fishmongers, how do you feel the current state of angling is going? what improvements would you make or what things would you take away?

I enjoy it a lot. Not so much that I’m lvl200
For the most part, while the mechanic itself is pretty engaging, the reward is generally …meh. The treasure chests… meh I’ll mine for gems ty very much but no.
I was day dreaming seaside the other day and thought it would be great if some random shark showed up from nowhere…

yeah I’ve only made it to level 100 so far but I enjoy finding new hot spots and whipping out the old rod and reel. I would like to see maybe something like faction quests or town board quests that actually involve fishing, not just turning in fish. maybe more trophies. I think they did a good job with the UI though

I’d like to be able to fish up treasure maps that lead you on a hunt inland to find the treasure
But
Seeing as though that cant even change a bit of code to knock down the amount of motes you get from skinning an elemental, then i stand no chance of them coding a treasure map with a chest to find

Honestly I think it the most boring aspect of the game and only do it when I realy realy need to.
fishing is the only part of this game that isnt terrible

True. There are very few surprises or extreme moments. Its something to do while watching Netflix or Twitch and want to sell a few fillets.
I love how rewarding it is! It’s also the only gathering type activity that doesn’t reward any azoth whatsoever, that is my favourite part

Ahoy, capt.
I think I must have missed a nerf (I had to travel for a while so didn’t get to fish much).
Used to get a bit better stuff from chests I think. Not sure.
Okay, so…my take (note: RL fishing nut…from tautog to Blue Marlin…and everything in between…)
The mechanics are decent for a MMO. Having drag and actually having to play it a bit. Of course can’t replicate the real thing well, but for a video game they did an admirable job considering it’s a mini game.
I enjoy it.
The art work though. Magnificent. They actually made a bluefish look like….a bluefish. I was a bit stunned to be honest.
It’s a very nice touch.
Rewards are okay. Could use a little love.

Do trophies actually work?
The fishing itself is great, I enjoying going fishing. I would love to see all the fish in the game currently be useful for something. The luck system ignoring trophies and fishing level is frustrating too. I have been tracking the issues in this thread.
@Mindsunder Nope. Not the fishing trophies anyway.
@Fredbsd The only chest nerf I have noticed is the removal of gold, but that’s not new.

Fishing is more rewarding in RUST lol.
that’s a dope idea though
Game needs better recipes for cooking bait.
With all the materials you get from fishing, it is rather shocking you can’t cook higher tier bait, and baits that have a Food buff instead of a single use.
They could add in quests to craft lures and such that you could add to your pole like a gem socket, this could give you extra perks to fishing.
They also need fly fishing, you could have an interesting mini game with some type of back and forth mouse click game where you have to click on a certain spot each time as you flick the pole back and forth, the final click you could hold it and cast the line out. This could be endgame fishing that lets you catch Tier V fish only in any zone or something.
They also need more quests to get different poles, what true fisherman has only one great pole…
I would also like to see some nature of Legendary fishing quest that has you catching 1 of each Legendary fish for some crazy super fishing hermit or whatever and he rewards you with some kickass Trophy That gives you some nice perks for fishing.
Fishing gear that doesn’t make you look like a Hobo ( The Twitch skin is nice )
Faction missions that take advantage of fishing to help Fisherman grind some token while doing what they want.
Feed the front line: Bring 2 Large Salmon 2 Med Salmon 1 Clam
You could have variations of these type of turn in for each zone or whatever, but you get the idea.
Epic Grade fish … not sure why we don’t have any but we have every tier in the game except Epic.
Fishing is boring. Getting thousands of gold worth of gems and pearls is not 
these are all really good points. I especially like the idea of crafting a food that’s a fishing buff because I have cooking at 200. I would be into making and selling something like that
i stopped fishing once AGS nerft fishing bc they cant handle bots
Fishing is ok, almost as good as in Minecraft. My main annoyances are lack of direct coin, fishing pole repair blues (I just craft disposables) and the fishing spot discovery levelgate. Also getting booted “for being inactive” while fishing. (My fresh start char is about lv 28 and under 70 fishing now.)
