They can be used to move, in the stream, at a moment, the user is using it in yolo mode moving around and racing with another skiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorem.8104 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Honestly, sounds interesting, still need more information like how you fish in gw2, best fishing experience to me is in Okami haha, very active fishing. Boats look cool too, especially as it looks like we have multiplayer water mounts to traverse the area, wonder how you unlock it! Can be used on a lot of maps, and if you can mount/jump on the boat/cast a Mes portal? would be quite interesting. Cause then people without skimmers can use your boat to get to certain locations? ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have not seen a proper suggestion/feedback in your answers. I can see that you do not like the revealed stuff but say why, mention what you would have prefered or want. We have not tested specs, have not seen a bit of the story, haven't really tried fishing . We have not really seen any of this in game yet and you rush on conclusions? I would advise patience. it was FIRST look. They opened topics in forums and I bet the yalso look at reddit etc. Their communication has improved and I believe they delayed the expansion not because they have a lot of things to complete, but to polish and add requested stuff that people might want( tha twere missing from the livestream). To conclude, I really want to believe that the delay is in favor to players. Let's give it a chance. ( I personally am hyped about everything besides leggies.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I would think it’s likely skiffs could become a launch for more boat type content to be developed over time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really sucks that this is a feature designed solely to farm more money off of whales instead of it being used to make more engaging content. Mounts and gliders added something to the game, fundamentally changed how the game was played, fishing boat sounds like soon to be abandoned content like guild hall were. Fishing will probably be more niche than raids after novelty is done. I would say this is a DRM level of design blunder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizardguard.2860 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I´m not sure why everyone seems to be excited about this tbh. I might be as wrong as i was with mounts, sure. But fishing in and off itself... I dunno, its standing somewhere, waiting for a mouse click to happen. And when you have one fish, you probably gonna need like 1000 of them. Fun? I just cannot even imagine this to be fun. Maybe if you can spawn some bosses this way, it could become fun but with the ability to just fight them underwater.... Feels unfitting. Happy to be proven wrong, but defenitly not excited for this particular feature. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bast.7253 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I just don't get the appeal of fishing or why this would be a highlight feature for an expansion. I mean, they didn't even say what you actually do with the fish. Sure, it's a neat little novelty activity for collectors and to pass the time by, but once you catch all the fish, what's the point? And from what I could tell it just looked like it acts the same exact way as it does in WoW. Stand there, wait for the bobber, then voila, you have a fish. Like, why though? I'm hoping these boats are upgradable and secretly little home instance things or grant you access to your bank and customizable because if not, why? To buy more skins for a "mount" I'll never really use. They could have repurposed scribing and the guild hall decoration system into a personal housing instance somewhere and I would have been more excited. But no, we get boats that move awkwardly on water and allow us to fish. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metaljaw.6437 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 The only way I could see this being in any way fun is if you can ride your skimmer down and steal the bait from fishing lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishing is not a big thing for me personally. The skiffs intrigue me for some reason though and one of the first things I thought of was boat vs boat combat, with multiple players in each boat. Now that would be fun to see in both WvW and PvP. It would also be cool if boats could be used in open world events in some way too. Don't think I've bought any of the pirate wardrobe stuff yet but I might have to once we are all floating around on boats. Yarr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
