While in a fishing round
If you start to lag hard just click fast goto town then send the rod to another character before loging off ladderslasher.

If you don't send rod after going to town it will be broken!

I do also use the login screen method too but only when there is something really bad going on with lag.

Should only be 2 turns of inactivity for fishing before you get auto booted in my opinion

when you log off the game seems to save the current situation. so the rod is in your inventory until it snaps. if you log off before it snaps, it stays

Old topic, but here is an example of what I meant. There should be a lag protection as I dont think Paul meant for us to lose the rods due to lag/bad connection

I've never had this issue but I would say Paul definitely thought of you breaking rods to lag. He doesn't care if HC characters die because of lag so I doubt he cares about a fishing rod

in hc, if you get 3 hits without reacting you get back in town.
this is all Im saying if you cannot act for 3 turns to get release the hook.

I dont care here about the fg or the rod, its not normal to lose them this way.
I prefer fishing to be 10 times harder, but fair

If Paul does something or not... its up to him

I can understand that for fishing it makes alot of sense.

but stuff like muting/glyphing and such I think its a bad idea because people will abuse it.

If youre muting/glyphs going to shit just stop acting and hope to god the lag counter saves you instead of going through with it and losing regardless.

but, for fishing you can abort fish even if losing and still keep a rod, so i dont see why 3-4 missed actions could be implemented to act as an anti-lag.

... hm

I like fishing
