I must admit, I've been very patient about this bug but it's really starting to get to me that it's still "under investigation."

I'm annoyed because fishing was fine before but they RUINED fishing for the sake of stopping people from grinding silver (via spearfishing) because they SELL that virtual currency in the Helix Store; as IF silver had many uses to begin with and boy-oh-boy did they patch that quickly. Their initial intention was for fishing to be a fun/relaxing activity that you can do in your downtime, but after they pretty much revamped fish AI altogether, it's been a very stressful activity, completely the opposite of what it's supposed to actually be.

Fishing is just broken, let's be honest here...

• You hook one fish and the whole body of water surrounding you will literally be empty; yes they've made it so schools of fish will respawn faster after this happens but does that help? No.
• Fish can spot you from 2 metres away, you get that close and it will dart off.
• Flying fish!
• Several missing fish!
• Fish swimming under you!
• Shooting a fish with your bow will cause the fish to drop into the void.
• Mashing a button to reel in a hooked fish does almost nothing, it will just continue to pull-off to wherever TF it likes...

...and no one will ever be able to convince me that all of that is supposed to constitute to a RELAXING(?) activity.

I am 100% certain that people are dying to do this activity ONLY to complete the damn challenge and get a unique weapon because I genuinely cannot fathom why anybody in their right mind would want to voluntarily go through this level of stress.

Y'all can stop attacking Ubisoft now, they've updated their "Known Issues" page to include this...

I can only speak for two maps, Oxenefordscire and Eurvicscire.

@deaconrayne Here's my beef with this game... "Write your own Viking saga" makes absolutely no sense because there is a canon ending so your choices don't matter anyway.

Teacher: "Write down whatever you want for homework."
STUDENT HANDS IN HOMEWORK...
Teacher: "Wrong!"

@robster_500 OMG REALLY?! I hope it will fix this and many other issues.

@neovoltron they could have, but didn't. They could also have used gender neural pronouns throughout the game, but didn't.
The issue is, they if they are to give players an option to choose a gender (Canon or not) they need to make sure each choice is immersive and respected in gameplay which they have tried to do, but due to the bug, have not done so.

You're right. I was totally convinced that it was by design that the pronouns are wrong.

Every time I load into the game or reload a save, the Spartan Bow and Moonlight Dane Axe (Ubisoft Connect rewards) keep resetting back to the Superior tier from Mythical tier. This happens consistently even if I upgrade both the bow and the axe to Mythical tier again.

@peacekeepersun I also experience this issue in my game. I always see Chewy in the longhouse but Dandy is nowhere to be found. I've looked everywhere, multiple times over multiple days. I know it's sad to care this much but...I do. LOL...

PSA: As of today, they have now REMOVED the "Wield the Swordfish" challenge from Ubisoft Connect instead of fixing the bug. Unbelievable... This doesn't solve the issue with the fact that nobody can finish the last two deliveries without the big flatfish/mackerel. Come on!

@hroozenbeek Pronouns won't be "dealt with" because despite what Ubisoft said, male Eivor isn't canon. "Let the ANIMUS choose" option (which is also the "intended/canon" option) makes your character female Eivor the entire game except during the mythical arcs...

spoiler

Also, within the historical context of Assassin's Creed Valhalla's universe and lore, the male counterpart never canonically existed as "Eivor." As we are all already aware, even when you play as male Eivor you're stuck with female pronouns and your full name, regardless of your chosen gender, is Eivor Varinsdottir which means Eivor - Daughter of Varin. This is also the reason why Eivor is female in the comic book.

@stroodle_910 I have the same bug and every time it happens, I get given the Yule Festival tattoo set again...and again...and again.

@ubi-borealis Perfect! Thank you very much! This is exciting!

@elmadre1 Oh! Don't know why I didn't get a notification for that, I'm subscribed to News & Announcements. Thanks!

@theeelf Oh? Where did they say that?

Just wanted to pop in and confirm 1.2.0 title update fixed this issue in my game as well. Thank you for fixing it!

@anode85 I suppose they could just add the fish to a merchant's inventory but an alternative workaround doesn't fix the real issue because for a new player - they will expect to be able to catch every fish via normal means. I don't think it's "pride" to want to fix the real problem, they're just thinking long-term.

Hi @ubi-borealis!

Hope you're having a good day! Yes, I'm using everything from the Jackdaw set.

@luigispcrew They do know about big flatfish and big mackerel, community support already said, but people were flippin' out because it wasn't "officially" recorded as a known issue.
