Seriously, this bloody things need to be toned down a few notches. Its extremely frustrating, as a solo player, to just start the game, sail not even 5 minutes, and then have one of these things spawn in, and basically utterly wreck you. Theres almost nothing you can do, besides pray they'll get stuck on a rock somewhere.
Or at LEAST dont have the freaking galleon sized ones spawn when the player is using a bloody sloop. Its annoying, its frustrating, and its making me want to uninstall the game and call it quits.
Same goes for the bloody kraken. Had that thing spawn on me twice almost as soon as I undocked from the island I spawned in at...
Tone them down...
