January 2019

• Post #1 Happy New Year!

Updated caching code on forum names.. instead of seeing a random blank name.. should be fixed now, let me know if not. Going through and fixing up any other recent issues.

• Post #2 Fixed an issue where you can start a quest, invite a friend, start the quest again, and invite the friend again.. causing some friends to join the wrong quest, etc..

Now if you have a pending request to join a quest, and try to start it.. you need to respond to the invite first.. Or if you've invited a friend and they haven't responded.. you need to quit that quest before starting it again.. to prevent this issue from happening.

• Post #3 In regards to quest changes, you can now delete a quest invite... as you can be locked out to start a quest solo, if a friend you invite is unresponsive.. They'll receive an alert saying you deleted the request to join. Seems like a long overdue feature addition.

• Post #4 The Trimmed Tragedy and Garbage Cleanup collections had a typo in their rewards.. Just rewards you with a "Bounty Hunter License" and not the actual renewal.. to renew it, you need to activate it.. caused some confusion..

The Roperian Coast Guard will no longer deport you for fishing with an expired bounty hunter license and the Remediator pole.

• Post #5 When you've rehabilitated a fish or a polluter over a week ago, the slider bar on the image, will be all the way to the right side, showing the fully rehabilitated version. A bug caused the slider to disappear..

• Post #6 Fixed the tournament schedule display, for when you haven't yet joined.. was showing wrong schedule for Farovian Tournaments.

• Post #7 Added confirmation on removing crew member link.. also added in a FB msg button, to quickly message an old mate.

• Post #8 As stated last month, I've sped up pole leveling for poles released over a year ago, that I haven't yet sped up. If you own any of these poles, you will notice a sudden jump in leveling. We do this to keep passive players interested.

2x faster leveling for: -Sling Spear, Torpedo Spear, Electro Spear (Shipwreck Explorer) (not sure why this wasn't sped up before) -Lost Kayu, Lost Ikan (Lost Temple) -Fariana Submarina (Fariana Trench)

I'll be speeding up the Reelistic in a few months.. as it's not yet been a year for it.

• Post #9 Tragedy Reef night fishing catches were resetting the sliders back to center on rehabilitated fish and polluters.. should be fixed now, so after a week of rehabilitation, the slider will be all the way right.

• Post #10 Fixed issue with Top 100 Catches for most of the newly released fish not being reported in user profile records.. should be solid from here on out.

• Post #11 For the upcoming Plastic Island release, you'll need to purchase the Garbage Sweeper to clean up even bigger pieces of ocean trash.. an additional requirement to purchase it is to have completed the Trimmed Tragedy collection at least once, to prove you are willing and capable of cleaning up loads of trash. ;)

fw/collectable/trimmed-tragedy

• Post #12 Re-ordered the fish lists of Tragedy Reef / Plastic Island to display the Deputy fish, then the Remediator fish for that next pole level.. It first showed all Deputy Fish, then all Remediator Fish.. which I don't prefer as a sorting method for the fish display.

• Post #13 Added in forward/back links to the fish lists per town.. so you can quickly jump to the prev/next town to see which fish ya need. ;) :fw/fish

• Post #14 I've made some really hefty changes to the tournaments.. I'm going to release them now, if you're currently not in a tournament, you should be able to see them to join..

If you'd like to join it, and are not in a current tournament.. you'll be able to see it when going to:

fw/my?beta-test-new-tournament=1

If you join this new tournament, there will be no months end FLC payouts.. it's just to debug things for when it goes live in Februrary.

Anyone who joins now, will only have an option to join this new tournament format..

The exact # of tournaments per region is still up in the air.. Please look for duplicate reports before reporting a bug with tournaments.

Again we're not paying out FLC for this tournament.. just want to test it before it goes live in February.. please report any bugs to the forums.. look for duplicate reports.

• Post #16 Improved all sorts of display for tournaments.. can easily see the monthly FLC payouts.. and the schedule for each tournament:

fw/tournament-leaderboard?class=33 (New: 'All Farovia' tournament)

fw/tournament-leaderboard?class=43 (New: 'All Roperia' tournament)

• Post #17 Removed Tragedy Reef from the new beta tournament in Roperia.. as it could have given some players unfair leveling while people race to level the Remediator and Deputy. This change impacted the pole that's allowed to be used today in Freezberg Brewhaus.

• Post #18 Added in new forum topic labels of "Assigned" for when our moderators update me on the exact issue and it's in the "pipeline" of being marked as "Resolved"..

