Oh Word.6350 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Title says it all, could be a harvesting instance or just something you do by any body of water- i understand its somewhat pointless considering you can swim underwater but i've been playing animal crossing a lot lately.

hugo.4705 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Yup same about acnl. Why not? Peoples are asking for that since a long time, that's why we have sandswept isles fishing event and fishing quest in thunderhead peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaralyna.3104 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 They indeed implemented it in Sandswept and Thunderhead (2 different styles of fishing). Maybe not the way we all expected it but they still implemented it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Id be all in for fishing. Not the event style we have had though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertthebard.8150 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Oh great, another reason I'll never get anything done. That's a yes, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamykaze.5904 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Would be a nice way to waste some time in game. I'd say do it, but if, do it right. So, fishing in every body of water of course. Well, maybe not puddles, but atleast in knee deep water. Able to fish stuff from junk like leather boots to poopadoodles, to more rare treasure chests. And fish! Give them attributes like weight, size, rarities stuff like this. Implement fishing seasons and/or contests, add them to the daily achievement rotation. New currencies yes, because it's Guild Wars 2, so we need that, right?! Could be found in those treasure chests, or given as a reward for those mentioned seasons. Then, there's a new vendor for that, selling stuff like baits, which give timed buffs for more luck while fishing. There could be new achievements, new titles, new fishing rod skins. Heck, they could even sell a 'Fancy Bling Bling Baloong Fishing Rod x3k mk2©™' in the gemstore, new fishing themed hats and stuff like that. And now that we can sit on chairs, even a beach chair with parasol. So much possibilities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medvedovka.8523 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Yes please. Also a great way to introduce new beach themed clothes/outfits/underwear. And all gems in Tyria are yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I vote for a new harvesting tool for fishing: Dynamite. Walk up, toss it in, collect fish, walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos.2503 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Why not ? Would also fill in the strange fish void for Chefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kettering.6823 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 GIMME DAT FISHING I love fishing in every game. I can waste hours fishing. I would love it in GW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zityz.6089 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 They might do it, if they can figure how to make it beneficial with the Gem store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricGoat.8253 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I should be able to have a private boat with all my pals so we can fish for awesome loot. Perhaps a cannon on the front for the kraken and you have mobs running all over the hull of the boat. Perhaps a giant wave or two to inflict knockdown.

starhunter.6015 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Fishing yes, treated like harvesting a little bit. I have a few ideas for gold sinks. Craft-able lures : = Jewelry , maybe we can finally get the craft level raised to 500. figure maybe 6 tiers for the lures and certain fish will require certain tier lure. as lures are limited use much like normal harvesting tools. But maybe 10-20 charges a lure? Fish can be used for the following crafts: Cooking, Jewelry, Artificer, with materials such as fish oils, scales, bones, barbs, shells, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gop.8713 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I wouldn't be upset if they spent dev time on this, but I'm not upset that they haven't either . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trise.2865 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I legitimately do not care either way. If they do decide to go for it, then... as long as it isn't just another resource node/grind sure, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauried.5608 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Its a real lot of work to do . Every waterway in the game has to be seeded with varying types of fish with rewards suitable for the map level the water is in . Multiple types of fishing rods and lures have to be introduced. And fishing is the easiest activiity in any MMO to bot , because of its very simple actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeyspit.3965 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 It would also give them an opportunity to introduce a whole host of new cooking recipes, not to mention themed fishing outfits, lures and fishing polls for sale on the Gem Store. It would be a pretty massive undertaking, but I'd love to have it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuickFox.3826 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I rather see the limited development resources go to other targets than this one. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGrimm.5624 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 So for the people asking for fishing, trying to understand what people are looking for. Tried fishing in a few games and most didn't work. To the OP haven't played Animal Crossing so I can't associate. Have done WoW's fishing, ESO's fishing, I think the only fishing that I remember enjoying was Fables, but that was so long ago it could be a rose-tinted memory. I am not saying I would want resources pulled from other projects per say but out of curiosity what elements would you be looking for? To me if there weren't budget/time constraints aka pie in the sky: * Recipes: Vendor ones, discoverable ones, loot drop ones * Harvestable materials I can use in crafting, chance for other random loot (hooked a heavy loot bag) * A rarity system in fish, trash to loot fish and in between * Vendorable (low) * Some mechanic that makes a difference when you reel and set the hook, aka chance to fail and something that can't be macro'ed to prevent AFK fishing * Differing baits and rarities, better/worse chance of success * Achievements So for those asking, what would you picture?
