I've been playing the game for about a week and think it's great, but me and my friends are constantly getting attacked by PVE enemies during PVP. I understand its part of the game but its getting ridiculous. We were attacked by both a Kraken and a Megalodon during a fight against 3 other players. Once we escaped the Kraken (after nearly getting sunk) we managed to run away from the Megalodon and eventually sink the players we were fighting. We had a legendary chest and some other loot on board so we were relieved.
On our way to the Outpost, we encounter the same players again (Which is another post entirely on why having people spawn, die, spawn, die and keep tracking you is annoying instead of them getting put on another server or something when they sink) we attempt to fight back but then are suddenly attacked by a skeleton pirate ship (a random one not near a battle zone) and another Megalodon. At this point, we didn't have the supplies to keep fighting and sunk. The fact that our enemies were never targeted makes it even more infuriating since they stole our supplies and sold it.
This is the worst example but its been happening so often it caused us all to just quit the last time it happened. We like the game so far but if the PVE AI and spawn rates aren't changed in some way we'll probably just get fed up eventually and stop playing. Open PVP is one of the best aspects but it isn't fun or fair when our galleon is constantly under attack by random AI during a fight with another player.
I was also recording the entire time so we have the Kraken and Megalodon double team during a PVP fight on video.
