would it be possible to make the appearance of megalodon more present?
it is unfortunate to find that the kraken pops more often than the megalodon currently.
Meg...
@scheneighnay Saw a video of a Kraken spawning inside smugglers bay, was thinking if anyone has tried to get invaded from there and plant kegs all around the entry point

I got krakened at point zero before, but inside smuggler's bay is even more ridiculous.

I hope posting reddit link is not against the rules here (My pirate has an eye patch and the other eye cant read)
P.S. Apologies OP for off topic, I love fighting megs and wish the encounters were more often as well.
@zig-zag-ltu lol that's a nice one!
I had a meg spawn on me while docked at Daggertooth. I was sitting there for about 30 minutes just chatting with my crewmate and we were in that alcove of the dock closer to the sand(like how a sloop spawns for Daggertooth) and suddenly we heard meg music. It kept trying to bite us, but got the dock instead. Eventually it ended up ON TOP of the rock next to the castaway tent and we killed it with our guns. Then the loot fell from the sky LOL!
I wish I had it uploaded someone cool like you, I did clip it, but it is just saved in my captures on xbox.
As for the meg spawns now, there's so much inside the normal part of the map that they rarely spawn. What I do is every hour or maybe 1.5 hours I sail into open water close to the edges and usually get a spawn pretty quickly. Finding one between islands is a lot harder as they need X amount of space to spawn and with all the new rocks, sea forts, shipwrecks, etc... they don't have many spawn locations currently.
unfortunately since the last updates the megalodon is well on the way to extinction.
example: today I spent 4 hours in the game,
I went along all the edges of the map,
out apart from the port islands / seapost either the empty boxes in search of megalodon.4H has passed and none meg did not arise.
and yet as said above 4 hours outside of all civilization,
there was a time when the megs heshad about ten per session,
today it's relatively Nothingness... :/If 9 is a quality of life season they should bump the megs up as a part of it
people need it for their commendations and it is devastating to nerf meg spawns for people without the shrouded
a few years ago we had them all over the place, that's good for shrouded chances
depending how someone plays they might only see 1 or 2 a week now which is going from low chance to no hope in the world of shrouded hunting
alliance server meg hunters shouldn't be the only ones enjoying great SoT content. They make things interesting and they are always awesome to see around imo
I'd make a few changes to make it more inconvenient for meg cheesing on alliance servers as well while supporting organic meg hunting.
@crowedhunter said in Meg...:
I saw 4 megs in 6 hours today. Y'all are tripping.
But yeah, we need more megs pls. I got copped out of my one and only shrouded ghost by some galleon of pure vitriol.
megs are for whatever reason becoming more and more random as time goes on
for a long time it was a pretty standard "wait this amount of time or that amount of time" but now the chances are still lower but they are randomly popping up outside of that "wait this amount of time"
it's not reliable or efficient at all but some servers do throw a meg at people 10-15 minutes after spawning in, there are some servers where someone can possibly get 1-2-3 megs fairly close together. Not dependable enough to justify pursuing it regularly but it's a newer development in meg hunting
I'm curious if they have intentionally tinkered over the recent months or if things just change over time unintentionally because of the updates and changes to servers.
A lot of their nerfing of pve spawns has been fairly silent over the years (not in the patch notes) so it's difficult to tell what is being changed and what changes as an unintentional effect.
And ancient terrors? I haven't seen one since the summer. It's like a shrouded haha
In general I get 1 for every 4 hungering 3 queen and 2 shadowmaw
obviously sometimes I get 4 ancient in a row and sometimes I don't see one for a week but overall that's what it works out to
point being that in this meg economy people are gonna be hurting to see the ancients unless they are specifically hunting megs as a major part of their session like I do