• Post #19 The new tournament format will go live March 1st, so everyone has an option in Farovia of beta testing either version.. Some things I read in the bug reports scared me, mainly with being able to do multiple locations or it telling you to go to the wrong location some days.

If you'd like to beta test the new tournament format, go to: https://apps.facebook.com/fishwrangler/my?beta-test-new-tournament=1 after2am Feb 1st.

Minimal FLC will be awarded at months end FYI.. I know this is highly unlike me, as I love releasing things ASAP, but I'd like everyone to have a chance beta testing it, if they so choose.

February 2019

Link

• Post #1 Removed Tragedy Reef and Plastic Island from February tournaments.. will be added in for the March tournaments. This will effect the entire rotation.. as of right now.

If you'd like to beta test the new tournaments, go to: https://apps.facebook.com/fishwrangler/my?beta-test-new-tournament=1

• Post #2 Accidentally paid out rubies for new beta tournaments about an hour ago.. not sure if this will mess up payouts for tonight.. I think it may. It looks like I haven't yet paid out rubies for the new beta tournaments yet.. (I thought it was) so wanting to see how that goes for Feb 2nd/Feb 3rd..

• Post #3 Improved the random selection of towns for each tournament month.. (mainly effects the "All Level" divisions).. This will impact todays non-beta tournament as well.. (Sorry.. I don't think it'll majorly effect the entire month)

• Post #4 Added Glacier Shack to "New Roperia" division.. this will again effect the schedule.

• Post #5 Paid out rubies for beta farovia tournaments. Adjusted how the season rank and todays rank is displayed on the tournament page.. (Now showing your actual rank on season.. updated after rubies are paid out each night)

Corrected tourny schedules after the 8th day..

March 2019

Link

• Post #1 If you joined old tournament format via bug, you will be creditted 45 FLC upon leaving the tournament. You'll have a week to collect the FLC before being auto-removed.

Changed the tournament join button, so it's not overflowing off page and not visible.

Removed old tournament division leaderboard links. Updating payouts of new tournament format.

• Post #2 You can now join any tournament you'd like.. You'll be told how many pole requirements you've failed.. and are given the option to bypass the error regardless.. It's up to players to determine if they'll have a chance or not.

Updated payouts of new tournaments. 1st place rewards around 5,000 Free Love Chum..

• Post #3 Tragedy Reef and Plastic Island will be removed from "All Roperia" tournament March 4th @ 12am FVT.. which will auto- adjust the tournament schedule. This change is to give more people a chance at "All Roperia" that aren't yet at the forefront.. and to create more of a schedule difference between the "All Roperia" and "New Roperia".

• Post #4 The Ancient Mariner will now automatically whisk you away to the days tournament location.. Gotta love that ol' man.

• Post #5 Changed the Original divisions to only allow wranglers at Incredible class and below.. (Was Legendaire and below before.. which is just too high of a class and a bit unfair)

Updated the tournament division payouts to be higher for the more difficult divisions.. as the short description blurb mentioned in the drop downs upon joining..

Lowered the top/bottom daily FLC payouts for the tournaments.. and no restriction on the number of people in that days tournament.. (use to require 25+ people.. which should always be the case)

• Post #6 Released details for new mid-level tournament divisions.. let us know what you think the max class level should be for entering.. thanks for all the feedback thus far.. you guys have helped shape the tournaments into something new a fresh.

• Post #7 It appears Facebook's wednesday code push has back fired.. as you can't get in via apps.facebook.com.. hopefully everyone has their email set up to play on fish-wrangler.com.. can't report the bug to FB either as that platform is down too.. have to just wait. https://developers.facebook.com/support/bugs/

• Post #8 I'm tracking users who are using autobots, and you'll now see a message stating: AutoBot's are against the Fish Wrangler Terms of Service. Please disable it immediately or you'll be banned for each day you've offended. It's not fair to all the players who play without one.

https://fish-wrangler.com/tos.html

I'll begin enforcing cooldown bans mid-april.. so players do have some times if confused on removing them.

I may actually make some sort of feature in future to allow some sort of more passive fishing feature, because I don't see harm in making a more passive option.. but what's not fair is some players using bots and others not.. and then me not enforcing the rules.. just want to keep things fair.

• Post #9 Added in the quests each fish belongs to on it's fish page.. Miny Fish:

Quests:	Miny Medley (18) & Carpe Sliders (9)

fw/fish/miny

• Post #1 Joe,I may actually make some sort of feature in future to allow some sort of more passive fishing feature, because I don't see harm in making a more passive option

How about,instead of 30 mins on the fish now timer...(2 fish nows) Make it ,1 hour (4 fish nows.. ) Same result,more passive.  :)

April 2019

Link

• Post #1 April Tournament issues are reported. Please continue to report the issues here:

https://fish-wrangler.com/fishwrangler/forum/bugs?id=117059

• Post #2 Fixed tournament issues.. going to deduct the 45 FLC that was wrongfully given upon leaving tournaments.. if you have < 45 FLC, you'll go negativo.

