UNIQUE = COINS

[mrgreenleaf]

please bring back this old system many of us enjoyed and you will see a rise in game population again

Not going to happen.

Think the only way they'd do that is if the uniques were just random spawns and rarer than shiny pokemons.

[Deconstructed]

Yes, it used to be this way. When it was unis were much harder to catch and they still took it away. Don't see it happening.

they ruined the whole game system by taking it away

Agree to disagree? You can earn bait coins by doing tournies, rather than everyone sitting in the same spot fishing uniques.

The problem with comps/tournies is not everyone is able to schedule their life around a FP schedule.

Well, for those people, packs exist? I mean, I dunno what you want them to do? If they put coins back uniques, you'd have people constantly fishing the uniques, lowering the revenue. Where as, if you have people fishing tournaments with specific tackle/setups, you increase it. Don't forget it is a free to play game. They aren't trying to win favors here, but they are being fair and giving options. Unfortunately, they can't please everyone, but 5k baitcoins for 30 mins of a tournie every 5 days seems like a good deal (If you win.)

I can add that the system "baitcoins for unique" is implemented in the "Fishing Planet - The Fisherman". But it's a paid game.

but i already donated my support to some dlc i have to pay again on top of that to get baitcoins from uniques and do troll with the small dingi or kayak mister fpdimsam? it does not make sense to me i supported you guys for this game not supporting u to make me pay more

No problems, this is your own decision, I just I just drew your attention to the above fact.

Coins for unique previously implemented in early version. Was good idea, but leave developers without money to continue development. But we always want to bring with back to the game - and probably we will with new forms of fish - Giants and Legendary fish species, which are even more hard to catch than uniques, and give you a great prizes too. What would you think about it? (Hard to catch means not a low bites, but really simulated experience, depends from weather, wind direction and the behavior of other fish species on waterway. So you need to find a way to explore location etc)

[mrgreenleaf]

yes lower drop chance sounds good enough and also add as soon as possible trolling to the game and not only in the buy version so its fair for all since we have also supported you here with dlc i think its fair enough that you add it here also for f2p players

So here's the issue with the monitization of your game. While yes, a free to play game needs some form of way for the dev to make money to continue to develop future content, you've gone and made DLC's with each new map and most of the gear in the DLC if it's not a boat or rod/reel is crap. I have yet to ever once use a keepnet from a single DLC I've bought because they are all worse the what you can get ingame. For some who buy a DLC to unlock an area 30-40 levels early, yea it might be decent but for everyone else, it's not. Honestly, what you guys need to start doing is cosmetic stuff..it will sell. Take a look at the single biggest free to play game on the net, League of Legends. 99% of everything sold is cosmetic and has zero effect on the game yet they make insane amounts of money from it then you look at Fishing Planet and everyone wears the same gear, has the same clothing and boots, looks the same when it comes to the character model. Most of the DLC clothing, while it looks good is overall just worse then the at-level gear from the shop. You've also hosed the bite system up on almost every single lake and made it so the majority of fishing takes place on a handful of set lakes, ie: Michigan, California, Bolivia. There is zero reason to go to Alaska other then to do it if you're really bored. I used to fish there a lot when I was leveling and the Salmon hardly bite now..and don't bite on bottom rods like they used to.

I really think if you're going to add in Giant or Legendary fish, you also need to re-think the bite system and find other ways to monitize your game. Idea for it would be give people clothing slots and ways to customize their character. Find ways to place your fishing gear on the ground when bank fishing like your rod case, tackle box..make the game feel more alive instead of just a half dozen people fishing in 1 spot in Michigan for Pike with a float rod over some reeds. My biggest issue with the game and why I can't see myself buying more things with money is because the game has gotten to a point where it's no reason to spend money. And I'm not saying screw up your economy to make it so if you don't have premium, you can't make money..do that and you'll kill your game faster then you can blink. But give people some fun stuff to spend money on and they will spend money.

mr developer because its not fair for us who have donated support more then what the fisherman is worth if u added trolling to the f2p version to all boats and kayaks it would be more realistic more people would play and also add salt water fishing shore jigging from cliffs and rocky areas for tuna amberjacks and all those hard fighting fish i think it would attract a wider range of audience and you would make more money selling cosmetics and lures for those stuff then just the lake fishing and river fishing
