Fishing Planet News

Bass fishing is quite an art of its own! And since Fishing Planet wants to help you become a more versatile bass angler, we decided to host a very special Bass tournament, dedicated entirely to Smallmouth Bass!



As any Bass angler knows, Smallies are angrier and much more fierce opponents than their Largemouth relatives, which makes the Tournament even more of a fun challenge! So whether you’re a mastermind Bass angler or just getting started in Smallmouth fishing, don’t hesitate to go on this competitive fishing journey for an exciting trip through some breathtaking fishing destinations - from the deep blue waters of Oregon’s Falcon Lake and the the mesmerizingly picturesque San Joaquin Delta in the sunny state of California in the two Qualifiers, to for the Semifinal Round on Michigan’s beautiful Saint-Croix Lake and over to the wide banks of North Carolina’s Neherrin River for the Grand Finale, in which 20 toughest and most skilled Smallmouth anglers will face each other in an epic showdown for the title of Smallmouth fishing Champion and many valuable prizes!

Grand Smallie’s Cup will be held November 20th through November 24th, with the Registration starting on November 18th.
The Tournament’s timetable is as follows:

• 18th of November - Registration for the Tournament begins.
  
• 20st of November - Qualifier 1 on Lake Falcon in Oregon.
  
• 21nd of November - Qualifier 2 San Joaquin Delta in California.
  
• 23th of November - Semifinal Round on Michigan’s Lake Saint-Croix.
  
• 24th of November - the Grand Finale on Neherrin River in North Carolina.

Hey friends!
Today we’ll tell you in more detail how these new competitions are going to look like in the game.
A new Custom Competitions menu will be added to the game interface that’ll feature a convenient list of all the user competitors both available and already played:



To create a Custom Competition, simply push CREATE and then either adjust all of the desired parameters in the competition settings menu or choose one of the preexisting competition templates.



Once you complete that step, you’ll find yourself in the Lobby of your newly created Custom Competition, while the event itself will be published in the list of competitions to be seen and joined by other players.

Competition Lobby is the place where players can look through the event details and chat with other participants.
At the time of the event, there will be a count-down followed by the start of the competition. All players who confirmed their participation (READY button) may then begin competing. Players that fail to confirm and are holding up the other participants, may be excluded from the competition by the Host. In case of pre-scheduled starts, all players who have not submitted their confirmation will be excluded automatically once the competition begins.



The Lobby for Team Competitions will be somewhat different, featuring a list of players divided according to their teams. The competition Host may personally assign players to their teams.



The Host’s authority pretty much ends there. Once the competition begins, the Host will participate on the same grounds as all the other players, having no further advantages.

We can’t wait to share our work with you and present this new functionality. The release is planned for the next week. Hope you’ll enjoy it!

Tight lines!

Hello, anglers!

It’s been a while since we last shared with you what we are working on. Today we’d like to talk about new functionality that is waiting for you in the upcoming release in the first half of November. This time we prepared for you a new type of Fishing Planet’s competitive events called Custom Competitions.

Unlike all regular (automated) competitions, Custom Competitions are User Generated Competitions and will be created by the anglers themselves. Players will also be able to fine-tune and adjust the multiple settings of these events, including rules, locations, time schedules, and participants.

We designed a whole array of new tools to make it more comfortable for you to create and host just the perfect angling competitions and set numerous parameters to your preferences:

• Templates - players can either choose from one of the preexisting competitive templates, or create a completely new competition.
  
• Formats - there will be a number of formats for user competitions, depending on the type of competition:
  • Free For All - players aim at getting the highest personal score.
    
  • Team Competition - participants are divided into two teams, and each player aims at getting the highest total team score.
    
  • Duel - a one-on-one competition format.
    
    
• Privacy:
  
  • Open competition - the event is open to anyone.
    
  • Private competition - the event is password protected.
    
    
• Entry Fee - competition fee for those who wish to participate.
  
• Initial Prize Pool - the amount of reward that the competition Host sets for the prize.
  
• Waterway for hosting the competition.
  
• Player LVLs that are admissible for participation.
  
• Maximum number of participants.
  
• Setting for Duration and Start of the competition.
  
  • Manual Start - competition begins after the Host starts it manually.
    
  • Scheduled Start - competition begins automatically at a set time.
    
    
• Game Time/Weather tuning.
  
• Qualifying Fish.
  
• Count of score points - either total fish caught or fish in the Keepnet.
  
• Set of score keeping Rule sets.
  
• Tackle Types that are required to use in order to earn score.
  
• Choice of admissible equipment.
  

Sponsored Competitions

Aside from standard User Generated Competitions, in the future there will also be Sponsored Competitions. These competitions have some special characteristics and might have unique sponsor rewards.

That’s all for now! We’ll share more details on how this functionality would work in our next issue of DD this Friday. Stay tuned!

At long last, here is the moment we’ve all been waiting for! The past week has seen you courageously fight some of the biggest and scariest underwater monsters, all to prove yourself worthy of the Gar-catching championship title in a heated competition with some of the best angling folk of Fishing Planet!
Now, the Final Round of the Tournament is over, and it is time to announce our Top-10 finalists, headed by the Three Glorious Winners of Gars&Glory Cup!
