for some reason they buffed the sharks. they will come as soon as you touch the water or can even wait for you if your ship is at an outpost. waiting for you is not a problem because if your ship is at an outpost you can just get on without touching water but when i play hourglass with my friend im the one who boards and if i dont just get on the enemy ship or i throw myself with the cannon so i can wait for the enemy ship to come to me while in the water i will get attacked within 10 secs and will also die cause the second shark will spawn to attack me too

I think that helps with the combat with boarders which frankly has been a mess. Players shooting themselves into open water and waiting to grab a ladder. No risk.
This way, you HAVE to be sure your gonna make it.Or use...Cannons.

Learn to ladder guard.
The shark spawns are insane right now, as are the spawn rates of all pve enemies - personally i'll be taking a break for now until it's fixed.
I think for hourglass its a welcome change since you have to better time your boarding attempts instead of waiting in the water.
But since every PvE threat spawn has been significantly buffed (3-4 sharks spawning immediately, same for ocean crawlers, skeletons, phantoms, sirens, skeleton galleons on sloops) I think it was a bug or some leftover things that were not intended to be deployed for the retail build.
