Hello, Our team came 2nd in the Atlantic Cod competition on 29th April and I did not receive the prize while my teammate did. We both actively fished the competition for the entire duration, both had about 15 cods caught, I contributed to the team by finding a strategy, spot lure etc. Can you please help? Thank you, Zbiffer Other Region Team: Blue Tag Gaming

Hi RF4 I have recently checked out my account and found a message from Russian Fishing 4 with the 2nd place prize rod (Arctic Special 70-030 (Medium Boat rod) and have asked my Wingman to check his account for his prize only to find there is no such message to award him with the same rod. I have checked over the forum posting for the weekend competition and found no conditions on the registration page stating that only qualifing members would be awarded with prizes. If this has been an error during the rewarding process please can you rectify this ASAP. If this has not been an error and has been awarded as intended i do not wish to recieve this prize as we entered this competition as a team and dont think this kind or rewarding system is fair nor a positive one.

There are 6 people who can confirm Zbiffer was actively fishing this and 100% deserves the reward, we were all on discord sharing tactics. He found and active spot and bait. You can very clearly see from his fishing log that he was even on the same spot... with the same lures. MANY MANY teams didn't even catch but were "Active" myself included, this was a though comp and 4 fish got 2nd place. If you decide not to payout, please reconsider the format of 4 hour competitions with midrange weight requirements as its VERY likely this will happen regularly. Please reward this respectively. KJ

We're running the team tournaments now for round about 2 years on the website, and this was the first time we've got complaints about the payout, but nothing has been changed on that system itself. The target fish does not need to be important for the win of the team but a legit catch from the condition. Feedback is fine, and we are thankful for it. I am willing to adjust things to make it easier to be included in the payout (larger weight areas, no weight areas, etc.). Just to make it clear, this is neither a bug nor a mistake in the calculation. If we're talking about the target fish, it was a cod between 15 - 25 kg. If there is only fish species listed without anything else, then the fish is counted as a standalone. When more parameters are included, like a specific rig, bait or weight area, these parameters are an important factor and even described in the top lines. Description of the comp from the website: Catch as a two men team, as many "Atlantic Cod" as possible within the weight area! The total weight of all caught fish will be evaluated. The conditions can come with filter options, such as: specific bait categories, rod filter or other options. To make it more clear, this line will be visible in future team competitions: A player of a team needs to catch at least one fish from the conditions to be counted for a payout. The fish does not need to be important for the win, but within the conditions. The conditions can be different: weight area, specific rigs, rods, fish species, baits or different lakes or a combination of it. Please don't try to create your own rules out of it, that only the cod itself was the target. It seems like this target fish and payout line was not clear enough for most people, and it looks like I even forgot it on the website description. The players which were in the top 3 and did not receive a prize, can write a comment below. I need the team name, place and player name. After, I will check if you were active fishing and inject the rod manually. In the future, these exceptions will not happen anymore.

Why is this even a topic? It's a team comp... You win together, you lose together. It's a grinding game but come on... YIKES!!

Patchnotes The price for fish species such as Roughhead grenadier, Northern wolffish, Esmark’s eelpout, Arctic Skate, Greenland halibut has been increased on the fish markets. The price for Atlantic halibut has been reduced at the fish markets. Increased the amount of experience points received for catching Atlantic halibut. Fixed. Fishing with marine rigs - some lures and attractants were not getting damaged. Fixed. In some cases, the weight of multiple marine lures was incorrectly calculated. This could result in no warning when rod tests were exceeded. Fixed. It was not possible to place various items in the player's house. Fixed. Fishing for carp float rigs mistakenly required the sandwich bait fishing skill. The game world on the Norwegian Sea was reset (fish might have changed their locations and preferable baits etc.).

I would've agreed with you once upon a time but having experienced some fishing games where there's a choice of imperial or metric, I'd rather have no choice, it just creates confusion if you're discussing the game with those from a variety of countries, and theres a lot of that with RF4 Yes, fish have always been in imperial weight to me IRL, but this is just a game where real world comparisons are pretty irrelevant as far as fish weights go, doesn't matter if it's pounds, kilos, stones or whatever, as long as we're all singing from the same hymn sheet. In anycase, I'm not sure it will ever happen in RF4, it's been asked for since the game was released, I suspect if it was going to happen it'd have happened long by now.

i also can confirm zbiffer was talking part at the time of the competition, as i setup an ingame competition that ran parallel with the forum comp, zbiffer was present in the ingame comp that i ran and caught cod during this time

agreed as captain of the blue tag team zbiffer actively fished the comp and deserves the rewards as no question

Edible crab It prefers to live in the coastal zone in shallow water and likes to hide under rocks. The carapace of the edible crab has a reddish-brown color and in its appearance resembles a closed pie. The front pair of its limbs are powerful claws, the tips of which are painted black. Its remaining limbs are covered with short stiff bristles and also have sharp black tips.

