@dumy2008 When the game came out it was easy pz It was for a very long time. It is no longer the case. The thing will not unwrap sometimes with 2-3 shooting it constantly and the guys above attempting to shoot the "head" next to the boat. That's only if it's not blocking the stairs keeping you from being able to bail water out or come above to help shoot the head.

@weakdexx omg this community/game would be so boring if we all just held hands and allied up. (I just threw up in my mouth a bit.)
This is not Sea of Carebears?
OMG im on the wrong forums!@goedecke-michel all i do is forts and ships in this game so i run into a lot more than most people who grind missions. 60-80% may be a bit high of an estimate but i swear it's 40-50% of the time and we are very good pirates. I just feel it shouldn't be that high and it's not that we are being slack i know it's not our skill level i've done a couple hundred krakens easy since day one.
@surtursl I'm not sure if it has a higher chance of spawning depending on how much loot is on board but it does seem to spawn after a fort/Skeleton ship battle. On the other hand, I have had sessions where I spawn in, leave the outpost and it spawns on me within 30 seconds with nothing on board (in which case I just log off and start again).
@octopus-lime I'm also failing to see how having a kraken (non player) sinking your ship with lots of loot on it which = time, is "fun"....... Let me clear the fog for y'all on this issue it isn't fun... it is not fun. It's a quality of life issue right now for fort grinders IMO.
@surtursl I agree it isn't fun for the crew but it can create some 'fun' situations for other crew.
I'll tell a quick story. It was either in the Beta or early launch, at a fort on a sloop and a galleon comes a long (they either sank us or we sailed off). When we come back the galleon has loaded the loot and is sailing away when all of a sudden the kraken spawns on them. We parked on the edge of the ink and fired over to cause chaos and they sunk and we got the loot.
So I can imagine that it wasn't fun for them, but for me it was hilarious, especially as one of them was constantly smack talking when we was at the fort.
@surtursl Yea, the Kraken was more difficult in the beginning, but I still play and have not ran into any major issues with it. Maybe it was bad spawning luck that affected you? Could have been a glitch of it not taking damage appropriately. Frequency is deffo an issue, same as with Megan, like @Goedecke-Michel said, but i have never had a troublesome encounter with the Kraken to the point where a 4 man crew is defeated.
In regards to the spawn issue, maybe adding an extra, smaller, set of steps into the captains cabin. for an extra exit would help?
@octopus-lime I've been on both sides of it and sure that is fun. My argument isn't for eliminating the kraken it's for a nerf. I wasn't specific but I mean spawn rate after forts and it could honestly use a nerf in HP or resistance to letting go of the boat. It's to sticky right now.
@dumy2008 Oh now i like that yes a an extra way into the bottom of the ship that might be groovy. Would make for fun pirate sneakiness onto the ship to barrel or hide. I could have a kraken glitch sometimes there's many times where tentacles will just not let go at all.
@surtursl I agree spawn rate could use toning down a bit, personally the difficulty is ok to me. I'm sure Rare will re visit it in good time, I am actually surprised that they didn't lower the spawn of all the PvE encounters (forts, kraken, meg and skelly ships) after the shrouded spoils ended as that's how they usually handle the events. Time will tell.
From what heard.. and seen. Kraken will only spawn if there is NO active fort. So, after finishing a fort.. this is prime time for her to spawn (& during skeleton fleets) . I'd suggest waiting to leave said fort until another fort pops up.
Imo.. The kraken, Megs and Ghost ships are perfect as is.. well, cept the kraken blocking the stairs. That needs to be fixed asap.@li-jratt-li The best idea i've heard all night! GG waiting till another spawn is not a bad idea with ships that are full of loot!
The only overpowered aspect to the kraken is when it wraps the stairs and you loose access to repairs/bailing and it becomes a 50/50 if you make it out, other than that I just do a 180 now soon as I see the black start to form and sail right out of the fight with it each and every time just letting the crew take out the closest tentacles to stop it from wrapping.
Once you got all your 10 kills of it, even with the loot drops its moot to bother fighting it anymore in all honestly.
@th3xr34p3r I agree with this statement it's the stairs wrapping that makes it OP. And upon further thought ( PRetty salty when i first posted) 50/50 is a much more accurate win ratio and it's really only when the stairs are wrapped.

There is one you can shoot if you spot it fast enough that said that will let you go through the fight without being wrapped from what I hear and in some aspects experienced (I just need to verify this a few more times on what one it is, more than likely the first one you see closest to the ship that goes down near instantly)

THIS is what I wanted to post.... but the tears....
@timboagogo Lol it has been a funny thread i've enjoyed the heck outta it. Glad I could bring the heat for the laughs for ya babe.
@SurturSL
Na... I was actually really sad for you, quoting all your made up piratey stats of excellence like that 😢😭😔@timboagogo LOL it's cool babe way to be a toxic d bag when it wasn't warranted. GG I hope i see you in arena too. Give me an add well make sure it happens :P
@surtursl personally don’t see the problem with the Kraken. Fine how it is imo if it needs anything it’s a buff! Kraken is the easiest PvE in the game to me personally.
@surtursl
Toxic? Haha
I'm the nicest pirate you'll ever meet!
Don't bother with the add... I like chickens, probs won't see me in the Arena.
