I see people fishing is this the update that they are doing something with fishing i hope they do not change it to much i have not fished in a very long time but it is one of the last things when it comes to crafts u can do and have fun doing it. One other point u can still make money fishing if u go after the right fish.

They tweaked fishing so it acts like it would on a PS2 so players who do not bot on the PC no longer have a disadvantage compared to ps2 players.

This is not a nerf, unless they screwed up... which is entirely possible :P

It is easier to fish on PS2.

For PC players who do not bot, it can be more difficult.

The fishing update makes PC fishing simulate PS2 fishing.

Funny if you have a gamepad with ANALOG axis it plays almost the same thing on PC as it plays on the PS2. I have tried playing the fishing game using the keyboard and it TOTALLY sucked on both PS2 and PC, honestly.

Was so much harder with the keyboard ... -_-;

I can't even play this game without my PS2 controller, and I play on the PC.

Funny, I couldn't play with a controller. I found the keyboard layout to be really comfortable for me.

Can't stand 'wasd' layouts though. <_<

I find so easy to play on keyboard. Index, middle and ring fingers of right hand to move the character, right thumb to move the camera, left hand to hit macros.

^ Same... I dont see how you can perform the hundreds of functions needed to play effeciently with a controller that can do maybe 20 functions? Granted I've never used a controller to play either so... To each thier own :)

All the functions needed can be done with controller, just talking through it is annoying, so I use keyboard just for typing in LS etc.

Plus on a controller movements are smooth with analog, but... well at least when I use a keyboard, they are all jaggedy and I run into walls >.>

Once you get used to moving the camera with your thumb, it becomes a lot more fluid.

Never really play games that way, always have with a controller. NES didn't need one, I don't see why I have to change D:!


plenty pc games and ffxi dont need a keyboard but me personally i can play with keyboard and controller perfectly and a keyboard is far more efficient.

I could never stand using the keyboard for most games, even ones that didn't allow you to use a controller at all. FFXI just takes it a step further and has a godawful mouse.

Even for games like WoW that are keyboard only, I use things like a Logitech G13 or Belkin n52te and only reach for the keyboard itself to type when needed (most communication is done via vent anyways).

Everything feels much smoother with a controller and typing has never been an issue, just drop the controller in my lap for a sec then pick it back up without skipping a beat; but after several years I guess you could get used to anything.

but at the same time, anything a person feels most familiar with will feel "smoother"
