Red Scrip > Stupendemys

[Roth_Trailfinder]

The issue is not Stupendemys though. The issue is capping red scrips, and the stupendemys is one means of working at it. You are saying that they are not good for their difficulty. The solution is to find something that works better. That's why raising the other Gathering classes is the solution. It provides a lot more options for capping RGS, many of which are superior.

Stupendemys are not the end, they are a means to an end. That's all.

I have not asked for any changes to capelin because I have so far only obtained two of the three location folklore tomes and that fish is in the remaining one I have yet to obtain. I made this thread mentioning stupendemys because that is the one I tried fishing for lately to see if it was worth it and the reality is it is not...that is a problem. However I will apply the same argument for addressing loosetongues and capelins if they too are not being fished by almost all fishers due to not being adequately balanced.

Whether it is loosetongues, capelins or stupendemys if almost no-one is bothering with them then there is a problem with either the reward/difficulty not being worth it comparatively with other options. My ideological point of view is not that everyone should ignore the harder content/activities because there is an easier option (ignoring the issue seems to be your point of view), instead my view is to make that harder content or activity worth doing too. The fish I mentioned fits that bill of not being worth it and perhaps so do capelins and loosetongues but just ignoring the problem is not the right solution. The fact you say you do the other easy red scrip options and not these along with 99% of other players according to you is also evidence in itself of the problem.

Your argument to me is much like saying if almost no-one did A1-4S then SE should not address the balance to entice people to do it...instead saying everyone should stick to only A1-4 non-savage and that the savage content should be or remain pointless and unused while I am saying if no-one is doing such then SE needs to address such a problem and/or it's time/effort balance issues. At least with savage the gear is adequate or more reasonable a reward, the reward for such fish as stupendemys is very much inadequate by comparison as you only gain a microscopic increase in red scrip from them compared to the much easier tiny axolotls etc. Most issues in this game only require minor tweaks to improve them and this is one of those such things.

There is a balance issue whether you are willing to admit it or not and it should be addressed rather than ignored despite your attempts to argue otherwise, especially when only very minor changes could resolve such issues. Put another way your argument to me would be like saying SE should not have made relic weapon quest improvements or component drop rates better or more balanced in the past because everyone else can take the easier option of raid or token exchange gear, the reality is the game is not improved by simply ignoring the problems.

I have to ask you again what damage, discomfort, pain or suffering would it cause you to have the fish I mentioned (and/or the other two types) issues addressed whether that means offering slightly more scrips to match the difficulty or making slightly easier to catch so the gap between difficulties of these vs other red scrip fish are more adequately balanced in an effort to tackle the problem of people only fishing for the easy ones and completely ignoring the harder ones? What are you hoping to accomplish by arguing against having the obvious balance issues addressed and why you are against my point of making the easier option and harder option both worth doing?

If your only participation in this thread is to say why stupendemys and not the others then I can tell you now it applies to any red scrip fish which are not appropriately balanced so people will actually make use of them and not pretend they don't exist, the reason I said stupendemys is because that is what I have been lately trying to fish to see if worth it and it's not. From my point of view that's a problem of which you admit to being such even if did not realize it by claiming you also ignore them for that same reason. You might not realize you are adding further evidence to what have said but you have done so by your own admission of why you do not bother with them either.

I have explained the issue I feel adequately. It's up to SE whether they ignore what I have said or take it on board and think about it now, whether they agree or not plus whether to address the issue and adjust the balance between hard/easy red scrip fish reward/efforts. I hope they don't have your mindset though and chose to ignore it just because there is an easy option and by proxy keeping the harder option a waste of everyone's time, I want both the hard and easy options to be worth doing.

You are going dragon's deep on this. Literally all fish that's not useful are one and done fish, that's how it was then and how it is now. We have these new patience skills now and it is extremely easy to HQ any fish.

I have caught my fair share of all 3 1* fish multiple times. Catching these fish is the easy part, getting the collectable rating is the hard part. To get to the collectable rating, patience skill is needed. There is also a lot more RNG involved, equally frustrating. Even with a slightly improved rate, at the end of the day, the same feeling of not getting enough red scrip. Then come to the forums to vent about it, and no you are not the only one.

You should start your draft on Capelin. This fish requires fish eye! Meaning patience skill will not be used! Which also means good luck on getting that collector rating! Not a fish for spoiled patience skill users!

Happy fishing!

I don't think that making this fish (or any of the other red scrip fish that fishers skip because the time investment isn't worth the effort) easier to catch is the solution. One star fish are difficult because the entire point of starred fish is to be difficult. However, BECAUSE some starred fish are more difficult than others, the scrip award should be adjusted accordingly. If, taking probabilities into account, you are likely to catch 6 of fish X in an hour and gain N scrips from it, if you are likely to only catch 3 of fish Y in the same amount of time, you should get N x 2 scrips for those.

SE has all the probabilities right in front of them since they have all the code. They know exactly how difficult it is to catch each kind of fish, and they should assign different scrip values accordingly.

[UknowUknow]

Don't take probability into account, because each window is different. Tiny axo for example has a 3hr ET/ 9 mins window, and the 1* stupendemys has a 24hr ET/ 70mins window.

Like ALL online games "Game Experience May Change During Online Play"

Happy fishing!

Well then im belong to those 1%, since im like hunt stupendemys and capelin, as part of normal scrip hunting routine if those are listed, why? because those have a huge catch window than the normal ones and doesnt require you keep waiting all day for some specific times. About the difficult of stupendemys just remind that this fish in special was tweaked down due to the extremely easy catch, devs put in same fishhole cobrafish "A fanged fish native to the skies above Tharl Oom Khash." (though is interesting how so much that fish can fly from it native region to there). Also the rate not for stupendemys is not so bad, but right it could be better but it seems fair now, since you can get it 90% of day and any weather. (by the way each throw with that giant crane you have kinda 2 chances to get it, one directly and other having the hq rudderfish, and mooch for it)

For capelin is just fun get it as you have 6 hours game time to get it hehehe, not too hard to get.

What happens is mostly all the contrary the eel and tiny axo are very easy to caught.

The one saving grace is that it is in the same zone as Adamantite.
