CarnageTheory.3247 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) So far, I'm a really big fan of fishing. I enjoy it quite a bit. But I think something has to be done about instance closing when it comes to the fishing/skiff buff getting reset when you switch instances. It'll kick me from one, I'll fish and get my stacks up, and then it'll want me to move instances again, all the while losing the buff. It just really feels bad, knowing how many stacks I have, and knowing I'll be losing them in a certain amount of time, no matter what I do, and I don't feel like mechanics that are completely out of the player's control is fun game design.

Master Ketsu.4569 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Simple fix is the fishing stacks should only be removed when you either A) Log off or B) Switch to a different PvE map. Swapping to the same PvE map shouldn't remove the stacks. As an added bonus, it would be nice if sPvP didn't count and we could keep the stacks through that as well, as long as we don't try to teleport to a different PvE map. TL;DR stacks should only reset on changing to a new fishing area. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Storm.3046 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 This complaint and suggestion has been brought up many many times... and still makes complete sense. It is frustrating and doesn't seem like a particularly difficult tweak, when other conditions persist across map switching (and logoff, for that matter). I have to believe that at some point this change will happen. Anyway, my current workaround is to try and identify maps that are less affected by player population... like maps hosting dailies, Lion's Arch, etc. Not always possible when you're working on the collections, but can lessen the pain if you're simply enjoying the activity or farming ambergris. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepwalker.1398 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Sorry for bringing this up but was something done about this? It is so annoying and frustrating to get your fishing stacks up only for map closing to happen. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyralia.2945 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 This is basic polish that any company should be able to add. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalec N.9841 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Yeah its a little bit sad that this thread is this old and this hasn't been done yet. This absolutely makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
