Giant Crab - Sea Monster

  • Giant Crab

    Hey, pirates! Isn't it a bit too calm out on the seas right now? I think it is, anyway, and that we need a little more excitement. How about a giant crab!

    Right now the only sea monsters in the game is the kraken and the meg, so when you've killed all the variants it never really feels exciting to face them anymore and it really makes it feel like something new like this would be needed! This would even give players another chaotic and fun thing to do which maybe would give you some good commendations, treasures or clothing accerories.

    How to find

    You can't really just take a quest that leads you to it, but to find it you have to hope to run into its mountain (which is underwater since it sleeps until you crash into it). It will only spawn far away from islands and shallow water.

    How to defeat

    Even though it's so big, it's possible to kill it because you can shoot its mouth so it will drop the jaw that protects the soft inside of the crab, so once you've blown its jaw, you can wound it by shooting into its mouth. But as you expected it will try to stop you and taking your ship down to the bottom. It will be able to grab the boat and pull it a bit under the water to try to sink your boat, but the boat will float back to the surface almost immediately and will just be about half full. It can also use one of its claws to try to smash the boat in half, but by using your new tool, the rope (which maybe could also be used to catch animals easily) that you can find in your inventory, you can tie the ship together for a while and then use planks so it holds together for longer than a minute. And if you don’t tie and repair it, the ship will sink as fast as three tier-five holes do. The last thing I came up with that it can do is scream so loud that the boat rocks, making it impossible to shoot at the Crab for a few seconds.

  • it's possible to kill it

    Treat it like the Kraken and “defeat it” and push it back to the depths

  • it may not seem like it but i honestly dont like to be overly negative. but i wouldnt spend much effort making suggest any improvements to this game or doing up nice art concepts like that. they allegedly hired some outside company to work on custom seas because they couldnt manage it. i know for a fact they hired an outside company to do arena because i remember watching the behind the scenes where the probably shouldnt have admited to such facts. so it makes me likely to believe the claims about custom seas. they have scrapped 80% of their PvE updates this past year. they have never given us a way to manage cosmetics or load outs for cosmetics despite bloating the collections chests. their answer to that was just giving us costumes instead which gives us 0 customization. they had planned on a kraken updated which from my understanding was mostly complete for this season then scrapped that. the kraken used to be a giant inky patch. now when we get grabbed by a kraken we see a hole in the middle where the head would have been. sloppy removal and didnt revert the kraken back to how is was originally which i think is just a simple cosmetic change case the clear patch isnt even fresh water its still inky underneath.

    this game is over. its in maintenance mode. they are putting less effort into cosmetics which was the whole point of the doubloon reset. to added a rotation (which isnt even a rotation, today as an example, bringing back the weekender at the end of the season and no new cosmetics? whats the point?) season pass change allow us to pick from old cosmetics rather than making new ones. custom seas with 0 of the progression paths they have forced on us to program our brains to farm for the past 8 years. user generated content in hopes the players themselves will be able to keep ourselves entertained while then plan the closure of the game.
