Something you may or may not have known...

I feel it's strangely sad that the people playing a game could be so entirely unaware of how ridiculously successful it is.

I actually think fishing works fine. There are ways to get the fish you want easier (certain baits just like in real life)

As someone who is 25 big fish from completing their fishing log, I disagree. Bait only goes so far depending on the fishing hole and there's NO skill involved when it comes to hooking a fish. On straight catches, I just let fish get away until I get the epic pull animation and then it's pure RNG whether it gets caught. Food does nothing on these fish because they're clearly capped on % to catch for a majority of them (specifically the item desynth ones). It needs a major overhaul to be considered fun in my book, otherwise you're just playing a glorified slot machine which to me is no fun.

Part of the reason that the game is successful is because people gave it a chance to be. That is something kind of rare these days given how toxic things have become in the AAA industry.

However I don't think the heart phase should be changed because that right there actually is something that is what is called a "DPS check" something that is a core mechanic in most boss battles in MMOs.

Read what I said again, I addressed that. I specifically said I only used Titan as an example because its a fight most already know and that I didn't advocate for it specifically to be changed.

Besides, what I said doesn't preclude DPS checks. I don't mind them. In fact other games have done similar things to what I suggested, an enrage timer. An AoE mountain buster would be death to most parties. -Some- might be able to pull through it... maybe.. but unlikely, but there is always a possibility. Just in previous games, even after the mob enrages, sometimes you can get it down still.

But again, I don't see anything wrong with the Titan fight as it is now. But just used it as an example.
