Hello, here’s a pretty neat idea for Bungie in the new social space- The Farm.
Now, I know what you’re thinking, why do we need fishing? Well, I’ll tell you. It adds a factor of fun and excitement, especially when you catch something cool. Here’s how it can be planned out
A fishing vendor, a robot with your average fishing gear and hat called FLY-F1SH3R will arrive at the pond. He sells fishing rods and bait. The bait costs glimmer or legendary marks. Of course, the legendary mark bait will be higher quality and has the potential to fish up better loot. There are 3 rods you can buy...
Tier 1 Rod- Hard Wood, breaks after 15 casts
Tier 2 Rod- Steel, breaks after 30 casts
Tier 3 Rod- Reinforced Steel, breaks after 50 casts
The rods will be unlocked via catching loot/items/fish for FLY-F1SH3R in quests. At the end of his quest line, he gives you his exotic heavy gun called “The Whalebane”, it’s a harpoon gun that holds up to 4 harpoons.
The Whalebane is an exotic heavy weapon, and it’s the only Harpoon Gun in the game. Its damage type is Arc, and its exotic perk allows for all 4 harpoons to be shot at once by holding the reload button. The harpoons will however have a decent sized spread, and do some less damage.
After the quest line, you can still fish for loot and fish. FLY-F1SH3R will still buy your fish for glimmer, which you can use to buy more bait.
To keep people motivated to fishing, there will be rare fish in the pond. These fish sell for LEGENDARY MARKS. Yes, these are worth quite a bounty and FLY-F1SH3R will gladly take them off your hands. All of your catches will be recorded in your fishing book, along with the date where you caught the fish.
The loot pool of the Pond consists of weapons (No heavy weapons), boxes of glimmer, unique consumables, and fish.
There will be 6 docks that guardians can fish off of.
So, that’s my idea. I hope you guys enjoy it :).
EDIT1- Just thought of another idea, fishing bounties! Such as catch 50 fish, catch a rare fish, or even catch-of-the-week bounties!
EDIT2- Ideas for consumables listed below-
1. Essence of Luck, increased chance of reeling in a Rare Fish
2. Essence of Power, infinite casts for the next 3 minutes
3. Essence of Fortune, increased chance of reeling in a box of glimmer
4. Essence of Venture, increased chance of reeling in a quest item (stops dropping after fishing quest line is finished)

And add farming also because you know it's the farm. Put in a seed of planet material and reap it later.

I can see it now Alright everyone got their stuff? Let's get this raid done. Wait a sec!! I got a big one on the line!! Player has been removed from fire team Lol

So a mixture of Monster Hunter and Final Fantasy then?

Why does this remind me of Zelda?

2 RepliesAlmost everyone I've played this year has had fishing (FFXV, Persona 5, Nier Automata, Dragon Quest Builders, Breath of the Wild, and Horizon Zero Dawn) so I I don't have a problem with adding fishing to D2.

6 RepliesNow we're getting into proper MMO territory with side-jobs. Which is not a bad thing.

I'd rather them make a safe knock off of Legend of Zelda BoTW and make boulder bowling.
-
If they had fishing with lots of possibilities to it, yeah I would really enjoy doing that. - Expand the turn back borders - Add jumping fish in the water - Various atmospheric sound effects would be nice, too - Throw some critters out in those woods, I wanna see a sasquatch
-
Yea make it like fishing in ocorina of time.
-
I think this is a very creative idea and I would like to see how it would work with the community.

5 RepliesThere already is... Bungie fishing our money out of our wallets.

Edited by TheCyo: 7/24/2017 8:32:28 AMYeah, add fishing to the game. Would have about the same action filled pace as the new PvP.
-
Pretty sure the rods would be better than half the guns in the beta.
-
How about a Wishing Well? You throw a 3 of coins in the well before you go visit the cryptarch.. maybe RNGusus will smile uppon you...
-
I like it! I think we could also use a sniper shooting gallery and a basketball court.
-
What time does Umphreys play the farm?
