobs to fight it, how would that limit the RMTs?

And what about those players or alt characters that don't want to level a DoW/DoM class & job? I guess they should just run away each time till they break down and decide to level at least one battle class because it's actually a lesser nuisance than to have their peaceful gathering time interrupted. . . .

Without being able to say what the DoL will be like since I'm still under NDA and I just played the Alpha version, I can still answer one of the question.

- Random monsters getting caught while fishing will not happen. Gathering won't give you junks anymore (past dev letter). You want a moat carp, you either get a moat carp or nothing at all. With that in mind, this clears it for the random fished monsters. Also, the "can't change class during combat or aggro" system makes it pointless to have a random monster pop when fishing.

Would be nice to make gathering something more than -Click- wait, -Click- wait, -Click- wait, rinse & repeat

I don't know about monsters spawning as DoL's have 0 fighting skills. Maybe something where you have to press a combination of keys randomly with in a certain ammount of time to get "harder to gather" items. Just a thought.

Actually if you were in the Alpha you're not even supposed to mention that. The only thing you can refer to in terms of gathering is what was actually shown in the SE released Alpha footage (which didn't cover fishing at all, and the devs have mentioned before that fishing will be different than botany and mining) or translated messages from the community reps.

Can they kill retainers too? That would be interesting. :)
