There’s fishing bait

[sierra]

Saw on @acpocketnews there?s fishing bait or what looks to be very much like it. I?m honestly loving all these little new intricacies and complexities of this game. This so cool.

I am really excited for this.

I was hoping they removed the crafting of bait.

I've always enjoyed just dropping a line in anytime. Now what happens if there aren't any clam shells to craft?

We can't fish?

I think the bait is just for increased luck. I dunno for sure though

Speaking of luck, I hope Katrina is back with the lucky hats.

That's all I ever used when going to Tortimer island early in the morning.

We've seen so many players fish with no bait in the direct and teasers. There's no way this is an actual concern lmao

Hell yep!! Dare I say no more 397/1 sea bass to coelacanth ratio?

Bait brings upon us the age of prosperity. No more shall we suffer with pockets full of sea bass..... but with sharks, coelacanths, and other fish of value

Those are the problems I want to have

I wasn't concerned.
I just didn't see the point in adding another grind, when we've never needed bait before.

I don't mind it, but when you add everything up, it doesn't leave much time for RL.

i wonder how many different kinds of bait we can make! i remember in the E3 direct they dug up a clam shooting waterspouts and the player character thought up a DIY recipe for bait on the spot. makes you wonder what exactly can turn into bait. perhaps other fish...?

 

[sierra]

I like the way you think.

 

[MKInfinite]

Way back in E3, the developers said that you can use clams that are hidden on the sand to make bait. So no, you won't be killing any virtual whatever, you're just gonna use clams to make bait. Another crafting material, so to speak.

I suppose bait will be used to "summon" (for a lack of a better word) fish instantly instead of walking around waiting for a shadow to spawn. I think I saw Justin talking about this on the ACWorld website way back when actually.

 

[tajikey]

Bring it on. All these little extra tasks add depth to what is already turning out to be a true AAA title.

 

[Luca]

And you've killed mine.

I can't help having a respect for all living creatures.

Dude you gotta stop replying on every single NH excitement thread with so much negativity and pretentiousness, it's getting really exhausting to see over and over...


I'm imagining that there will be some types of fish that need specific types of bait to catch them! Or maybe just that bait will make rarer fish easier to catch... I wonder if there will be any similar new mechanics related to catching bugs, maybe more things along the lines of rotten fruit attracting ants and lights attracting bugs.

Now we need traps for wasps, tarantulas, and scorpions so they can stay the heck away.

Um, that's why you have a net... duh!

I know, but this is for when you miss. I probably miss 4 out of 5 times when a tarantula is around. lol

 

[aikatears]

Could be use for getting the rare fish to show up.
