So the new update has brought a ton of changes, obviously things will take time to sort out but I thought we could use a thread to talk about the changes specific to fishing. Here are some of my thoughts thus far:

1) Fish Pickit - Everyone knows I suffer from occasional bouts of FISHING MADNESS, but I was never OCD about picking up every fish in the game. Beyond the fact that the new update removes my ability to control what fish I pick up, forcing me to mouse over everything and trash individual fish is a very slow and tedious process. I typically only have about 8 open slots as I fish and prior to 1.20 that was enough to only require a few stops per hour to sort out and stack up nice fish but now I have to stop every few minutes.

2) Related to #1 - I can no longer fish when my 16 item slots are full. Prof gain at rank 30 was pretty slow before but at least if I wanted to I could just fish and ignore the drops if I wanted to focus on speed. Now I have no choice but to keep trashing fish all the time.

3) No more monsters in the pond? I haven't run into one yet.

I have not tried anything like group fishing or dark ponds yet so I'd be interested in hearing feedback about those too.

I read that about the fish automatically going to the slots.....I immediately disliked that part. I feel your pain about having to trash all the junkers, such a big waste of time.

If I group fished with you your BIG fishies would just gobble up my little one go find your own pond!

Make your inventory full and then when a good one drops, trash something and pick it up.

The fish go straight to your item slots now, not the item drop box so that won't work. Also you can't tell what drops until you check it directly in your inventory.

Yea even at prof 10 i find it pretty annoying, so i can only imagine how you feel.

I've done a bit of fishing in the puddles or whatever and havent seen monsters so far.
maybe small sample size. but it would be a good change imo.

I love fishing irl and i say let the man fish.....lvl 2 atm but wish u luck as u are fishing king!

me and a guildy went dark pond hunting
we fished for 30 minutes
we got no mobs

i too dont like the fact you pick up every fish... makes it easy to mess up them nice stacks you have

I know it probably doesnt help you, but maybe create a trash pile. Keep 1 slot for random garbage and keep tossing everything on it. Dont even check the stats

Just tossing out an idea
