Singing: Where have all the swordfish-salmon-cod gone.....

5 days passing ..... since I saw a single one in a fishpond at sea.

So whats up? I have emptied ponds in hope a pond of swordfish, salmon, cod would appear, but nope. No help there. My very first customer at the fish marked is growing old in waiting for his cod order to be filled.

What to do?

Cheers :)

    See the Mod News Bulletin :¬)
    Wabbit said - We have also seen several posts asking about changes to the various fishing pools & the lack of specific ones. So we will continue to gather your reports over the weekend & get you some answers about that 

    I ain't seen none neither  :¬(

    Wascally Wabbit:  Weekend Fishing Update:

    I'm singing to the tune of Where, Oh Where has my little dog gone>  "Where, oh where have the swordfish all gone?  Oh, where, oh where can they be?"  too much herring with little tuna and shellfish galore, Lobsters out the wazoo.  can't get the daily task done and contracts are asking for swordfish.  Oh my.  Can't earn any money fishing until pools supply what contracts need.  I don't mind working for it, but Really? Put the swordfish in 14 hour pools if you want to challenge me, but give me some swordfish to work for.  Please!!!  I don't mind the fish market, and I get the need to reduce earnings, but a challenge that can't be met is not a challenge...it's a demotivating taunt.

    It takes two days or MORE to clear the side bar task for swordfish,  my pool  one and only in the past two days, has 29 swordfish..     

    Seriously...  this is messed up BIG time.     Are they an Endangered Species 
  • kwk (US1)kwk (US1) Posts: 144
    I haven't cleared the side bar task since update...  so sad.
  • shazamd (US1)shazamd (US1) US1 Posts: 766
    Haven't seen a swordfish since the update....perhaps they're extinct.

    ahahahahaha!  I have 6 tuna/herring pools!!!! where are those lovely swordfish???!! and lobsters???!  :s
  • artful (US1)artful (US1) US1 Posts: 6,617
    Up to my neck in tuna and Chicken of the Sea just cancelled their order.  The cats are prowling the docks.

    I finally got a shrimp/oyster/clam pool, which I don't need or want. Still have 5 herring pools. I don't need or want them either. Boats sitting in dry dock.

    I'm getting lots of oyster and tuna pools and have only gotten one swordfish pool and one lobster pool since the update.  I fished for the first few days and filled several disappointing market orders - now my boats are sitting in the dock. This needs to be completely re-worked.  Totally ruined my enjoyment of the DSF.
  • Did all the swordfish die?

    We have numerous orders for swordfish in the stupid fish market ... but no swordfish. 

    Is this a way to punish us for our complaints, GGS?  B)

    Same thing here :(

    Only getting herring, tuna, lots of oysters, clam and shrimp.

    No swordfish :(

    Im not bothering with my boats anymore until they fix the whole Deep Sea Fishing debarcle.
  • maxiroy (US1)maxiroy (US1) US1 Posts: 436
    No swordfish here either.  Funny after the update I was getting tons of lobster.  I am just wondering if you have to progress in the market more in order to get these other fish.

    That's what I am curious about too Maxi!
    Up until now no complaints about my spots - I am getting an almost equal variety of them all - only had 1 day only herring/tuna spots but as that was what my contracts were asking for - it wasn't such a biggy. But I hear from a lot of players on my server too that they do get the same kind of fish spots over and over again ...
  • Yes, it appears as if GGS switched OFF the swordfish button :))

    They program the ocean for more lobsters, tuna and other crap.
  • Here the same, but not only the swordfish is gone....the lobster is very very rare too. The balance may be back in the game (not) but the fishing area are completly OUT! 
    I hope they will fix this before the HWEfish is going to start. Until then....my  boats keep mostly in the dock!
    The fun was back in the game for me....with the deepsea fishing.....I finaly could buy land and do the Island events again, but now.....I think it's time to stop the game. 
    In my opinion the new changes are not to balance the game, but to balance the bank account for GGS.  :'(

    lobster and swordfish are very rare in my ocean  :s
  • kwk (US1)kwk (US1) Posts: 144
    After days of no swordfish, yesterday I had two pools of swordfish open up.  However, the ratio of swordfish to salmon and cod is tiny.  Same problem with tuna and herring.   36 swordfish less than 100 salmon and 576 cod.  67 tuna and 400 plus herring.  

    That would be ok, except the swordfish pools are so slow coming around it will take forever to build up enough inventory to fill orders.

    I'm looking forward to more news from Wascally Wabbit about what's happening to our pools.
  • I really don't like this new market due to disabling button for selling fish. I am holding almost 75Cr. worth all fish and now I stuck for selling. It's better if u keep both market and sell button too. 
    Those who want to sell can sell and also fill the market orders to get some gifts. 

    Hope you fix this.

    One Swordfish pool opened up late last night and a lobster opened this morning.

    YOU ARE FLIPPING KIDDING ME RIGHT, GGS???  that's GOT to be wrong.... that's ludicrous.... I haven't gotten a single swordfish pool since the update - my very first two contracts call for 200+ swordfish and 500+ oysters. I'm getting NADA swordfish and about 30 oysters at a time. TELL ME HOW IS THIS GOING TO HELP ME EARN ANY MONEY FROM THE MARKET? OR GET ANY MORE CONTRACTS TO UPGRADE IT?? it's impossible. literally.

    STILL ... We get daily SWORDFISH tasks ...
    PLUS Swordfish Contracts from the Fish market.

    HOW IN HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DELIVER SWORDFISH??????????????

    We get no swordfish to catch. HOW???????????????????

    GGS!  look at your programming. You are losing track.


  • JVD (US1)JVD (US1) US1 Posts: 2,784
    this is what is called balancing and adjusting... making it impossible to complete contracts, make money and daily tasks!  :D

    I just keep fishing and hopefully one day, I will be able to complete a contract or a daily task!! ho hum, boring!
  • shazamd (US1)shazamd (US1) US1 Posts: 766
    I suggest that when you get one of those RARE swordfish pools, you equip the rod for the fish you really want to catch.  My swordfish share of that boatload was a paltry 25 fish.
  • Denyd (US1)Denyd (US1) US1 Posts: 7
    I (finally) got a swordy hole... equipped a trawler with a swordy rod, lots of crew.. sent them out overnight to get the (33) swordfish...  yep, they caught them...................  that's ALL they caught... trawler, times, outfitted for 202 fish  ::growls::  come back 14 hrs later with 33 fish.  
      ::throwin my hands in the air n firing the whole - dang - lot of them::  The boats are loading for the F HWE in 2 days, and will dock afterwards, until the next HWE.
  • Magic (AU1)Magic (AU1) AU1 Posts: 43
    Why keep swordfish and salmon in daily task, if you've programmed their pools to appear once in 10 days?

    Why won't GGS admit they've goofed up and fix it?

    I'm getting totally disgusted with this attitude.
  • JVD (US1)JVD (US1) US1 Posts: 2,784
    Day 4... no swordfish, no lobster.  :'(
