2 new Megalodons, a tool, a Region of Map

    The Megalodons:
    The Sirens' Bane
    A megalodon that is attracted to music. It only has a chance of spawning if one or more members of a crew is playing a shanty while sailing.

    The Fishmonger:
    A megalodon that is attracted to boats that are loaded up with raw fish. Eg. will only attack boats with 15+ raw fish.

    Opnion: I like the idea of megs not strictly being a random incounter, but perhaps in part, being something lureable.

    Tool (on the item wheel):
    Hand-held Fireworks:
    Non-damaging fireworks that can be fired into the sky (perhaps in diffrent colors).

    Opnion: I've been in alliances before with no way of sending a message to the other boat upon splitting up a little bit. Sometimes close enough to come help, but out of ear shot. Also, sometimes I see a boat on the horizon, and I want to alert them of my presance (without scaring them with cannons). Also also, fireworks would be fun to celebrate things with.

    Region of map:
    The Frozen Brink:
    A section of snow and ice. Instead of stationary rocks to run into like in the wilds, icebergs float, and slowly move around. The water could be too cold to swim in for long. There could also be patches of ice that have to be broken through by the ship.

    I like the concept of the fireworks - if they ever add evil mermaids, I'd like to be able to acquire their smoky wand, as that'd be useful for signalling people.

    I dig the fireworks idea and the Meg map I get the shrouded ghost should be rare but how are we supposed to find 10 if less than 1% of players ever have a encounter?

    I proposed changes in the current megalodons, adding new attacks and behaviors: https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/92838/rework-on-megalodon

    I think sea creatures should look more like animals

    The Megalodons:

    Not bad ideas, but we've already seen Megalodons; there are other things the devs could better but their time towards. Megs happen often enough that I don't think there's a real need for lurable ones.

    Tool (on the item wheel):
    Hand-held fireworks:

    I love the idea of flares/fireworks, but only as a fixture for the crow's nest or on large islands to enable rudimentary extreme-range communication. I'm not so keen on there being a handheld version though.

    Region of map:
    The Frozen Brink:

    This is a genuinely awesome idea, but it's totally up to the devs because this could be way harder to implement than any of us think, particularly in server resources requirements, which is already a bit of an issue
