Re: I miss the old "chance style" fishing.

On the downside, I lost 3 PS2 controllers to the new fishing system in catching the more active fish. If you're using a PS2 controller for fishing, I highly suggest switching to the keyboard for fishing. I had one L3 button fall right off... er... snap off, one just stopped working all together and the third screwed up how I would run.

Well, I don't know what to say.

Either you got bad controllers of you're incredibly strong.

Remind me not to get on your bad side.

Now THAT is what I call thinking.



+rep for great idea

Hmm... what are the keyboard controlls for a ps2, i've tried the arrow keys but they don't do anything. Do I have to unplug my ps2 controller for them to initialize or are they different keys?

I'm pretty sure it's the number pad, but I always just use the controller.


Don't forget about the manual though :D


Also you can re-map the keys under config.

you can set it to compaq mode. with compaq mode it gives you movement control with asdw in addition to the num pad controls. And you can fish with a/d

If you're breaking controllers, you may just be getting a tad too enthusiastic ... although fishing uses the analog part of the controller, it is NOT actually analog ... you will get just as good of results gently pulling a small amount to the side vs hardcore smashing the direction.

But smashing is more fun!

My husband and I both do fishing in the game. After the third one busted from both of us being "a tad too enthusiastic", I've been naggingly reminding him to use the keyboard to fish. He's more enthusiastic with our poor controllers then I am.

Now if only I can convince the NMs in the game to stop flocking to him everytime he logs on.

Perhaps he could wield an old Xbox controller, those weigh about 40lbs and might not break as easily.


As easily as a PS2 controller, or keyboard.


I mean of all my years of playing PS2, I've never broken a controller.


If I could draw I'd make a comic about this.


And this is the closer.

Re: I miss the old "chance style" fishing.

It's true though. Every time he plays, he runs into 2-3 NMs minimum while he's farming. It's like they know when it's him playing and not me using his character for farming since I'm lucky if I get to actually see one every 6 months, and rarely get to fight them.

But back on the topic of fishing... My goal of 10 000 moat carps for my Lu Shang's has inched a little closer now. 606/10k. At the rate I'm fishing up carps, I'll have it by next year sometime... I hope.

Re: I miss the old "chance style" fishing.

I like the new fishing system, but I hate the carpal tunnel syndrome I feel coming on because of it.

Pressing and holding is ok, but for those fighting fish where you have to tap like a madman, it's nuts to fish for hours at a time.

Good thing I don't have a controller though...I could definitely break me some hardware when "Your rod breaks. Whatever you were trying to catch was too big for this pole."

Hehe, yeah, I'm surprised even Lu can stand up to some of those .. and no surprise it breaks on Ryugu, which is usually about 2x as big as Titanictus.
