Fishing overhaul? Yes please!

You should really explain. We could get an overhaul and you can hate it. All Zenimax can see is people want an overhaul and with no explanations, they will do what ever and it can turn out worse.

Variable input values while fishing to make it feel more active and skill based, daily quests from a fishing guild which reward for catching specific fish, a gunny sack loot table buff, a skill line for fishing that levels with caught fish and gives fishing based passives, item sets that give fishing based bonuses, and more lengendary tier collectibles and motif pages that come only from fishing in specific zones

Good ideas there. Never thought about that. I would like to see that.

Maybe there could be fishing competitions between guilds
where the last guild to spot the legendary fish gets a boon to their catching rate or something.
Like how the elder scrolls in Cyrodiil provide boons

Discovery fishing and legendary fish spotting

You guys sound like you always have a fishing rod under your desks in case a river happens to come by your office.

Speargun. (At home, locked.) And?

Actually I was brought up on a Greek island and now work in Hong Kong but live in a village 50 metres from the sea. It's in my blood, and I eat all I kill, or my family does. And yes, I was vegetarian for over a decade. We fisherpeeps are complicated too.

Me too. Not too sure about some of the guild ideas though. As separate things maybe, but I don't like the idea of having to joining a guild to experience the whole thing.

Heheh literally LOL’d at this, but I get it...I know RL people that just think about fishing 24/7 so I have no doubt there probably is a market for it

I agree, sounds like a good step forward. Just make it single-player with the option for more, it's great to fish with friends but sometimes you want to be alone with your thoughts, taking a break from slaughtering the land-based fauna and flora.

I was always disappointed in the fishing in this game. I wish it had been like a previous MMO I played, FFXI.

Fishing had its own skill line that you leveled up. Fishing rods had levels just like gear or weapons. Higher levels allowed you access to better fishing rods and lures/baits, and also bigger and better fish, including exclusive and legendary. Even had some legendary fishing rods that dropped from bosses or were acquired from quests.

Also had gear that would increase your fishing skill or increase your fishing stats.

All rods and lures were craftable via various crafting skills, and you had to have a certain level in each skill to craft it.

Also you didn't have to be in a certain spot to fish. If you saw water, you could fish in it. And you had to actually engage in catching the fish by pulling the rod left or right to fight the fish down to tire it out.

I am sure they will release the Fishing skill line right after the Fake Tank line (which includes a passive that shows the group that you wear Ebon and Shield even if you have a bow instead) is live. I am sure you understand there are priorities.
