Fishing pole - pull button

07-12-2008, 07:37 PM

Just a minor thing - but since this game can be played without keyboard (excluding the chat) how about adding another button on the screen while fishing?
Its action would be the equivalent of pressing spacebar on keyboard.
You could title it "Set the hook" since it seems to be the way you call pulling the fishing rod when fish starts to bite. Simple "Pull" would be my choice.
I still havent tried other professions but if they also use only spacebar for actions - you could apply this there too.
Like i said - minor thing but devil (as always) is in the details.
Nice game btw

Great idea... So far.. alot of the skills like fishing and hunter and so on have like mini games.. Hunter you shoot with your Space bar and fishing you set hook with your space.. so it would be pretty cool... but kinda odd for hunting lol since you move where you shoot with you mouse.. maybe click to shoot or something for that.. idk but Nice idea Atrocitas

Its not about not having a keyboard - its about not having to use it.

DUH... OMFG.. JUST THOUGHT ABOUT IT..... Go to Start Menu, All Programs, then accessories then accessibility, then On screen Keyboard... Duh.. omfg sorry i didnt think about it.. pull up your on screen keyboard try to minimize it so you can only see space bar or hit F11 so that you can have more space for it

A button would be easier but then again.. who doesnt have a keyboard.. lol

"Its not about not having a keyboard - its about not having to use it."

You have said it yourself that button would be easier - so why not ask for it?!
I`m not bothered by spacebar but when you see an option to eliminate keyboard usage you should take it (as long as the alternative is easy to implement and logical). Interface 101.
And its hard to find something simpler and logical as button with text "Pull" when you are using a fishing rod to catch fish.
