Losing Fish

[DTG_Darren]

Please read this regarding fish escaping (referred to in the community as line snapping). Your feedback is welcome! https://dtgfishing.com/losing-fish/

Oh c'mon Darren be serious, how can a fish spit the hook when the line is constantly under pressure?
And what with the LINE tension meter then, and fish swimming at 0.0 meter? This is very wrong!
You know what I think, I think the team does a joke on you :D

OK, this explains why the fishing with multiple rods is now more difficult (maybe even impossible). I agree that having fish hanging on to your other rods waiting for you to land your catch is a bit unrealistic, however the rate at which they are coming off renders the whole premise of using multiple rods pointless.

The suggestion that we change the setting to real time to stand a better chance is not that great a solution. Sessions can be quite long already, and to increase the time scale would make the the amount of time you need to spend in the game quite unbearable. It's a huge sacrafice of your time just to be able to use three rods.

There is also no mention of losing fish when battling on a single rod.

This happened to me at the Observatory on the online tournament where fish were escaping during fights with drag at very low levels.

Strangely though, this did not happen at St John's Lake at the weekend where the fish were a lot bigger.

Ich glaube auch dass das ein Witz sein soll denn ich habe oft nicht einmal die Möglichkeit an die Rute zu kommen da ist der Fisch schon weg.
Und wenn ich gerade einen Fisch drille und auf einer anderen Rute beisst ein weiterer Fisch und ich diese dann nehmen will ist er sofort weg genauso wie der eben gedrillte Fisch.
Die Idee ist vielleicht nicht schlecht aber nicht wenn der Fisch nach einer Sekunde weg ist, wenn es 30 Sekunden dauert dann würde ich sagen das ist OK.
Und wenn es so gewollt wäre wie ihr schreibt dann gäbe es nicht so große unterschiede, denn wenn ich auf kleine Fische aus bin, dann beissen die auch länger aber wenn ich große Waller fangen will oder Karpfen dann dauert ein biss höchstens 5 Sekunden meistens nur 1-2 Sekunden.
Vor dem Update war es als Client genauso dass die Fische so schnell weg waren nur als Host dauerte der Biss lange.

Ich bin für ein Update und das so schnell wie möglich denn so macht es keinen Spaß, das ist eine Verschlimmverbesserung.
Und ich hoffe das dieses Update diesmal nicht 3 Monate dauert.

Hallo Darren

I have no Problems with Fish escaping. i am to slow and the fish spit out the hook before i can grab the rod....my fault.

But i have a problem with this.
The Fish is hooked, the tension meter is blue and i have a good fight.
And then......

Well i would say it's because you are playing the fish like you are sea fishing.. it probably does not help, the hook will come lose if you fish like that irl.

I don't believe in hook spitting while the fish takes a run, this is wrong and can only happen in THIS game. I do believe in losing fish because they can swim on terrain again, here is proof...

coming on terrain fish and flying fish (0.0 meter) is very wrong and results in losing fish and disappointed anglers

They will fix this, I'm sure, we should be very happy the devs still care about the game and keep updating it, remember we are not paying a montly fee here, we only paid a very fair price and they keep working on it.

Just a friendly reminder :)

still think his tension was way too high.

I usually set my tension to 14, then to 16/18 to tire out the little fishy and then if the tension raises drop it down, then lower down the rod vertically. not always helps, but i find more fish break free over 20. and rod straight up

I have just created a new character profile and have been working up through the ranks again, and I have noticed that the fish seemed to be staying on when fishing with multiple rods for longer.

They are not staying on as long as before the update, but it is a lot longer than the rididulous 5 seconds or so with the old profile. I can actually reel in a fish and switch to the other rods.

I can't be totally certain. Perhaps someone else can give it a go.

Just been fishing the Observatory trying to catch the roach boss fish so giving it a go with size 20 waggler and white bread flakes (sinking) and the amount of fish i've lost is ridiculous and due to ridiculous physics.
I get a take, strike and it says good strike but the line goes slack and i have to hold the rod high and reel in every time hoping the line will get tense before the fish spits the hook. Its ridiculous in real life the line doesnt go slack after you strike! wtf is that about? i just quit the game because of this. The game isnt exactly realistic on the whole anyway you'd think they can get at least the striking physics right.

The reason I have confidance this will be fixed is because, after the game is rocksolid, the "New Fish DLC Packs (nfdlcp) will begin, and they CANNOT begin until the game is "rocksolid".

This game will be the Train Simulator for Fish species, I don't mind, I personally am looking forward to Trout. (fly rods too maybe?)/
