a world event for fish, a random spot in the world would be selected and patch of rare fish would spawn in that you haft to fish out. it would be visible to everyone around the map with a blue tornado which means you haft to manage fishing and fighting at the same time. there's no world event that gives hunters call loot besides the raid voyages so i think this would be a nice addition to the game.
new world event??
@burnbacon said in new world event??:

People already dont like fishing in storms for "StormFish" :P
^^^ This. I once had a trophy shadow stormfish on my line, and got hit by lightning. It was the last one I needed. And now we're expected to be fighting other ships?
This could work but it would need a PvE component in phases to make the first crew on site not be able to fish it out before the others arrive. Maybe over three or so phases, Sea monster of some sort then fish up treasure.
Something like:
**Phase 1: Juvenile barnacle dread. **
Smaller version of the adult, has 1/3 the HP, spawns ocean crawlers.
Phase 2: Juvelnile raw maw
Smaller version of the adult, has 1/2 the HP, does not have the explosion attack but its charge can not be stopped via damage as it dives under the waves and attacks from below.
Phase 3: Ghost Karaken.
All the same attacks/effects as a standard Kraken but spawns ghost ships as well. Plus its suck attacks will remove loot and crates from the top deck if no players are present.
End of each phase
The fallen meg/kraken drops a few low value hunters loot items and spawns a chum feild. Two new types of bait/fish can be caught/killed around it: squid and Barracuda.Squid can be caught by caught by casting a line into then chum field and rapidly pulled it in. Squid is a universal bait, if no barracuda are present they can catch anyfish with an increased chance of catching rare fish. So valuable in their own way. To prevent exploits you cannot remove the squid from the hook, only catching a fish does this. Once you have a squid on your line you can recast it anywhere to try for a Barracuda.
Barracuda act similar to sharks but they are not visable from the deak of the ship due to being smaller and faster. You can either fish for them using the squid from the chum field or dive in and try to kill them using weapons. When they die they float to the surface like treasure fish. Once the last one is caught/killed the next phase starts after 30 seconds.
Barracuda Variants
Each region has a different Barracuda speacies and they come in four sizes of increasing value.
Juvenile at end of phase 1.
Adult at end of phase 2
Old at end of phase 3 plus one
Ancient, spawns after all Old Barracuda have been killes and is the equivalent to a CoL.The exact mechanics of each phase can be changed but you get the point of the general structure of the world event. Sea monster of some sort then fish up treasure.
