steinnovels.9675 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I plan on fishing while waiting for Teq to come up. Might make for some funny screenshots of fishing while he is coming out of the water. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imba.9451 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I can only see myself fishing while chatting with people over discord with nothing else to do but waiting for something better to to do. And if I am not waiting for someone do do something in GW2, I will probably never start GW2 in order to fish but play one of the games on my ever increasing backlog on steam. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have their Idea of fishing and "it will be all perfect and so much fun and all and yes I wil do it even if it's not profitable for my account, because the feature is just so good..." and in the end, if there's other things to actually do, peoplewill chose the more engaging thing to do. At least for players who chose a game with strong combat and mobility at its center. As for myself. Will be fishing for AP and progression. If it makes me some money on the way I won't be unhappy about it. Beyond that, can't say it looks all that amazing. While I wait for something, sure, I could go fishing in game...or i could get myself something to drink, go to the toilet or just log off until whatever I actually want to do starts. If repeatability isn't strongly incentivised, I doubt I will be fishing any more than I have to for reasons other than "hey, this fishing minigame is realy fun", aka AP/Skins in my case. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raknar.4735 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Since I don't do any daily routines, I'm just going to fish whenever I want, just like i'm doing some other content whenever I want. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golvellius.7856 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I will stop IRL things to catch fish. Like, "There's some hot pockets in there!" "But dad, we been eatin' hot pockets all week! Even the ones that was in there from last month that Vince left opened and left on the counter and put back in the fridge." "Tell your mom. Eat dirt. I don't care. I'm fishing." I'm. 👏🏽 going. 👏🏽 to. 👏🏽 catch. 👏🏽 every. 👏🏽 dang. 👏🏽 fish. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trixantea.1230 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) The only game where had I fun fishing was Zelda. Judging by the trailer, GW2 fishing looks underwhelming. Edited September 11, 2021 by trixantea.1230 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I think is truly hilarious is that the complete hypocrisy of all these people who said they just wanted a "relaxing social feature" has already been exposed as what it really is....the desire for an even easier gold farm. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marikus.1875 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Fishing looked amazinggggg. I was a little worried they would take the easy road and just make it a click here in this spot, little 5 sec animation, then poof fish in inventory. But the fact they made it into a little minigame AND added skills to it AND masteries ala FFXIV AND added another mechanic to compliment it (skiffs)...very very pleased. Looking forward to crafting lures and poles. Edited September 11, 2021 by Marikus.1875 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to want to pick a fight and I'm not interested in that. I find the fishing and skiffs gameplay engaging from what I have seen and it's miles ahead of anything I have experience in WoW. I don't need to justify anything else beyond that. If you find these two new features so uninteresting than perhaps you should seek entertainment elsewhere. I don't need to have my enjoyments questioned. Thanks. Edited September 11, 2021 by Marikus.1875 8 3 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linken.6345 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) the fishing mini game looke weak too me if you compare to the furnace events in bound by blood or when jellyfish swallows you in under water fractal.

SunTzu.4513 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Can't wait for the obvious ''You need to catch X fish and unlock mastery rank 2 or 3 to continue with the story'' part... not. Hopefully fishing will be just a gimmicky mini game with no real impact to the game itself. I like mini games like fishing, playing cards or pet battles in other games from time to time but i will stop playing if i will be forced to it on a regular basis because the benefits of it are too impactfull to miss/skip it.

Cyninja.2954 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Nothing. Now I am happy for everyone who looks forward to fishing, more power to them. I'll probably get the masteries done and maybe the associated achievements IF the rest of the game has content which is enjoyable to me. I've fished in other games to pass time between things I actually enjoy. Not a core feature which drives an expansion imo and the stream yesterday did little in persuading me to believe otherwise. How this plays out though we will see once the expansion launches. Interesting side question: Considering fishing is one of the heaviest boted content in many MMORPGs which have fishing (because it is such engaging content /s) and Arenanets track record of how well they deal with bots (abysmal), how much money are current bot websites about to make in increased revenue?

Fueki.4753 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) I'll most likely just fish when it's necessary for a collections I want or if it's the most reasonable way to complete a heart. Which means, I wouldn't really stop anything for it. Edited September 11, 2021 by Fueki.4753 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish there was a counter to see how many circles I've ran; it has to be in the tens of thousands at least. But then again, running in a circle is a long-standing MMO tradition. So many circles. And planting Kudzu's flowers back and forth along the top of the fence by the orphanage in the DR home instance while waiting for guildmates to finish node gathering. I wouldn't want development time spent on it, but I'd be fascinated to see what my idle time footfall count is. Fishing was never a feature I was motivated to ask for, but I do have enough idle in-game time that it'll be nice to have a dopamine drip to go with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
