ANOTHER BROKEN TOURNEY! :(


Recommended Posts

Seriously. This crap again? Same as the pike tournament. I've made it through the first hour of the first qualifier. I've had a minimum of 150-200 bites. Only been able to set the hook on 6 fish out of those bites. Every time a fish spawns and goes to bite, the whole screen freezes up for about 2 seconds until the fish stops biting. I've had 4 fish actually on the hook and the bars be up into the orange and pulling drag, then the fish completely disappears off my line. The same thing happened with the pike tournament.

I've asked multiple friends, and they're all experiencing the same problem. I would appreciate it, if everyone will chime in and let them know it's a problem for them as well. Not like it will matter anyway, we'll just be told "everything is working as intended", and nothing was done to fix it during the pike tournament either, but hey...it's worth a shot.

Final results. Got 20.796lbs in 2 hours. 20 fish, 4 bowfin, 16 bass. Over 300 bites that lagged, only 20 hooksets. That is absolutely ridiculous. Not even 1 single trophy either. This bite lag issue only happens on PS4. Not on PC. So obviously there is a problem they need to address.

We'll see after tomorrow. In practice in Neherrin, under the same weather and pressure conditions as the tournament, I caught 440lbs of fish in 3 in game hours. Over 30 of those trophies. If it lags like that when they bite tomorrow, I freaking quit. I'm deleting the game.  I'm sick and tired of all of the bugs they refuse to acknowledge or address. I follow suit of many other players and just move on and invest my money into something enjoyable.

Agreed, seems like they completely change everything. I had the same issue with unhookable fish, far far more than my occasional missed strike. Also since LmB is my most fished species & one I have the most knowledge of ingame (& irl) kinda figured I'd do decent, but threw every rod & lure combo at them & still got only 2.002-2.203lb fish! Not a single trophy in 8 game hrs, when normally I can fill a net with trophies on even the worst of days in that time frame. I really like the tournaments but something needs to be changed, there's no possible way to practice for a tournament if they're so few per year & the parameters are so different from daily fishing. Even if they made tournaments similar to daily fishing it would still need work considering the way they fiddle with catch/bite rates for tournaments & events, the missed strike rates shouldn't skyrocket 1000% like they do.

So glad i decided to skip this one . I haven't fished for over 30 minutes in 2 weeks.

Me and you both Chris. Tmif said he would never do another tournament after the catfish fiasco, and I could tell by his group post yesterday that he's not a happy camper with this one either. I figure this will be the last straw for many.

At least you got to do the Catfish tournament. I registered. Had the qualifiers listed in my applied list. Logged in the next day to do the qualifier and was no longer registered. 5 minutes into the tournament and I had already emailed support. Took them several hours to reply, and I was told "According to our game files, you never registered and we cannot add you to the tournament.". Try that one on for size. I'm so fed up.

I've noticed that not only in the tournaments but the comps too that topwater lures end up having a horrible hook rate.  I don't claim to be a topwater expert, but I use them a lot in regular fishing and have lowered my "miss" rate by a lot with practice.  I do a comp or tourney and I go back to being a newbie again, watch the topwater lure get pulled under, watch the tension go up, and just end up missing the fish over and over.

With all the complaints about cranks being broken (I still catch things with them) I'm surprised there isn't more of an uproar about topwater in the comps and tourneys.

Well today, everything worked as it should. Unfortunately I ended up in 45th place when I quit with just under 45lbs. Can only blame the RNG for that one, which I have no complaint about. Yesterday was still ridiculous. You'd think they'd at least test some of these things before putting them out, or fix them after the same complaints over and over. Oh well, I gave it my best today. Luck just wasn't on my side. Good luck to all in the tourney.

I don't get that much with topwater during comps. Only during tourneys, with the pike tourney being an example. The majority of the time if I miss with a topwater in a comp, it's because my line is too slack to set the hook, or I try and set too early/late. From what I can tell, the topwaters aren't broken, however, after months of complaints from virtually everyone that plays the game, we obviously know that crankbaits are.

Ended in a similar position myself. Was probably one of my best topwater days which just highlights how bad yesterday was.

And here I thought I was the only one that had trouble yesterday. What kind of voodoo did they do to get that many fish on the leader board? Sad to see that many were affected, even the guys in my lobby. Looking forward to today's trial (after HeadShot's and Tmif 's update) Good luck all!

Same here Headshot; today was much better than yesterday, lol the strike lag bug was still horrible but I fought thru better today. Actually most my fish were caught on the 2nd strike immediately following the lagged one, used a real unorthodox (non rythmic) reel style after each lag strike. Still did worse & had way more missed strikes in 1 session than in the past few months combined. Hopefully they figure out the issue & get the ps4 version up to par with the pc version, cause I hear they don't have even a fraction of the issues we have.

 
I would've left the game awhile ago, but the upbeat community & folks make the issues a lil more bearable; tho without addressing them, those folks will leave & basically leave no reason to even deal with the issues.
