Thornwolf.9721 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I mean... It seems like a waste to me. Like why? They can't even be bothered to make guilds and guild halls be cool and you're asking for more single player content? No thanks honestly. It would be a nice icing on-top of the cake but knowing them they would say "Its an expansion level feature" when its just another crafting profession. As someone who never fishes in games, due to being able to just go do it in real life I honestly would rather them take the resources and aim it toward other stuff. (Like making the E-specs good, making WvW overhauls, making Guild overhauls and more guild halls..) I feel the same way about this, as I do about player housing. (Guild halls ARE and CAN be player housing, if they would just put the effort in.)Again let me restate this I don't want them not to add it, I just don't want them to focus on it and say that it is a headlining feature of the expansion at the cost of other things which are more important. It would be sick to get it as a "and ontop of this, there is this..." Maybe along with ruin delving so you can actually hunt through ruins and find cool stuff too that can go in the guild hall? I just..... I Really Don't want them to sluff off like they did with PoF and use "Well mounts" when discussing how boring the maps were and how lacking the expansion was without the Living world to come pick it up.I want this to be the best expansion, I don't want it to be the typical guild wars 2 expansion which is just..... well... lack-luster? I guess? I don't know. the only reason Im looking forward to it is for E-specs at this point.... its the only thing I know is coming that will change my gameplay loop.

Welcome.Im looking forward to it is for E-specs at this point....I have new E-specs after each big rebalance. You not??Also updated traps on thief, chrono changes, and many other thing I get without any exp.You want one more traitline? for that? we have rails on meta. So make one, or ten trait lines is total time-resource wasting as for my vision. But fishing is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess what: Doing whatever they have been doing for 8 years will NOT attract new players. Selling expac3 to 75-85% of the remaining pop may seem fine but how realistic do you think expac4 is then?IMO. GW2 desperately needs random/rare/exciting loot: Hey, random/stupid/simple fishing would work!As for: "But fishing is horribly/mind-numbingly simple/stupid!" - Yeah, follow your own advice from nn threads: Just don't do it!Some claim: "But fishing requires resources..." Sure. So did "adventures" - To be blunt: Who sells this game to their friends because of "Wooo - Adventures!"... Right! - Fishing would be like ONE minigame/adventure that friends could actually relate to...If all else fails: Grab resources from encapsulated content, enjoyed by a very small percentage of veteranplayers that pay most of their "gems" with ingame gold. (And please: Stop the "all Gems are sold for IRL currency" story: Gold/cash conversion never ran out of gems or gold: Anet actually have the ability to print pixels :-))Please don't clump all veterans in as a single group. Believe it or not, "vets" have differing tastes. I for one am supportive of fishingSorry.You are absolutely right. I should have written "SOME veterans" or (probably even better) "A FEW veterans" instead of "THE veterans".Thank you for clarifying/pointing this out.

I have fishing in lineage, wow and etc. Why we should not have this in gw2 ?What would fishing do for this game? In WOW it has a purpose, in Lineage it has a purpose, what purpose aside from being a roleplay mechanic would it -add- to this game for the time investment?

AgentMoore.9453 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 To save some of you from repeating the same things you said in January, here is the thread everyone commented in last time we talked about fishing.In regards to this thread, why wait for an expansion? Add this feature whenever it's ready to ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luthan.5236 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 If ... then only as mini game. I can't see this as it's own crafting profession since it likely would only serve as addition to cooking. Some mini game(s) with limited rewards per day ... might make sense here maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flog.3485 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Honestly I would rather have housing and a stronger focus on guild features. Imagine if your could build your house from scratch in your guild hall ?If fishing ends up being cooking 2.0, then there is no point adding it. Fishing would only make it worthwhile if is part of the necessary mastery system grind to play the content: from my point of view, that doesn’t sound very exciting.

Antycypator.9874 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 If you want to play fishing game, just play a fishing game. This is simple MMORPG, not hardcore-grinding RPG game where you have to do everything by yourself. Why would you even gather any crafting materials? Just buy them. Farm some events, get gold, buy mats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that be scrumpdilyious? They would be like a legendary accessory in their effect...but instead of having goofy-looking orbs floating around you you would have a beautiful fairy flying around you instead!

Farm some events, get gold, buy mats.As much as i dont see a need for fishing in this game(outside of Roleplay purposes), using the argument "this it not a hardcore grinding RPG" is not a valid argument, and neither is "just buy the materials". Somebody gathered those materials you are buying in the first place, and this game is incredibly grindy, sure not as bad as some but its up there.The only argument one can reasonable propose to adding fishing is "What purpose would it serve?" In this game, you can obtain all the materials that would normally get from fishing from every mob in game(scales, meat, etc), and now that Cooking has a tier 500 and ascended crafting, there isnt much more they can add to cooking to make adding fishing worthwhile, without having to completely redo the entire cooking line, and i for one am okay with that.In every other MMO that has fishing it has a purpose, it doesnt have one here.Now they could make fishing a mini game and id be okay with that, it would be new, wouldnt change other game mechanics, and hell, trying to catch the largest fish for a leaderboard would be fun.

lare.5129 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 On my vision it not should be have direct tie with cooking .. For example you can fishing, and get fish.accbound fish:))and from that fish may be whit artificer or another new or old profession craft new type of resistance. Like agony but not agony !!And make this resistance also acc bound. ..And without that some raids or strike, or some map, or map area will be closed.

No. Make fishing a mini game, and leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a New Playble race Anet would have to create new levels 10-30 storyRedo personal - Icebrood saga story Voice acting and cutscenesredesign the whole current armors avalible and lets be honest they don't even fit charr properly without clippingnew starter zone and city these arnt too hard to make and are very easly doableI mean with all of this its very likely to say anet wont do it as much as you and I want it. Unless Anet makes it so the new race cant do any story prior to the Cantha xpac it just not a possibility esp with the quarantine on right now. Now on the other hand New Legendaires and New Elite specs are a very High Possibility for us to get. I don't see weapons not being locked to Elite specs happening as one of the main reasons for Elite specs is to give accesses to a weapon your class couldn't use before and skills but it would be nice to have some not bound to elite specs. Not quite true, they can do a similiar thing to what they did in GW1 with characters playing the story in expansions."You are viewing past events through someone elses eyes."The new race would need a story leading to them joining the pact, and thats it, at that point the story becomes "The Commanders" story and race doesnt matter at that anymore. The voice over portion of the problem is still present ill give you that.For the armo, alot of the races people are requesting as new use either Charr or Human skeletons and the armor would fit on them. Using charr for why not to do something is a bad idea, anet cant even make the t3 cultural armor fit properly on Charr.It is however highly unlikely, though it would be a massive selling point of the expansion. Id actaully pre order it if i could play as a tengu, but thats all opinion. Time will tell what will come and letting hype run away from you is a bad idea.

Emberheart.8426 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I really do not care if fishing gets added or not. There are many potential features that Anet could add in an expansion and fishing is not near the top of my list. However, anybody saying that fishing would be pointless, bad or doesn't belong in GW2 should think again. The exact same arguments were used against mount suggestions back in the day, and mounts turned out to be the best in the industry and something everyone enjoys. Stop thinking about WoW fishing, because the devs do not need to go with that implementation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
