I would like to propose a change to the Megs. I like the direction Rare has gone with them, and I was excited when they announced different types. Then I saw that they were all essentially the same Meg just with a different color pallet. I was hoping for different attributes, or something. I propose that you find the different types of Megs in specific conditions.
The Hungering One: Still a random encounter
The Crescent Queen: Spawns around active forts
The Ancient Terror: Can only be found in storms, and you have to stay in the storm or it will despawn.
The Shadowmaw: Can only be found in the Devils Roar around an erupting volcano.
The Shrouded Ghost: Found in the fog
Now these are just suggestions, but I like them because not only does it help with commendation hunters, it gives you a reason to go into the fog, or fight the storm, etc. Also my problem with the Shrouded Ghost. I don't mind rare finds. I found a box of Wondrous Secrets, and I lost my mind. But a big reason for that is because it is worth 25K. The Shrouded Ghost is rare simply for the sake of being rare. You still get the same kind of loot from it than you would with any other Meg and that isn't really appealing. Also made worse that you have to kill 50 for the legendary commendation. Now I know this has flaws, and not everyone wants it, but I figured I'd throw my suggestion out there. Let me know what y'all think, ideas to change the Megs, or if you like them how they are.
Meg Changes
@lldeadcenterll The Shrouded Ghost is a myth hahahaha! I think you are right on this. I can totally see me just getting away from another ship then getting jumped by a skelly ship only after having all my resources eaten up fighting these does the White myth spawn. A once in a lifetime spawn wasted because I've had the wazzoo beaten out of me for a solid hour prior to her spawn. I'm pretty sure that's my luck.

I've seen the Shrouded Ghost after digging up a athena chest and sailing to a outpost to sell it when i thick fog had just spawned on us but we didn't know what it was and our mindset was too focused on selling the athena. (BAD MISTAKE FOR NOT KILLING IT)
Anyways there is a spawn chance of certain megs spawning at different areas like the ancient terror has a higher spawn rate spawning in the ancient isles area, the shrouded ghost is still a very low spawn chance of 3% in the fog even when you have loot on board your ship.
As for the shadowmaw and crested queen and the hungering one i haven't really test any theories but they all spawn at different locations but depending on the area increases that certain meg spawning if that makes sense?
