Fishing Community - your assistance is required

[Outstanding 10]

Look, you either 'get' fishing, or you don't. If you don't move along now...

For those of us that love fishing, it's very challenging here at the moment. The biggest issue we have is the lack of a bobber sound as per here

For me, a bigger issue is that trunks are not fishable from floating wreckage as per here

There's four other issues I've seen associated with fishing here

Finally we have the STV contest here

Now some of these bugs aren't bugs. For some unknown reason which I find extremely hard to understand, sagefish and greater sagefish are fishable and the recipe is available but you're not allowed intentionally to cook it. At least, this is what I've heard. I'm not so sure STV contest was working on Nost PvE, but the sagefish were.

Bottom line, fishing issues will come down lowest on the 'to do' list unless we as a community vote them up.

So if you like to get fishing back to normal, please consider your time and promote these bugs to be resolved.

Cheers

As a fisherman who plays without game sounds, I never hear it. Doesn't bother me 1 bit and didn't notice. I got a trunk the other day... Low drops gonna be low.

The bobber sound one is understandably an issue, despite the memes of "hurr fishbots", no good fishbot would rely on sound.

Wrong place, wrong time, wrong patch. But keep trying.

Hi there. So I've no issue with constructive criticism and being wrong. I'm wrong quite a lot. But what would be helpful is if you could explain your point of view? Mine is pretty simple, I played for 6 months on Nost PvE and all the 1.9 patch pools and wreckage worked as intended, as well as the corresponding recipes. So why is it different on this version? Are we not playing on the same core/emulator/interpretation? If the devs decided to omit the 1.9 implementation on fishing then why leave the pools there as this would have been the obvious solution. In addition, Stonescale Eel swarms are now in abundance allowing people to stock up for you know what....

Yeah I get that, problem is as @Wetpine says, a lot of us install fishing buddy, tick enhanced sound, then read a good book etc pausing only to click the mouse every ~30 seconds. Something I've been doing - perfectly legally - for over 10 years now. On the trunk you might have fished up something like Locked Chest or similar, these can still be 'caught' in open water. What I'm specifically referring to are Mithril Bound Trunks which are found in floating wreckae from STV to Azshara, the basis for which paid for my mount on Nost PvE first time around. You are pretty much guaranteed to get 1 at least from each pool, it's not a low drop at all. I've 500 successful casts in Bay of Storms with another 9 hours worth of Aquas to keep me occupied.

Actually they worked on stuff like Rumseys rum, wizarding oil for +mp/5 on weps, trunks, sagefish and the like and stuff like this shouldnt work/drop anymore before patch 1.9. Comes 1.9, stuff comes back. Its just like Viskag doing too much dmg at first and Alcors being BoE whereas it should be BoP until AQ.
