Skill Based Megalodon Targeting

  • Starting nearly a year ago, over a sample set of hundreds of non-hour glass pvp encounters that include emergent threats, my crew has been the only target of the emergent threat 90% of the time. Especially in the event of a natural spawn megalodon, where its closer to 99%.

    The likelihood of these encounters locking on to us and only us as a matter of "chance" or "just bad luck" is statistically impossible. Clearly the AI is targeting more seasoned players. I have lost count of how many times an emergent threat not only, only targets my crew, but also de-spawns every single time we inevitably sink.

    I don't know what I've done to you lot at Rare but please call your pets off of me and my crew or at least make them attack the other crews sometimes. I'd even settle for being the target 70% of the time. I've bought license to the game multiple times on multiple platforms and spend generously in the emporium. What more penance must I offer to atone for my sins??

    At first I thought perhaps I was being cynical, and then the whole crew started to notice the severe imbalance. Anyone else running into this?

  • Funny. I’ve had hourglass fights and skeleton ships or megs attach the enemy ship and not me. They sink and I get the win, but I feel sad now because I didn’t earn the win.

    Hmmmm. Happens but it open world and good thing it happens or the pvp would be stale.
