Fishing

I may have missed the post, but have the devs said anything about the new fishing food being bugged. To use it you MUST have TWO people and NO more, or it will not work.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom Is there a way to make sure this is passed on (or a confirmation that this is working as intended)?

Thanks!!

What new fishing food?

Looks like they fixed it...Maybe?

Yeah they 'fixed' it. No more double drops. Now it is more likely to help you catch blue fish.

This makes no sense to me. This should have been around since the early days. The double drops (what they just took away) should have debuted about now since they greatly increased the loot table for Summerset fishing. A lot of this stuff is bind on pick up so I don't see why they took that away.

I just found out about the double drop chance yesterday and really enjoyed fishing (for the first time ever), because it was suddenly more rewarding.

Now it is dull again. Thanks ZOS! Is there by chance the possibility of another future recipe, which does what you just
'fixed' intentionally?

Can someone screenshot the recipie now since they fixed it?

What was it supposed to do differently than what it’s doing now?

Can anyone explain before and after maintenance what exactly it did and what it does now?

6 master anglers on Xbox. Been pretty intrigued by this new recipe

Thanks

Before, if you fished with one other person (TOTAL) in the hole, you would get two fish/rewards instead of one. Now you're more likely to get a blue fish.

I'm ok with this change. LOL. I understand people liking the double drops, but I was fishing yesterday in Summerset and noticed how pairs of people would avoid you if you were fishing or move to another spot if you tried to join them. In some areas there would be multiple fishing spots up when I got there by myself and then a pair of players would show up and fish up all the other spots and leave before I was down soloing the first spot, so I would have to go hunt down another area. Even got a couple baffling, unfriendly /says, so I ended up turning off all chat filters by the end of the day. I didn't realize why until last night when I saw a post about this food in the crafting forum.

I have a master angler and am working on a second. I like fishing in ESO and was rather dismayed by this behavior. As long as I have been playing this game, fishing has been a communal, cooperative activity where people happily share fishing spots and not try to fishing them up before another player can join. Whether it was intended or a bug, the double drops for 2 people per fishing spots was very contrary to the spirit of fishing that many of us experienced fishing folk have grown to expect. While I wish we could have a bonus like double drops some other way, I have no desire to see it stay in the game at expense of the one activity in the game where generally people aren't competitive d***s to you over the available resources.

From the Patch Notes: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/415850/pc-mac-patch-notes-v4-0-7

"Fixed an issue that caused the Artaeum Pickled Fish Bowl to double the number of fish you receive under certain circumstances. The intended effect is that this food increases your chances to acquire rare fish, similar to the bonus that occurs when another player is fishing from the same fishing hole."

Watch the food price Sink like a hole on the white house lawn.

Thanks for the info

So if I fish with a friend, we both use food, is it the same as having 4 people fishing? That’s great if so

I feel like double drops from fishing should be just like every other node when you have the "plentiful harvest" proc. It makes no sense not to do that.
