Please do not permanently remove the fishing minigame

[Jeffthaniel]

I am the person in every playthrough of this type of game that is the fisherman. I personally found the mini-game endearing and thought it had personality compared to many other games I've tried. It was exciting to know i have a new fish on the line based on new patterns.

Please add it as something toggleable, or at the very least, don't leave it as is.

I'm very excited for all the new content, thanks for the passion devs.

Given that the developers have stated they're looking into reworking the whole minigame, maybe it would be prudent to have a toggle in gameplay settings for "legacy fishing" in the meantime if possible? That way the people who liked it can continue to use it until the new one is implemented, and the people who didn't like it don't have to deal with it if they don't want to.

Hey everyone! We heard you — a toggleable option to switch back to the old fishing system is on the way for those who preferred the original mini-game. We’re working on it and will add it as soon as we can!

Thank you! I was just going to ask for an option to get the fishing game back.

PS: Love the game!

I hated the old fishing mini-game as it felt like a slog to get through. However I can see that a lot of people did enjoy it.

I'd say it should be a toggle so those that enjoy it can still do it, while those that hate it can avoid it and just grind fishing out.

As a day 1 EA'er, I came to the forums for this very reason, glad to see it coming back. I loved the minigame for fishing, it made the challenge of fishing perfect for the level of fish you were catching. I always thought mindless minecraft style fishing was very boring.

I'm glad that they are adding a toggle for those of you who actually like the fishing minigame, even though that's really weird.

I hated the minigame and the moment I noticed it was gone I did a dance of joy. It was by far my favorite change in 1.0.

as someone who hates these fishinggames, for example World of warcraft has the same system, i must say i am suprisingly ok with this one.
ususally games that have you stare in anticipation on the bopper have repeating waterpatterns that make me go crosseyed. i dont have that problem here.

so kudos for getting that right.
i'd be happy to see it stay in the game.
(but as some of the opposition say, a toggle option is always better. more options = more better)

i hate fishing minigames. as it gets way to hard for rare fish

[eighmy_lupin]

Please make the toggle per player and not a world setting that way people who want the mini game and those who don't can play together

+1,

I too was thoroughly heartbroken when I cast my line for the first time since the 1.0 release only to have found they took away the minigame I prided myself on against my companions. Besides taking away my singular use in the team, I simply miss the fun of it. A toggle would slap for those who enjoy it and those who despise it since it really doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of the gameplay loop.
