Fix bobber physics

[omni2226]

Any news on when they are going to fix float fishing physics? As it is now it is impossible to tell when a fish is after your minnow or shiner as the bobber is zig zagging around like it has a 2 lb bass on it. I love float fishing but as it stands now it is not fun but rather an exercise in annoyance and frustration. Espcially with the all to often message "bait was pulled to far away fish is gone" when I havent even moved the rod or wound the reel.
And how is it possible for dead cutbait to pull the largest bobber in the game against the wind and current?

am i missing the point but isn't the minnows and shiners livebait in which case it should swim about as an irl livebait fisherman i would be concerned if mine didn't move

Im more bothered about how you can cast out and have about 20 mile of complete slack line apon the first sign of a bite. That part is stupid. The fact the bobber moves around as if being towed and this prevents the bobber even actually bobbing at all apon bites when using shiner or large minnow is annoying but id prefer the first thing mentioned fixed.

The float moves about the same with cutbait anyway, I do not think the Small minnows or shiners are lievebait in any case. As I said if you were fishing for real and your float did not settle correctly or started moving about, you would strike and get a fish. In game you have to wait for the HUD indicator to go fully under the surface level.

Not sure why the hell they even call them bobbers, that is one particular type of float (just a round ball) , most they display are not bobbers.

You do not need tight line for a bite to indicate on a float, the fish is pulling it under, it is not reliant on the tension between the float and your rod tip.

We need shotting in game as well so you can shot the float corrcetly so it actually goes under with little force.

I think that adding some balet music to the float/bobbers movements would be appropriate

All well and good. If it was a beta or test server. Updating the live site? With no playtesting? And expecting players to just "live" with it because shoddy work from game developers is somehow the norm now ?
I have been a online game player since Ultima online. I know how things work. Please do not patronize me.

Not patronizing you. Night fishing and top water just came out of closed beta. Now it's here in open. See how things work? Just the way it would with any other game.

Yes live shiners or minnows will move a float around. Inches. Not in large jerks and for feet at a time. I use live bait a lot in real life. What we have in the game now is not realistic. What we had BEFORE the night fishing update was realistic. And the look and feel of fishing line was spot on BEFORE the update. Now the line looks and acts like a rubberband. Fishing Planet devs need to take a look at Russion Fishing 4 and take some notes on how fishing lines and live baits should look and act.

As I said before they need to sort out the floats and or baits, as currently a Slim float can hold up a large cut bait without sinking, what the hell did they mess up.

Several days ago one of you developers made a post on steam news claiming the physics bugs with floats and rubber band fishing line had been fixed. This is clearly a false statement.

These issues have been on-going since the game went live after the top water night fishing update. The game claims to be super realistic.

Shiners and minnows moving a large float 2 to 3 feet a second? That is not realistic.

Fish that never, ever take a float under when the line has no slack? Not realistic.

Fish that immediately stop biting if you try to take a bit of slack out of the 15 feet of slack that instantly happens when a fish does bite? Not realistic.

Fishing line that looks and acts like a rubber band? Not realistic.

You developers say you will add boats? BOATS? I am laughing so hard I can barely breathe. You cant even fine tune how live bait acts how are you going to handle adding something as dynamic and interactive as boats? Hah hah hah ho ha. :)

Thanks for the laughs I needed some comic relief this morning. Soon some other fishing games will be open. My Steam wallet is pointing in their direction. Maybe I should follow....mmm.

Not to mention how a bobber can dance, bow and curtsey when a fish takes a look at a static bait.

I'm waiting for them to add the triple pirouette.

I know this is no help, but physics are bugged since 0.7

They obviously have no clue how to fix this, it is just getting worse sadly.

The developers dont really pay attention to the forums. The last post I made just above? I copied it and pasted it in the official forums. Four days later ( a new record for them. Usally takes two weeks) I got a response. Guess what it said?

"Hi we will take it all into account, and please be patient. Boats are coming soon."

Can someone wake me from this bad dream? Please?

Boats will not get me to spend more money. Fixing the broken things and adding new places to fish will
