Deep Sea Fishing (with all the fun that goes with it)

  • FISHING PLEASE.

    Imagine this... You go out with a group of friends on a fishing expedition. You search the seas for primed waters (sea gulls flying over fish activity). You drop anchor (on your fishing tug boat) and begin fishing. BAM! You snag your first fish. After the back and forth mini game to reel it in, you check its weight (which is random) to see if it belongs in your record books (or better yet, in the world record books). You then through it into the living well. BAM! Another! Your friend now is hauling in a LARGE fish. Once caught, this one wont fit in the live well, it'll need to be hauled back strung up and on display! With this big catch, we risk being boarded and stolen from, so I keep watch and guard. Once we've capped out our limit, we head back for the outpost to turn them in. We arrive and find the Fisherman Merchant on the docks and one by one we bring them ashore for our reward. We then find out that the merchant is offering a quest to us to go to a specific location to hunt a specific kind of fish. He's paying extra for it, so we take it! I also decided to buy a fancier pole! We stop by the boat upgrade merchant to pay to increase our capacity, both of the living well and the hanging hooks. And of course, I needed to bling the boat out by adding some decorative swag. Now were off, looking for our next big catch!

    So, what does this add...

    1. A fishing mini game.
    2. New boat type (Fishing)
    3. New cosmetics for gear and boat
    4. New questing type and reputation type
    5. New log book for record catches
    6. It also could add monthly/weekly contests for catch size/type/quantity, with unique rewards

    Please!!!!

  • I can't wait for all the crying when all these former pirates turned sportfishermen get sunk by a Meg, Karen, or skellie galleon.

    Picture this, you've battled Moby Fish from Shores a Plenty to Devils Roar, only to get flattened by a meteor from a volcano.
    Hilarity ensues.

  • I think most people playing Sea of Thieves want fishing. Lots of posts since launch about it. Here is my post where I outlined how it could work:

    Can find lots of the requests and ideas from other players here:

    Sure fishing in some form will come. Just a matter of time. Hopefully it will not be long with Rare working on the Arena mode.

  • Don't like it. Get yourself a fishing simulation, lad, and don't bother me with that.

    If you're bored, ask for ways to iron clothes, mend sails, and rid the hull of shells and barnacles.

    So, this could add:

    • In battle, ironed clothes would impress the enemy and radiate superiority.
    • Patched sails would make the ship 0.00001 knots faster.
    • A cleaned hull would make the ship react 0.00001 faster.
