The Megalodon should stay in as a new Raid

    It's already proven to bring people together. It's amazing fighting it in groups. I'd love to see it kept in but as some kind of Raid that randomly appears on the map every few hours rather than just a random encounter like the Kraken.

    Maybe every few hours there's a point on the map where it can be summoned, so you must go there, play Merrick's shanty to summon it, beat it and you get some major loot that floats up. 5 people required to summon it should be kept in.

    Obviously the issue here would be the complete war that would happen between ships once the creature is defeated, but maybe there's a way it could work and rewards are split.

    @tedakin Ahoy matey!

    The good news is Meg IS here to stay! The questline may disappear but the hungering one will always be in the waters ready to strike unsuspecting crews!

    @musicmee Oh totally, I just think it works better as Raid sorta like it feels now rather than just another random encounter. it's extremely hard to beat and intense.

    @tedakin if it stays as a random encounter, they should at least nerf the Megs health. To make it at least fair and keep it dangerous.

    I don't know how it stays in, but I think after the two weeks all of us get the new shanty and 5 people can summon it again at the same spot...hopefully with some kind of reward after beating it...

    Has it been confirmed to be coming in as and event type thing similar to the kraken.? After 2 weeks that is.. or is that just what people are guessing

    @esjayel It has been confirmed that the Megladon IS staying in the game... but how to activate it once The Hungering Deep is over, nobody knows...

    @musicmee alright thanks that clears things up!
    Really hoping they do something like that, cause otherwise we’ll never see the meg again because there’d be no real incentive to summon him

    Even the kraken we don't bother with now

    Gather a few planks
    Break out the pistols and eye of reach.
    Fight him off with those

    Sail on

    No need to use cannonballs and just an annoying distraction

    And what is the special thing in these 2 weeks? Is it the questline, or if you kill him in these 2 weeks you get an achievement or something?

    good point, after 2 weeks will the megalodon sail the waters or always be in the same spot?

    @ktingaling You get an exclusive figurehead for your boat. and the quest gives you items like a tattoo, drum and speaking trumpet that I think are exclusive also. You'll have to buy those later if you don't get them during the 2 weeks.

    I definitely want it kept in like it is now, but moved around in random spots and done as a raid. And you should still have to work with other crews to summon it and return to Merrick for the gold (so that you can't be betrayed since it's supposed to be a friendly event).
