Fishing NEEDS Help!

Blade_07

I'm use to the fishing system in FFXI(Final Fantasy 11). Now that is a VERY serious and complex set up! Squire Enix did an awesome job with it! All the many fish in the game can be used for something useful and you can make some serious in game money at high level with fishing. Anybody that has played or dose play knows what I'm talking about. I would love to see something like that in ESO or even made better! Make fishing actually fun and worth doing! I have so many ideas on what would make fishing awesome in ESO I'm not gunna bother listing them cuz I would be here all day. Main point is that fishing as is at the moment is seriously boring and completely worthless. Sorry thats just my honest opinion and I mean no offence!

I, for one, love that the Elder Scrolls series has always had a more gritty, realistic feel than most RPGs. In keeping with this, I think the developers have made fishing as boring as watching paint dry because it lends an air of realism to the game.

Scroll down to the Coming Future Updates, about 2/3 down the list. They know fishing is lackluster, and plan to do something about it.

But list your ideas here or in game with /feedback, maybe you have thought of something cool that they'll want to include. May not come out with whatever they have planned, but if they like it they can always add it later.

I would agree with you Blade.

The fishing on this game could use some work. Most of the fish you catch are worthless as far as I can tell. Though I am told some of the fishing achievements can net you skill points - but that is just hear-say.

Maybe when they get around to implementing housing they can let you make trophies out of what you catch.

Fish used to be ingredients for Provisioning during beta, then was removed, can't remember why. Maybe they'll add it up as they said they gonna spruce fishing up

I wish they would actually get rid of fishing completely. It's useless, but more importantly, the stupid crawlers/worms/fat worms in all their annoying, bag-hogging iterations are even more useless. And they take up precious bag space that could be used for something actually worthwhile, sneaking in there with alchemy flowers and useful mob drops.

Totaly agree! Its VERY annoying!

They also need to fix the mud-crabs at the same time

Fishing does need improvement. Rare fish you catch don't even end up in your bag. I sort of like fishing it turns 0 worth bait into fish that you can vendor for some coin. That's pretty much all it's for and I do find it kind of relaxing.

FFXI did it perfectly. Not to mention fish were valuable and could be used to make needed food and not just vendor trash.

For some reason when I think about FFXI fishing I think of Rusty Caps.

Fishing wouldn't be so popular if everyone shared your opinion. Also they have stated that they intend to do more with fishing so that kinda blows your point up about it "playing as intended"

All Im hopping for relay is that they make it so you can use it in Provisioning they are food after all

I'll usually fish to use up my bait. I don't mind it that much, but I think I've only ever gotten on rare fish (well the achievement, not the actual fish lol). Other than that I fish when I'm talking on the phone or having a convo in TeamSpeak.

It does need help yes, and quite a bit. Here's hoping what they have in mind will be a great improvement!

Don't get me wrong I've spent many an hour fishing in-game already and it's quite enjoyable with a friend, or just relaxing on your own. One thing that can get annoying though is that you can't do/type anything whilst fishing or it cancels. That should be the first thing that's changed when they do.

Yeah most people do it just kill time while waiting, no incentive for achievements right now either.

You know, there are people that actually enjoy the fishing. It would suck having it removed. But I agree that it needs alot of improvement. 1.1 only fixes the bugs.

You think fishing is boring?? Let me send you pictures of my 150lb Tarpon I caught last summer or the groupers we caught last week end LOL.

But ESO fishing is a big yawn for real.

Hunting needs some help also. Killing those damn monkeys with my flaming curved swords is not as rewarding as it used to be.
