Hunters call Voyage | Increase hunters call level + Distinction

    My suggestion is to add a Hunter's call voyage to track down megalodons. This will allow players to actively find megalodons instead of getting a random encounter. A random megalodon will be spawned with this voyage using the existing spawn rates.

    I, as well as many others, have over 3000 hours in the game and have never got 1 shrouded ghost to spawn. There is a commendation for finding 5 shrouded ghost - this hasn't happened in the 5 years I've been playing, it's not going to happen in the next 5 years.. At least if there is a voyage then I can spend some time actively trying to find, and hunt the shrouded ghost. It's a perfect fit for the game, and for Hunter's Call and a chance to increase the level cap/add some new rings, emissary, etc.

    The voyage can perhaps include talking to a few NPCs on a couple different islands and through questioning them- asking if they've seen a big shark, they describe and help you pinpoint exactly which way the meg was heading, you sail over there, the meg spawns, you fight the big shark, raise your emissary grade, raise your hunter's call level/distinction, unlock some new cosmetics for ledger, can finally try to get shrouded ghost, and everyone's happy.

    Hunter's call hasn't seen any love in 5 years and here's the chance.

    The spawn rate of the shrouded ghost was never intended to be as rare as it is.

    It was a bug they left in the game and it became a meme.

    If they haven’t increased the odds of one spawning yet they should.

    It’s beyond ridiculous.

    I’ve hit two grand jackpots on 88 fortunes casino style mobile app in less than one month and no shroudeds in 5k hours.

    That does not compute.

    @faintnote798922 Shrouded Ghost was always intended as being Rare.

    Much like the tales of the Great White Whale.

    It was NEVER intended to be as rare as it is.

    That’s a fact.

    You can calculate what the odds should be based on how many the game asks you to defeat to complete the commendation compared to the other megs.

    @faintnote798922 I would love to see the sources for your 'fact'.

    I could also calculate the odds of me winning the Lottery and assume if I play the Lottery every day for X amount of time I would be guaranteed a jackpot.

    That is not how odds work.

    So many forget that commendations were designed to be capable of being completed fully.

    It’s kinda weird.

    @look-behind-you

    If someone plays the game for 5k hours and hasn’t ever had a single shrouded ghost spawn but the game calls for 5 to be defeated to complete the commendation, does that seem right to you?

    Of course it does your A Three-Headed Monkey.

    @faintnote798922 Just how odds and RNG work 🤷‍♂️

    I know people that have played for 11k+ hours and never seen one....I also know on unfortunate soul that has over 11k+ hours, never seen one but when they were on a throwaway account for a community challenge....managed to see one.

    Again, RNG and odds.

    What about BoxyFresh and his 10,000+ hours and ZERO shrouded ghosts.

    Does that seem right to you @Look-Behind-You?

    Of course it does Rare cannot be wrong in your eyes.

    @look-behind-you

    And guess what?

    It’s a bug that was left in the game. It was never intended to be this hard to get.

    But again Rare is infallible to you that’s why you work for free for them everyday.

    @faintnote798922 Oddly, RNG and Odds don't take into account who you are.

    Playing more often will obviously increase your CHANCES but it all comes down to being in the right place at the right time.

    Even then it is still only a chance and not a guarantee 🤷‍♂️.

    It’s literally pointless discussing anything with you.

    You don’t get it dude.

    The spawn rate is set incorrectly. They should fix it.

    The shrouded ghost is meant to be rare not impossible.

    @faintnote798922 Same as with you.

    It's not 'impossible' just improbable.

    It is supposed to be rare and not something folks can just knock out.

  • FaintNote798922

    @look-behind-you

    Hahahahah thousands of hours, zero shroudeds and you call it just improbable.

    Again pointless to talk to you.

    Rare cannot be wrong in your mind.

    You will justify everything they do no matter what.

    @faintnote798922 and not understanding the difference between impossible and improbable also makes it a pointless conversation.

    For the record I have been critical of Sea of Thieves numerous times, I just listen to logic instead of making up 'facts'.

    Either way, the Thread is being derailed now so will, leave it at that.

    Odd. I was unaware you knew better than the developers what is and is not intended.
    Oh wait; you are just claiming whatever you want is 'a fact' so you can be angry.

    Do you have any sources for it being a bug?
    Or are you just assuming you know better than everyone else?

    @look-behind-you

    I didn’t make up anything.

    You just assume it’s intended to be extremely rare when in reality it was just meant to be somewhat rare like 5 or 10 times as rare not 1000 or 10000 times as rare as the other megs.

    Ask a dev that knows you might learn something new.

    How do you know that though? Where is your source that says the Shrouded Ghost was meant to be 5-10 times rarer than the average Meg?

    I know Look is a mod. I'm asking why you're claiming to know better than the devs, or know what the devs intended.
    Because you have yet to cite a single source for your wild claims.

    The spawn rate was always supposed to be so low that most people would never see it. The commendation is not there for EVERYONE to get it, its there so anyone who does get it has proof and a reward for it. Its supposed to be so rare that it would be like a legend on the seas.

    There is no proof of your original claim that "it was never intended to be so rare", that is entirely made up, no one at rare has ever said it was supposed to be more common. Unless the devs them selves directly state that it was never intended to be so rare, that is nothing but baseless speculation.

    @guildar9194

    I don’t need to cite any sources it’s very obvious the shrouded is intended to spawn more often than it does.

    They could have already upped the spawn rate or they could have left it alone, we don’t know.

    I’ve complained about it before though and I will never stop until it gets fixed because it’s absolutely ridiculous.

    As far as the extremely rare spawn rate being a bug I heard it come from out of a devs mouth not sure if it was a podcast or on Twitter or where it was but somewhere a Rare dev said it was a bug they left in because it became a meme.

    Until you list this source; It does not exist, and you're making baseless assumptions while pretending you know what the devs do and don't intend.

    Way to dodge providing proof.
    You made the claims; Now provide proof. And 'Because I think I'm smarter than everyone' is not proof.

    On topic: Hunter's call does need some love, and some Voyages. It's so slow to level up. x.x

    Yep let’s add content to the game that cannot be completed within tens of thousands of hours.

    [mod removed]

    Condescension will not get you very far here, so if you cant keep respectful, then we wont have much to talk about.

    The shrouded ghost is no more content than literally any other meg. The only "proof" you have provided is making up a totally random statistic and have provided no source when asked for one beyond "the commendation exists". Commendations are supposed to be a type of in game achievement, and there are thousands of games with achievements that are supposed to be so rare that most players wont ever complete them.

    The only proof needed to disprove your point is that the spawn rate of it has always been so low, and the devs chose not to change it, nor have they said it was a mistake. Saying it was a mistake is baselessly assuming their intentions.

    Unless you can provide any actual proof, such as anyone who works at rare saying that the spawn rate was not intended. Then your claims have no substance to them and would be as valid as me saying "Rare didnt actually intend to add it! The shrouded ghost was a meg with broken textures but they decided to just add a commendation last minute!", that being, unproven and baseless.
