You can tell it's not legit because it doesn't end four inches in front of the fish.

beepborpimajorp ยท 30 points ยท Posted at 03:28:19 on March 25, 2020 ยท (Permalink)

Well they know if they keep getting caught they'll break our rods, thus potentially stopping us from fishing entirely and saving the rest of their kind. So maybe not predators in the traditional sense, but predators of flimsy rods? Yes.

ViceroyBvS ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 08:15:44 on March 25, 2020 ยท (Permalink)

I see they are employing the Zapp Brannigan method to prey on our fishing rods.

They are the disposable fodder of the Fish Kingdom. The front line troops. Their job is to fall upon the swords (hooks) of their eternal enemies, the surface walkers, to protect the fish higher in the hierarchy of the deep.

For me, unless they're directly facing the bobber in a straight line, they ignore it. It also has to be a ways in front of their face. So it's more like

Just make it animated and add in the part where the fish turns in the completely opposite direction as soon as you cast your line, then swims so far into the middle of the pond/river area that your line can't reach it, and it'll be perfect.

I feel like the fishing system in this game is way worse than in NL, but all my friends keep telling me it's about the same. But I never came close to flinging my 3DS out the window because I had to be pixel perfect with my casts. I recall being able to let the bobber sit until the fish got closer to it and would then notice it and start nibbling. But then again, NL also didn't have tools breaking so I wasn't going red in the face with frustration when I caught my 80th seabass and had my 3rd rod snap in half within 15 minutes of play.

abusivecat ยท 63 points ยท Posted at 01:41:15 on March 25, 2020 ยท (Permalink)

Man fishing used to be so fun in the old animal crossing. Now Iโ€™m catching 10 seabassโ€™ and crafting fishing rods every 5 minutes. I hope they fix the whole fishing system and tool system too.

beepborpimajorp ยท 49 points ยท Posted at 02:44:10 on March 25, 2020 ยท (Permalink)

Agreed. At the very least, make the gold tools unbreakable. It's a good goal to work towards, and anyone who gets the gold rod, etc. has seriously put the work in. Then they need to adjust the durability of everything else.

If I have to have like 10 spare fishing rods in my bag while I'm throwing bait trying to catch specific fish, the system is bad and they should feel bad.

8bitfarmer ยท 9 points ยท Posted at 03:19:06 on March 25, 2020 ยท (Permalink)

I heard that some people (time travelers, perhaps) have learned that golden tools do break as well.

However, if they broke only every other day I think I could live with that.

beepborpimajorp ยท 18 points ยท Posted at 03:21:29 on March 25, 2020 ยท (Permalink)

They do break and need to be recrafted using gold ore. IDK about you but I only have about 5 in storage and I rarely get them on a regular basis.

8bitfarmer ยท 14 points ยท Posted at 03:23:25 on March 25, 2020 ยท (Permalink)

I rarely get them as well, which is why Iโ€™m hoping for acceptable durability.

The kind that makes me go โ€œoh yeah, been awhile since I last crafted. I feel like I got my oreโ€™s worthโ€

But also the lack of silver ore or anything intermediate makes me feel like it wonโ€™t be the champion of tools :(

Inferiex ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 11:16:02 on March 25, 2020 ยท (Permalink)

Wait there are silver ores!? Or do you mean iron?

8bitfarmer ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 11:19:08 on March 25, 2020 ยท (Permalink)

Potential spoilers for NL and NH...

There were silver ores (and all sorts of colored gems) in New Leaf, which you could use to re-color/customize furniture.

Iron ore did not exist in New Leaf.

Silver ore and gems do not appear in New Horizons (yet? ever?) with the exception of gold ore, however it seems the purpose has changed (from customizing furniture to now building tools).

I had meant since golden ore was the only ore to upgrade tools, that means its a third tier tool and is unlikely to be awesomely durable (if there were silver tools, Iโ€™d expect gold tools to be even better!)

Dismal equipment durability systems seem to be Nintendo's thing now based on BotW and ACNH. Greatly looking forward to the next Mario game in which I assume we'll have to replace Mario's worn-out shoes every 50 or so jumps.

beepborpimajorp ยท 38 points ยท Posted at 03:33:12 on March 25, 2020 ยท (Permalink)

Yeah I totally get it existing in games like minecraft, etc. that exist for micromanaging and stuff but AC games are the anti-thesis of micromanaging and all it accomplishes in this game is adding artificial length to the game by forcing people to either keep farming tree branches or whatever or just going, "eff it" and buying like 10 of a tool from nook's cranny.

What got me today was my iron watering can breaking. Seriously? I just want to water my god damned flowers in peace animal crossing.

Athanasa11 ยท 12 points ยท Posted at 04:51:08 on March 25, 2020 ยท (Permalink)*

It's my sling shot that broke today...-_-

That made me think about the ladder and the perch, I hope they didn't put a durability on them, because it isn't going to be fun getting stuck on a side of a river that you can't cross unless you have the perch.

Edit: After playing for a couple of days with them I know for a fact that they don't break, but when you are starting the game and you see that the other tools are breaking after a couple of uses, it can be a fear that the ladder and the vaulting pole could break anytime too.

I assume for if you drop your ladder or vaulting pole somewhere and someone steals it or something. I've played multiplayer games enough to know how this works. Sure, it might be an edge case, but it can totally happen.

Also probably in case you do something dumb like trap yourself with furniture while someone is visiting, or if something just glitches and you get stuck. Or maybe if you terraform just wrong? Dunno. There's a lot of potential things that could go wrong.

IMO the better fish have a narrower cone. It seems it has to be mostly in front of the better fish for them to go after it.

Some of the fish definitely have quirks to them. Rocks seem to be able to see almost anything, red snappers I feel have extra narrow fields of view even feel the better knifejaw has a wider view.

I think it's gotten worse too. I still have my muscle memory from fishing in new leaf, and it feels like new horizon fish are just even more blind. That's frustrating enough, but then the fishing pole breaks immediately after you spend a full minute trying to get the fish. 9_9

I know it's a joke guys but they use unreal engine 4 for the game engine. And I also use unreal engine for making games and the promblem they made when making the fish is that the moved the ai cone to far in front for the fish size levels under 4. So this cone isn't accurate(I know it's a joke). Also this will be mixed during the Easter update I bet so look forward for that lol.

I feel like fishing really highlights just how antiquated and clumsy the controls of ACNH feel... I could tolerate it on the 3DS because of hardware limitations, but there is literally no reason for controls to be so clunky on the Switch.

We really should be able to aim where we are casting instead of trying to find the exact right spot to stand and fiddle with facing the right direction with overly twitch movements.

The worst part is the ground works of making aiming a fishing pole already exist with the big net, it wouldnโ€™t be that hard for them to let you hold action button and aim where you want to cast.
