  • How do you know what level you are on in the new fishing feature ? There is NO place to find out what level you are on.

    Wascally, I sent you an obscenely long message with much of what I am going to put here.

    Here are the bugs I'm seeing as of 12:00 AM EST 10/29/2016.



    I get this message when I try to open the Go Fishing tab on my (edit) main AND gourmet farm. I go to the tackle box, and I do have everything ready to go.

    ________________________________



    My tackle box is now filled with negative values. I don't even have anything but the first hook unlocked. How can I have -351 of a hook? I am also seeing the same problem under Poles and Reels.

    _________________________________


    The amount of bait I have purchased (left) is not showing in the tackle box. Simple bass on left reads 22; on right, 0 (top left). Simple carp is 20 on left, 0 on right (top right). Simple catfish is 20 on left, 0 on right (center). There is no bait currently in my tackle box on the right so that I can show you that I have not pulled them over. They just aren't showing at all:
     
    So, lots and lots of bugs that need to be fixed. Please pass this to the developers so they can fix the bugs.

    Please fix the cost to profit ratio

    and when I get Pm's I can't see them while fishing

    can you fix that too ?

    Profits seem to be minimal at this stage. I admit that yes its an interesting update and apart from the bugs it IS an enjoyable one but the entertainment value soon rubs off when you realise its not making u much money.
  • When I try to cast out the line it doesn't cast every time. I have to keep closing the window and re-opening it 4 to 5 times in a row to get it to cast. So frustrated I might not even bother fishing. I agree with most people it's a waste of either dollars or gold. Please fix this issue

    A warning for those who haven't reached the task of Stay Up to Date.  You are required to purchase a large bucket for one of the tasks.  If you have already upgraded to the Large Bucket, it doesn't account for this and you're stuck with no way to move forward.

    Also, many have posted that they rented the boat and sent Oleg out to catch a specific kind of fish, but he caught a different kind.  In the early stages, when you have a small bucket, depending on the location you choose for him to fish, it states in the info that he will bring back the lowest level fish, which isn't true.  In some cases he brings back the highest fish.  I sent him out in the Longboat, to the Tranquil Waters where the fish available to catch are Bass, Carp, Catfish and Pickerel.  Lowest level, I assumed would be Bass, he brought back 23 Pickerel.  As you upgrade your bucket, he brings back even more.  At the highest level bucket he will bring back some of each of the types available, so you could get 600 Bass, 450 Carp, 280 Catfish and 57 Pickerel.  BUT as stated in my warning don't upgrade to the Large Bucket until you get the Stay Up to Date task or you'll be stuck and waiting just like me.

    Also once you get to this point you see where there is money to be made, I sent the Longboat out to Rough Waters and here's the breakdown:

    Cost of Longboat Rental: 63,100

    Oleg Brought Back:

    534 Bluefish x 107 = 57,138

    382 Bonito x 150 = 57,300

    191 Mahi-Mahi x 300 = 57,300

    811 Grouper x 70 = 56,770

    38 Hogfish x 1500 = 57,000

    Total = 285,508 for a profit of 222,408

    Not as nifty a profit as the honeycream, but better than a lot of the products.

    For those of you with the invisible line, it would really help if you could post your computer specs. For most systems you can go to the start menu, right-click on "computer"  & they should be displayed in Properties. For Windows 10, you can find them in: start menu >settings > about. You can copy/paste them here or send them to me in a PM.

    Thank you :)

    I am suffering from this too, but I wouldn't say it is an "invisible line" .. It either shows like the fishing rod is casting a line, but doesn't (the rod just moves as if it is casting but doesn't cast a line), or the rod does not move at all .. doesn't even attempt to cast a line.  And this problem has caused many to looe a lot of money and not be able to fish .. since every boat trip costs money and this problem happens in almost every fishing trip if not every trip, so we are either able to catch 1 or 2 fishes only or NONE at all if the problem occurs right from the start.

    It also happens in the regular fishing trip .. It wastes a lot of time too since I have to reopen the fishing window several times before the rod is working again for me to be able to fish for 1 or 2 fishes before the problem occurs again.


    Hope you can fix it soon because it is a very serious problem. 
    Thank you

    I contacted the support service 3 times. I even sent a video of the "invisible line" bug. There are many other bugs when fishing, but the "invisible line" is worst of them. Support replied: "I do'nt fully understand the problem you are describing..." Really great job...This fishing minigame is really fun, when it works. I really hope that bugs are fixed.

    I feel sure the moderators are trying to compile a list of bugs to give through to the bug-solvers on Monday.

    So if we truly want to get the bugs sorted out, the most useful thing we can be doing at this point, would be to give them accurate, comprehensive and factual information on any and all bugs that we encounter.

    That is likely to result in the quickest solution and would benefit us all.

    Vague statements like “the worst update ever”, “too many bugs to mention”, “why don't they fix all the bugs” , “I'm so mad I'm going to stop playing right this minute” (my addition) are perfectly unhelpful and only serve to take up space and make the useful information disappear.

    It also makes us as players seem rather stupid and immature and that would make it easy for them to not take us seriously.

    There will ALWAYS be bugs, unless we are content with playing an extremely simplified game of farming – I know that will not grip me in any way, just doing the same harvesting over and over again, day in and day out.

    So, if the fishing does not work right at the moment, or if it costs too much for you, or whatever else annoys you. don't do it. There is nothing that requires anyone to participate in this new feature if they don't want to.

    It's optional.

    It's not at all like the previous large update where people's farms became immobilized and unworkable in every aspect.

    It does not interfere with the usual sowing and feeding and harvesting, does it?

