@Deckhands

@eelporridge I whould like to see the common ones less but I only saw the white one once and was getting chased so I chouldnt kill it But if that happens I want a buff for it it’s to easy to escape/kill it for it drops

The real thing we need for the Megain is an harpoon, so I can throw myself agaist her screaming "Die, you damnfish"

Btw it is true, looks like in the Devil's roar the spawn ratio of Megan is too high, yesterday met her 5 times

@khaleesibot I know khalees ok

To clarify for everyone, that's not the Hungering One you're encountering!

From Patch 1.1.2

Battered and broken by the cannon fire of an entire sea of adversaries, the Hungering One has returned to the depths and can no longer be summoned. Does this mean the waters are safe to sail again? Not for long. She may be the mightiest of her kind, but she is not the only one of her kind. From the next patch, the surface will be breached by others following in her wake. A new age of predators has dawned and things will never be the same again...

It would be nice if it was more rare my record for encounters is 25~ times in 4 hours.

@inboundbomb seriously? A wearyball works on Meg?

@nicklas123807 There is a chance it won't attack you if you don't attack the megalodon. There's also a rumor that Merrick's Shanty could calm Megalodon down. He actually stopped bite attacks while we were singing the song. But whether the song or our smell made him turn away, only the sea knows.

Just throw in a weary ball and hit her with it and she goes to sleep and you can continue unscathed.

@eelporridge sagte in Megalodon should be nerfed:

@haydnsym45 said in Megalodon should be nerfed:

No offense, but... Is this for real? You just keep sailing and shoot him with your pistol. Even going solo he won’t take more than a bite out of you before you’re out of range. I find the Meg laughable nowadays - if anything buff it to make me actually change course.

interesting that you shoot at it at all. Are you aware that it starts to attack the more you shoot it? If you don't provoke it, you might find it takes a lot longer for it to attack. (At least that is what I have been told by other players, and it seems true that when players are shooting it, it starts biting sooner and more frequently)

That's not what I've experienced...everytime I see Meg, we shoot with our pistols as much as we can, sometimes he runs then and most times he doesn't attack for 2-3 minutes...when hitting him with a cannonball he attacks earlier
In the week after THD he attacked us once and we killed him...after that we NEVER have been attacked by him...I find him useless now...he definitly should go nearer to the island until he goes away...it's a joke like that and far far away from being a thread

@starship42 I see

@closinghare208 the OP wanted to escape her (Megan), like the Kraken (Karen)... he said. Well, I don't get to meet Karen. I feel left out. So there.

@starship42 IT BE THE MEG I BE TALKING ABOUT SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It troubles me a little that Karen discriminates against sloops...

(I know I probably should be thankful, but I never see her because I always solo sloop.)

@skulliah because of shark bait cove where she lived before the hungering deep

@bo05ter I agree with you BO05TER

@xcalypt0x LOL SHES MY PET!!!!

@eelporridge JAWS IS COMING!!!!!!!!!

@nicklas123807 SIR! THE MEGLODON IS MY PET GUYS AND GALS STOP BAD MOUTHING MY PET

A big help to all you people out there, once ya kill meg she takes a long time to come back. She’ll mess with another bloke if ya fend her off

@x-crowheart-x - it more or less spawns in a place for a time, so if you keep sailing by her range you’ll encounter her more.

@x-crowheart-x I didn't see it yet, I will catch it when it hits ondemand for shizzle!
