Ship of The Damned is broken

[Devapple 0]

Hey all!

I love playing the game and finding all sorts of loot all around the map, but unfortunately the spawn rate of the ship of the damned is currently STILL broken.

Every patch that came out has been an attempt to fix it, so I give them that. Although with a total of 80% nerf of the spawn rate, just isn't enough. 

Below is a picture taken from in-game on the latest 8.0 Patch. Doesn't seem like anything is being fixed with these guys.

I completely agree. I am afraid to even sail anywhere because they seems to spawn in huge clusters together. It is epic to see something rarely, but when you see it all the time it is just a nuisance. The same goes for the vortex storms they just piss me off with how common they occur. I would like to see different types of storms instead of just that one.

I agree. Ships of the damned are poorly implemented. 

1. They should be persistent on the map.
2. Not spawned the same way mobs spawn.
3. Visible from much further out. (IE shadow LOD like islands have) in fact, all ships should be visible like islands with a shadow LOD.
4. They should act like a World Boss.

At the moment rather than implementing them better, they are just being nerfed into the ground.

Hopefully the devs just pay attention to the community forums. Otherwise there's no point in even posting about this. Just hoping to get attention to it.
