I agree they should make the Improved Rod's price in gold even though it's considered a premium item with the Drag function. The balancing of this can be done with the added variety of fish which you guys already suggested. Maybe they could make the Improved Rod available for purchase when the player reaches a certain level if they do the above changes? Just a suggestion. Good idea! I'll add that to the fishing section now  I read all the posts that get made in threads I make, Aashlly. You made a very valid point, thank you so much for your input. Just to put this in here, I have the best rod (I got it before it was gems), but I never use the drag function because it's so difficult to use! It moves the pointer to the left really fast, so I always just end up loosing my bait when I press on it ^^; But that might just be because I'm hopeless. |

I find the best method of using drag - depending on the fish - is to just tap it. It shoots it down only a little bit then, and then I can continue reeling. Sometimes I tap drag, reel, drag, reel etc. in quick succession ((using my mouse on drag and spacebar on reel)), just to get it even ... and if I'm not concentrating, I overshoot. But for the most part, it works for me. |

Don't be discouraged if it takes a while; it took me a fair while to get used to the function, and with practice I've now got a 100% catch rate. |

I found a very useful tip from another user on here (can't remember who or where I found it/got it from), but they suggested when drag is needed, continue to reel with the spacebar while you click the drag button. It works beautifully! (Yes, I also got an advanced rod before they became gems). The drag still is pretty quick, but it doesn't seem to be quite so bad. Also, avoid fishing when lag is causing low fps - fish in your farm. There's never any of that there (I love that)! Unfortunately that keeps me from catching halibuts, etc. but it works. |

* TROLL HUNTING"Trolls exist! They steal your socks. But only the left ones ... What's up with that?" What I'm suggesting sounds ruthless thanks to the name but I'm keeping it along HTTYD standards. I propose we have the ability to "hunt" trolls ((being that we find them hiding in forests or caves or whatever)) and we get our socks back. The trolls will constantly be on the move and will be in randomly placed areas, and if there were enough locations it could be changeable each day; also, if there were only a set amount of trolls available and you could only find each one once a day, that'd keep people from ... uh ... "farming" them, I guess. Once you've recovered your socks you could get Viking exp., a gold reward ... maybe some dragon exp., depending. And with the influx of socks we could donate them the shop to be washed and recycled into patchwork clothing, or into the void that is the job board (("TROLL HUNTING: Recover 10 left socks")). * TAG / FREE-HUG YOUR VIKING FRIENDSOkay, I have to admit this may be a bit of a joke suggestion, but I read an article ((safe link, I promise!)) the other day about a group of guys who had been living in a constant game of tag since their childhood, and it got me to thinking about viking interraction in the game. It'd be kinda cool if you could tag or hug the people on your friends list if you come across them in the game ((I realise there must be several servers, as whenever my partner and I play the game together we can never find each other in-game, despite being on each other's lists and despite being in the same locations as one another)). You could get viking experience, maybe a little gold, and there could be precautions made - a cooling period, say - to ensure that you couldn't tag / hug someone back immediately ((say a few minutes, a half hour, an hour, a day, or whatever)), giving the other person ample time to run ((this would also prevent tag-hug spam)). Only allowing this for people on each other's friends list would stop surprise tackles of tags or hugs on random strangers, as it could probably get rather annoying to be interrupted by a tag/hug from a total stranger. Also, there could be times when tagging/hugging can't be done to a person, like when they're in one of the games, in FC, or if they're fishing.

I really love all your ideas! I wish I could come up with some like that!
Haha, this was a reply to your previous post about that treasure hunting o3o

Okay, I have to admit this may be a bit of a joke suggestion, but I read an article ((safe link, I promise!)) That article is great XD Isn't it just? I might consider starting it with some of my online friends that I meet up with only now and again when there's a specific event on, as we all live across the country. Oh, and forgot to put this up before: * TREASURE HUNTINGI know there's buyable treasure in the shop, but really, that's no fun. I'm sorry, but it's not. It'd be cool if we cold head on out into the world ((wherever)) and find random treasure chests. Sometimes you can get gold, sometimes clothing, sometimes farmig stuff, or fish, or even a small amount of gems! Like the trolls, they could be in random areas and reposition themselves daily, and each one can only be found once a day/week ((possibly the latter would be preferrable, otherwise that's too much in the system too quickly)). Finding and opening a chest could also grant you Viking exp. We could even be given the treasure hunt in the form of a mini quest, where we find a bit of parchment with a clue directing us to the location of the chest/s, but wouldn't be visible by the quest arrow, making the hunt all the more gratifying of actually having worked something out for ourselves. EDIT: And thank you! Admittedly, some of these have been kicked off thanks to my partner, so it's not just me. |

hi everyone.
I was hoping that there would be a special kind of race like:
- The race against HTTYD characters. (imagined you get to race against Hiccup, Stoick or Astrid)
- Mission that involves you to use your dragon to;
-find the troublemaker, thieves or dragons that has been causing trouble around the island and shoot them a number of times to defeat them.
-help the berk people to catch fish in the sea by shooting fishes in the water or swim in the water and scare them.
-help the berk people to round up all the yak, sheep or boar around the island by shooting/ scare them.
-drive away the Outcast boats from reaching the island by attacking them.
- At a certain date, Thawfest event where online players compete with their Vikings and Dragons just like in the series.
- At a certain date, Bork Week performance events where players get teammate to perform flight performance in the school.
- At a certain date, Dragon Grand Prix where online players compete in race to get to the top and win coins.

I'm not sure if shooting would fit the kid-friendly theme SoD's got going for it. But apart from that, some very interesting ideas, there. |

I mean, my thread is so far underneath all these other threads it's probably fossilized by now. Besides, I'm just hoping that if enough people are into the idea of troll hunting that the designers will bring it into the game. |
