Sea of moving ice fishing is beyond frustrating

shapipshapip Member Posts: 2 Arc User
Ok maybe it will just take some getting used to but so far I've tried for about 30 minutes to catch a fish on the sea of moving ice without any success - after my bar is about halfway the fish escapes. Maybe I made 3/4 the way up the bar once but never filled the bar. Then all my bait disappeared so I can't even waste more time failing to catch fish. I'm probably doing something wrong but it's been an extremely frustrating experience so far. How do I get more bait? Is there a trick to catching the fish beyond trying to play simon says with the blue arrows as fast as possible when they flash?

    You can buy bait with gold at the consumables vendor.

    Don't click the key (Q, E or R). Hold it down until the next key flashes. Sometimes it flashes the same key twice in a row, don't lift your finger.

    Also, don't lift your Q, E or R finger to hit 1 when you have the bar full.

    I have a guild member who's also having issues. I'm wondering if there is a bug. I didn't have any issues fishing, personally, other than a migraine from the camera, but that could be from something else too.

    Looks like you either didn't understand the mechanics or are victim of a bug. The thread title still applies ;)​​

    Same for me wylonus. I need to make a move (even a minimal one works) to stop it. If it stays up more than a few secs (like when I'm trying to catch a hard fish) it really gives nausea.

    3 Hours to do opening quests and dailies for the first day? Most of it is traveling around in a boat where the camera wiggles still make me want to vomit. Awful. :/

    The pictures of the keys to press indicate left, down and right, which would corresponds to the keys A S D (for me).
    Contrary to the picture the buttons to press are Q E R.

    I really wonder who came up with this idea, but he certainly should get a raise as he wasted tons of player hours in which they could not create ADs. Good job!
