What was THAT sound?! First Real Kraken Tease?

Great video Jay! Definitely thought provoking...

@armament-jay Was it the Kraken or was it my belly? I get a might peckish round 3🦑

Nice find! I can't wait to actually see and experience the Kraken for myself. Hopefully I will not be carrying any expensive chests then.

I always just thought it was whales.

I find it hard to believe some of you only heard this sound a couple times. Every time I played I heard it more times than I count. It wasn't uncommon at all. Every sessions it was their numerous times. If you played more than 1-hour at time you had to have heard it. I'm not sure how long the day night cycle is, but I'm very certain it's less than 1-hour in game time.

If you played 10+ hours you had to have heard it at least 10 times if not a lot more. What's happening here is the first several times you should have heard it you missed because you were distracted or focused on something else. It's an easy sound to miss if you're in combat. It's an easy sound to miss if you have your music blasting. It's an easy sound to miss if you chatting with your friends. After you finally became aware of the sound the odds are you would hear it more often because you're now familiar with the sound and on the lockout for it. There are still good chances distractions will cause you to miss it.

It's the cry of the kraken, which hasn't made any kills at night, that's why it cries at dawn ;)

heard the sound 20+ times tho (about 50 hours of closed beta gameplay). still every time I stood still and looked around though

Oh man I cannot wait!

I've heard it many times, but never timed it as you did. Are you sure the noises occur at the same time every night? Or was that just the one night you tested it? @Armament-Jay

@all-the-rage
Yep! From what I remember/timed myself - the average day & night cycle is roughly 24 minutes. Just playing the game for a tiny bit will grant players the weird noises at least once!

dude I'm so glad you timed the day/night cycle, because this is gonna make the game so mcuh easier for me at launch. I'm talking ofcourse about the time-based quests, which makes you go to or wait at a certain location till the quest occurs at X:XX am/pm (ingame time). So realising the day/night cycle is about 24 mins, when I miss a quest due to not being on time, I can turn on a timer set at about 24 mins ^^ thx

Sounds like whales to me. Not like a strange creature.

There you go 8 hours of whales sounds xD

i look forward to hunting these Kraken!

For some time I thought these were whales. But then I noticed a typical "roar" which could never be a whale! Kraken? Perhaps :)

@armament-jay Kraken? Sounds like a whale?
