[Fishing] Orgrimmar fishing?

  1. Kessira <Angler>, 7 months ago:

    I had an interesting issue while trying to fish for Old Crafty, and I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. As an alliance player, I went to Orgrimmar, in particular the Vally of Spirits. Hiding behind the house there, I cast my line several times, and never caught anything. (Skill 260ish) The friend that went with me was just learning to fish, and she caught nothing but gray trash. No actual fish came up for either of us, but we were both getting skillups. The loot window would pop, but it'd be empty for me, or gray trash for her.

    So I bugged another buddy with 450 skill, and he had the same issue I did. Loot window pops, nothing in it.

    At this point, I'm scratching my head. What's going on? Now here's the really strange part.

    I had a friend that plays a horde alt, so I asked him to see if he could catch fish in the same area. He gets there, and starts fishing, has no issue. Starts wandering around looking for me, and when he gets to where I'm standing....I'm not there. I can see myself on my screen, but I can't see him and he can't see me.

    Any ideas?

    From your description, I'd guess that you weren't in the 'phased' version of Org (the one where you port there from...was it Stormwind? It's been a while...). They removed the ability to catch anything while you're in that. So just to make sure, were you all in the normal 'walk in the front door and avoid all the guards' version?

    In the phased version, there are no hostile guards, and you won't see any Horde players, so there's no real risk involved, and I think that's why Blizz removed fishing from there. But if this is happening in the 'real world' mode, I'd have to think there's some kind of bug going on...

    Yep, normal version. Not phased or anything. Played a lovely game of "Escape the Horde Guards" to get there.

    I did turn in a ticket on it, we'll see what the result of that is. I'll let you know when I know.

    Hi,
    I have been fishing there for 2 weeks, finally opened a ticket. Spoke to a GM today, apparently it's bugged and ONLY horde can catch Old Crafty.

    So what are we Alliance players supposed to do? Just suffer? Why even bother having an achievement if we can't get it? Grrrr......

    I just got a note in my game mailbox that said they'd responded to my email account. I've checked several times, no email. Not real happy about that. I'll continue to post as I get more info.
