fishing seems to be, a little unrealistic in runescape. i mean. yeh sure you can fish sardines and anchovies at the waterside with a net? but not sharks and swordfish with harpoons? therefore i suggest. A player owned fishing boat, you can go where you like through the runescape seas, gear up your boat with bigger and better accesories and choose a port to dock it at? swordfish and sharks wouldnt just hang around waterside docks. they would be out in deep, far oceans. A variety of boats for varied fishing levels. Boats get better as you get a higher fishing level, able to be bought at g.e? or possibly even player made, to add to the construction side of things. feed back what you think?

You mean sailing?

unspam my spam:

It's true fishing is a bit unrealistic, but, I feel having a boat would have too long an animation or something and banking would be a hassle.

well yeh? .....

Sailing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I don't know about this. it sounds fun but it would probably get annoying. There's already the trawler which is similar to your idea but not quite the same. As an avid fisherman I would like to see some kind of fishing update but I don't think this idea is very probable

just to go to your own boat at port sarim, get in ( possibly invite a friend ) and off you pop to the ocean somewhere with some if your own gear?

banking you say?! ha well i have a plan for that ;) are sailing boats not equiped to hold massess of fish untill they dock? ;) just put the fish in a large crate on your boat and bank them when you have loads? and the long animations? well make sailing just as if you were walking?

and we need to make sharks 500 bite items too, i mean who eats a entire shark in one bite!

I would like to see more of an emphasis on trawler fishing. It really is a lot of fun (and a good bit more realistic also).

Asking for logic in a game is like asking for a bagel at a butcher's shop.

 

In other words, fishing is fine as is.

So many people complain about making RuneScape more realistic, but there are so many things that aren't, it would be stupid to start fixing them.

 

Games aren't always meant to be realistic. Once you start trying to make everything that way, you lose a huge fun factor.

just thought it would be fun for player owned sailing boat.....

You are suggesting that Fishing be "improved" because you do not feel it is realistic enough and feel it would be more fun if your idea was implemented.

 

However, it is not practical to do a complete overhaul of fishing.

 

While I do agree that the idea sounds like fun, a much better idea would've been to aim your suggestion at improving the Fishing Trawler, rather than add a whole new concept to fishing or do a complete overhaul.

Ugh, please, no sailing skill.

 

What's next... Well in reality trees take more then a couple seconds to regrow, so we should nerf that too.

Its a game and your right it is unrealistic to think sharks come into really shallow water but the programming needed to allow for individual boats would be prohibitive.
