Guild Wars 2

I feel so stupid I payed 60$ for a MMORPG with no Fishing….

+facepalm

We all fell for that trap…

there is no fishing… at launch.

please note the lack of fishing-relatied cooking mats.

coincidence? i think not!

Ya but they had YEARs to work on GW2 and no fishing at launch…

I believe what you were looking for was this:

I think it’s free and all.

You can fish in GW2.
But you do it like a true adventure and use your hands.

I thought it is a good idea, not for farming gold or what but as a hobby.

When you fish, it is not just about your catch, it is also taking a break, going for an adventure and enjoying the scenery. Gw2 has some very nice scenery, like Gendarran lakes etc. I’m sure the team will want people to enjoy their work on that too.

A good bonus feature to have imo. Implementing it correctly can be a challenge though. An easier way could be just fishing straight for consumables.. with different gear, catches & items from different places.

And my axe.

Here you go, I’ll help you phrase your suggestion:

“Dear ANet.

For a new gathering profession could we have fishing? Like we have the Gathering Tool slots, we could also have a slot for a Fishing Rod and Bait (bait being a consumable). Using the Fishing Rod at a fishing node then changes your skills to Apply Bait, Cast Off + Reel In (only usable at an appropriate time) to make it into a sort of mini-game.

You could also then add some new fish based recipes for cooking as well."

On a completely separate note: I’m pretty sure you didn’t pay $60 JUST for a fishing profession, am I right?

You CAN’T have payed 60 clams for fishing….at least i hope not . Besides since fishing is simply killing a fish and munching on it wouldn’t a Spear,Trident or Speargun work just fine for doing the job ? I say add fish recipes and let us kill fish for the meat the same way we can kill moas for poultry

You can pay less than 60$ for Fishing – Breath of Fire IV.

I agree I think fishing should be added, I think I would go as far as it increases longevity of the game. I mean i see fisherman in this game using fishing rods. The fishing rod skins and stuff is there just the mechanics. so why not?

Go to Norn starter area -> Go to bear shrine -> Catch fish. → Profit.

As a bonus you can eat it and feed it to bears.

I personally don’t have an opinion. It doesn’t bother me that it’s not there and it wouldn’t bother me if it was.

I was just helping the OP be constructive instead of making this a QQ thread.

And to let us take a break and enjoy the scenery more, let’s take it even further, let’s gather some wood and make a campfire (cook the fish here) out of it, then all we need is some entertainment such as music, food and drinks.

I’d love to be able to play music in this game.

There have been only two MMORPGs where I’ve been blessed with the joys of being able to play music myself. These two were the best MMORPGs that I’ve played. (Not only because of it, obviously.)

I found an organ in Ebonhawke Stronghold. Lovely. Just needs improvements, more easily accessible keys, ability to hold down more than one key and no cooldowns. A game called Graal Online handles it pretty well. In it, to play music, you held down arrow keys combined with WASD keys. Even someone like me could play stuff on it, and I’m no musician. Just needed the “notes”, which looked like this <sd^w(a)vds>as.

I think you bought a game accidentally when you meant to buy a fishing rod.. lol.
