I agree that fishing would be a nice, simple addition to add this to a chef's menu. This. And we have splendid underwater areas as well as spears and harpoon guns to go fishing with. It's on the verge of criminal that all these ambient fishes and more dangerous preys don't drop anything of value apart from T6 scales for the bigger ones. This would be a very easy way to give a bit more relevance to the underwater game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaltys.7649 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 As long as it's just a fish node. I hate fishing mini-games, those are one of my least favorite features in JRPG. Tedium of virtual fishing combined with quick reflex test, I haven't figured out why anyone likes those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smsarasin.3468 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Personally, I feel we already have fishing in the game. We just do it 'old school' style and actually jump in the water and hit the fish with our weapons until they're dead... Then we harvest the fish for treasure that it may have inadvertently eaten, and/or take their flesh for putting in recipes or selling to the local merchant for a few coppers... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some countries you need a license to be allowed to go fishing. Plus real life fishing is very time consuming. On some days you will catch nothing at all or worse get a sunburn.

Drake.1840 Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 Thanks for all the comments folks. Range of opinions that were very much appreciated. Kiza.5630 , I looked at that link. Yeh, i like it also! glad you showed me that. As an aside I have got a couple friends into GW2 in the last 2 weeks. Look forward to seeing some of you in game perhaps. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwaihir.1745 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Never seen a well implemented fishing system in a game ever. Lets not add it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake.1840 Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 I think you make a valid point that; it's pointless to implement any system that is poor. What would constitute a 'well implemented fishing system' Gwaihir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharterforGw.3149 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 If your friend is that interested in fishing, recommend him to play Lotro (lord of the rings online), some of the area's in that game are really nice to just chill and fish. the fishing itself can also give you fish to use in taxedermy, which can than be placed in your house (which is reletivaly cheap for the smallest house). I liked it's fishing more than WoW's fishing, which felt pointless most of the time not really a point to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoukiNeko.6047 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Fishing would be nice addition to the game. Some relaxing mini-game that can be done while chatting or waiting in PvP queue. Stardew valley and Fantasy Life have nice fishing systems. Simple and repetitive but still fun to do once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skobel.6920 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Wouldn't it be nice to collect fish as guild decoration and be able to build tank in GH and put them in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashiva.6149 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I'm not sure how i feel about fishing as an activity, but as a chef I would like to see more seafood for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beda Zzle.5281 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I would absolutely LOVE fishing (wow style ... don't hate me) in GW2. I love GW2 but sometimes when I log in I don't want to do dailies, I don't want to do achieves... I just want to log in and just find a nice quiet place to park my little Ranger or my big Norn Mesmer and kick her shoes off and just enjoy the calmness of catching the big one! I also want to be able to make a fire of my own and to pitch a tent... AWESOME!! Is that asking for too much? Sometimes my characters get tired of saving the world. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoruas.9732 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Fishing would be cool, a different thing to do <3 There could be rewards like: Improved fishing poles, treasures, food, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuka Cola.8520 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Great idea. Anet will be able to sell fishing rods for 1200 gems, lures for 300 gems/each. So great for the player... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauried.5608 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Fishing is an extremely easy activity to bot, and its hard for the Devs to detect, mainly because its an extremely simple activity which just relies on simple repetitive moves. If you make the activity complex so botting is difficult, then no one will do it . I played around with fishing in both WOW and Lotro and it just breeds armies of automated fishers. About the only way to make it work would be to make any items found via fishing account bound so they coudnt be sold on the TP, but then again no one would do it.

Donari.5237 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I don't see the appeal in having to hover your mouse cursor over a semi-random spot on the screen and wait for a semi-random moment to left click (which is how most of the fishing has been in the MMOs I've played, they have to do it that way so bots can't auto-fish). You can't type, you can't look away to other screens, if you have a boost on you're fretfully watching the timer to make sure you don't have the boost run out mid-cast. I think BDO has some more active fishing, but in my few days of trial in that game I couldn't figure out how it worked, ergo, the "too complex" mauried mentioned, and still a grind because BDO. So if it was a node, sure. Run up, get a fishing animation that lasts the same time as any other gather, move on. That likely wouldn't satisfy those yearning for fishing like in other MMOs, but it would fit the faster play of this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a node, which take about 1 hour of channeling and when it's done you get anywhere from a blue boot to green pants someone threw in the water. Realistic.

I have played plenty of mmo games over the years and have to say this one is shaping up to be the best I’ve seen.

For what it’s worth, I have friends and family that would fish if it was available in game. I have been trying to encourage a particular friend recently to play. He had three questions. > 3. Can I fish? > Add your voice below. Fishing in GW2 is a little different from other games, most games have this stupid boring process involving poles, and bait and a whole lot of just waiting. GW2 has very interactive and dynamic fishing process, where you gear up, and jump in the water and kill the fish yourself. Sometimes ... the fish kills you. You ain't gonna find that in any other fishing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Sos.1457 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 If fishing is done like it is in ArcheAge with some tweaks it would be a amazing addition to gw2. I would recommend making a mastery line for fishing but this line is different than most since it will be working towards a gold farm pretty much. It would require much more exp/grind than any other line. It will also be solely lvled through fishing. The high your mastery lvl the better fish you are able to catch aka more gold. There should also be a high risk high reward mechanic involved, such as a certain event popping up in the specific fishing areas and if not dealt with the current fish you have will be eaten and you can no longer fish in that area (there was word of open world pvp last expansion, if it is implemented in the next expansion with fishing, that can be the high risk factor). The high reward is the price of the fish. ArcheAge fishing was the best MMO experience I ever had hands down. Defending my 100g+ haul with the fishing squads against pirate ships were literally moments I will never forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
