this is a scam!

all boats should have rod holders not just the dlc boats!

I would buy a $100 DLC if it was worth $100, but it'd take a lot to make it worth that much. As far as rod holders are concerned, it'd depend on the boat. If it was a DLC with a bass boat, for example, rod holders are contrary to the boat's intended use and pointless. For $100 anything larger than that better have a stainless steel rack, a working bathroom and a built in goomar named Irina.

Thats a good reply and very fair.

You are 100% right if you look at the game from the point of view of competitiveness and striving to reach the highest level as quickly as possible. But if you change your point of view and play just to enjoy leisurely sitting with a fishing rod on the shore of the lake, to calm down and relax after hard work, then this is a very good game. Another thing is that it's not suitable for everyone. But there are no companions for the taste and color.

I've got 2,281 hours and I just reached 80, I don't know, a few weeks or so ago. There's nothing at the cap, man. At best, all the maps will be opened up and that's it. I guess there's something to be said for that, but how many maps have you opened up already and how long before you got bored with them? It's not going to be any different just because you have a 90 beside your name instead of whatever you have there now.

[Sup_DiM0N]

Some people just follow wrong advices and it takes them longer to level up, anyway before Japan map I would spend 900 hours to get to level 80, so now I'm at level 90 with 1400 hours played. Also it doesn't take 500 hours to get from level 80 to 90, but I would recommend leveling up to max in Congo before going to Japan so you all prepared and all equipment is ready.

[Geauxboy]

Congo is a must before Japan for new(er) players.

The biggest issue I have with the Japan DLCs for players that will more than likely never reach lvl 83 before the DLC runs out is that the DLC line will certainly run out before the 60 days are up and there is no way to buy more since you're not high enough level (unless you spent bc). I saw so many low level players being forced to leave Japan before the 30/60 days because they had no more line left. Most told me that they used the max amount of line on each reel. I told them to only put about 1k ft on so you atleast have a good 4 refills per rod which should last you the duration.

Atleast you can get other fish in the Congo that are catchable on lower level gear and you can buy replacements.

[Sup_DiM0N]

Interesting point, but I never gave them a penny and I reached max level, so must be that YouTube guy you were following 😜

I wanted to reach the maximum level so I could focus on tournaments, but I never made it I got stuck at level 77. The thing is, this game is designed in a sneaky way, if you know what I mean. When you start playing, it seems fun, but at some point, you realize everything is made to push you into spending money. And then it becomes hard to stop.

The mechanics for reeling in big fish are frustrating it’s not natural at all to have to move the fishing rod in that way to catch the fish. Luckily, I never spent any money, but I wasted a lot of time.

I think I’ll make a video to explain how unrewarding it is to play this game, only to end up disappointed after sinking so many hours into it.

It is absolutely designed to push you to spend money. The problem here isn't this game, but this business model. The way to deal with this is to accept that this is how free to play games are and just leave them alone if you can't afford to pay.

This is how free to play games work and you won't find one that deviates in any meaningful way. If they charged, say, $40 for the game, a hell of a lot of people won't spend it. Let them play it for a little while first, however, just enough to get them addicted before you start making it hard to progress, and nearly all of those people who would never give you $40 up front will now give you $10/month for premium and $30 - $60 a pop for multiple DLCs.

It's a lot like giving people food to cats. As long as you never give it to them they don't know what they're missing nor do they really care. Give them a little taste, though, and they go crazy if they can't have more. The best solution is to not even get started giving it to them in the first place.

In this case, instead of the word "scam", the word "dishonestly" is more appropriate.

It is neither a scam or dishonesty it is BLATANT GREED. They are continually changing the game to make it necessary for players to spend real money.

[Sup_DiM0N]

You think that you are fishing, then think again maybe you are the catch 😉

ROFL
You obviously don't know anything about the Draco "joke" except what you have been told in the description of it.
At the time of the release rod holders were still under lease to The Fisherman so the Draco became nothing more than a floating rod stand. You can only see one rod at a time and while they are out you cannot move the boat thereby making trolling impossible.

As I've always believed if you don't like how things are just leave. The ones that are here understand the reasons and play the game accordingly. If I go out and buy a John boat the only rod holders is in your hands. Same for canoes. But you do what you want but I plan on enjoying the game for what it is.

LOL
I totally understand the reason and it is called GREED.
The changes that do not not require you to spend money, like "no max drag" or defaulting "Clip Line" to MMB and removing it from Bindings, are simply brain farts.b
I still play the game so I can have a laugh as more stupidity, or unrealism, is added.

Lol did you play the ocean map? if you did you would see twenty sailboats zooming around everywhere...

but The Draco: 24.4' V-hull 300-HP boat should be usable in the ocean update.
This boat can handle what is presented in-game no problem. Especially since the water mechanics are all for show.

So, there can be sailboats everywhere, yet the draco cant go? because it all a scam!

While you in Japan, take a walk around the marina and on opposite side you will find boat ramp with different boats on trailers and I think one of them is Draco boat or similar.

Maybe so but the reprogramming required to give the Draco access to the Ocean map would be a waste of time because you could only bottom fish close to shore with it and not troll.