Red king crab It is most abundant in the North Pacific Ocean and also in the Sea of Okhotsk. In the twentieth century, Kamchatka crabs were released into the Barents Sea and by the beginning of the twenty-first century they had already spread widely in the waters off Norway. They prefer soft bottoms and depths of two meters or more. The color of the king crab shell is brown with purple spots on the sides and yellow-white underneath. It is not called a king crab for nothing. The legs of the largest specimens can be almost 2 meters long and weigh 13 kg.

the rule clearly says one of the target fish.. the target fish is COD - zbiffer caught plenty of cod. the rule doesn't say, you must catch the target fish within the weight range to receive an individual prize. there is far too much "RNG" involved in a weight range comp like this. I know myself in this comp, i caught a good couple of hundred kg worth of cod, being active from start to finish. unfortunately due to rng being a huge factor, i only got 1 fish in range from all of the ones i caught, my teammate, was also active from start to finish, didn't get a single cod in range, but still caught lots. These are team competitions. the active word being "team". as an example. if a football team wins a competition, in the final, 1 player gave away a penalty in the 25th minute of the game fore say, proceeded to get sent off for a later foul. but... the team actually wins the match, and the tournament. the said player that got sent off, would still receive their medal, having still played a part and contributing in the match and the competition. if a player doesn't contribute at all. that is when they should not receive a prize Regarding the "catch a fish within a weight range competitions". this whole format isn't good as a competition for the simple factor of "rng". yes, the game will always rely heavily on rng, we all understand and accept that. but a competition, should be geared as much towards a players skill, knowledge and dedication to the fish in the competition. there are many different formats that will minimise the overall rng had an effect on the teams that did well, and the teams that didn't. please try and see the constructive side of what I'm trying to say. maybe all parties could try and see the issues that have arose here, and try and build from this and make things better and fairer for all in future, and turn this into a positive for the future

So to be clear what are you saying here you will or will not pay out the prizes? There is one member from 2nd place team and one member from 3rd place team. We all caught the "target" fish just not the "specified weight range".. there by he actually met the conditions set out. We are not asking you to payout 30 rods we are asking you to acknowledge the efforts and participation despite unclear/unfair rules and reward ... 2 .. rods. All we are asking is you do the right thing pay out the prizes. You know we as a community despite many unbalanced bugs in the game, we feedback mostly in a positive manner to help quickly find and fix those bugs, my point being we always deal with negatives and help as much as we can. I think in scenarios like this it's important to show support to the players and honour the reward and as you say be clearer moving forward. Also as feedback you need to create a single post and information location where info is consistent currently there are 3 areas where info is posted and its NOT consistent across these 3 areas, please ensure the information is identical within these 3 areas.. 1, tournament announcements posts 2, forum registration area 3, calendar please ensure the information is identical within these 3 areas... or better still only have 1 Thanks for the reply Tpcatch

I had 9 or 10 Cod all above or below the range so did quite a few others. RNG just said no which I won't complain about. However. In all team sports 1 player can score the goals or whatever but the team wins and the team reap the rewards. No one turns to the rest of the team and says you "You ccontributed but it doesn't count" you don't get the medals or incentives because you didn't score. If that is going to happen don't make team tournaments because it turns the tournament into a singles tournament come reward time.

Like others have said when we add squads to these team competitions we do so knowing that the players in them will work and play as a team to the best of there ability win or lose dont really matter and ofcourse when it comes to competitions where there is a weight range there is a certain level of rng to hit a fish in that range. How a player in a winning squad cant recive a prize even tho the player have got plenty of the correct fish but been unlucky to hit the weight range is beyond me it is a rule that need to be changed asap as having that kind of rule will just be bad pr for team comps. Players that dont fish at all for the fish that is in the comp should not get a prize I think we all agree on that but that is not the case here as Zbiffer did fish and did catch cod to the best of his ability in this comp and should have a prize as his squad came on 2nd place.

Zbiffer when he in the competition he determined and fishes regularly.he comits himself to the very end. If the other player in your team don't get the prize then it's unfair that the other player got prize and the other didn't.

This has also happened to the team that finished 3rd place....
