UDO 361 Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) correct me if i am wrong but doesn't the description imply that it will catch fish on it own after its cast , whats with the stupid mini game pressing keys on keyboard i can catch fish faster with a bow ,in no way does the fishing net they have implemented catch fish automatically or even at a rate that makes it worthwhile automatically (with reference to a device or process) by itself with little or no direct human control. "the kettle automatically switched off when it boiled" automatically adverb (INDEPENDENTLY) B2 If a machine or device does something automatically, it does it independently, without human control: Definition of automatically - (with reference to a device or process) by itself with little or no direct human control, without conscious thought or attention; Fishing Net: Can only be used when sitting. Equips on the back slot. Will begin automatically catch fish when boat has met minimum sailing minimum velocity Edited June 2, 2019 by UDO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His was a little more comical, but yeah, it was probably something they wanted to do but found out they couldn’t successfully implement it so they tried to pass this off.

KarmaComa 15 Posted June 2, 2019 You guys are missing a key word right there 'begin', ofc it will start auto but to finish it off needs human interaction, it could've been worded differently however Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badkebab 79 Posted June 2, 2019 The only difference between a fishing rod and a fishing net is the net can be used when the boat is moving, in other words its useless. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badkebab 79 Posted June 2, 2019 I have an npc on my steering wheel and grapple flotsam on my journeys, while watching for sotd and enemy boats essential pass times on a pvp server, sitting in a chair playing a mini game would be asking to get sunk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jabnlab 40 Posted June 2, 2019 My crew likes it for passing time while sailing, except we cant seem to get it to work on a galleon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
natclanwy 3 Posted June 2, 2019 We have been using it on a Gally. We set the chair right at the edge where the sides are at the lowest point. We do have some ramps installed there as well not sure if that is making a difference or not. As far as being able to watch for ships etc you can fish in “k” mode 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hexaron 28 Posted June 3, 2019 Another big BS in game... would be good if they add real fishing nets in game so i can put those near shipyard or or beach.. I think about fun we can only dream in this game. (I hate mini games ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
