The new fishing mechanics need adjustments

My question is does the fish jerking, moving away, make the line red?

No the line turning red is solely based on whether or not you are reeling it in and the speed at which you are reeling it.

@Corgi_C

The reason why its not a perception is because while maybe nothing has changed code wise, the hours that some players have spent fishing before the patch and after, its just super obvious to people who have spent some amount of fishing before the patch.

I’m not saying there isn’t a difference overall in the speed of catching fish or the difficulty, merely that the line isn’t turning red any faster and the speed of reeling hasn’t changed. We’ll do some more looking into it and see if some changes need to be made overall.
