please fix the bug where i´m stuck in the fishing animation, its really annoying and i can sometimes not cast any spells because it says i must be standing to do it. Here is a screenshot where i am in wsg but still have the fishing animation even after i equipped my weapons. http://i.imgur.com/SkQccWH.jpg

Greeting,

relog to another character and then back, that should fix it.

Just wanna piggy back on this. Any chance we'll get a fully functioning fishing animation for when fish are hooked? As it is, it's very easy to miss and basically requires laser focus on the bobber, which is painful to say the least.

This is a known issue they will not be fixing. Interferes with gameplay when you get ganked while fishing and can't properly fight back.

5 years in development...

You are very unlucky if it happens to you EVERY time. In my experience, it happens once every 20-30 fishing tries and often goes away on its own after I continue fishing. If you really do experience each and every time you fish, please post this in the Bug tracker with the additional information.

There was an partial fix for it already because this bug was very common at launch but is now quite rare.

For now, to make it go away, re-equip your rod and false cast, then walk out of it; re-equip your weapon.

true dat. Between this and masturbating, I'm going blind.
