With Alberta Lake moving to lvl 22.

[XentroDiMentro]

It fixes the fine issue, so thats good.

However there are a few things that make me question whether in its current state White Moose Lake is actually worthy of being unlocked all the way down lvl 22.

Lets compare.
Unique Northern Pike (13-15kg) (38-45gold) -- Unique Lake trout (17-21kg)(18-22gold)
Trophy Musky (11-14kg) (1700-2100xp) -- Unique Lake trout (17-21kg) (700-1000xp)

I'm not going to go trough all the fish types, but i do hope you guys update the gold/xp/credit gain in alberta before moving it to lvl 20.

If you care about exp or gold then you fishing wrong

hehe :P, well atm this game is just as much a sim as Sega Bass Fishing. Once it gets there i'll enjoy the fishing. Right now i want to be atleast lvl 22 to be ready for any new content that comes out.

[Myagony]

aye, I'm still trying to get to MI.

But yeh , bet they do tweak the numbers as they go till its a good balance.

[XentroDiMentro]

Well im expecting atleast 70+ gold per unique Lake Trout now ^^.

I disagree with making the lake level 22 - it's a bit high and believe level 20 would have been good enough - if if they must make it high, then 21.

It will make all the past grinding frusterating when they remove level locks and anyone can get to the lakes. Yeah sure, the higher levels get the equipment needed to fish for specific species, but still...

While I don't mind the grinding, it's just not fun for me anymore...the game itself is enjoyable, but I was hoping they would make the exp gained from fish a bit higher (please).

I do agree with others who mention the rewards in Alberta don't seem enough to justify fishing there.

Travel cost and other payment is too high, and of course exp is low...

ho ho, easy there haha :P, i don't mind lakes at high lvl's, i do however that they should give proper xp/credit/gold rewards when they are locked at such high lvl's.

I'm currently not lvl 22, i've got around 80k xp to go. I was wondering, (which was the point of this thread) whether they are actually changing the xp/gold/credits rewards Alberta gives. Seeing as Darren indeed also stated, Michigan is currently far better in pretty much every single way.

[shadrays]

Hmm, I made at least a $1000 a day and several thousand xp, pays to invest in a good stringer.

[ErnurWolf]

I make decent xp and good $$$ in alberta . 265lb stringer .

[Djuice]

You make on average 50-100% less XP and credits in Alberta than Michigan. If you just farm Lake Trouts vs Muskies/Pikes.

[Doughnut_DOA]

some of you guys are missing the point. The point of the thread is comparison - does alberta as it is now sit well at level 22 in comparison to michigan at level 20 or even cali at level 18 -- IMHO no it does not for all the reasons above - travel/days/xp etc -- someone should do a comparison of the other lakes -- I would suggest oregon is a closer lake at what ever level that is (maybe needs 1 more species) -- true the fishing is easy in alberta so nets fill quick but i can do the same in oregon ( i know wont matter if locks come off but when will that be, and i know its not a grind or your doing it wrong blah blah -- its the mechanics) Im level 22 so doesnt affect me but anyone going up the levels so they can fish alberta will get a suprise - rethinks me thinks -- you could all go to missouri to fish and say "im not grinding in this game honest", yeah right.

[Mysu]

The place is very nice but should be better about Xp especially for trophy.

[Slo-Mo-Shun]

I can see the op original point, but it doesnt mean those fish sizes will stay that way in the future.

[darrren]

ive spent last irl day there and in my opinion atm it should be lvl 19 between cali and mich and travel and fishing cost should be a tad lower or it needs some loving from the dev team :D
