Shrouded Ghost Vanished Mid-Fight

    A ship we were chasing last night had the ghost spawn on them and it bugged out hard. As it spawned, we stopped our ship to fight it, and they continued to sail away. The ghost would leave them and circle us instead, but every time they sailed just about out of our render distance, the ghost would despawn, and vanish.

    Amazingly, we caught up with them twice, barely enough to see that the ghost had indeed respawned on them both times. Once again, we slowed down as they passed islands, and the ghost turned it’s attention to us again. After circling us, it went for a charge on us, and, like the last time, it faded away mid charge and despawned.

    The third and final time, we chased the galleon up north, and they sunk to the meg west of the coral fortress. We headed to where they sunk and the ghost was still in the area. We got maybe 15 cannons into it, before it charged us and despawned the third and final time.

    So yeah. Fought the shrouded ghost 3 times only for it to despawn every single time. Attached are the clips of our confusion, links are to the messages sent in SoT official discord.

    Sounds like one for support.

    I was posting that this sort of thing would happen when they first changed how other people's megs react to different boats.

    My personal opinion is I don't even think it's a bug I think it's yet another nerf implemented in pve design.

    As soon as the change happened I knew this would happen quite often. Megs are common during encounters and without cooperation it's almost a guaranteed shrouded despawn with hostile boats around, or just uncooperative/inexperienced scenarios in general.

    People have been popping/spotting shrouded ghosts right out the gate with season 11. I hope they didn't bump up the rate for marketing purposes but with megs being a bit more common it could just be more activity and less inconsistent meg spawning.

    Yeah agree with these points, especially with the bumped meg/skel ship spawn rates. When everything's bumped up the shrouded (being so rare) will probably seem to "feel" the most inflated.

    Yeah, wasn't your meg...

    @gravesilence272 Regardless of “whose meg” it is, it changed target to attack us several times and should have become “our meg” as the ship it was spawned on continously left the area and left it to us. It despawned repeatedly in the middle of us fighting it because the other ship kept running away whenever we stopped to attack the meg. This isn’t our fault and we shouldn’t have to sit here and rue the day the shrouded ghost despawned from us in the midst of battle due to buggy AI that never used to work that way until it mattered most.

    That's actually so disheartening, I really hope something is done about that because that's so unfair to you guys!
