[Contests] Fishing Extravaganza in Cataclysm?

  1. llie <Salty>, 2 months ago:

    Does anyone have an idea if the fishing extravaganza will be continued in Cataclysm with all the world changes going on and such?

    Nothing known yet, but I do not think that they will remove something so big.
    Later people shall still enjoy all the aspects and "specials" of the game, but it is time to somehow continue the story of Azeroth.

    So I think it will stay, but you can never be sure with Blizzard.
    We won't really know until the beta or someone asks the question and gets a blue answer.

    It's an intriguing problem:

    Flying will speed up the contest, but not by that much - winners normally spend the minority of their time riding. However, changes to the fishing mechanic may remove pools entirely, leading anglers to hunt specific fish in the water. That may favor careful observation - flying may become a disadvantage.

    Blizzard have never repeated the contest anywhere else, even though places like Northrend's southern coast would be well-suited. Yet it's one of the few parts of "classic" Azeroth that is routinely played by level 80s. Since something about the contest captivates certain players week after week, I'd expect to see the idea copied.

    Clearly the contest is quite unlike fishing more generally - the contest is far more aggressive and competitive. Which makes me wonder: Could a second method of fishing be developed based around the contest: An alternative version of fishing, optional, that might appeal to those people that "don't like fishing"?
