I’ve seen this behavior when it wasn’t actually my meg but another ship’s meg that I sailed into the radius of before it despawned. I almost kill it and suddenly it’s gone. I’ve stopped bothering with other people’s megs now. But it’s hard to tell for sure if it was yours or not.
Seen this as well, especially the last month or two.
started with season 8
I would guess intentional (unfortunately) as a part of the overall nerfing but really never know with megs
I've seen them change here or there dozens of times over the last few years. Sometimes it gets addressed and sometimes it doesn't.
The unfortunate part about it is it's the one bug/change that will lead quite a few people to losing out on their shrouded.
Meg hunting is a huge part of how I play and even I had to make the decision to mostly abandon meg steals just because current design/bug/whatever makes it more frustrating than rewarding.
Megs have gone through some real rough patches in the last couple of years as far as consistency goes. Spawn areas, spawn rates, behavior, it's all created some rough organic style hunting on and off.
a current thing happening is what I call spawn skipping. Rather than the 4ish in game days for a meg a lot of servers will skip a boat and not spawn for 8ish in game days, which is a long time for 1 meg spawn.
