@lafrules I agree, I love ideas like what OP Posted...

But the worst thing that a lot of players can attest when PvP is a fun fight getting ruined by a heavily favoured PvE outcome such as getting krakened, or having a skele gally spawn on top of you spamming curseball..

@burnbacon said in Whirlpools & advanced krakens:

You do know the Kraken you face is always the same, because there is only One.

Yes, there is only one kraken currently roaming the Sea of Thieves. Rare could add new krakens and other creatures by tying it to Flameheart and the Sea of the Damned. Have Flameheart open the veil and allow these creatures to come through.

@burnbacon True, she could have babies though =)

@lafrules Perhaps another pve mechanic, but let's say they're small one's that might pop up combined with a kraken at the center of it that tries to eat your ship whole, you could fight it and try to survive to get amazing loot?

@burnbacon
The sea beast film is an idea.
Take the prickleback

You do know the Kraken you face is always the same, because there is only One.

i like the idea of different kraken tactics. the whirlpools is good in concept but i can just see this being constantly in the way like many other pve mechanics. its nice sometimes to just sail quietly or do pvp without having a meg, two skelly galleons and a tempest popping up on you all at the same time.

@lysorr I like both of your ideas. They could even introduce the new krakens as part of a new adventure. They could add all sorts of new monsters and tie it to Flameheart. They could explain it lore wise by having Flameheart unleash the monsters by opening the veil.
