Jack Angelfoot.2697 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 There is nothing engaging or exciting about node gathering. If that is all fishing is, there are going to be a lot of disappointed players out there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One might think that after 9 years' worth of Anet's track record with GW2, people might realize that they ought to be careful what they wish for. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HnRkLnXqZ.1870 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Those fishing circles in the water. I hope we cannot only fish in areas with such circles. Was looking forward to some relaxing void-fishing. The cooking-station on the skiff looked nice. Personal portable crafting stations, useable in water. If it is not just an NPC vendor from a very beneficial point of view. Or it was a misunderstanding. Big question also remains, what special food we will be able to craft with those fish? What current ascended food lacks is the entire special-ability section: might on critical hit, swiftness on kill, downed-health booster, ... etc. - Could be a possible outcome. So far the video did create some curiosity about the feature. - Another thought: It is going to be a long road until the release of EoD. So far they postponed it once officially. What happened behind the curtains? What other ETAs existed in the past? We do not know ^^. In addition, we also do not know if they have to postpone it yet again. No one of us can predict the future. The pandemic showed everyone, once again, that SOON can be a very flexible term. So it is a wise choice to save the ammo and only use small amounts, bit by bit. Looking forward to the next video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anet is only acceding to the popular demand*. *Popular demand being forums threads, of course. (sigh) Well still no housing and it have more threads than boats according to forum search. But frankly, happy if they just up scribing to 500. And add new guild mission/bounty/trek/puzzle. Overdue, no new ones during pof. And who is not part of a guild today? Would profit to ton of players. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally thought the same thing when I watched the video. "Its a skimmer that touches the water" I remember recently seeing posts where people were asking to have a multi passenger mount. This reminds me of one of those corrupt a wish moments where the people were wanting a mount for land but anet gave them one on water... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo.4705 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) I think one big question to ask ourselves is what would we put instead of skiff or fishing? Well, can be listed: 1-Claw/Grapling hook movement a la zelda breath of the wild to climb cliff side. -> this is kind of useless , you have skyscale, or bunny which is more accessible. 2-Housing -> like fishing, this favorize afking, passing time somewhere, not contributing to maps by doing events or farming mats but both are chill activities, one for the achievement of finding all fish/ pass time leizure the other to express your home designer spirit, I like both, but more of the housing style. 3-A new race -> This would have been a real expansion feature like revenant was for hot. A set of 4 new starter maps, not the same personal story as other until level 40 when you are sent scouting tyria. The big con is that it requires ton of work and anet don't have this amount of time nor ressources. 4-Another instanced content form -> A shot in the feet. There are already enough, and dungeon are rotting. Raid didn't get a new recent wing. 5-Dual classes -> Sounds cool but will create a black hole sized balance issue, skills balance is alreadt strugling with current skills ans specs... 6-Henchmens/Allies companions -> To me this would have been the best expansion feature. Why? Those could be used everywhere, you struggle with a champion? BOOM, they help you deal with it. They could be also called to help you in Dungeon story path, personnal story/living world/expansion steps and to fill slots in fractal T1. Doing it this way, still force players to use LFG to find other players for T2 and + fractals, raids, dungeons exploration paths so it will not downgrade or remove interactivity. Henchmens to me is a serious idea that can be thought about and implemented in game. You go in core maps and you go talk to an npc "I need you in my team!" Just like how you recruit npcs in jahai north east quest. Edited August 24, 2021 by hugo.4705 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a serious upgrade/revamp to underwater combat - sadly neglected since launch? More skills, masteries, mounts, etc to revitalise what used to be a pretty cool experience. New underwater legendaries (even an aquabreather). It even makes sense from a lore perspective - the only dragon left is bubbles, and we gotta go past him to get to Cantha. We could finally meet the largos, find out what happened to the krait and quaggans. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I'm not s ure what you guys were expecting lol, but at least it sounds a bit more expansive than just "toss your fishing line at any point of water and wait!", with mastery stuff and cooking integrated as well. It will just be another daily thing you can do if you want to and many people, including myself, are just there to enjoy that type of ride to do. It will bring life back to all maps, because they all have some water in them pretty much. It's going to be a fun thing for a while, it's not supposed to be the main attraction of the entire expac. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronoPinoyX.7923 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Honestly I'll take it for what it is. It's not like they're only adding Fishing and Skiffs in the expansion. We're getting a lot more content outside of those, unlike Skyrim which re-released for like the hundredth time and the only thing remotely different to it is literally fishing kek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anet, design something useful like advanced movements (like wall jumping and grappling/climbing) We have "advanced movement" with mounts (and before that with HoT masteries). Also weren't you repeating how casual you are and you want to just chill when gathering without anything aggroing on you? Then I don't undersatnd by what logic you have a problem with addition of fishing? That said, the video didn't really show anything new about fishing and I still do hope it's not just a regular gathering node.

PeachyPleasure.8049 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 This video shows nothing, yet everyone already on the salt train... This is clearly nothing more than letting us know that this feature will be present and that's all. Speaking for myself, I'm already more "hyped" for this, than for another raid/strike instance, which I will never enter and completely not interested in, and this also applies for guild mission features (and yes, I'm sure there are a lot of other players who are not in a guild nowadays...). I will wait for more details to come out, with more actual gameplay footages and decide then what to think about it's mechanics or whether it is better, worst or the same comparing to other games. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naneel.2348 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Fishing sounds good, but I hoped for a more active approach, more like fishing functions in Warframe (Spearfishing). Skiffs look nice, but the animtions need polishing. Currently it looks not like a boat swimming through water. Maybe also reduce the speed to polish animations, would also feels more like chilling then hasting over water (therefore we have skimmer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raid players are a small portion of this player base, so little anet couldnt justify the funds to make more raids, because so few players did them. That is absolutely anets fault. Making a mode not intended for the best of the best and being surprised it ends up not seeing development is the epitome of the surprised pikachu meme. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos.2503 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I'm just disappointed that the skiffs seem to be used as anything else than sea transportation Dont get me wrong, I Wanted mobile ships, I've even posted a thread when Sandswept Islands got first release about wanting to sail such a small boat. I just dont think it's specialization worthy with just that... So I'm really hoping there is more to it. It has a Lot of potential for combat, just that alone would be interesting, but it isn't teased, and I'm getting antsy not knowing whether or not we'll get more than a mutiplayer skimmer that doesn't go underwater.

PookieDaWombat.6209 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I think my favorite this about all this is if they showed a new interface and UI in the vid for fishing there would instead be a post from others complaining about unnecessary visual clutter and shouts of "but my normal skill bar waaaaah" or any number of other things. Literally can we just wait until we see it in action (as in during a stream reveal with someone at the controls) and maybe test it out before we get hyper critical from a teaser?

Tatwi.3562 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I appreciate the addition of fishing and the skiff. It's always nice to have more non-combat ways to enjoy the beautiful setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew already that fishing and skiffs were coming, so when this teaser came out, a lot of folks had a reasonable expectation that they'd be learning something about how the two features function. Instead, we got a fairly direct implication that fishing is going to be a gathering node. If that's not what it is, the teaser failed to clarify. So yes, I agree, people should sit tight to wait and see how these things are going to work, but I'm also not surprised by the confused and annoyed responses this teaser is getting because it generated more questions and doubts than it answered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MokahTGS.7850 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Why do people think this will be anything more than a collection and another mount to sell skins for? EoD so far has some new story, some new specializations, new areas to explore, and two useless mounts...anyone looking for anything groundbreaking is going to be very disappointed. Would I love to be proved wrong? Sure...do I think that's likely? Nope. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
