I'm surprise no one is talking about Sirens spawns

    I mean, Sharks are fine but new Sirens harrassing you even on your ship, keep respawing over and over. Though the spawn rate was broken but no, Sirens get a buff on the last patch ?!!

    Am I the only one feeling that spawn rate is too much ? Looting others ships is a nightmare at the moment. It's not rare to have like 6 Sirens + 3 Sharks harassing you, moving and bumping your boat, aiming at you, even on deck while you just want to grab your loot... it's annoying as hell.

    Even boarding in Arena feeling like PVE harrasment.

    It’s quite bizarre isn’t it. We’re happy with 4 or 5 skeletons popping up when we dig that chest, or a few rounds of skeletons when we defeat that skeleton captain but when a group of sirens, ocean crawlers or phantoms pop up we can’t cope! 😂😂

    @kobewone Ahoy matey!

    I know this is a widely discussed topic at the moment and Rare are keeping their eye on spawn rate data.

    If you do spot any bad spawn rates and have evidence of it ruining/spoiling gameplay please feel free to submit the evidence to Player Support so any issues can be ironed out.

    Prepare to be DOUBLE SURPRISED!! People are in fact already discussing the spawn rate of Sirens. And not only.

    @lizalaroo

    when a group of sirens, ocean crawlers or phantoms pop up

    Hmm, this is an impossible scenario. Sirens are an underwater encounter while the crawlers and phantoms are dry land only.

    it's not about that and getting a ticket. Yesterday we sunk a boat with many caches on. We had like 3 or 4 waves of 6 or 9 Sirens on every wave, no scepter to clear that out. We had to reset the loot twice to get everything on the boat. It was litterally a Siren fest.

    I'm not again news monsters, i'm just tired to been harrassed over and over by those sirens, it feels like a infinite circle from hell.

    @kobewone And that is totally valid feedback - and one I am very aware that Rare are trying to get to the bottom of. I know that they feel like the data suggests spawn rates match the current AI and nothing should be feeling too difficult/annoying.

    It may be a matter of time just to adjust to the new AI, but if you DO spot anything odd, you now have the right place to report it :D

    Wait, OG-Post, you didn't want ship boarding PvE and more ship oriented stuffs? I actually like the level of combat they're giving us. It's less annoying to see nothing.

    I may be here in minority but I would liek to increase or keep the siren spawns, I use them for DG training in water.
    Maybe create a Quest to fight hordes of sirens or horde of Ocean crawlers especially the electric and phantoms?

    It's excessive. A solo getting triple sharked and quadruple sirened is not balanced pve

    It's not just sirens though, all enemies spawn can sometimes be crazy. One time I had an island visit with 2 ocean crab crawlers, like at least 2 or 3 poisoned clam guys, roughly 3 or 4 skellys including a captain, and around 3 lightning eel enemies. It was one of those really small islands too. That was one party that I did not want to be invited to so I got what I came for, they spawned, and I left ASAP!

    @ldog25rams
    Now definitely, any solo under that sort of strange and unusual circumstance needs to send the conditions they found them under to Rare as a bug report.
    IF, as usually tends to be, you were engaging OR soon to engage another party, then I reckon that's a bit more natural.

    As a usually solo player myself, (because gathering a party of four for eight hours in nigh impossible for me and mine), I prefer it; to be a nice buffer. . . Helps knock the too-good sweats down a notch so I can actually contest them.

    @greengrimz it was just examples of spawn rates :)

    @kobewone I think of Sirens as a back spawn clean up crew. I love sinking a bigger ship or any ship and just dropping my sails ever so slightly, waiting for the back spawns and then I just jump into the water briefly with my pistol and shoot them like fish in a barrel.

    I also been on island after island and get attacked by ocean crawlers and phantoms at the same time. Personally, I feel it should be one enemy at a time. Once the phantoms are defeated then ocean crawlers may spawn after a significant amount of time.

    Another chance I would like to see is that sharks Can’t spawn in the middle of a siren encounter. They can spawn before or after but not when you are currently fighting especially since they bite half of your health in one attack

    So I did little experiment, and sirens spawn every 7-10 minutes on you? usually 3 of them but I seen 2 of them.
    I dont think this is excesive.
