Update Oct 27th - Going Fishing! - Discussion

Kamilcom (GB1)

Another point about invisible fishng line fix. The original bug is still there, they just added another "check" or layer which is activated if the bug situation happens (coders will excuse my terminology . The problem is that this extra action adds about 2 seconds extra delay, which can make fishing for a specific or agitated fish very frustrating as the time from "throw" to real action is too long and the fish has too much time to swim away. So it's better then it was before the fix, but still needs to be considered a temporary measure and real fix removing this time delay should follow.

It happened again. I rented the boat for about $30K and when the screen showed up I was fishing with an invisible line. Money gone, no fishing do be done. Please fix this.

Question: When you hire a boat, can you also send Oleg, or do you only need to go fishing on your own? Thanks.

The gaps grow between each level.  They really need to be cut in half to keep interest.

I can't even find the catfish. It said to use the boat but I don't have a boat. I don't even see a place to get a boat. where are they?



Bought catfish bait from supply store and fished on Main and Floral farms

I bought the bait but I can't use it yet... Do I need to be a higher level to use bait?

You can do either send Oleg out in the boat or go your self

I still think that you should get xp's..........especially since the levels are so far apart.

Data King (US1)

gavinfarms (US1) said:

You get fishing xp's for bringing in fish.  If you hire Oleg to get fish, you will get xp's for that.  If you do them yourself, you get xp's for that.  If you "hire a boat" and then send Oleg out, you don't get xp's  This seems wrong.

He is doing the work why should you get the FXPs for it ??

Didn't bother much about fishing up until now - cos I thought GGS would do it's best to remove/solve all the bugs and then my chance would come .... But now I am getting a bit fed up with the whole thingie!

It's beginning to get to me to read about so many people enjoying the fishing and even reaching level 25 now ... while I can't still do anything.  
 
As from the start I couldn't fish because of the missing line (no matter how often I tried or refreshed) and now - since the latest update - I have all kind of stuff in my tackle box (never bought it, never dragged it into the box) which I can't remove out of it .... and when I click on "Go fishing!" in the tutorial, it says: "Error: not all conditions are fulfilled" (which is not true, cos everything is there: fishing pole, hook, line, reel - only many more and of higher quality than I ever purchased) ... Aaarchch!!  Happens on every fishing location.

Whenever I am on my Flower Farm and look out over sea where I see all of your fishing ships at the horizon ... I get sad, very sad!      

I guess this fishing event is just not for me ... 

Hi @Jiesta (NL1)

I am sorry fishing does not work for you. Hope this can help:

1) Are you talking about test server or normal one. Namely, latest version was not instaled on a test server and test server is still buggy

2) When you open a tackle box (ring meny -> left side), on a left side you will see your equpment that you have at home and on a right side is what is in the tackle box. You have to move things form left side to the right side of window. At the bottom right side, there is indicator of the equpment. The staff that are missing have red exclamation marks above them

3) Did you follow the tasks on a flower farm? You have to follow the tasks, to unlock fishing.

This is how my tackle box looks like: yellow is equipment from home, black is what is in the tackle box, red is indicator. I have all the equipment, so there is a go fishing button by the indicator.

Many thanks @aaabbb1 (GB1) for your trouble - you're a darling!!!

I knew all this, I figured out how to fish or send Oleg fishing on the test server. Over there the fishing went fine. But in the real game it just wouldn't work... First this darn invisible line and since the last update my tackle box was filled with all kinds of irremovable stuff I never purchased myself .... and the green button "go fishing" gave an error code.

But guess what??? This morning all appeared to be fine after logging in, suddenly the right 4 things were in my tackle box as required (and as I had bought them in the first place) and now everything worked fine ... So did the tutorial and am fishing big time or sending Oleg out to do so for me.

Happy as a little child!  .... COS I CAN FISH!!!!!!!!!!

I looked at tackle boxes and can't even buy one till I level up.  But can't do the catfish thing without bait.  Can't get bait cause no room to put it.

AND STILL no one from GG answers???????  

Yup, my guy is just standing on the dock doing nothing.

They have GOT to fix the invisible line cast vs hiring of boat issue!!!!!!!!!!!! I cast out - catch one fish, cast again, get invisible line, go back to reopen fishing window -- POOF!!! No boat available. It hasn't been 2 minutes, and I will NOT spend gold for something I just got. I also feel it is totally unreasonable to have to buy a bigger, more expensive boat EVERY time!!!

shazamd (US1)

You need to buy FXP to level up so you can upgrade your tackle box to get more equipment slots and your bucket so it will hold more fish.  Select Oleg and click on the right hand tab.  You can use either farm dollars or gold.  If you try to level up just by fishing yourself it will take forever.

I am stuck on the "use sophisticated bass bait" quest.  I have tried all three farms and the boat.  I have tried only having sbb in my tackle box, I have tried having several baits with sbb in first slot.  I have tried with several baits and sbb in a secondary slot, and selecting it during fishing. I have tried clicking on the sbb icon before each cast at a bass, and every other fish I see.I am out of ideas.  The ? help says to open equipment inventory on the right, but the only equipment menu I have while fishing is on the left.

Gardenfairy (GB1)

Open equipment inventory on the left. Select the baits at the bottom. Click on SBB then click on the upward arrow which will add the bass to the water. Hope I could help

ijrosh (US1)

you are buying a bigger boat so you have a chance to fish for fish that are worth a lot more each boat has different places you can fish and each place has different fish worth different amounts or at least when you send the fisherman to do it for you because i have never actually tried to fish myself i always send him out so i know i can make my money back

ijrosh (US1)

because you are paying him to go and fish and it also takes away from you being able to train him for FXP so buy sending him out on the boat you are losing the FXP

HoneyGoldfree (US1)

Thank you, thank you. That did help.

Data King (US1)

That is not true @ijrosh (US1) you can do the fishing on your own and earn the FXP while he is out or busy

ijrosh (US1)

i would have to catch 1,440 kg worth of fish to make up for what i could send him for i do not think it is even  possible for you to fish for that much in a hour doing it yourself but i could be wroung

Data King (US1)

You are right there @ijrosh (US1) you will not get as many FXP by fishing for your self, but you can get them.

Fishing boat is invisible, interface does not let me rent a boat.  next boat available at 00:00:00, skip for 0 gold. when I press skip, an error occurs.   

Data King (US1)

Hey @dchen1 (US1) try logging out then clear your browser history then log back in. I find this usually clears up most of the trouble most of the time

There is no synchronization between side missions and the player level in fishing mini game

I have reached  " stay up to date mission " since I was at level 16 or 17

still stuck at it cause it can't be done until I reach level 25 " I am at level 21 now "

and although I fish a lot and train Oleg a lot, my leveling up is slow

and I  blame the lack of synchronization for that

Dark Underworld (AU1)

best option is just ignore fishing boat.  unless u want farm $$, if u want xp better doing it yourself using bait.  bait is cheaper than boat rental

Gardenfairy (GB1)

I'm glad it worked Good luck with your fishing journey
