Hey Luth, as much as I like go fish and go fish II, you really should bring out go fish III with a LOT more. On almostinteractive.com i think i said that the game isn't very popular... You said it gets hosted a lot, but I never see it hosted anymore!!! So maybe add make your own rods... Or make your own boat even? Point is, please keep making new versions of go fish :)
 
What good would building your own rod or boat do? Eventually, everyone who ever plays would be making the exact same rod or boat anyway, whatever was deemed as "best." While a fun-sounding idea, I think it would play out in much the same way bait does; people do without until they can afford the best.
 
Why don't you balance the rod parts and boat parts then. Just like with ladder in Warcraft 3, most orc players think tauren with shaman are the best, but they can be eaten up by a kodobeast and therefore countered efficiently, or with air. Try to balance it out like the best rod part has a 20% chance to break by having a heavy fish or the fastest boat engine has 5% chance of engine problems and breaks down for about 2 seconds. Try to balance it out like that and you should be fine.
 
Breaking rods, like Selling rods, is a bad idea. It can wind up putting the user in a position where he is unable to purchase a new rod, and is therefore out of the game. Thats a big No Fun.

Adding a 5% chance to break down for 2 secs on the Yacht probably wouldnt keep people from buying it. Most of the time in a boat is spent idling, and having your boat simply stop for no apparent reason other than "it just does that" would, I'm sure, prove to be just plain annoying, and wouldnt add any more Fun to the game. Making things worse for no explainable reason is something that I try to avoid; most people just find it unpleasing.

I appreciate the input, but I cant agree with these specific suggestions.
 
This is a good game, but it needs more rods, and I suggest a system that lets you choose what you look like instead of being the quillboar or w/e it is...also I think there should be a store that sells tomes of strength for like 1500 gold... :D and an unlimited day function xD
 
Necro from years and beyond however, I really love go fish and I've recently reinstall warcraft 3 to find that that great 1.24 patch has completely wasted many maps.

So does any lovely person wants to edit the code where possible to make it work again please do tell me.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
