Salley <Angler>, 4 months ago:A few weeks back i read about that fishing wasnt much interactive and that it will change to make it more "fun".
Personally i really like how it is now, its very relaxing and i can watch TV or read on internet while im doing it. If it becomes anything like the fishing (mini)games i played on console i doubt i'll keep on fishing and just idle in a city instead.
Any news regarding this? Hate to see fishing being turned into a time your click then hammer a key thing :/
So far, I haven't seen any change at all to the mechanics of fishing in beta. I rather enjoy it now as well, although aiming the casts could use some work (17 casts to hit a pool? /facepalm). Aside from the comment in that interview, I haven't noticed any planned changes in the beta forums either, but they're good at springing things on us these days :-)
Salley <Angler>, 4 months ago:ye aiming can be abit bad sometimes but having to point out where to cast everytime you recast fishing wouldnt be to great. Maybe just trow the line directly infront of your char, but that means adjusting your char's position alot...hmm casting at the moment maybe isnt to bad :) With fishing buddy its just a few double clicks and your cast doesnt have to land exactly inside the pool either.
Anyways i hope they leave it like this, i cant see how they could change it without having to pay alot of attention to it, wich would make it pretty boring in return, i think.
I think the only change I'd make regarding aiming is tightening the potential casting arc. I don't mind overshooting the pool distance-wise, or undershooting it, but casting at a 40-degree angle from my facing direction is a bit extreme :-P Other than that, I'm fine with fishing as it is now as well and hope the mechanics stay largely unchanged...or if they do improve it, that it's interactivity won't be overly intense.
Salley <Angler>, 4 months ago:Ye maybe that would work, but even now i barely have this problem with missing pools, usually only 2/3 recasts to land it right, wich is about right. Maybe they can just make it "lock" onto a pool and constantly make it land in there. Wouldnt mind either way :)
As long as they keep away from digital fishing that i've seen in other games, wich was just a matter of timing, precision and mashing a button...not something i want from fishing tbh :)
Proffesional fishers have pretty good placement of their lines. If I'm at 375 + fishing I should be able to hit a pool on the first attempt, not the 3rd or 4th. At some point shouldn't a high fishing skill mean that you should have some ability to choose the placement of your line?
