Fishing Fails in Destiny 2: Beware of Inactivity Detection

In the latest season of Destiny 2, players can now enjoy the long-awaited fishing feature. However, some fans have reported losing hours of progress due to the game's system for detecting inactive players. Season of the Deep takes players back to the methane oceans of Titan, where they can cast their reels and try their luck at catching rare fish. Despite its introduction, many in the community feel that the fishing feature has room for improvement.

Fishing in Destiny 2 operates similarly to other games, with players casting their reels and waiting for a bite. However, Bungie has added their own unique twist with the introduction of Focused Fishing, a buff that increases the odds of catching rare fish. Players can trade in these fish for legendary and exotic loot, as well as upgrade materials. With a range of unique fish of different rarities, players have the opportunity to catch some truly impressive catches.

While the new fishing mechanic in Destiny 2 has been well received by many players, some fans have expressed concerns over the game's idle detection feature. A recent Reddit post has gained traction on social media, showcasing how the feature can cause issues for fishing enthusiasts who prefer to multitask while fishing. The clip depicts a player being kicked to orbit due to inactivity, resulting in the loss of all their acquired fish that had yet to be collected.

Furthermore, unlike other loot in the game, fish that have been reeled in but not picked up are not automatically delivered to the postmaster. With frequent game crashes and server outages, it's crucial for fishing fans to collect their winnings promptly. Additionally, fishing spots temporarily disappear during nearby public events, which can interrupt long fishing streaks.

The Season of the Deep in Destiny 2 has brought exciting new additions such as themed armor and weapons, seasonal activities, and a new dungeon for players to explore. However, some players have already discovered a few bugs, leading to an influx of legendary shards being collected. Destiny 2 can be played on various platforms including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
