Fishing

Can you please make fishing easier? Or slower? I finally got a fishing rod after one season and am trying to figure out how to use it. Maybe I don't have enough practice and it's me, but I haven't been able to catch a single fish yet. 

Or any tips on how  people have fished would help.  I need help on the movement keys.

Hello, I’m sorry to hear you are having trouble. I’ve gotten a wide variety of responses on fishing. Many people say its too hard, but I’ve also heard its too easy from others. I fall somewhere in the middle personally.

All that said, it is on my list of things to look at and consider. Based on how its varying in difficulty so widely the mini game might just get replaced. Before I go that route however I think I’m going to be trying some things with bait to alter how the game plays.

The advice I have heard passed around via discord is that somehow fishing in the ocean is easier for many people who start. Different bodies of water have different fish, which have different difficulties, so if you have trouble in once place try another. The fish that appear are also dependent on the time of day and the season.

Other than that the one thing I tell people, cause I’m always concerned about it, is despite the symbols being arrows you will still use the movement keys (probably WASD) to complete the mini game. Other than that it is in your best interest to be slower and more accurate in that game. When you incorrectly press a button it speeds up the rate at which the bar shrinks. Every time you press a button correctly it slows down. The game is meant to be a marathon not a sprint. You still have to go a little fast, but accuracy is more important. Hopefully that helps a bit, and if not, then it should be getting looked at sooner rather than later.
