Guild Wars 2

I may be alone in this, but I have always enjoyed fishing in games. I would love to have this MMO past time available in Guild Wars 2. It would add a whole new set of cook items and achievements. It is always a good way to just waste time while enjoying the environment.

I’ve spent a LOT of time fishing in games like WoW and Terraria. Usually offering a lot of side things to do for just a simple mechanic! I would love to see this feature implemented in my favorite game (Guild Wars 2) to give me even more reason to play. Whether its to complete more achievements or goals via fishing or something to do when i can’t think of anything to do.

Why do I suddenly get flash backs of fishing in Runescape and the Sandwich Lady ani-bot systems lol

In the early days of the game, my thief found this fishing pole.

Wasn’t (isn’t?) there a fishing pole you could (can) use over near the Brand? I seem to remember using one way back when….

Fishing would be adding entirely new game mechanics, not tweaking existing mechanics and that’s just not how Anet rolls.

Yeah !! cuz it will like affect PvP Balance and we can’t have that now can we ???

They are more likely to add in a new mechanic then they are to tweaking an existing one. In every LS update they added in a new mechanic every time.

For fishing to be in GW2 you need to have a craft that use fish and there needs to be a reason to fish so for gold or crafting or even items you can only get from fishing say skins you fish up etc.. Cooking can use some fish but it cant be the only thing i think you would need a fishing as both a craft and tool use its a question what do you do with fish beyond cooking. In ff11 fishing was mostly used to make ninja tools (ninja as a melee mages class that had to use items to cast spells it was not a cheep class to play) so fishing was always profitability.

god forbid if you happen to not know what one of the breads were called

I would like this too.I like fishing in games.

i’ve mostly resigned myself to grinding in this game.. i enjoyed crafting my ascended gear a few months back and sometimes will make some food for myself.. something like fishing would be interesting.. and i suggested a music shop awhile back.. things like this would be a step up from any gw2 mini game and if approached correctly would contribute to the longevity of the series.. unfortunately, i don’t think arena net has the resources to focus on any back-burner projects.. features like that would be quite interesting 2 years into the game, but it seems to me they would do better putting a priority on refortifying the progress they’ve made this year

Clearly you’ve never gone fishing IRL. Otherwise you would know that the reason it’s called fishing is because only very rarely do you do any catching.

fishing would be cool

im not into fishing in games enthusiast but i dont mind if they put it in for others so im saying ok to the ops post of putting fishing into the game. maybe use it as a way to get slab of meat or something to use when they up cooking to 500 another ingrediant fish meat

I fish regularly in game. Why not do that?

Honestly I’d like it if they introduced fishing, but then as a twist they made it so the idea is to find the rare/exotic fishies, and then sell them for gold coins at a Fish Merchant.
