I've had the "no loot" issue, plus the "first cast" benefit of many quests is gone. Tonight I got the baby crocolisk quest, which I've always gotten on the first cast in the Mage pool in IF, but didn't get one after many casts. When I went to Stormwind (where the quest actually says to go, LOL) I got one on first cast. Last night, I had to catch tons of Felblood snappers before getting the Monstrous one. Again, formerly a "first cast" item. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/nerfed-master-angler-trinket#post-4016 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 22:25:33 +0000 darkbean 4016@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>They should reduce the cooldown on it instead of the size of the fish. Sometimes its quicker for me to swim across than wait 10-15 sec for the trinket to be usable... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/nerfed-master-angler-trinket#post-4013 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 20:48:11 +0000 Haxim 4013@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Even if it was the fact that there were too many people swimming in Dalaran fountain, it's way less annoying than the Tauren DK's on kodos waterwalking in the middle of it :/ </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/308-daily-quest-quirks#post-4011 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 18:23:58 +0000 Balazar 4011@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I did the "Felblood Fillet" quest. Probably about 15-20 casts, I did not keep exact track. I started fishing for it, got a summons for a dungeon run, and failed to fish it up before I had to accept the summons. In that time, I did get an empty loot window. </p> <p>I returned after the run, and got a few more empty loot windows (as well as regular fish results). I eventually got a regular Felblood Snapper &#38; a Monstrous Felblood Snapper. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/nerfed-master-angler-trinket#post-4010 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 17:01:15 +0000 Vendula 4010@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I don't think there is any speed boost - by swimming a few laps in Silmyr Lake I measured a 25% speed boost which is what I think it was before. It still doesn't stack with the Azure Silk Belt either. </p> <p>I wonder why they bothered shrinking the size? Too many people swimming in the Dalaran fountain? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/change-to-barlos-fishing-daily#post-4009 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 14:57:39 +0000 el 4009@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>It's technically a bug fix, which changes the fishing dailies back to behave the way they did in patch 2.4. Of course the fix has <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/308-daily-quest-quirks">broken</a> at least one of them again, so we're getting close to the point where the fishing dailies spend more time bugged than time spent working as intended... which tends to confuse the issue... </p> <p>On a related note, I've no easy way to check whether the non-daily quest fish have also been changed back (such as the Artisan fishing quest) - I assume those will have been changed back to. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/nerfed-master-angler-trinket#post-4008 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 14:48:22 +0000 Kahless 4008@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Boo! You're right. It's longer a giant fish, just the same size as me which isn't very big.</p> <p>I'm not sure if they actually increased the swim speed. I think it's just that the animation seems faster because you're so much smaller.</p> <p>I can still swim on the surface with my top fin sticking out and I can activate it while still breathing on the surface.<br /> Originally you couldn't swim on the surface and you had to be far enough under water to be holding your breath before you could activate it. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/change-to-barlos-fishing-daily#post-4007 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 14:42:48 +0000 Shircon 4007@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>yeah.....same here.....about 5 or 6 casts..... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/change-to-barlos-fishing-daily#post-4006 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 14:36:50 +0000 Kahless 4006@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I'm not catching the Croc on the forst cast anymore.<br /> This morning took me 7 casts to catch it.</p> <p>Anyone else noticing the quest fish isn't coming on the first cast anymore? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/nerfed-master-angler-trinket#post-4002 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 14:03:26 +0000 Shircon 4002@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>OK,JUST NEED TO VENT IN THE FIRST LINE.....I AM REALLY PISSED OFF!!!!!!!!!</p> <p>They increased the swim speed for the Hook of the Master Angler trinket but they decreased the size of the fish you turn into AND YOU CAN NO LONGER CRUISE ON THE SURFACE AS A GIANT PIRANHA.......so angry.....busted my but for that trinket....lmao</p> <p>please throw your thoughts and comments in.... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/308-daily-quest-quirks#post-4000 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 10:30:55 +0000 Basill 4000@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Just did "the worlds largest mudfish"</p> <p>at first catch.. extreme lag, couldnt loot , couldnt anyting.<br /> 1 min later 1 fish.... fished then normally and after 10 catches it came....</p> <p>so seems abit buggy and looks like its back to catching is not in first cast anymore.. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/308-daily-quest-quirks#post-3998 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 00:44:57 +0000 Gummo 3998@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Confirmed. I tried Bait Bandits, and got an empty loot window. Dropping the quest caught fish as normal, re-taking the quest gave me empty loot. I tried about 10 more casts and got the quest fish. I did not think to try and fish after catching the quest fish but before turning in the quest. I disabled all add-ons and tried overriding auto-loot with no difference (I would get an actual empty loot bag though, instead of just catching nothing, which made what was happening a little more obvious).</p> <p>I also did Crocs in the City on another realm, which DID give me a low-level fish each time (but the first looted fish was very lagged), and the crocolisk as the 2nd "fish" after a few casts. I self-mage-teleported to shattrath after catching the croc with no incident, but servers have been going up and down, so getting kicked may have just been the server. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/308-daily-quest-quirks#post-3997 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 00:33:55 +0000 el 3997@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>From what I've read on the official forums, the daily fishing quests are still sometimes bugged - as they were on the Public Test Realm: <strong>When trying to fish for the daily quest fish, the loot window comes up empty</strong>. This does not happen for every daily quest. I believe that if you continue to catch nothing, eventually the quest fish will appear. Keep in mind that daily quest fish are no longer always caught on first catch - it might take many catches, as it did originally in patch 2.4.</p> <p>There's also a <a href="http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=14498290792">post</a> about Crocolisks in the City kicking a character out of the game when recalling to Dalaran, which I know nothing about.</p> <p>If anyone else has more information, please post below. </p>
