We are currently investigating connection issues some players are having on the European console megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available.

Fishing 2.0. List of changes required by the fishing business. Developers, pay attention!

Hello, me and my friends are playing your game for about two years. We like many aspects in this game, but there are also those that cause questions, in particular, it is fishing. The development of this aspect of the game, in our opinion, takes a lot of hours of real time, in particular, obtaining achievements for fishing. I would like the fishing process not to be so boring and monotonous, as many mechanics can be implemented in fishing and make it so that it can bring pleasure from the game. We believe that fishing should be made more diverse, for example:

1) To catch one fish, sometimes it is necessary to wait about 20 seconds, it's long. If you reduce the maximum waiting time, then fishing will be more comfortable for all players.
2) Make bait or top dressing, which increases the chance of catching rare fish. The game already has bait, which is caught in ponds, you can make it with an increased chance of catching rare fish.
3) Craft rods with different levels. When creating a better fishing rod, the speed of catching fish and the chance of catching rare fish increases.
4) Often there are incorrectly placed points of fishing. For example, you can catch lager fish in seawater among Rotgar glaciers. I would like a more accurate location of the fishing points.
5) Sometimes you can catch Wet Gunny Sack, they have nothing of value! It is possible and necessary to make a prize more valuable: valuable resources, money, things.
6) You entered pieces of furniture obtained with the help of fishing, but why there is no trophy fish that could be hung on the wall, like the boss's head?
7) In all games of the series The Elder Scrolls there is an underwater world, it's time to enter it in TESO!

We hope you pay attention to our wishes!
P.S. I'm a representative of the Russian audience, so do not judge strictly for possible mistakes.

    I'd rather master angler not become easier to obtain but I'm all for making it less boring

    It would be nice if it could be made more entertaining - it's a running joke in my household about how many times I fell asleep at ESO while I was working on master angler!

    Gunny sacks at times contain kutas so don't assume that they are worthless.

    I would rather see changes to make fishing a bit of a challenge. Instead of instantly catching a fish you should have to play the rod to land the fish. Move your rod to the left if the fish runs right and that kind of thing. Put in some fish that are more rare than the blue and that are difficult to catch. If you do catch the rare fish one species might be worth 1000 gold while another might guarantee a perfect roe.

    Also have a rare chance instead of catching a fish you hook a monster. Most should be mini boss types with a few being as strong as other bosses in the zone.

    I have master fisherman on two characters and a new hard to get achievement might be fun to try. Maybe something like catch one fish in every fishing hole in a zone/faction/ and of course for fishing every hole in the game.
    and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."

    Let's just staple these suggestions to all the ones Gidorick made...

    *shredder noises*

    I'm sure ZOS will evaluate them eventually.

    I've often thought about this during in the countless hours/days I've spent fishing on the path towards Master Angler.

    I don't think it should be made quicker, as part of the uniqueness of the title is the fact that it takes a lot of dedication. I don't want to see everyone with the title.

    However, yes, I think it could be made more fun.

    Perhaps a rare chance of being attacked by a giant tentacle, that, if defeated, drops something useful =)

    Perhaps a fish whisperer skill that can be developed with experience that allows you a chance of respawning an absent fishing hole, with a greater chance of success as you level it up.
