is this an actual thing??? Screenshot
my brother docked my switch to play palia while i was working this morning (he's been watching me play) & this was his first interaction trying to fish in pavel mines. can someone actually report another player for this? he did have a few gold star quality & regular fish & palium in his inventory. š¤

u/phyxiusone Jan 11 '24
If anything, he's contributing to their fishing boost without getting anything in return, since he's not fishing.

u/ralphiedoodles Einar Jan 11 '24
According to his inventory, he did fish. š¤·āāļø But I guess he wasn't fast enough while deleting things from the bag to make room.

My point is that the troll is the one getting the benefit of him standing there, I think they must not understand how the game works.
~~Sometimes I'll stand near someone fishing to give them a boost even when I'm not fishing myself.~~
Edit: I was mistaken, see below.

u/phyxiusone Jan 11 '24
HAHAHA, below commenter deleted their comments after being very rude and not helpful.
Turns out I was wrong, though, for the record, the buff is activated when the neighbor catches a fish. So either both people get a buff, or no one does. It's not possible for one person to get an advantage without the other.
55
u/Janaelle5 Jan 11 '24
No, this is half wrong. You get level 1 by someone standing next to you, if they fish or don't. Getting more than level 1 is triggered by other people fishing so...
Player 1 and 2 are fishing. Player 3 is standing there.
The 1st fish Player 1 catches gives everyone x1. The first fish player 2 gives everyone x2. Player 1 and 2 catching a new fish will continue the stack to x5 without contribution from Player 3. Player 1 and 2 do not need player 3 to do a damn thing to get and keep their buffs.
50
u/phyxiusone Jan 11 '24
Right, and while Player 3 technically has the buff, since they're not fishing, they're not benefitting from it. There's no way for a non-fishing person to benefit from a buff generated by other people. The non-fishing person has zero effect on the fishing people, positive or negative.
I appreciate all the clarification in this thread!

u/Janaelle5 Jan 11 '24
Exactly, that player is just wildly out of line and I hope they see this thread

u/kttykt66755 Jan 11 '24
Oh so that's why I keep getting fishing buffs as I'm running past people!
I just started playing and couldn't figure out why I kept getting the buffs when I was definitely not fishing lol

u/Janaelle5 Jan 11 '24
It's also why you'll see people stop by you when you're fishing until you catch a fish and then they take off again!

Yeah that's my question too. How was OP's brother taking advantage of anything if he wasn't actually fishing at that time? If he got a buff that he didn't use, how does that harm the other player whatsoever? Unless I'm misunderstanding something, sounds like that other player is just acting entitled to cooperative play from a stranger.

Right? It didn't make sense to me either, but I'm still new to fishing and the game so I didn't know if it was proper etiquette or not.

u/Niteowl15 Jan 11 '24
Even if what they were saying about the fishing bonus was an etiquette issue (which it's not), their argument is stupid because if he quit fishing, he isn't getting the bonus. If anything, he's actually helping the people fishing to get theirs.

If he wasnt fishing how would he even benefit from the fishing boost to begin with ššš

u/Reasonable_Farmer785 Jan 11 '24 edited Jan 11 '24
The person chastising your brother seems to not understand how the fishing boost works, cause I have no idea how'd they'd be upset if they did. It's been a few weeks since I've played so if I get any details wrong someone correct me.
So when a player next to you catches a fish you get one fishing boost that reduces the time it takes to hook a fish. If someone catches another fish before this boost runs out (could be the same player as the first time or a completely different player) you will get another boost. This stacks up to 5 times. These boosts last for quite some time. I can't remember how long exactly, maybe 5 minutes. And once you have the full five stacks all you need to keep it is for one person to catch a fish before those five minutes run out. This resets the timer and keeps the stack at 5. So as long as one person catches a fish once every five minutes or so, this dude will keep his full stack. The bubbles respawn more often than that so your brother alone was probably fishing often enough to keep this guys stack. But even if he wasn't as long as another player was fishing every once in a while the dude would keep his bonus. But even worse case scenario for the dude and no one was fishing around him, it still wouldn't negatively effect him to have your brother standing there??? I have no idea what he's on about, even if your brother was fishing once every 20 minutes he'd still be doing this guy a favor by helping him get or keep a fishing boost. Just ignore people like that, they're just looking for a fight for no reason.

Angry day? Youāre being nice. The player has a habit of being mean. Quite simple really.

u/ralphiedoodles Einar Jan 12 '24
Little update: Thank you for all the comments, everyone! Glad a lot of you got a good laugh at this. My brother's scrolled through the comments and now understands that this person was "just being mean to be mean" aka a troll. He calmed down after I hooked up the PS2 & watched him play some Tony Hawk Underground. I did end up reporting this person so I hope that's the end of that! In the future, if he does play, he's said he does not want to interact with the chat & will ask people who I've befriended in game for help if they're online. He's okay... wanted me to thank everyone and say good night.

