Haven't had a chance to test anywhere else yet, but I noticed something odd in WG today doing the daily...
I had to stand almost IN the water for the cast to go through, if I stood even a little ways out, I got the 'didn't land in fishable water' error. I noticed a lot of people with this issue, and even standing on the little floating ice chunks didn't seem to help.
Definitely NOT something that was there last time I was in the zone.
Same for me in Howling Fjord. Have to stand in the water to get a cast off. ???
This was happening to me in Borean Tundra.
el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 8 months ago:Intriguing. Most confusing is that the bug is based on where you stand, not where the bobber might land.
Added: There are a few posts in Blizzard's customer service forum, so they're aware of the problem. The solution given is to stand in the water, which isn't always possible.
Al <Salty>, 8 months ago:Same deal here. I went to get the ghost fish daily and none of my usual fishing spots would work. I had to step into the water to get any cast to land in "fishable water."
had it too, but they'll fix it soon i hope
If you can't stand in the water a water walking potion will work. I had to use one this morning for the daily.
I am fairly sure as of today this has been fixed. I went to do Dangerously Delicious just now and was able to stand on dry land while casting.
i was trying to do the fishing daily to find the severed arm
out in the frozen sea and had the same problem...
lucky for me there was a helpful person out there
who whispered to me to try moving around using a water walking potion
and i was able to complete the quest.
(this was on tuesday, have not had an issue since)
Was fishing last night in the alterac mountains and have had considerable difficulty with 2 spots in particular.... "water too shallow" and "fishable water". Havent tried a water walking potion, but have tried every conceavable location to cast from :/
