Friday.7864 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I am completely against any kind of fishing in the game. It's boring, overused and present in way too many other titles already. There's even freaking fishing simulators out there, why in the world would I want to fish here too? GW2 is very much capable to do something original and interesting instead of adding a silly mini game you can play anywhere. Also, all you did was basically suggest fish themed gem store items - for a moment I thought you were trolling. About using fish in cooking, that was overhauled recently, so forget about another cooking overhaul because of... fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If fishing wasn't popular, it wouldn't be put in so many games, ...like.. Animal Crossing which is selling like crazy Seriously?--- Comparing Animal Crossing to GW2 . NO to fishing here thanks.

Or, do you mean that it would bring life to the game for you? I mean litterally "life", fishes are living beings and I like to think about decorating a fish tank etc .

Friday.7864 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Well, if you're the tiniest bit resourceful you can already put down any of the guild decorations underwater. Gilded Hollow has plenty of water for you to play around in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just pointing out its a potential profit, and ANet being a business first, is whats on their mind. Players get what they want, so do devs, win win. ANet aint gonna bother with anything that doesn't make them money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, for me system of catching fish can be as simple as in Lineage 2 or WoW. I don't really care for the minigame.

I have never fished in WoW and I have never played Lineage2. > > You've done a bang up job listing the monetization and rewards of the system but zero thought into making an entertaining and engaging piece of content that players find fun.

They definitely know how fishing in Lineage 2 and WoW work. I'm sorry I failed to entertain you stranger... actually I'm not....

Vash.2386 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Fishing is the wrong style of gameplay for GW. Fishing is slow (boring?), a chill activity. GW is a much faster paced game. If you want fishing go play Red Dead Redemption, Animal Crossing or the countless other games that have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course people would be against it. In short, this is a unique fantasy MMO. See the three key words? Fantasy. Unique. MMO. Fishing is none of that. N.O.N.E. If you want to chill around fishing solo or with friends you're looking at the wrong game. Play Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing im understanding now is why Guild Wars 2 is not on the top 5 most played mmos. Fishing is ''boring and not unique'' LOL. What is unique in gw2? The mounts? OK and that's about it. The combat system? hell yeah 5 skills locked forever. What could they put their efforts on then? Dont just hate, say something. You guys are just haters, Its sad to see half its population doesnt want new things implemented on game, which makes it die. You guys don't add you just subtract.

kharmin.7683 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 > @"linkym.2069" said: > Its sad to see half its population doesnt want new things implemented on game Half? Hardly that. It's not that people don't want new things implemented in the game. They want actual playable content that is more entertaining for their time/money/involvement than what has been suggested here (edit: and in the many other threads on this topic that already exist). This is a public forum. People are allowed to respectfully voice their opinions. Just because those opinions might differ from yours doesn't make them "haters".

Say what content would you want instead of fishing and maybe you could inspire devs to make ''actual'' content. Instead of saying nah this is boring and not unique and a waste of resources, thing which doesn't benefit the game at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 This isn't the thread for me to voice my preferences for content. That would be off-topic. I have stated my opinion about fishing.

I have stated my opinion about fishing. You don't agree (or seem to like it) and then resort to name-calling. Just put it in 1 line or 2. ''- I don't like fishing because of this , this , this and i would prefer this because of this, this and this''. You don't have to be so religious about the off-topic thing.

kharmin.7683 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I'm not going to get into a tit-for-tat argument with you just so that you can extol the virtues that you find in fishing over the content that I prefer that Anet should focus on. That's not the point of this thread. I've already made my point(s) in other fishing threads. I don't need to belabor them here, which is why I wish that people would use the forums search feature to read previous posts on this topic rather than make new ones.

You just hate to see the fishing topic because you don't like it. Well guess what, a lot of us do and i will defend it because i see it as a very good implementation to the game that would certainly make it more alive. Just look at all of the sea Tyria has.

Ayakaru.6583 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 A very cool idea that has never been suggested before. Someone else suggested we also get houses with the new expansion, we're on a roll with all these fresh new ideas, guys! :D Sorry.. I'm trying to be less sarcastic.. It's just that.. since that spiny salad didn't join us this chapter.. I've been quiping for three people's worth these days The underwater mount is something ice suggested before, including underwater combat revamp. What i want, however, is not a standard animal made into a mount. I'm sure anet is quite capable of creating a completely unique aquatic creature. Something that looks almost like an underwater fairy. Maybe like a kelpi, but then Canthified entirely My suggestion was essentially, underwater just needs its own skills and traits entirely. Instead of disabling and enabling some skills, every class just needs 10-15 skills and 2-3 elites for underwater use, and a seperate 2 or 3 trait lines for underwater combat.