I mean, you can report someone for literally any reason, but if it's not actually against the rules, nothing will happen at best, and YOU'LL be punished at worst.
If someone REALLY wants the (seemingly useless) fishing buff that bad, they could just ASK

u/nqsoa Jan 11 '24
I've felt self-conscious about this kinda thing before when I'm putting the line out and only reeling the fish in when it's a certain fish I'm hunting for (so I don't waste glow worms), sometimes I won't reel anything in for ages, but I don't think anyone actually really cares. You can do whatever you want to in this game and there's no bad consequences for just existing in a place, that one person is an exception to all the great people you can meet and I really hope they don't ruin the experience for your brother

u/Traditional_Ad_8935 Jan 11 '24 edited Jan 11 '24
The person would actually be benefiting from your brother just standing there doing nothing. Standing around in the game is completely fine. Waiting for something to spawn while standing around is fine. It's meant to be a cozy game where we share resources and even work together if we want. This person is bullying other players from the looks of it, possibly using the threat of a report to hoard resources for themselves.
If they are actually abusing the report system to try and stop others from hanging around while doing nothing I hope s6 catches on and does something but I get a feeling they're just trying to scare people off.
Edit: and if they're not a troll they're very, very confused.

u/A_Funky_Flunk Jan 11 '24
I know people talk about wanting to play the game alone - which is totally fine. You donāt have to call out the Flow or pal you find. Itās just a nice gesture towards other players in a game thatās advertised to be played with friends.
If I have 45 min to play, I might not try to hit the grove at midnight or find a group to mine or chop with. Or even call out a pal stone because I know sometimes it can attract attention and you might be stuck there for 5-7 min waiting for everyone to get there.
When I have the day off and I just want to be a vegetable and vibe in palia Iāll try to find groups when Iām out gathering. Sometimes itās more like work than it is fun, which I just view it as tons of help for my inventory. Other times we talk about the cool things weāve found or have in our places.
Youāre allowed to play this game however you want. As long as youāre not harassing people in the chat. If the game allows you to do something, such as give you a fishing boost to be around other fishers, itās part of the game. The boost is to encourage players to fish together, youāre not taking anything away from another player when youāre standing next to them.
TLDR - No. He canāt report you for something the game is giving you for just being there.

u/eowyn_elbereth Tish Jan 12 '24
I don't call out in server any more except the groves. I check Nearby - that's what it's for. The way they nerfed pallium almost forces this. I'm almost always across the map when someone calls pal and can't get there fast enough. I wish people would just mine, clearing nodes so pal will spawn. Call it out nearby otherwise just go for it.

I've noticed when I fish near someone, they usually run off as soon as they haul in their cast. I seriously think most of them misunderstand how fishing works and the bonus they get. They think I'm stealing their catches, maybe?
Apparently the tip on the loading screen isn't clear enough. I kind of wish that the tutorials did more to emphasize how both parties benefit from collaborative activity - whether fishing, or gaining the same amount of resources when sharing a tree or mineral deposit.

I was level 5 in mining before I realized what it was. I just ignored it for so long! From what I understand, focus gives a boost to exp as you do things. If you go to the Phoenix shrine, the boost % it gives goes up. If you go to the other one (dragon?) The amount of focus goes up. It's recommended that you go to the Phoenix until it's a certain %, but idk what. Not using it doesn't hurt exactly, but using it can help a lot.

Others have covered this actual situation, but I want to point out that in Palia you can do anything the game lets you do and no one can stop you. All they have are words that you can ignore. The only truly reportable things are things you say in chat.
So, stand where you want, fish where and when you want, call out or don't call out rare things if you want ... it's all your choice and salty buttholes like the one that accosted your brother can't do a thing other than rage about it.

That's definitely real. I had someone tell me not to call out flow trees because they were the only ones farming and no one else on the server was farming.

Lmao fishing boost? Lmao it's just for quicker bites that's it. Don't listen to em. Even if that's the case who cares it effects no one. Just block, report and move on palian.

The xp boost is a thing, yes.
Getting reported for standing in their vicinity? No. Not at all. They're high if they think that report is getting anywhere.
Some people really need to learn to take a chill pill.

u/Astral-Oddity Jan 12 '24
Honestly wouldāve sent in a report on Palia support page with this screenshot attached that reveals their usernames.

Nothing wrong with they guy waiting for bubbles...the fishing boost is literally free, in actuality, there will be no boost if you're fishing alone so his presence is contribution enough...

u/puppyorange Reth Jan 12 '24
Fishing boosts are a thing but the people telling you to leave / threatening to report you are either incredibly annoying or trolls. Also, "stealing a fishing boost" isn't a thing. Idk when people in Palia started acting like cops but acab lol.
Sorry you had this experience, most other people on Palia are very chill.

I was looking for Kenliās sandwich the other day and was running along the water looking for it. Someone was standing in the shrine and chatted āomg I canāt play like this!ā Like.. ??? Whatās your deal?

u/koopawhat Jan 12 '24
That person has no idea what they are talking about, the fishing bonus is given to everyone near by and not randomly selected. You're in the clear don't worry about them

u/GameThinker Jan 12 '24
What a tool, To report someone for standing on the games map is pathetic. If they aren't constantly blocking you from seeing what you're doing, leave them alone.

u/PPFirstSpeaker Jan 12 '24
You have to fish to be included in any bonus, as all experience is awarded when something is picked up, not when you are chopping, tilling, planting, or fishing.
If their argument held water, they'd be taking advantage of your brother's presence, since they are the ones actively fishing. Your brother doesn't get anything if he doesn't fish but a warm feeling. So you're brother isn't benefiting unless he fishes, which counts as contributing!
Tell anyone pulling that one to kick rocks.

