I'd probably like it (if they were done well and not obtrusive) BUT there are a lot of other things that should be considered first.

I'd rather they spend the time on other stuff.

As long as it doesn't interfere with my ability to animation cancel with the filet action like I do now. I only fish in 1st person to speed up the process, so it'd be lost on me.

Please not another post about fishing changes. I’ve been told I’m vile and hateful for wanting it to stay the same.

This post is about adding fishing cosmetics, not about asking for fishing gameplay changes. I only mention gameplay changes in the original post as a reason why associated cosmetics may be introduced.

It'd be nice to get the super-fast clicky reel noise for the cast, at least.

I would love that! It'd be so much nicer than the wooden stick with string we have now.

Unless the devs are open to changing the timers on the fishing, about the best we can get is an Outfit and maybe a Different Pole Style. Any flashing colorful animation would get old after the first 4 or 5 casts.

They could come up with a Spear Cast or a Net Throw but the Timings would be the same as they are with the pole cast.

It is the Timings, or the delay, that is the real issue for me. I did all the Dominion Zones today in about 4 or 5 game hours. I was also doing Antiquity Digs in between fishing sessions. Much better than before. The Curated Trophy Fish really helped. However, I stacked all the other Buffs I could get on a Solo Play.

Losing the Curated Drops is not going to be fun If I don't finish the map by next week.

I don't fish, so I have no interest.

At earlier times, for such type of polls, I would say I don't care and will just not use it. But over times, I understood that when ZOS focused on something, then there is that only and hardly anything else. So for those not interested in that something - like me in this case of fishing - we get more or less nothing. So now, egoistically, I say "No".

I'm surprised that they haven't already been done to be honest.

There's a plethora of new animations for other gathering methods, ones that you see for like 1 second at a time (If at all because Psijic Portals don't even use the Rune Harvesting animations...)

While it would make more sense to have different rod and bobber styles for the activity where you're using the animation for long periods of time. Even more so when the activity also has the reward for having multiple people fishing from the same hole, whereby many stacked bobbers are hard to differentiate...

Just no. Fishing is exactly what the current action does. Anything different would not be fishing.

In my view ZOS should not be focusing on unnecessary cosmetics like custom actions. They have so many fish to fry that should take priority that dev time and money should not be going to things so trivial and simply not needed.

How about they focus on creating new content and fixing performance issues instead?

nice! Now that is a whole new level of a fishing sytle, yes, a real fishing method, called "noodling". I've never caught a tarpon before, but they are said to be one of the best fighting fish pound per pound of any fish.

I'm not a fishing enjoyer but this would be very cool for those who are!

I've wondered why we don't get a fancy fishing rod with the Master Angler achievement.

One of the things I would love is to be able to select from several different sounds and/or poles. One of the thingsI have found on the rare times I fish is that I often react to the sound more than the visual, which means someone else casts into the same fishing hole I am at, I react...

And having more pole variety means that instead of looking at three or four of the same bobber/poles, I could hopefully more easily find my own pole and focus on it (I tend to be a bit distracted when fishing :P)