    Why complain about it then? Just wait until the bugs are sorted out and try again, if you want.


  • I am giving up for now when it comes to fishing.  I am not having fun.
    And the admin dont seem interested enough to help

  • Can anybody tell me why I can't see my line when I cast? Is it a glitch or am I doing something wrong? I have all the need items in my tackle box. I'm on the donate 20kg carp task. But, can't fish for carp.
    I wish someone could fix this I having the same problem
  • I have an invisible line sometimes and when I can see it, there is still a inviable section where the water changes colour from light blue to dark blue.
    I have found that after the 3rd or 4th time that I try to fish my line will return and I can catch 2 fish then it goes again.

    @amandaps The main thing that makes players look stupid is paying a lot of money for broken non functional product while swallowing all the abuse from game makers and all the while showing how happy they are about low standards of the game. :) Btw they have not been taking you or us seriously no matter what, just open your eyes and see. :)

    As to bugs, currently I play two other good complex games. One uses test server and their test server works better then GGS live servers. Another operates without test server and it's nearly void of glitches. If any occur occasionally it's dealt with promptly and precisely all the while showing great respect for players in any related report. The lack of respect and erudition GGS shows is beyond any reasonable excuse.

    The main message those you criticise have is a call for respect and a call for good profesional quality. Customers in general, much less paying customers, should not be exposed to this kind of treatment being sold below standard product and then used as guinea pigs to deal with what game makers for whatever reason neglected.

    And btw you actually suggest that players should either submit to GGS low standards and work as their testers for them without complaints, spending hours analysing and discribing their bugs, or just keep quiet not venting their frustratin or opinion. If you don't mind, I find that to be a very immature view. :)

    Peace. :)

    BRAVO  @amandaps !!! Hear Hear! Nicely put and so true!   Afbeeldingsresultaat voor bravo smiley

    I can't fish. I can't even come past the tutorial because of the invisible line. No problem, I have more than enough to do on all of my farms, so I'll just wait till all bugs concerning the fishing game are solved. I did the tutorial on the test farm and it went fine; I know I will like this new feature now that I know how it works. But I can wait... This way I have something to look forward to.
    And indeed, as you stated: I have passed all bugs I could find to the moderators, like they asked us. Name calling, being rude towards developers/GGS or threatening with leaving the game, etc. etc.  won't help and looks immature.

    And I fully agree: the fishing game is optional. Like taking part on the test server is optional. It's a choice! Like it's a choice to be helpful in finding the bugs or just being rude in your complaints.

    I had a fishing task to donate carp (which, of course, I couldn't do - because my fishing level was only 7 at the time) - but after the hotfix that disappeared, leaving me with only 2 side tasks remaining. *sighs* I'd like it back - it's tough enough to level up as it is, without losing opportunities to gain XP!  I gather that other players have a 'fishing task' of some sort, somewhere - but I don't have one at all, so no idea how to progress, In the meantime, I'm just concentrating on 'training Oleg' in the hope that something may change when I get him to level 15 and the boats are supposed to become available! Happy Daze :/
  • Kamilcom (GB1)Kamilcom (GB1) Posts: 1,499
    I had this thing in mind (too lazy to look for the post). Somebody was complaining about fishing quests jumping from farm to farm. This is actually a feature and rather logical one, as the task goes to the farm where you can fish for the respective type of fish the task asks for. Different farms have different fish in their waters.

    Sorry if that has already been answered. :)
  • Off the bug topic.... but I only just realised that fishing on your own, is much more expensive than sending Oleg to do that:)) That is because when catching a fish, you also lose your hook/lure. Even if using the cheapest hooks, it becomes more expensive:D In some tasks you have to fish on your own, but otherwise it seems kind of stupid.

    But if you catch fish on your own you will also get XP in equal amount of weight of a fish.

    Once you catch a fish start to reel the fish in by holding down the reel button top left in the fishing window as the fish tires to swim away let go of the reel button and tap on it instead to release the tension on the line. Play the fish, continue to alternate between hold & tapping on it.

    Keep on fishing or use Oleg when he is not fishing for you to gain FXP but it will cost you to do so
  • copymouse (INT1)copymouse (INT1) INT1 Posts: 61
    Oleg can fish only bonito and bass?
    Cause I need bluefish to finish task.
  • Just received an email response from support: "Update your Flash Player or try with other browser." That is a short version.... they got to be kidding me:)))

    Now I know that it is waist of time reporting issues to the support/customer service. They hopefully start working on these problems on monday. Hopefully...

    But, it is very weird that I am getting completely obsolete answers and disregard, when this problem affects the whole world, all the players and servers, not just me. Do they read these forums at all, or are they just ignorant?


  • I got to the task to buy a large bucket and had waited to buy it since everyone is having trouble it they bought the bucket first.  Even waiting for the task the bucket doesn't register as complete when you buy it.

    If you are having trouble with your line disappearing at times don't rent a boat. If you lose your line mid trip and have to close out you can't get back on the boat so all monies spent will be lost.

    My fishing is at level 15 now.  I have put a good pole, lure, catfish bait, line in my tackle box and looked at each fishing location.  I have NEVER seen any catfish at any of the 3 locations.  I tried checking out the boat, and again, all 3 boats do not have catfish in the list of fish that I can catch.  It sounds like others have found catfish.  Where are they?

    @vtkady (US1) You can buy catfish bait from the fishing supplies and use that on the pond on the gourmet farm or the stream on the main farm. You can also get catfish from the inflatable boat it looks like. Check out this site it has some great information about the fishing addition http://crazybigfarm.tk/farm/oleg/oleg_inflatable_raft.htm
