I have a request for a change to the new megladon fights. I think the new megladon fight are really fun, but have one big issue. That it can only agro on one ship. When you have the megladon on you it will alwase attack you, even if there are other players around. This means that when you fight the meg, which is hard enough, other players can attack you without worrying about being atacked by the meg. This makes it a very unfair fight and really anoying to deal with.. It has also happend me that when i invade with hourglass, that i spawn on the meg and agro it. This means i have a Meg and the other playe on me which is just unfiar. I would like to see the meg aro all of the ships nearby so that all players around has do deal with being bitten, to make it more fair.
Change to the Ancient Megladong fights
I like it because it's one of the few things left in the game that can be used to an underdog's advantage. Most things have been nerfed so much that they aren't viable strats anymore against decent crews and bigger crews.
I've sank a bunch of ships/bigger crews this season by using ancient megs for the assist.
They also work really really well for the revenge sink. Puts pressure on them and then there are a lot of opportunities to get them to sink as well.
Most if not all of my challenging wins in random pvp this season have been from using the different behaviors of ancient megs to my advantage and then just harpoon/blowpipin' my way to some form of a victory or revenge sink.
These days it's one of the dwindling amount of ways to solo vs a coordinated brig or gally crew, even a solid hg duo can be sank by working in ancient meg damage.
Kegs are pretty pointless these days against a solid crew, stationary plays are fun but far less effective these days against a decent crew, HG led crews to improve significantly at naval and overall accuracy. Spammy big boat play is rewarded more now than ever at the casual level. Ancient megs are the only things that do enough damage to make a difference in an adventure fight for a solo/underdog crew.
We had a hilarious encounter last night due to the meg. Was attacking 2 allied sloops, when their meg swam by us, and flipped our boat upside down, throwing us off, we couldn't get a merm or get back fast enough, and we sank. We were all in the water laughing so hard at what we all saw, they invited us onto their boat, and well, we each added each other as friends. Can't wait to sail with them! Thanks Meg!

@d3adst1ck LOL, didn't catch that until after your post. This may be the name of my next ship.
If I ever considered creating a second account and a character - this is it.
Captain Megladong, Legendary Hunter of The Hungering One. Sailing on a ship called Krokan.
That should confuse people.
On the topic, nothing else to add except that I don't mind how it is at the moment. Sometimes works in your favor, sometimes not. Luck of the draw.
Came out barely a month ago and people are already asking for changes 😂
Seriously though I’m ok with it only agroing on one ship. When it’s attacking me I just run away to a different spot than the Meg. If it happens in hg that does kinda suck but that does seem like a rare chance. (Correct me if I’m wrong about the rarity of this happening)
