I recall reading in someones thread about FanFest that the devs were disappointed that more people didnt fish.I have always thought that fishing should be a relaxing event as most people do in real life. Why shouldnt fishing heal battle fatigue?
I mean seriously... it could go uber slow like novice ent level but would be enough to allow someone to stay out in the wild a tad bit longer. I can heal all wounds in my camps but bf I "have" to go to a cantina for. With the hologrinders disappearing there will be alot fewer dancers and musicians I am willing to bet.Being able to buff one or two stats in such a boring manner and never anyplace but the cantina will run off alot of but the true roleplayers and people who love the profession.
Giving us a camp module that would allow bf healing in the wilderness would be great but this way anybody would be able to do it (slowly). This would also create another items for artisans to actually sell instead of ignore on their datapad. This would also increase fish quantities for chefs and whatever profession can use it.
I might post this in the Entertainer/Dancer/Musician forum tho I doubt it will be well received.
Any thoughts?
Edit: Better yet, instead of lowering it why not have it lower it temporarily then would returna bit faster til fishing just wouldnt cut it anymore. Then you would still have your reason to go see an entertainer.

Well, as much as people praise the UI in this game. It just doesn't fit for fun mini-games.
They were also disappointed about the lack of people using the current 'casino' mini-games but really, they are just plain boring. Generic pop-up boxes with boring text messages.
When they changed the 'classic' containers in UO with "UO: Third Dawn" people were outraged. Sounds silly but that's how important the UI is for people when it comes to enjoying this kind of content.
As far as being able to heal BF while fishing. Hmmm, I'd have to say no. I'd much rather have BF healing added to our HTFB, via entertainers of course.
We Rangers, of all people, should know how much it sucks to have a profession slowly picked apart by changes in game-mechanics and other professions.

I think just increasing the amount of meat you get per fish would increase the interest. I mean, people enjoy fishing for its own sake, but getting rewarded for it is even better. Right now fishing gives a frustratingly small amount and my inventory fills up way too fast. Even when I am enjoying the game itself, I get slightly sour when I see the amount of fish meat. And after I spend 5 minutes deleting allt he empty carcasses lol!
If there were more kinds of fish I would be more interested too. Or maybe just one really cool rare fish to try for. You know, the one that always gets away!

thats a good idea about the bf. the fishing and survival aspects of it. imho our htfb is the most advanced structure or anything for that matter that a player can make. look at current and potential of our htfb. why couldnt there be like a holographic entertainer that pops up in your camp to heal bf. it wouldnt drop as rapidly as in an actual cantina, but along hte same rate as wound heals. there isnothing better to be on the far east side of yavin and realiseing you have 500 bf then having to drive 30 minutes to the nearest outpost to go to coronet. good idea kai
