Improvement About How the Meg Spawn

  • Ahoy Pirates!

    I've accomplished all commendations in the game except ONE (kill 5 shrouded ghost , I got only 1 so far)

    I have hunted and defeated a lot of megalodons (approximate 1200 and maybe 500 more were not defeated) and I've realized how hard it is to finish this game at 100%. The reason why is because megs can't be farmed...
    Right now, Megs spawn during a cycle (and you need to be in the deep sea)! If you are not on the good cycle you won't have a meg.
    So how is it possible to finish this game if the only commendation that is missing for some completionists is not farmable? It's based only a random spawn and random color!
    I guess the Shrouded Ghost spawn rate is close to 0.25 % (or maybe less).

    Here some statistics about my Meg Hunt :
    Done on Ally :

    My latest month Meg Spawn :

    So Rare, please tell us. How many meg shall I kill? Or maybe, Rare could just change how the megs spawn?

    There are clouds for Skeleton Forts, Skeleton Fleets, Flameheart Fleets etc... Why couldn't we have a cloud with an event of Megalodons like this one?

    I know that it's hard to develop this kind of feature cause you will need to change how the meg, agressive skelly ship (sloop and galion pve) and kraken spawn...
    But you must realize that your game can't be finished at 100%! As we can't farm Megalodons

    If we had this kind of Meg event in the sky , people could farm it...

    How it could work:

    • This event would appear like 2/3 times per hour (maybe more), but this event could despawn quickly if nobody did it (actual TTL for a fort is 30-35 min, for the meg it could be like 10/15 min)
    • If a ship did not kill it (sink or meg disappeared due to island, rocks etc...) the event will be finished.
    • Don't change the actual spawn rate (for each colors)

    If other players have better ideas in order to change how the Megs spawn, please don't hesitate to comment the post so we can discuss about it.

  • My megs statistics :

  • +1000 so frustrating not being able to finish a great game !!! It demoralizes more than anything else, I would like to be able to play the game without thinking of the Shrouded Ghost! I just miss that too!

  • It's not about farming... Just give it time - the shrouded ghost will appear when you least expect it.

  • the game is not meant to be 100% done but i agree that shrouded ghost is way to rare so i think perhapes thay shude take it up to 2% and not 0.05% or somthing

  • You may want to be careful when issuing a complaint that you can’t find 5 Shrouded Ghosts, when some players (myself included) haven’t found 1 yet. This is one of the most frustrating aspects of the game. I wish they hadn’t tied a commendation to something you can only achieve via luck. I haven’t kept statistics of my Meg kills, suffice to say it’s A LOT. I’ve definitely killed the Ancient Terror more than 80 times, as I’ve finished my commendation, and helped other crew mates finish theirs. If there was some way to spawn a Meg (regardless of type) this would be a much less frustrating commendation. Even if Rare developed something like throwing a bucket of fish into the water significantly increases a Meg spawn would be an adequate addition.

    Until then, I will keep playing and keep clinging to the diminishing hope that it will happen some day

  • @lukitch59 The Shrouded Ghost is a lie, Rare Agent. Throw up your hands and keep them where I can see them. You’re going to be spending a long time in prison.

  • You will get it eventually tho, just keep at it!

  • @lukitch59

    You claim you saw and killed this mythical creature?

    Everyone knows the Shrouded one does not exist and is just a old pirate tale.

  • @cotu42 Indeed, he is a Rare Agent here to spread the lies about the so called, ‘Shredded Goat.’ Everyone knows it doesn’t exist and those who do are Rare Spies.

  • Awww poor guy, missing one single commendation.

    And here I am purchasing 2 copies of the game for 2 significantly younger pirates who can't afford to pay their gamepass anymore.

    Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..... Soooo saaaad. So, so, so sad..... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..... Poor little fellow.... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..... So sad.
