Fishing in World of Warcraft will be easier. How is that possible? Find out here.
More space for timely clicking
No matter how you look at it, fishing is not exactly one of the most nerve-wracking activities you can experience in World of Warcraft. You cast the fishing rod, watch the little bobber for a maximum of 20 seconds, and click at the right moment. That doesn’t sound particularly difficult – or does it? The bobber is rather small, and since you only have a short window of time to click, it can indeed happen that you “miss” and let the big catch slip away.
In Legion, as reported by mmochampion, various fishing vendors around the world will sell an “Oversized Bobber,” a huge bobber that significantly enlarges the corresponding area for 10 minutes.
While one half of the players may roll their eyes and cynically mutter “Typical casualization, now people are too dumb to click,” the rest of the player base is happy. Many people in World of Warcraft fish only “on the side” while they are actually doing other things (watching a series, crafting transmog sets, writing these news).
There are still some concerns, as players often compete for valuable fish in “heavily populated” fishing areas. Those who have a large bobber can easily block the view (and thus the possibility of clicking on their own piece). This would be particularly annoying during the weekly fishing tournament in Stranglethorn Vale. The “Oversized Bobber” will likely soon become standard equipment for every fisherman.
