JoeeyyMagzz Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Fishing That website contains some information about fishing in the Star Wars universe. Why is this, as well as an assortment of other minigames, not in the game yet? I honestly hate fishing in MMO's, but I know a ton of people love to do it. So, why not just add it to the game and give people something else to do besides stand around on the fleet waiting for queue's to pop for hours on end? I would probably even fish in this game so as not to stand around on the fleet and see all of the political/nonsensical chatter in General chat.

chuixupu Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Well, here was their take on it last July, mostly tongue -in-cheek, though http://www.swtorstrategies.com/2011/07/absolutely-no-fishing-in-swtor.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+theoldrepublic2+%28The+Old+Republic%29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanderII Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 We can't swimming on swtor, so I think a fishing system is sci-fiction for swtor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altyrell Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 We can't swimming on swtor, so I think a fishing system is sci-fiction for swtor Yeah but most of the water currently in the game isn't really deep enough to swim or is too polluted to swim in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuixupu Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Come to think of it, I don't think I can recall anywhere in the SW movies where they were ever in more than knee-deep water. Except for the mysterious dip in the trash compactor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the mysterious dip in the trash compactor. Dagobah, although it was a swamp, but still that was deep. Sank the whole X-wing. Also not shown I guess but Naboo has a lot of little bodies of water which I am sure were deep. Just never saw anyone in it. Oh the Gungan city was under the water and was deep. Episode 1.

chuixupu Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 OK, I'll admit that I have purposely blocked out much of Episode 1 from my memory, especially scenes involving Jar Jar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplius Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 fishing would not really fit here, but something in same category,,any fluff/fun would really help this game jawa hunting perhaps:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aital Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) Imagine if they made the planets real size and you could fly your ship over an ocean and fish a giant monster out. That would be cool... Then fight him. Edited November 3, 2012 by Aital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JekRendar Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 We can't swimming on swtor, so I think a fishing system is sci-fiction for swtor You couldn't fish in the Original Star Wars MMO, yet it had fishing since it launched nearly 10 years ago. In fact, it had a pretty in-depth fishing system at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win prizes for your amazing catches. Or maybe be able to fish out that rare crystal that is impossible to get any other way and is super rare. Or maybe fish out some old boots that are amazingly adaptive to your class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fornix Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Fishing, or whatever of the kind, I'd be all for it. The game seriously lacks non-combat activities. It's the entire non-heroic blabla crap the devs applied to suggestions like that during beta, what makes the majority of me and my guild now only log in for raiding, and get our gametime elsewhere. SWTOR has a lot to catch up in terms of that, non-combat activities are a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
