The new quest location is almost done - it has a puzzle, several packs of enemies and few quests that can be solved in various ways but we have one thing missing before we can call it done and this is what we are working on right now - the fishing!
If you find and assemble fishing pole you will be able to order your hero to go fishing and he or she will be able to obtain over 20 species of various fish - half of them inhabit the sea and the rest - rivers and lakes. The fish you can catch will depend on fishing place, climatic zone, location, hero fishing skill, current fishing pole you are using and so on.
Caught fish can be used to turn into food to feed your people, use it to tame animals, solve quests and so on - it will be integral part of the rest Totem Tribe experience. It won't be a separate minigame, but rather optinal tasks integrated into the rest of the game. We planned to do the fishing later but it was required for one quest in this new quest location so we decided to take time and implement it properly. Basically the fishing is the last big thing that separates us from launching alpha stage 2. Once we will implement it - it's tweaking and deployment and we are all set! What do you think about having fishing in the game? How detailed should we make it? Do you rememer the fishing quest in original Totem Tribe? Tell us about your fun fishing moments in real life if you had them :)

Great idea to have some fishing. Here are my detail suggestions... 1. Put circles on water to show places to fish, just like in TT1/TTG Frozen Vale island. 2. It is good you are going to have fish species specific to a location (for example trout in lakes and salmon in rivers along with other freshwater species plus herrings, etc, close in to shore and tropical fish in the tropics). 3. When a fish is caught, a pop up message should read "You caught a " with a small image of that fish, if possible. 4. Keep it random as to what fish is actually caught. I presume you intend to place more than one species in every location? Really looking forward to stage 2!

Fishing will be great! Willl you be able to fish anywhere or only in your own domain? I love the idea of sending my hero to the ocean to fish. I once went fishing at a lake that had just been stocked. We caught 21 fish that day. We let them all go.

Actually the image of the caught fish will not be small. The picture to the news depicts some of the actual species we have made fot the game already. The outcome of fishing is non-determined indeed. You never know what you catch - some fishes are common, others are rare, you can even catch an old boot :) |

You will fish in town/quest location, not on the world map, thus in order to fish in the sea/ocean you will need a town near the shore. |

I've been away from the game while I try to complete some work. This is a nice little surprise and I hope it can be launched when I finally have my work done. I agree with Kiwiaunty's suggestions. |

Will there be other rare items that can be caught while fishing, maybe a very rare random bag that could contain an item of gear or other item or maybe some of the really rare fish could offer temporary buff to your heros for a limited time. Nice to hear stage 2 almost finished cant wait to come join you guys :)

I don't mind in general, but I want to keep this place as clean as possible. We don't have signatures here for a reason. |

I agree that fish jumping out of the water would be much better than my earlier suggestion of circles on the water. Good idea NoOb. |

For landlocked towns, we won't be able to fish then? I know there will be a wipe of the current towns before Alpha 2 and I'm hoping each starting area will have the ability to expand to include some water areas of rivers, lakes or ocean. |

If you can take a look at your town location you will notice that there are small lakes everywhere (around your food spots, etc) even for towns that are not near river or sea. You will be able to fish there. However river has some particular species not found in lakes and sea has almost completely different set of species. |
