You're never guaranteed treasure from them and they get in the way when digging up treasure and sorts. The skellies are bad enough but putting all these annoying things all over the place makes getting buried loot frustrating. Please consider removing or reducing the amount of ocean crawlers there are, it would greatly enhance the experience and game play. this is just a thing to consider in the future.
TAKE out the ocean crawlers PLEASE
Imagine after all these years of people asking for more enemy types, we finally get them and the same people complain about how annoying they are.
Here’s a thought, just kill them. Their spawn rates have been nerfed crazy hard and you hardly find more than two at once if you’re solo.
I’m very grateful for the new enemy types because that means I can’t just spam my sword and I actually have to use my brain to fight them.

I hate Ocean Crawlers and Phantoms.
If they got removed I would throw a party.
Just need spawn rates or make it just skeletons
I miss simpler times :'(
Can't handle pve?? Such a big bad player...
I typically get 3 or 4 on spawns soloing tho.
Anyway- ocean crawlers are fine. Phantoms are fine. EoR skellies should make a full comeback (complete with op original aiming) and sirens should spawn more often in random encounters lol.
@pithyrumble the worst part about the EOR skellys was the knock back. Now that that’s gone (and as long as they don’t appear in large numbers) I’d be happy to see them back.
Also yeah, might’ve fudge the numbers on how many spawn on ya.
Yikes! I'm strongly against this. Ocean Crawlers are great (as are the Phantoms, though not the focus of this). And I say this as a primarily solo player. The spawn rates themselves also seem fine to me. Sometimes islands are completely devoid of stuff, sometimes there is a seemingly neverending amount of them. Nice diversity there.
Firmly against this.

They need to address spawns across the board.
Man, do I miss where there were actually quiet times on an island with nothing around you.
So much of this. Every island feels like constant chaos, especially small islands. Can't even take in the beauty or explore anymore.

Yup, that's what I'm talking about, especially on Legend voyages.

I love when we're doing and order of souls voyage, and the last round is 4 captains, 4 shadow (ones a Keg skelly), and 4 Ocean crawlers! Really i thought that fight was a bit much Rare! Who needs PvP when you have all these threats right?
They fight each other...get distance between you and them and watch the fight...
I really don't see a need to nerf them because they are so easy to kill, easier than skellies due to the buffs skellies get from voyage difficulty levels. If you don't like them on a small island while doing a HIGH LEVEL voyage then shoot yourself out of your cannon away from the island and take the merm. They won't be there when you respawn and a different foe will be there (skellies or phantoms to take their place on the respawns) . This is how I like to farm the gems as fast as possible on a small island.
@noah4065 said in TAKE out the ocean crawlers PLEASE:
You can easily kill them? :D
All day long.
Eel crawler is one shot while he is charging then 2 sword swipe follow up while stunned.
Clam shell crawler one shot and 5 sword swipes. Minimal damage to you while he is poison breathing you.
Crab crawler is 5 shots or 4 sword lunges. Sword lunge and then jump back out of range for the slam then do again or rush in with 3 strikes and fall back and repeat.They are easier because they don't eat bananas and regen health.

And if you have a trident it's even easier...we get flooded with those anyway (ok, not that much as it use to be)

Thanks! I never noticed that...you still get renown if they kill each other though?
@mintharp184509 said in TAKE out the ocean crawlers PLEASE:
Honestly I would take ocean crawlers over 3-4 pistol skeletons any day of the week.
The clam’s green poison is really weak. The eels have low health and are a source for the white flame of fate. The crabs are a bit tanky but hard to miss.
They drop siren gems which are A tier loot.
The PvE spawns are still not entirely fixed. I still encounter new enemies spawning the second I vanquish the current PvE enemies at times.
You're right about the skellies with guns (They never seem to miss (if your not behind a rock), but the ocean baddies just seem to be a nuisance and pop up at the least convenient times.

Not sure about that, maybe you have to hit them once or so...you have to try...
I know you don’t get ancient coins, if you don’t get the last hit on an ancient skellie
First off, Thank you for your thoughts and comments. I would like to mention that I'm not saying we should get rid of all of them, but at least greatly reduce the popularity of their spawning. as many of you said to just kill them, I agree with you, but when your being attacked from all sides by 5 ocean crawlers 5 phantoms and 5 skellies at once? that's a quick way to die and lose your loot. to me their not realistic to a pirate game, I feel they should just reduce them. Also I would like to say that I love phantoms because they feel more like enemies and less like nuisances, thanks to SoT for that. once again, thank you for your comments and ideas.

5 chowderheads, 5 goopyheads, and 5 boneheads?
Why fight them at all? Let them wipe each other out, then mop up the leftovers. Easy! 😉

The edge they were going for... I believe most of the people agreeing with op are PvP or balanced players.

No worse than dealing with a fort or some of the tall tales IMO.
that's a quick way to die and lose your loot.
Eh? I've never lost my loot. Respawn on the boat and get back to the island.
to me their not realistic to a pirate game, I feel they should just reduce them.
SoT isn't meant to be realistic in any real fashion, otherwise I doubt the Pirate's Life TT would have ever been made.
They are not that annoying IMO, and if any adjustment is made, make them (and skellies come to that) less predictable when they spawn. As is, if I'm digging up anything, I'll dig once, then immediately stop and look for mobs. Making them randomly not spawn would add more tension and potential excitement when they do. :)
@baconavenger764
when I said I lose loot I mean when you drop stuff in bushes or plants on a large Island, it doesn't happen very offen but it has happened before.