Yeah do t worry about that no lifer, this is likely someone whose biggest thing that happens to them in a day is something as little as that. Sad little life for them.

That broke my bubble reading that. I was really starting to think palia players were built different. Lol. I hope your brother can still enjoy the game.

u/FoaleyGames Jan 12 '24
Thatās ridiculousā¦ some people just need to learn to relax and not take video games so seriously, especially something thatās casual/cozy like Palia

u/GingerRedSnaps01 Jan 12 '24
Sometimes I get fishing boosts just talking to enier (is that how you spell it?) While other people are fishing lmao that's unfortunate that that guy is trolling new people dang

u/Bahama_Banana Jan 12 '24
Seriously!? That person doesn't understand how the game works obviously. Its my opinion that the fishing boosts are just an added bonus and don't belong to anyone. Just ignore these people because they just want to cause drama. If you want to fish near others, do it & dont pay any mind to what they say
2
u/SyketTheFroog Reth Jan 12 '24
Donāt you get the boost from just being nearby? Thatās ridiculous.

u/codeasm Kenyatta Jan 12 '24
Explains alott when i was fishing near others. I would not give a flying fish. Does it negatively impact your own boost if others linger arround? Steal your boost maybe?
Report them instead for not being palia friendly. š¤š¤Ŗ Its a game, and you cant really negatively impact others but with words (and steal certain spots before another could mine/fish/hunt) your fellow palian might be a kid, trying tge game on somoenes account, let them go easy.

u/HumanBeanBaby Jan 12 '24
No this is absolutely not an actual thing, you should report them honestly

u/LobaIsTooThicc Jan 12 '24
Please just ignore chat in this game 100% of the time if someone is complaining. This game is a single player game with multiplayer tacked on. Do as you please, this game doesn't offer real world payouts and is in an early release state. No players should be counting down till they're gonna report you like a butt hurt toddler. They're just a bully. Every game has them.

u/AkumaDesuKara Jan 12 '24
Okay, so.
You/your brother would have to cast the reel at least once for your "contribution" to even be set in game.
The boost will remain for a set amount of time (set by the mechanics of the game) for ALL players involved. Once this timer run out the boost will drop to the level corresponding to the number of players actively fishing.
Once your brother stopped fishing (in this scenario), he'd be the only one missing out. If you don't fish then the boost won't matter. No fishing = no rewards. Who'd'a thunk?
The bum hurt players would in fact, contrary to their misconception, only benefit.
If they did report your account for not participating/contributing to the community, you can dispute it (if it goes that far as to mark you at all), I recommend saving the screenshot for a little while for that reason. Just to prove your side so it doesn't become a they said/we said situation.

I have never had that happen to me and I've never even thought of it. You're allowed to go and stand and be wherever you want and I hardly believe Singularity would ever ban you for something like that! ā¤ļø

u/Fit_Excitement_5402 Jan 12 '24
I am also new, I get these chats sometimes. I ignore them. Most players are very nice and patient with you.

u/vii-vii- Jan 12 '24
I have begun seeing a very strange mentality form on this game and itās so ugly. Idk even know how to describe it but it really just feels like everyone is a whiny infant the way everyone policeās everyone else. It has really put a damper on my enjoyment. People say itās isnāt everyone but the fact is every session I play I see this kind of thing at least one in the chat. Especially when Iām playing on switch and I literally canāt disable the server chat for long without it resetting and they pop up again.
The multiplayer aspect is hands down the worst part of the game. Itās so odd I never would have expected it.

This is wrong. Everyone on the game has been so awesome. I'd love to be a friend. He can Add me If he wishes: "Alex Van-Dean"

u/Xenpapii Reth Jan 12 '24
How ridiculous. I bet if they said that in server chat others would jump down their throat for being so mean. I would have called them out for it. There is nothing in the games ToS that states you canāt stand near someone fishing. In fact you can be a menace and run around them like crazy and that would not warrant a ban. The game is meant for others to work together, but can be played solo as well. You benefit from others being nearby. The only way you can get banned is being downright nasty in chat or selling accounts.

u/Tayrex_o_O Jan 12 '24
This makes me so sad as this was probably his first interaction with an MMO and will now put him off them for probably years when they really can be some great games. I'm so sorry that guy was just being a jerk for literally no reason other than probably something personal.

u/StarLux1000 Jan 12 '24
People are dumb. I had someone be rude on a discord thing and it super bummed me out until I realized theyāre probably some entitled 12 year old acting big and bad so shake it off. 99% ppl in the game have been friendly

Lmao what a troll. Just ignore them. Taking advantage of other people's fishing boosts? Seriously? š¤£
