Batsu.3489 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Why do i have to fish for hours to get this item for a weapon part ? Whats the deal with the fish ? I do not want to fish. I am about to reach Master Caster yet i do not get a Sturgeon fish when i fish in fishing hole in New Kaineng City. Cant you guys replace with something different ? I didint even grind too much for Cursed Flintlock and Bo Staff. Like why fishing ? Whats the point of fishing ? How much fishing requires for exotic item ? Do you guys want me to do 5/5 fishing for Sturgeon so i can get my Posession Scepter and never come back to Cantha again because all i do is PVP and WvW ? 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Sometimes we have to do things we don't like. Best bet would be just do it for a little every day. Pop a fish jerky, fishing food, sit in your skiff for half an hour or so a day, and then go do something else. People who PvE only, don't like having to grind Gift of Battle, but here we are. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farohna.6247 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I disagree with getting rid of everything that someone dislikes. I may not like parts of the game, but if I want the end result, I do them...or don't. 5 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has literally no impact for gameplay, i grind at maguuma i enjoy it every mastery skill of maguma working a loooooooot. Same as Crystal Desert you get mount and upgrading them. This this is just a for relaxing and enjoying something not even relevant with pvp or wvw or pve.

And not everyone enjoys HoT or PoF necessarily...if you read the forums there are complaints about collections and bounties and events, etc. There will always be something you don't like. But will you do it, or just complain that they should just remove it because you don't like it? That's up to you. Good luck, happy fishing! I am but a cod swimming amongst mere minnows. 🐟 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am but a cod swimming amongst mere minnows. 🐟 If achievement collections requires something i will use im great with that. Im totally fine as i said this is just not part of pve-pvp-wvw. Catch a fish sure but wait a minute its exotic how long i have been fishing ? Oh yeah days, buying bait, buying lures still got nothing. Im not saying get rid off fishing entirely im just saying Posssession is irrelevant to fishing. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSD.4673 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Exotic fish suck balls to collect. I've caught as many legendary as I have exotic, and lots of threads have the exact same complaints. Keep at it or just craft an ascended scepter. You can try stacking fishing power but I never noticed any difference. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeliosMagi.9867 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 My advice is since the Sturgeon is an "any bait" fish, is to use a bait that none of the other Cantha fish specifically want. Scorpions for example. That way you have better odds of catching the Sturgeon, since you're removing all fish that want a specific bait from the pool. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanAlcedo.3281 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Hours for an exo fish that has no time or bait requirements? (Therefor can be cheesed) More like 20min max. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit different however if we'd be requiring someone to solve a jigzaw puzzle before they are allowed to watch a football match. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he's unable to play the game without that collection or what is this comparison supposed to be saying here? 🤔 6 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing a fish in an optional collection to a made up scenario where people are forced to solve puzzles to access content is one of the wildest comparisons I've seen in GW2. 5 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, since that went over your heard, i will use a simpler comparison. Presenting a jigsaw puzzle to someone that likes jigsaw puzzles creates fun. Presenting a jigsaw puzzle to someone that does not like jigsaw puzzles does not. Fishing is supposed to be an optional activity for those that like it. As this, it is fine. As something that is required for something completely unrelated to it, it is much less fine. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if someone dislikes jigsaw puzzles, they just put them aside and pick a lego set. Similarly, if someone doesn't like fishing here, they don't do it and instead play the rest of the game. I don't think your comparison somehow "went over anyone's head", it was just terribly irrelevant and intentionally overblown to show this situation as something that it's not.

It didn't go over my head, your comparison was just stupid. You made a stupid comparison considering the thread is about an optional collection requiring a stupid fish. Fishing IS an optional activity, so are the collections. I've done only 2 of the EoD collections, one reason is I just don't like fishing. Strangely, I'm having fun in the game, I'm not prevented from playing the game just because I don't have a certain collection finished. If you are not allowed to leave the side of a lake until you catch a certain fish then you can make those comparisons, but as long as it's "hey if you want this item you need to do this" comparing that to being forced to do puzzles before being allowed to play is just overexaggerated stupidity that reminds me of the temper tantrums my 7 year old niece is throwing. If you don't like the jigsaw puzzle don't do the jigsaw puzzle, but don't complain that you don't get the reward for it that people who like or simply are just fine with jigsaw puzzles get for doing it. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes what you would think would help, doesn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
