I'm stupid sorry responding to too many comments too late at night this is on the video I just made. The only time I lost a fish is when I tried to lose the fish so I'm not sure what's you could be doing differently
Correct. Not sure why the guy is pretending this is easy. You have to have incredible reflexes to beat the "hold the button" minigame or else the fish stamina heals and you will almost always lose the fish. It's incredibly frustrating
@@JamestheKilljoy He is not pretending. Ive been using this new fishing system with no issue, and I do not have exceptional reflexes. The new fishing is so easy, too easy really. I will not be surprised if it gets a bit of a tweak.
After burning through 100 bait, I can say there is nothing that "fixes" the fish stamina going up problem. Relogging does not work, joining a party does not work. Sometimes the bug doesn't trigger, but most of the time it does and I've yet to find any indication of what could be the source of the problem. That said, I'd rather just fish with grenades and a net at this point.
@@FringePatriotGaming Yeah it's frustrating. Especially when you go out to Myer's Market to snag yourself a beaver, decide "Hey why not" and go for an eel. Get it on the first cast, and watch it's stamina bar continue to go up while yours continues to go down. Hopefully they figure out whatever it is that's causing it and fix it, I've never been much of a fan of fishing minigames but it's that much worse when the game itself is only sometimes working and only working for some people. Loving the rest of the game though at least.
How does that happen? Do you pull the rod when it tells you to? I literally had to have a fish on for two minutes and ignore every prompt to lose a fish because I ran out of stamina
I'm not wearing stamina boosting armor and I didn't eat or drink anything to buff my stamina either so I'm confused as to how you are running out of stamina. I'm wondering if it's maybe a bug or something
There is a bug where the a and d prompts are displaying that they got completed but they aren't actually working. This will cause you to lose fish. I hear re logging or joining and leaving a party will fix it
If you have this Dino deviant, there's a meat that you can cook that adds 30-50 Stamina. Ingredients is only 1 meat, any meat that you can find. This helps me a lot to catch those eel and bigger fish.
This is a huge improvement from the original system and it is easy once you get used to it, I see people complaining: "Wah it's too hard." No, it really isn't as long as you pay attention. I brought five mince bait with me to the new scenario and got one barracuda, and two eels before running out of bait. Just got to practice a bit maybe. When it says press A/D you do have to hold it until it is fully "engaged" that's the only thing I can add. I was actually here though hoping to find something to do with the barracuda, before it falls apart. But otherwise, I thought the mechanics were very well explained.
@@duratoke yeah I agree the new system is cake. There was (or still is) a bug where the a and d prompts appear to work but actually aren't working. I think that is the main reason people were complaining.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for this video! I was thinking fishing was bugged for me since it looked different than what I saw in videos here on YT. Until I saw this one with how it looks now. Gosh I was about to eat my shoe out of frustration because I could not reel in a single fish before my rod snapped. Now it finally works thanks to your guide. Big thumbs up!
Nice I'm glad it worked. The a and d prompts had a bug where they would look like they are working but they aren't but I think they fixed that bug. But if you start losing fish for no reason re logging usually fixes it
@@FringePatriotGaming It works perfectly fine with A and D. It only snapped once and that was due to lag so thats on my end. I'm so glad I can do it now, now i can try to get the electric eel :D
This new fishing is so bad. Everything was fine first thing this morning. Caught 5 fish for weekly quest, then all of a sudden I cant catch a thing. I am watching every fish stamina go up after every press of a or d for mini game. Ive tried keeping tension close to top, 3/4 of way half and lower. Ive tried feathering, and going with direction of the reel, I even ate some food to give me 25 more stamina and 90% of fish dont even get half way down in stamina before all mine is gone.
So I've heard there is a bug where the a and d prompts appear to be working but don't do anything. If you are losing fish constantly even though you are hitting the prompts I heard re logging or joining a party will fix it
I went from catching 75-80% with the old system to 1 in 30 with the new system. For a minigame with no decent rewards at all this is the most worthless patch I have ever witnessed.
I'm guessing you had the bug because it's impossible to lose a fish if you are doing the stupid pull left or right system. Re logging or joining a party usually fixes it.
Dude you are telling me nothing. I was not expecting this many comments of people struggling with it. I think it boils down to the bug that makes the system not work but look like it should be working
The system inside the game is not clear at all without explanation. It makes it seem like you have to spam reel before the line breaks? Then when I press A or D and hold nothing happens sometimes, so I have to keep paying attention to if it's even working and try again. Then when I GET the fish it doesn't want to let me press F either, so I have to keep pressing till it works. it's so weird. I swear the buttons and UI in this game are so inaccurate and confusing. I have problems all the time with F not working to open chests, get in vehicles, use ladders, etc.
