Megalodons

  • Ya'harrr mateys.

    Wanted to ask/share something.
    Has anyone recently noticed/experienced glitches with the megaladons? Probably since the Christmas update or even before that they seem to be completely bugged out. ( I know they were before, but it seems to be worse now)
    Normally one would attack the ship and after 10 minutes of fighting it, it would just disappear 7/10 times.
    Yesterday- We were on a sloop doing Ashen winds boss on mermaids hideaway.
    The ship was parked just on the border where you could see the banner appearing when approaching the island.
    In the midst of fighting the Ashen boss and after returning from ferry of the damned we noticed that there is a megalodon circling our ship however there was no music and he did not attack our ship. We monitored him for approximatley 10-15 minutes probably as we were constantly getting killed by the Ashen boss.
    The ship was not getting hit by the Ashen boss special abilities and the shark was not attacking the ship this whole time. Right? I spawn back again, just to see the water covering the captains map table on a sloop. I quickly started bucketing in a poor attempt to save the ship. However even though I managed to scoop around 4-5buckets of water very quickly, the amount of water inside the ship only increased.

    So a quick summary.

    Ashen boss on mermaids hideaway - ship parked in a safe distance from the boss - Megalodon circles the ship right next to the island ( should only be in open waters)-boss/megalodon do not attack the ship-spawned on ship to see it it gathering water and sinking-could not bail the water out even though I should have been able to at least reduce the amount- we sink - gg.- I suspect the shark caused my ship to ''glitch'' and sink. - Goodbye athenas loot.

    Apologise if my post is chaotic, just wanted to give feedback that megalodons seem to be really buggy for last few updates. Thought giving details of the story would paint a better picture.

  • I've definitely had some odd experiences with Megalodons lately, and ship physics seem to be weird with anchoring too. You mentioned you were parked. It sounds possible that it caused your ship to glitch, and it would be good to open up the room for anyone else who has had strange experiences like this.

    Perhaps the two "bosses" interacted in some way too? You said neither were attacking your ship, so maybe they overlapped in some way and broke the encounter. Weird. Sorry that happened, I'd be frustrated!