You can leave a tournament once an hour.. so if you're stuck in aspiring, just wait to leave..

• Post #3 Drastically improved the leaderboard page.. can see exact farovian/roperian points, gold, and trips.. Added back silver/gold ranking pages. :fw/leaderboard See header for links to paginated pages.

• Post #4 Some people still stayed in Aspiring class tournament due to bug, which then led to error 500's while traveling.. officially cleared everyone out of aspiring class tourny.

• Post #5 Sorry about downtime this morning.. was related to new code I was working on yesterday. Still working on "Daily Reward" feature.. just wanted to give an update on the direction I'm going, which is subject to change via user feedback once it's released:

-You automatically open the "Daily Mystery Crate" on your 6th fishing trip or SKIP of the day. -Similar rewards to the 1st and last MTB that you open each day.. but different daily actions effect your luck of getting a better reward, such as: Tournament Casts, collecting crates for consecutive days, making quest catches, taking crew fishing, night fishing previous day, opening MTB's, entering the raffle and visiting the forum.. along with a couple secret luck multipliers that I'll let you guys figure out once coded in.

-All of the daily actions have diminishing returns on luck.

Hoping to make this as simple and clear as possible for all users.. and to encourage various daily actions... mainly the daily tournaments/quest catches.

• Post #6 The Daily Mystery Tackle Crate will reward you your daily login points as well.. (however your days seen count will still be incremented as per usual - right when you click in on a new day)... this is so we consolidate two similar features.. So if you just click in and don't do 6 trips to open a mystery tackle crate, you won't get your daily login points for that day.

• Post #7 Adjusted bottom 5 FLC payouts for tournaments.. you must have done all 15 casts do be eligible now..

• Post #8 So I've kept the Daily Login Bonus as it was... To keep things fair, no one will receive the daily login points for today.. That payout will resume tomorrow.. you did not lose any 'log in' days.. as this code change didn't effect that.. sorry for this confusion.. code was half-pushed and messed this up today.

The Mystery Tackle Crate will now open after your 6th trip... please questions/issues on the forums.. so we can address things publicly.

• Post #9 Mystery Tackle Crate updates:

I changed it so when you click the Mystery Tackle Crate box.. it reloads the stats.. as I feel people may have been looking at old data.

Changed it so it locks your stats after collecting.. which I also think confused people.

Time deductions now work.

• Post #10 The daily FLC raffle now can be re-entered at midnight FVT. The only thing out of sync of the Daily Mystery Tackle Crate are tournaments.. they start at 2am FVT.. going to have to think on changing this one.. it's a pretty major change and I don't want to break tournaments..

May 2019

Link

• Post #1 Wranglers have spotted the mythical Cthulhu in Innsmouth Island, Farovia and the Polymer Polisher in Plastic Island, Roperia! Check your night fishing page for details on how to start analyzing these Mythical Night Fish! :fw/night-fishing

Also, all features will soon reset at midnight instead of 2am daily.. (Tournaments, Scuba Fishing, Lava Fishing, Tarpits, Ice Cubes, DH vouchers, MTB's, Auto login) This is so that everything is properly synced at midnight FVT, along with the long awaited Daily Mystery Crates.. which reward you for playing daily.

We're testing the changes out on beta now.

-Updated Mythical Night Fish to show the population of where they allegedly exist.

• Post #2 Fixed issue with give glow worm popup on night fishing page.

• Post #3 Improved the display of the header dropdown bar when using a tablet and not in mobile v2 version.

• Post #4 Shooting to have Monsoon Lagoon released this week..

Getting closer to releasing Mystery Crates too.. should happen before new level release. :)

Fixed typo with calling the Polymer Polisher the Great Garbage Gobbler.. (Mythical Night Fishers changed its name last minute because it doesn't really resemble the garbage gobbler of roperia)

• Post #5 If you guys want, I can start working on releasing the next Super Bonus Quests.. and release Monsoon Lagoon early June.. as I know many people are working on the new MNF's.. :)

June 2019

Link

• Post #1 Fixed Red Shark / DH Voucher exchange and instant traveling white page issue.

