New Update- No bites- Devs plz check it

[lynzzfarm]

I been in Neherrin for 5 real life hours. I know what bait to use and hook size ectra. The fish are rolling everywhere but NOTHING is biting! I tried float, lures, and bottom. All the fish that bite small minnows for example are not touching them at all. Also my headlight was still on at 7:30 am (game time) Please fix this bite system it is way off.. Thanks

Yeah part of a "process" beyond their control by the sound of it. The fish are taking over!

Would recommend it for being a well developed and well detailed game. However, support has to acknowledge its errors.
Stop blaming the players, especially experienced players who play for a long time, accept the tips and correct their mistakes.
Nerf in the game shows development incoherence; Increasing fish stamina above what the equipment can handle, completely impairs gameplay, that's a big mistake;
Having bottom fishing tackle above 21kg, and a leader of only 19.5kg does not justify, makes such gear impotential. Remember, we don't have a tugboat to drag these fish.
The equipment that the game offers has become useless in the face of the abusive increase in fish stamina.
Be more coherent and correct stamina by matching the equipment the game has, We can no longer drag the fish with the strongest brutus, absurd what they did.
We are no longer getting the fish out with float fishing equipment, this change has killed float fishing equipment. Not even bottom fishing tackles are getting the fish out.
The delay is absurd to be able to drag the fish, not in real life and no other game is like this.
Where are the fish, you have nerfed the maps, reduced the amount of fish by 40%. Your greatly reduced the catch of the unique fish.
When you correct the items mentioned, I change my assessment. I moved today to not recommended after much stress in catching and attempting to pull fish.
Bad idea the increase of stamina absurdly, you lost track of the game. A game is for our enjoyment, not to cause more stress.
Here's the tip.

Dark times if nothing is done soon! Can you imagine being a new player trying to level at this rate? There is no fun in the game at its current state! Do you guys even bother to test things before releasing or relying on the beta testers who are old timers liking a slow game to only suit themselves and scared to speak up if something is broken? Make the game fun again before it’s too late.

i AGREE..this is awful..its not fun anymore

I totally agree! I’m starting Rus Fish today. FP is not getting any money from me until they fix the game properly.
Btw, I really like the idea of user generated competitions but spending 20+k for a participation in one of those (especially without the possibility of farming sturgeon or similar), is just not gonna work...
It looks like they’re making changes without properly thinking through them and their consequences...
And the most infuriating is the lack of communication from the devs. Is it really that hard to make a post once a week, where you’ll say: Thank you for the feedback, working on the fixes, expect to see improvement in two weeks, two months, three months...
Ah hell I don’t know why I even care anymore...
See you in RF... :(

[Graubart]

Farewell then. I am happy with the game in it's current state and not even interested in listening to your issues. Btw, I catch plenty trohys and when I am at a lake I can clearly see others do as well.

I wouldn't recommend RF4 - it has many problems too and is nerfed after every update. I'd go for The Fisher Online.

You will return once you realise that RF4 is a f2p con. You will discover that after you have put in much money to level-up in premium. Once you get to level 20 you will discover everything is not like it was when you started.
If you go to steam forum you will find many players there complaining about their update lol.

Then why are you in here? The changes haven;t had much of an impact on noob lakes and levels, everyone knows that. They've broken parts of the game you don't play.

But thanks for your really useful input.

I just love this new update, because, before, I was hating this game every day, and now i'm in peace. I had enough. I stopped to worry about. I just have decided to put all my money in another game: The Hunter Classic! Yes! I stopped angling and now i'm hunting.

New bite system a few observations..It can be like before

I figured out a few things. I been in Emerald for 3 days. I have fished there many times. It is different now. Ya cant just stand on dock and throw a size 3 lure or hook out there and get what you used to. If they aren't hitting from direction from dock get in boat and go out mid way and start casting in different directions with a size 1 lure or hook till you find where the walleye are setting, Keep lure slow at bottom and twitch a few times I even released line a few times to drop it back to bottom, they hit it soon after.. I caught more trophy walleye today than ever . Yesterday too, not just a peak times. size # ! light green narrow spoon mostly. Check my profile for proof. Try using the level lure or hook appropriate for level of area your in. Look for fish in different locations than they used to always be. I'm not saying this is the answer but it sure worked for me in Emerald Good luck

It was announced by the devs that fish locations and moving patterns would change with the update. That's what I always try to explain: It's not about reduced bites, it's about reduced bites at the old spots. Find the new ones and you are back. Apparently, some self-named "experts" here, which claim to have 5000+ ingame hours, seem to be unable to accept this simple truth and to be unwilling to search the spots again.

alot of the issues seem to all point to no clear patch notes' 'ow we changed stuff'

Indeed :)

Long time ago in FP people were catching Unique Stripped Bass in ONE location. Casting over and over to that spot. They have been spoon fed the info on where to cast and what to use.

But there was atleast 3 other spots where you could get it :D Same thing was with the trout in Colorado...

I know this example does not apply for this but principle is the same. Now that same fish you caught over and over at one spot can be caught easily just by changing the cast...
