Thread: Big Fish and You - Patch 2.4 (speculation (or is it? :))

Hang in there xD at least the window's somewhat common...I know how you feel though. Always a Goldfish when you need a Betta, always a Betta when you need a Goldfish.

I really shouldn't complain, apart from the few fish I caught in 2.3, I haven't been at the super long and I'm at 56/112. Which all things considered isn't that bad for a bit less than 2 weeks for fishing.

And as I'm typing this I just caught Thousand-year!

I'm rather sad at how rare these windows are for Helicoprion, Blood-red Bonytongue, Bat-o'-Nine-Tails, Shonisaurus, The Old Man in the Sea, and hoping to catch that void bass one day... 10+ Fish Gets Away so far and yet I already have 4 legendary fishes... RNG is random.

But yea at least I made it to 106!

Those rare windows are exactly why I loved this fishing patch. The fish conditions themselves could be SUPER annoying (big fish mooch for shoni, for example) but, personally, I really enjoyed having to work for it for a change instead of just show up -> cast rod -> catch fish. I like that fishing in this patch drew a line between casual fishing and fishing that people actively work for which made getting the title feel that much more significant. Just personal opinion though

Except you still do that, just less frequently. >.>

Yeaa you don't work for those weather windows, its actually a very big drawback because you are now completely screwed if you don't play enough to see those windows.

I played like 20 hours on saturday and 12 hours on sunday (I work full time mon-fri) and then a few hours each weekday and have yet to get a single blood-red bonytongue window. And got a few windows for those im missing~

In 2 weeks of fishing I think the only window I have never seen is for Terpsichorean. Fog in Eastern La Noscea is probably one of the rarest weathers in the game. And ya for Bloodred I've only fished the window once. The weather pattern is actually coming up soon, but WRONG TIME. /sigh

Not sure if anyone can answer this but I thought I'd ask anyways: Is it still possible to catch Carp Diem in Gridania during the Christmas event? It's snowing and you need fog/overcast I believe. Did SE bone us? lol If they did guess I'll just have to wait till Jan 1st.

I honestly had no idea so I went and checked the upcoming weather via the Skywatcher in Mor Dhona and she said the weather for Mist was going to be Snow -> Snow -> Snow -> Snow. It looks like they've overwritten the weather for the area rather than just re-skinning and so, presumably, that means there won't be any fish weathers up . Seems we've been boned good and proper.