That's strange, I was just fishing and had no problems but I've heard a lot of people saying the system is still buggy. I'd maybe try re logging but that doesn't sound like it will fix your problem
@@scorpionking355 same here. do you guys also experience the buggy system? I cannot move or build, craft anything in my territory because it says that it exceeds territorial range even though i am inside my territory. just when i am fond of this game and it slowly disappoints.
It has to be a bug or something because I can hardly force myself to lose a fish. Idk why some would be affected and not others though. What bait and which dock were you fishing at, was it on a fishing surge event? I'm trying to figure out what's happening because you aren't the only one I've heard say this
@@FringePatriotGaming the thing is that whenever i fish the fish starts to gain stamina again regardless of what i do i was doing what u are doing and still havent caught afish in the new update
So how do you keep the reel from going to the red zone? You didn't seem to mention that. because if it's the A or D to move left or right, it does not appear on mine. It just goes straight to red and snaps
I've fished for weeks...I'm still 7 fish away from all 22 for the season goal. Can you get all of these in one spot!? I'd really like to finish t his challenge.
@@jackwong5816 I don't think you can get them all in one spot. With the new fish added though if you went to a dock you haven't been to there might be a chance you get 7 new fish from that dock.
In the tank? Idk if you have em in the tanks then put them in your inventory then move them to eternaland then maybe you could take em into the next season but I'm sure it would cost points off of whatever resources transfer point system they come up with
the reel is confusing, i stay in blue and it snaps saying i had too much tension when i didnt. i think the moving reel is saying if the fish is pulling
Yeah that's what I said but I'm no 100% sure of that. Only time my line snapped was when I had the tension bar filled up. I know there are a few bugs with the new system could be why your line broke early
@anordinaryguy4677 I heard there is a bug going around where the a and d pull rod prompt show that they are working but don't actually do anything which would cause you to lose every fish. If you start losing fish again then a relog should fix it
If it's not working try re logging. I heard there is a bug with a and d prompts that make them not work even though they show that they are working. If that's not it I'm not sure
You need to hold a and or d when it prompts you. Also the a and d prompts can be bugged where they display they are working but they aren't. Re logging usually fixes it
Glad it helped. If it starts not working again try re logging because I heard there is a bug where a and d prompt appear to work but aren't actually working. Re logging usually fixes it
Are you pulling the rod. The only fish I've lost are ones that I had to go out of my way to purposefully lose. Also I liked the old system better tbh the old fishing just needed a coat of paint
@@FringePatriotGaming nah I found a glitch that causes the A and D prompt to show it's working but it is actually not. Joining a party fixed it, as will restarting the game. Still a boring mini game tho
@@JamestheKilljoy oh seriously? So you think you are hitting the prompts but in reality the game isn't registering it? That's wild I knew there had to be some sort of bug because the system is so easy it's boring yet I keep getting comments saying it's broken. Thank you this is massive and hopefully people see your comment and can fix it on their end as well. Do you know what triggered the bug by chance?
@@FringePatriotGaming I have no idea what triggered it, I couldn't reproduce it after fixing it by joining a party. Tho I found one other person that had the issue and fixed it by restarting the game. I think it's some sort of desync thing with the servers, but I don't know enough about networking and the games programming to know for sure
@@FringePatriotGaming I would hold A or D as soon as the prompt came up (I have good reflexes) and it would show it almost completely finishing the spinning arrow, but would like cancel out and fail every single time. Which makes it almost impossible to catch a fish
Haha I'm guessing you had the bug that makes the pull prompts appear like they are working but they aren't. Typicslly re logging, joining a party or crafting another rod fixes it
I've heard of a bug where the a and d prompts are not working even though they show that they are. If you are losing fish and doing the prompts doing a re log should fix it
@@FringePatriotGaming Yeah new system seems very bad for me atm when i use A and D prompts the fish gains stamina instead of losing stamina i tried relogging and restarting have not been able to catch a fish since the update i had 0 trouble with the old fishing
BE SURE TO COMMENT! How many new fish have you caught?
tried the new fishing, worse then ever before, the fish HEALS whether i hold the action to tilt the rod or not, literally impossible to catch a fish.
I'm stupid sorry responding to too many comments too late at night this is on the video I just made. The only time I lost a fish is when I tried to lose the fish so I'm not sure what's you could be doing differently
This happened to me as well, the fish's bar increase instead of depleting after you complete the A or D. Close and relaunching the game will fix it.
@@bbfifi1991 I have the same problem, closing and relaunching doesn't work.

Lmao I'm sorry, that is insane. I haven't heard of someone that ends up getting stuck with the bug. Nades and nets would work

Im with you, same bug@@Ka05Incarnate
I can't catch the fish because I deplete my stamina faster than the fish's stamina.

Saw a guy whose fish was GAINING stamina as he was doing everything right. Still buggy
@@FringePatriotGaming I am having the same issue.
@@Pdasniper how to fix the bug
