Fish Eyes is absolutely terrible

[Zephera]

Been trying to catch Opibania on the Flagship for over a week now and I'm pretty sick of wasting GP trying to get the right Fish Eye's buff to catch the Proto-Hropkens required.

Either let us pick which Fish Eyes we use when we trigger it or reduce the cost to activate it, because wasting 350 GP, sometimes up to 3 times in a row, and not getting the right buff each time is annoying as all hell.

I feel you, but I doubt SE will change it. It took me weeks of trying whenever I had time, before I caught this thing. D:

Just had another attempt at it, didn't manage to catch it due to Oil Eels polluting the odds.

Fish Eyes was even worse this time though, had it pick the Barreleye buff 5 times in a row instead of the Proto-Hropken buff during prep time. That's 1750 GP not only wasted, but producing the opposite of the desired effect, don't think any other buff in the game does that. I like the challenge of fishing, but this is straight up fake difficulty.

Halo has 3 different fish eyes.....

My fisher alt still has yet to catch 2 HW big fish, and neither is a fish eyes fish.

I actually caught Problematicus at Halo in a much more reasonable time frame of a day and a half, the trick is to prepare in advance by catching 2 fossiltongues before the window opens. I actually found Lord of Lords harder since you have to deal with all 3 Fish Eyes there. Flagship still feels a lot worse though with how rare the Hropkens are already.

I don't think there are fishing holes as bad for Fish Eyes as Flagship and Halo though, very happy to have them out of the way and to never go back to them again. Really hoping they don't make the same mistake with other fishing holes like those two.

On a different note, 23 more HW big fish to go, working on Raimdellopterus now.

Pretty sure it's there to add an additional element of difficulty to fishing, and it was probably either that or having an increased cost for our hooksets. Otherwise, the amount of chances you would get at some fishing holes would be quite high in number. I mean when you boil it down, it basically takes away your cordio advantage to add fish to the pool, and I believe this was SE exact intention with it.