Continuing development of the new Mystery Tackle Crate feature.. finishing up final artwork for Monsoon Lagoon. We're going to have new quests with up to 7 fish requirements! :) Should be challenging! And we'll also have animated fishing.. as the artwork is highly detailed and I feel you'll be able to see it better if it's moving a little bit.

• Post #2 Finished up additional tweaks to new Mystery Tackle Crate code.. should have it released today.. along with tournament start times/payouts at midnight FVT...

• Post #3 Accidentally triggered reset of MTB's SKIPS, etc at 10pm FVT and not midnight.. it will happen correctly tomorrow night.

Should be re-paying out rubies for June 18th at midnight.. if it doesn't go at midnight then I'll manually push it tomorrow afternoon.

• Post #4 Just want to give a heads up on the new level, Monsoon Lagoon, and it's costs..

Two poles, you have to first level up the Dirigible, to move on to the Mission Recovery..

Dirigible Pole 4,000,000 gold Aerial Net 3,900,000 Grappling Hooks 3,800,000 Reinforced Gondola 3,600,000 Armored Envelope 3,400,000 Harpoon 3,200,000 Epic Anchor 3,000,000

Each pole/addon will go down and become free within 14 days of its release.. (they'll each go down in cost by 8k-12k an hour) People can make about 300k gold pretty easy fishing in many Farovian spots.. so these purchases add up to about 83 days of fishing.. or you can simply wait 2 weeks and pay nothing.

Mission Recovery Pole 6,000,000 gold Pressurized Suit 5,500,000 Advanced Radar 5,000,000 Docking Unit 4,500,000 Advanced Life Support 4,000,000 Encounter Suit 3,900,000 Docking Grapple Cannon 3,500,000

Used 350k/day average for these purchases. These items will also become free within 14 days of its release.. (going down about 10k-17k an hour)

The level should offer the highest gold payouts out of any Farovian level yet..

There will be two skills to purchase and new chum... and animated fishing.. and quests with up to 7 fish.

Stay tuned for release date.. hoping early next week.

• Post #5 Fixed issue with rewarding boat leveling special bonuses, despite having all maxed out boats.

Monsoon Lagoon shall be released tomorrow!

• Post #6 FYI: You'll need to have at least unlocked Glacier Bay, Icelantica to start Monsoon Lagoon.

• Post #7 Monsoon lagoon will be released Wednesday morning.. still a fair amount of testing left.. lots of new code with animated pole and fish.. 7 fish quests, etc.

• Post #8 Monsoon Lagoon arrives tomorrow at 10am PST/FVT.

Thanks for all the really thoughtful reviews thus far.. makes me happy making you guys happy. It's why I still do this after 11 years. https://www.facebook.com/pg/fishnow/reviews

https://facebook.com/fish-now

• Post #9 Also, since facebook told me to do this.. request to join the official private fish wrangler group:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/2064613383832541/

July 2019

Link

• Post #1 Sorry for the recent outtage.. just had a 12 hour flight that should have been 4 hours.. stuck on runways for 3+ hours.. with 2 kids and a dog.. haha.. only to now find out that FW crashed.. I'll try to get to bottom of issue in tmrw.

• Post #2 Going to run all nightly resets, skips tarpits, etc..

going to also run night fishing for everyone.. make sure you're located where you want to be for night fishing..

and this downtime occurred at the start of a new month and didn't pay out June 30th.. before paying out the month.. going to have to unset payouts and repayout..

• Post #3 You can now use 8 jugs of rum Night Fishing.. After 11 years of heavy usage, wranglers have built a strong tolerance, thereby allowing party goers to bring up to 8 jugs with no ill effects. :fw/resource/old-jug-of-rum

• Post #4 Quest catches and quest completion % will visibly change now (when on non-mobile version).

• Post #5 I've been meaning to give people some time off the fishing timer when fishing on fish-wrangler.com.. and the recent lag/freeze issues due to a facebook bug that's still gone unfixed is more reason for players to ensure they're able to play off Facebook. So each fishing trip on fw.com will add 14 min 30 seconds, as to 15 minutes.

I've also finally updated links for new players who want to start playing and don't have Facebook or an old existing account. They can just go to your fish-wrangler.com profile link (ex: https://fish-wrangler.com / profile / 22000847 - no spaces) and they can click through to create an account and you should get the 100 Red Shark referral credit once they verify their email.

• Post #1 Doubled speed of pole leveling for the Cold Fusion, Holy Hybrid and Reelistic.

Added in new Ad Friendly reward for playing on fish-wrangler.com.. you can get 1 minute off the fishing timer now. May revert back depending on how things look. You will still get 30 seconds off, if you're playing on fish-wrangler.com and aren't wanting to see ads.

