World Boss and Fishing Dailies

carljokl

I am currently achievement hunting on my main character.

It occurred to me that we have a whole plethora of dailies already I know but two more would help particularly with achievement hunting.

Daily World Bosses.....These could be part of Undaunted or the Fighters Guild. It would be similar to the way Dark Anchors and Delves are chosen by dailies.
It would help to concentrate players on fighting specific world bosses so that players trying to get them all done are not stuck around many world bosses that rarely have anyone fighting them. Eventually if you keep doing dailies you will get through all the world bosses and unlock the achievements. This approach seems to work for dungeons, delves, and dark anchors though at least the last two are reasonably possible to solo if not. If it were possible to solo the world bosses it would be no big deal but it has been practically impossible since one Tamriel.

Fishing Writs....These would work much like provisioning or the Argonian quest in the new life festival. Pick up a writ. The writ will require fishing for and returning with certain types of fish. Another crate could be added to the drop off to drop off the fish. Fishing can be kind of dull. There are lots of fishing achievements that don't get a lot of love as a consequence. If Fishing were part of the daily writs it could give more incentive to fish and over time tick off all the different kinds of fish for the achievement. It is even possible rewards could include surveys where fishing spots contain higher densities of fish and being given fishing related rewards.

I didn't find any suggestions area of forum so I am just sticking it here.
I know suggestions may not get noticed but I thought I would suggest it anyway.

Fishing dailies would be cool. It would give more inspiration to tackle master angler at a slower pace with maybe a cool new armor style as the rewards.

Fishing daily is a good idea.
I think all the DLC zones have a daily quest involving a world boss. You get one a day but other players can share the other quest. (I believe, I just came back from a long break)

The world boss dailies do seem to work well for DLC areas and implementing an equivalent to the base game would be nice, as you say, via Undaunted or Fighters Guild. A lot of people seem to enjoy world bosses and it is aggravating when everything on the map is completed other than a few world bosses you can't find a group for. There would have to be some pretty good incentive for doing the base game world boss dailies when DLC ones have the chance to drop motifs though.

Also I don't know if it's any help but I've been able to solo quite a few base game world bosses by applying and reapplying a bunch of ranged DoTs / AoEs and running round in a circle letting the boss slowly die, it's not exactly fun but it is doable if you're after the achievements and can't find a group.

Fishing I don't really know enough to comment on but if other people like the sound of it them I'm all for it.

Fishing would only be a good daily if it was improved. Standing around and picking up housing furniture, gummy sacks, and bait does not sound like a good daily to me.

Once these 3 issues are removed from fishing, I'd wholly support and participate in dailies.

Hey, I like getting Kuta while fishing. They should just buff the contents, which they forgot to do when they buffed heavy sacks a while ago.

LOL.

You'd find 10 Kuta faster from runestones than it would take to get from fishing.

But I like your enthusiasm.

So Gunny Sacks are equivalent to Heavy Sacks in terms of contents? I don't think I have ever fished one but then I have hardly done any fishing in the game so far. I can't even remember which bait for what type of water. I have the New Life Festival recipe that helps with that though.

I am at the state on my main character that the world bosses are the only things left on the map to be completed except for the dungeons just added. I may end up having to get help from my guild for the world bosses. Ideally though I could do with about 4 or more people. I might feel a bit bad bothering them unless they need to complete the same world bosses. I don't know the likelihood we all need the same ones.

Not even close. Gummy sacks are random, and most are just filled with Ta runestones. Sure, a Kuta is possible, but the rarity of the stone + rarity of fishing makes it an impractical way to get them. They're just a nice surprise.

Worms = ocean
Insects = stream/river
Guts = lake
Crawlers = swamp

If you forget, just remind yourself "Wo Is" where "W = O" and "I = Stream". Guts is default to lake as crawlers are nasty for nasty water.

As for the other bait, get rid of it. Takes up inventory and offers no significant difference to the 4 above.

Enjoy your next cast!

This is a great idea, Loving World bosses myself it can sometimes be hard to find people to do them with, and a daily quest shared by multiple people seems like it would do the trick. I hope ZOS is listening...

Cloudtrader

What a great suggestion, I really like both of these ideas!

MasterSpatula

As someone who has Master Angler, I kind of prefer it being a title that shows you're crazy dedicated. I kind of don't want there to be any other incentives attached to it. I earned my craziness title!

The only problem I see with the world boss daily idea is the fact that the world bosses have quite a long respawn time. If you get there and it's already dead, you have to wait. Then if there are a bunch of people there already, they gank it as soon as it spawns, meaning you have to wait even more. And the longer you wait, the bigger chance that another group comes along to gank the kill again. I don't know about you, but I don't have all day to sit around waiting for a chance to try to kill one thing.

Dominoid

I like both these. Anything that brings more interest to existing content and the base game zones is good. Seems on the simpler side to implement too.

I may be stuck between a rock and a hard place here. On one hand being stuck waiting indefinitely for anyone to turn up to fight the world boss, which may never happen. On the other hand being stuck waiting for it to respawn after groups gank it. It means indefinite waiting either way.

It is possible that the world bosses that are part of the dailies could have their spawn times reduced to compensate for the ganking.

With or without world boss dailies there is time involved in waiting for it to spawn so that much is pretty constant. The problem is that if it spawns and you can't kill it then it could just despawn again while you are waiting for other players.

Fishing dailies is a cool idea, though it would require a revamp of the fishing system at large, I made a comprehensive post about this a while back, and fishing dailies would go well with my suggestions.

As for the guy who mentioned a new armor style as rewards - Coral Armor Motif. Make it happen

I am trying "Wocsglir" Worms Ocean, Crawlers Swamp, Guts Lakes, Insect Parts River. I have tried different arrangements of letter pairs but this is probably the most pronounceable even though it may be reminiscent of trying to create an acronym for the food maker machine in cloudy with a chance of meatballs.

I really like the idea of a fishing daily quest. Something like catch 10 fish from X spot so that you have a good change of having multiple people fishing the same hole to increase your rare fish chance. The reward could be random rare fish from that zone. It would really help with those fishing achievements.
