Sea of Sharks.

I have to say that the sharks are more OP, and that anount thats spawns is overated!
And u cant even get close to the water untill u have 2-6 sharks after you!

I agree that this killing the underwater life and sneak attacks because now they are nearly not worth doing!!! And like TS Said wrecks!!! We were looting a wreck for 10-15min!!! And those [Mod Edit - Circumventing Profanity Filter] sharks!!!!!

I agree that the sharks have spawned a bit too much lately, and they have become to OP. They move faster, and attack faster.
You are unable to defeat them if there are more than 2 sharks in the water.
They also spawn to your location to fast.

It was better the way it was, it made it more enjoyable being bitten in the [Mod Edit - Profanity] by a shark hehe.

I will not quit playing this game though, that was a bit to much harsh of a statement on your side :)

Come on man, it's cool!! In that it changes the way you play the game - and it's only temporary anyway.

I've always thought the sea was a tiny bit too safe, so this adds a new element. I sailed past a hapless pirate being chased and ultimate eaten by a pack of four sharks yesterday - added some cool flavour to my voyage.

Shipwrecks aren't impossible by any means, but they're a bit more risky now, so you have to keep your wits about you.

@alatami1 Sounds a little bit overdramatic to me, but if it's making you feel that way then I guess that's not cool.

@alatami1 If you go and the W-SW side of Shark Bite Cove there is Merrik there and you can ask him what's wrong with sharks. Is part of the upcoming DLC and is nice that things mix up a bit, i'm sure they will back to the normal spawn rate leater in time.

@alatami1 The shark spawn is a bit too much, just like the environmental skeleton spawns. I just think sharks should be a one shot kill or two shot at most.
Sharks feel too tough for being sharks.

@alatami1 I get where you're coming from, but - and this is just a suggestion - you might want to try a more measured approach with the complaints, because I think overdramtic posts sometimes get overdramatic responses...

I looted 3 wrecks tonight, and sharks were not an issue despite there being more of them in the sea lately. I know why they are here and I like it.

I also like the new ominous sound that travels underwater. If you have not heard it yet, just submerge yourself, sit still and listen. You won't hear it at first, but a few seconds later you will. It's not an obvious sound, but if you listen carefully, you can make it out...almost like a hungry creature calling out from the deep. 😎

Okay, have to find that Merrick today evening for the more info and I do hope this is temporary thing with sharks...

And for that overdramatic part, yes I might be but have noticed that if you are not dramatic enough nobody cares your point of view. And when I am playing solo, five sharks around you has pretty much killed all the fun.

With group someone else can try to help you with those but it is still too much.

It doesn't need much perhaps group of three sharks might be better than these five or more...

Merrick is on the southwest side of shark bait island on the outer ring. You'll see him at a beach campfire drunk as a dog.

So what used to be Sea of Thieves is now Sea of Sharks. After yesterday patch there is huge amount of sharks everywhere you go. Even if I go to beach of outpost you get 4 to 5 sharks after you. As it now means that you cannot do shipwrecks anymore because you are eaten alive before you get back to you ship. Even if you manage to kill two sharks around you (usually only one) there is still at least three sharks to finish you.

I can understand that you want to have you players to get excited next week expansion but THIS IS NOT HOW TO DO IT. Basically flooding the seas with sharks you have managed to kill all the fun from the game.

If this is the direction you want to take your game by killing all the fun from it with idiotic patches and game design ideas then perhaps it is me to time to leave this game once and for all. Probably still hanging there over the weekend hoping that you will do something for the amount of sharks but if not then Goodbye for good...

go and play the game, and talk to the dude at the beach... then you will get an spoiler of the upcoming dlc... or read the news...

RARE! I Did a shipwreck, could not get the treasure aboard because there was too many sharks. Rare Please take a look at the ratio of sharks in the water. It is unbalanced. Before the latest patch it was ratio was low. Now, the setting is on high, and needs to be somewhere in the middle. Thank You

Sure, it might be tied to the new content, but it is still unbalanced and unrealistic in all parts of the map.

I love you people
Don't know how game mechanic work ? Then post on forum that game unfair !
a) Its patch-event for first update WITH Sharks threat
b) Sharks don't atk in SHIP HULL
c) You can throw loot from sunked ship and let it flow above, then take it from water surface

I love it. The sound that comes when they suddenly decide to swim deep is crazy... like something else has scared them off.

I don't know how game mechanics work but common sense says, if you lose other content like washed up items then add more sharks, then something is not balanced.
