Sea of Thieves is giving commendations for sitting down somewhere on islands. Sea of Thieves does give you the option to fish. Also Sea of Thieves spawns skeletons and phantoms on you....
So I was fishing with a friend today, the game ruined 3 of my fishes, because there has to be random spawns of skeletons and phantoms. Always. Everywhere.
Then I wanted to get "Catching Rays" commendation. Sitting on top of an island. Close to the edge. I died consecutive times, because as I was sitting down, skeletons and phantoms had to spawn, I just wanted to wait the time out, having a video playing on my second screen, when my reaction time wasn't enough to stop the random PVE encounter I have no control over. Skeletons/Phantoms approached me, I wanted to get up, they are close enough to hit me (even twice) as I am getting up. That results in me, falling down the cliff, dying to fall damage and having to redo again/wait for a day to pass.
I really love the game, but moments like these just make me rage and hate it, ngl.
Spawnrates are broken and inconvenient

To complete this commendation, you must take in the view atop the highest peak in The Ancient Isles at noon.
The second you sit down at Noon, you win. Dont sit and wait...and it doesnt take very long.

Fish from your Ship.....no skelly or Phant spawn on you.
Think outside the Box. You got the Tools and the know how. Its not a Bug or game problem.
but moments like these just make me rage and hate i
Like said, not game fault. Think outside the box
@burnbacon for the first time i agree with you!
i have reached the max level of hunters just fishing by my ship, exept for the fishes from lake, for them i have set sails for the SoG, there are a lot of lakes where you with a storage crate can get all the fish that you want.
the game have added this spawns to not annoy people without anything to do, you have not seen the game before that and thrust me, it was horrendously boring, so don't complain about something that if it didn't exist would make you complain even more
@reverend-toast said in Spawnrates are broken and inconvenient:
Fish off your ship by the shore. Won't be able to catch pondies, but there are plenty of places (Like Mermaid's Hideaway) where you can find a spot where skeletons won't bother you too much.
When the skellies spawn on Mermaid, leave one sword carrier alive, no more will spawn and I'm pretty sure it keeps phantoms from spawning too.

Or an inactive fort with a pond (Hidden Spring Keep) - no skeletons at all.
Yeah as @Lem0n-Curry @BurnBacon and @PithyRumble have said: The game is about using the tools you have available to make the best of things.
Once you learn how the emergent threats, work, you can avoid them... find the rocks they can't climb, work out locations that are safe from Line of Sight, realize if you are sailing on a galleon you can safely fish from the back deck to avoid being hit by lightning, etc.
Now SHARK spawning IS way too high, and hopefully will be fixed soon 😛