Optimized ad layout.. ads do help support fish wrangler and it's servers and artwork costs.

• Post #1 Fixed issue with Monsoon Lagoon poles telling you to use them in Fishertonville.

Fixed Monsoon lagoon poles mobile device display on tournament page (for when they're added).

Shortened URL's on https://fish-wrangler.com to no longer include the extra /fishwrangler/ that always annoyed me.. was mainly because we started on FB and it's needed when on apps.facebook.com/fishwrangler. Please report any issues with this.. i just noticed hiding notifications was broken for a few minutes... and replying to posts / liking forum posts on the forums.. should be OK now. https://fish-wrangler.com/fish-now

• Post #1 Going to work on grouping night fishing header messages and adding a "like" button to messages on nf board and your profile comment board.. fixing other bugs as well.

Mermaid Cove is coming along nicely.. check our app page for a sneak peak at the Extendarod.. https://facebook.com/fishnow

• Post #2 Improved mobile display on the tournament page and contact page. If you ever seen anything overflowing off screen, please let us know.. there's a 25 FLC bug bounty for it.

Added ability to change your email, which requires you to re-verify the email.. we get loads of these emails.. figured it was time to improve this functionality.

The Kirra contest starts tomorrow! :fw/fishwrangler/fish/kirra

• Post #3 Added in ability to auto upload multiple images on the forums. Here's a sketch of an upcoming pole and chum!

(screenshot) (screenshot)

• Post #4 Added ability to upload multiple images via android browsers..

• Post #5 Added in option to upload multiple images in contact message, and also have the images published to forums (if selected). 25mb max. Hoping this helps resolve future issues even faster. :) :fw!

• Post #1 Increased the quest and pole leveling special bonus max multiplier.. and changed it so if you're in a location released over 3 months ago, you'll be eligible for more chances at the boosts in treasures.. (use to be 6 months).

Mainly did this because I felt the Monsoon Lagoon quests are pretty grindy at the end.. I'll be sure to speed those up in future releases.

• Post #2 I'm trying to square away the code for Mermaid Cove (which is a name that still may be changed, FYI). Wanting to give ya a heads up so I can get some feedback on it.

I felt Monsoon Lagoon was a decent speed, but the final quests were slow.

I felt Garbage Patch poles were slow to level, quests were good pace for pole however. I've heard that others more or less feel the same.

I based the following calculations off of getting about 300 pole exp/day, which is on the high end for racers using Love Chum..

Garbage Patch poles/addons each averaged about .75 to eventually only .23 new fish a day.. (which is why later levels felt extra grindy). Each new fish you caught, based on the pole/addon cost, costed about 247k-190k.. The poles each took about 58 days to complete.

Monsoon Lagoon poles/addons each averaged about .86 to .59 new fish a day.. (which is why pace felt better).. Each new fish costed about 1.25m to 750k gold.. higher because this is gold not silver.

I'm going to have the Mermaid Cove poles/addons become free after the # of days they take to level.. and the next addon will unlock in about that time +2 days.

There will be 60 new fish total across 3 levels, and about 10 quests. The fun mechanic I'm working on is having quests based on fish weight, instead of fish count.. and you'll be able to catch heavier fish by using their prefered "live chum" (which you'll lose one per day) or love chum.

I'm planning on having mermaid cove being faster, averaging .75-.67 new fish a day.. but having each fish cost about 600k-400k silver. (much more expensive than garbage patch)

• Post #3 Reconfigured things on the server... Hoping performance improves here.. keep us updated on the forums, thanks!

Finishing up artwork on Mermaid Cove..

• Post #4 Fixed issue where you couldn't hide profile board comment notifications.. there still is an issue with these notifications causing semi-white pages (you should at least see something in header if playing on fish-wrangler.com ) If this is happening to ya, please send in message ASAP.

• Post #3 Fixed the hidden pole image issue.. was a caching problem. Release seems to have gone really solid.. want to give a huge thanks to Shay Upham ( https://apps.facebook.com/fishwrangler/profile/1254003391 ) for coming up with all the ideas behind Mermaid Cove / Rainbow Rising.. :) I think it turned into a really wild and fun level.. little bit of everything.. and the biggest change has yet to be seen with quests requiring weights of fish.. and living chum / love chum boosting fish weights for the desired fish.. some strategy perhaps down the road with that.. :)

• Post #4 The Cubey Incinerator will now properly auto-equip for tournaments, when using "quick switch" option.

• Post #5 Started 3 quick back to back to back contests for over Chrirstmas.. one contest of each type.. they're catchable in Farovia and Roperia. Enjoy!
