Since the fishing feature was added to the game, we've seen ongoing discussions and some complaints asking whether the fishing drop rates were secretly changed. Since these voices got louder after the latest update, we figured it's time to clear things up.
So here's the truth:
We've never changed the drop rates since the fishing feature launched. Not even once.
In fact, we've also noticed detailed data tests posted by some players. The odds might seem to fluctuate in small samples, but once you gather enough data, it's really the same as the original version.
That said, in the last update we did make a few adjustments to the fishing system — but not to the odds. These changes were meant to improve the feel of fishing and fix some "shortcut" methods that weren't intended. However, we admit that some of these adjustments may not have felt great in the end, and we're planning to fine-tune the experience further.
So no, the rates weren't secretly changed — but yes, we hear you about the fishing experience feeling a little inconsistent sometimes, and that's on us. We take this seriously and will keep working on improving it.
Once we're ready with a proper solution, we'll let everyone know. No secret changes.
