Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but..

Does anyone else have a hard time telling when a fish is on the line while relying on visual cues in stealth? I know there are audio cues as well, but personally I can't stand to fish without having something else to listen to.

Maybe add some form of action lines around the fishing rod? I don't know.

We understand that there have been comments mentioning that it’s difficult to see fishing rods when they are cast depending on the time of day, lighting, and other factors, and that there have been requests to make the tip of the rod shine when you hit a fish. While we do not have any plans at the moment to implement something like this, we will be keeping an eye on the requests and look into it.

On a side note, in patch 2.1 we will be making it so fishing rod movement varies depending on the size of the fish you hit.

Please do this. Fishing is fun and all but if I need a stack of something Im watching netflix or listening to music while im doing it so the audio cue isnt good enough.

Request incoming!
I request you make it more noticable visually when there´s a fish on the hook!

I know one of the reasons why you guys don't implement a line on chat log states that a fish is biting - prevent easy botting
but plz, plz, at least make the rod more obvious to be seen while in stealth mode.

This really needs to be fixed. It is really hard to see the rod in certain lighting or background even a message in chat would help. I know there is sound to let you know but having sound on is not always possible.

Any word on us ever getting a tacklebox? I think the lack of a tacklebox/absolute gouging of our inventory by baits/lures is a far bigger issue than the rod.

Couldn't agree more and I would be all for something like this. The fish we catch takes up enough space in our inventory as it is.

Hi Camate,

Would it be possible if you could ask the developers if they could also look into the vibrate function for fishing as my bf who also likes to play on my account is deaf and partially blind as well as I'm deaf aswell as we struggle to see the rod when in stealth mode and I know there is a chime for fishing but like I said we're both deaf and it's really hard, he asked me about the vibrate function and I told him there is one but not for fishing so he's really disappointed about that

Thanks

Previously we mentioned that we had no plans to implement a glow on fishing rods when a fish has been hooked; however, based on everyone's requests up until now we have decided to improve the visibility when hooking a fish and will be adding this glow.

That's terrible... one thing this game doesn't need: more glowing balls to identify stuff.
I just find this ridiculous.

Instead, you could simply add a pop-up flying text: Something has bitten!
Or a visual effect where the screen focuses on the fishing rod and the music changes, or something.
But a glowing ball? No thank you.

Please also add an option to turn the glowing ball off.

We already just need to press 1 button to reel in the catch, if there a glowing ball to top it off, better make it the fish is automatically reeled.
Seriously... spoon feeding is just terrible.
