Fishing? Comments wanted

[Tyler_Sharp 16]

I have played Day Z for a while and i have seen pond and lakes and i wondered if fishing would be a smart idea. Ponds and lakes at the moments dont have much value, all you can do it fill a bottle of water up as you pass by but i think fishing would one make ponds and lakes more valuable and two make a few new additions to the game.

Items related:

Fishing rod: Found on ports and in civilian buildings (about a 1/10 chance for both)

Bate: This is a hard one. Should there be fish bate that spawns next to the rod like ammo does for guns or should there be a way to use beans or cook/raw meat as bate?

Fish: Fish should be raw and need to be cooked (same as raw meat). The cooked fish should add put your food to 100% but how much blood should you get? 800 is what you get from raw meat so if fish are harder to get should you get say 1000 blood?

Questions (please answer some of my questions in your comments):

1# Should there be fish bate that spawns next to the rod like ammo does for guns or should there be a way to use beans or cook/raw meat as bate?

2# Should the rod need to be fixed like a vehicle but instead or fuel and metal you have to get string and hooks?

3# How much blood should you get? 800 is what you get from raw meat so if fish are harder to get should you get say 1000 blood?

4# How long or how hard should it be to get the fish?

5# Should the string, hook and rod be able to break meaning if the hook breaks you need a new hook or if the string breaks you need new string and hook or if the rod breaks you need a new everything?

6# What do you think of this idea?

Dude, honestly. This is so NOT NEEDED. Just think about it. That's my opinion, anyway.

Seems completely useless, killing a Cow and gutting it for some meat takes no time at all and as a result of which it puts you in relatively little amounts of danger. However, if you was to sit there fishing you'd probably get a Hatchet to the back of your head.

Would be fun but not needed IMO

Things like that won't deepen the game play, it's just dressing up a feature that already exists.

My opinion is that gut animal is way to fast for now !

Should take at least 2 min i think :) Just as cock meat is way to fast to!

Add river and fishing would be a good thing from my point of view.

Excellent idea, all the new survivors on the coast will now sit still fishing. --> AS50 to the head

[Tabarnator 10]

At least the boat will be useful for something. :)

Don't feed it.

[Kniekehlenheinrich 7]

It would make more players live near the coast. BEANS!!!

Good idea and fits with the simulator-like environment.

[JamesR 74]

Why not add it? Wouldn't take anything away from the game and it adds a new food source.

I would love to see the fishing, really waiting for this option. But my idea of it is to drop fishnets in some spots, so you have to wait like half a day or longer till there is one or more fish in it... or none.

You should also be able to steal someone else's nets or empty them
