I don't really get the waiting for Auroria stuff. What do you think Auroria is going to add that isn't already in the game? Is a 10 man PvE experience that exciting? At most it'll have some big zerg battles for a day or two while castles are claimed. After that it'll be just like war time zones.

Yeah tonight was great. Full Apex merchant boat right off the bat. Followed up by dunking Wicked Goons using their patented piecemeal attack strategy. Then we sunk a red fishing boat and an Apex Cutter near Ynystere. Good times.

Would you have a different opinion if the people that left were also that ones that earned the stuff that had been collected?

We both know that isn't true. The first 2000g was donated within the first 10 minutes of dodgy asking for it and the stone came from pubbies and miners. If you're talking about the scheme you set up to gear the guild it's also not true seeing as Munion isn't playing any more and I still see fishers like myself in Goon Squad.

Every goon involved in the 2nd fishing event is now in wicked. Therefore its where it should be. The fact is we handed out 5 pieces of mag gear with the start of the belt. I have no control of where the other stuff went nor the care. Move along have fun and if non wicked goons still need help with packs to Free let me know how I can help. Vintorez has 40 plus packs on my land that can be moved.

Earn money or get hosed. PvP is fun, but it don't pay the regrade fees. Fishing before Auroria launched so you would be able to keep up, and focusing on getting maximum gear within the next six weeks isn't a waste.

All that fishing money didn't help Bluntmastergoku when I stole his Kraken Tentacle. It didn't help Wangja, Nagamatsuanimename and friends when we dunked them in seachild wharf. The real problem is most of you are awful at pvp and you still haven't figured out that gear won't save you.

Honestly the only thing that could possibly get me back into this game is the silly idea I had about submarines allowing you to do solo piracy. If the thunderstruck price comes crashing down, building a sub might actually be possible too.

Someone tell me how lovely they are so I don't end up actually trying this.

You don't need a submarine to solo pirate. I do it all the the time. What you do need is stealth, shadowstep, and swimfins. Hang out between cinder stone and solzreed. People run through there with packs all the time on clippers. Use stealth and swimfins to get close and shadowstep to victory.

Solo harpoon clipper works as well. By hitting numlock before you jump off the wheel you can keep speed for a bit and once the harpoon lands you can just reel them in till you're in shadowstep range.

Straight up stealing fishing boats can also be done solo. Just stealth around the boat till only one or two people are on it. Get to the wheel and take off. If they try and get to you use the AoE fear in witchcraft and they'll run off the boat.

Honestly, even if it takes them twice as long to pirate as it takes you to fish it up, that's still probably really good. That's also a couple of orders of magnitude better than what the Goon Squad pirating crew could manage.

Edit: This does, however sidestep a big issue, which is that pirating is never as sustainable as fishing for a sufficiently large group, because if you steal all of their fish, the fishermen won't keep fishing, then nobody makes any money, which was the entire reason for the ~evil fishing pact~ in the first place.

Fishers have been getting pirated for a long time. They still fish.

I am surprised no other people have on caught on to this technique.
Sit under the fish hole, and watch the fish, as soon as one dies you know there is going to be a guy with a pole jump in and pick it up. If he dies with the pack on it goes to the bottom, if he hasn't picked up yet it goes free loot. Buddy picks up fish and puts in boat.
Dahota's and fish chum both last 45 mins.

Why get one fish when you can just take the whole boat? Stealing from fishers is really easy and I've stolen full boats solo.

No way you guys produce content for me. Ever so often I come down and steal your boats full of fish. Last time I came down we were treated to the famous piecemeal attack plan goon fishers are know for. There were four of us and the fishers knew we were there so Nagamanimenametsu comes at us solo and dies. We laugh while trying to find a boat to steal when Wangja comes at us solo and dies. We laugh harder and decide to just chill and see how many will come at us one at a time. It was great we love goon/wicked fishers.

To be honest, it probably isn't really an issue.
