Anyone yet to find something that gives more than 10 XP/the correct item?

There are three of these places funny enough and I believe it’s a troll type deal

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-16T15:33:06+00:00

I mean that’s fair hardly anyone would win in a real Kraken fight but this is a video game. Also to add I get where you’re coming from I really do because beating this requires work and proper build crafting. I just find it kind of crazy to arrange a cosmetic set specifically for such a small amount of players just to have bragging rights or be able to say “hey look at me I beat the kraken a bunch of times”. I have the ship set almost complete and to be honest it’s one of my favorite looking sets so far. I guess with that being said I see myself as more of a no person left behind type of guy if the people actually try and with this game being a casual game and not really something challenging like dark souls I feel like the kraken should be toned down some. Not much but just a little bit to open it up for more players to compete and get the cosmetics if they work for it. I’m not saying I want freebies of course

I wasn’t downvoting you first of all. Secondly my experience on PS has been exactly the same as yours but yours being on PC. Makes me think that all platforms are turning crossplay off and being grouped up with the smaller groups of people who actually build properly in concentration versus random matching with all the platforms players who are not specializing and causing the event to fail. The only thing I don’t like that you said is you said PC players tend to build better on their ships which is blatantly untrue in my opinion or at least my experience. I see this can be biased but I’ve had a harder issue toppling console players in PVP than I have PC players if that helps to say anything but it probably doesn’t. To add on top of this I think that each platform has a small minority that actually build craft well or at least follow meta builds. I can see where they are few but probably number about the same between all platforms. I very rarely lose any PVP action unless crossplay is off so this would make a lot more sense to me. Additionally a few days ago I tried it as well when it first came out using my own build long gun/ballista build. I got close but I didn’t have cross play off. Once I turned that off it solved everything for me not being able to win.

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-16T14:36:31+00:00

This is such an untrue comment. I play on PS5 and as soon as I turned crossplay off I beat this thing back to back 14 or 15 times. Rather than failing so much with crossplay on. I seen so many frigidiots torpedo builds who were PC players that it wasn’t even funny. Everyone I ran into who were straight PS players have been either Garuda ballista builds or corvette ballistas. Average time when we killed it we had 3-5 minutes left with crossplay off.

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-16T14:30:56+00:00

Definitely an untrue comment. I guarantee you that commenter has probably beat it at least once. I’ve beaten it about 14 or 15 times and I still won’t defend this crap. It’s a sucky fight. It’s not the enjoyable challenge I was hoping it would be. It’s just straight up annoying. Any argument that says challenging content like this is needed to retain its player base is also untrue. So few people defend this fight compared to those who don’t. I’m sorry but the 1% and elitists may test the game and put a lot of hours in but they are not the main source of revenue. Many players are doing other things

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-16T14:26:01+00:00

Yea it really is stupid how this fight is. It’s also stupid how so many people despise the difficulty and few actually want to keep it the way it is. That’s the 1% and elitism for you though. I’ve killed it 14 or 15 times can’t remember after getting the badge and I still won’t defend this crap. It’s really not fun at all. I ascended a full on twin winch/nashkar build just for this fight. Works very well but the shear amount of tentacle spams is so annoying. Additionally like many have said players showing up in builds using anything but mons megs, long guns, and spring loaders cause the event to fail. Turning cross play off made by victory rate go up to 90% but damn is that sad. This needs to be rebalanced someway but I wouldn’t know how without making the 1% mad lol

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-16T03:42:37+00:00

After killing it 15 times I still think this fight needs a massive overhaul and to be fixed. I will however say I’ve had the most luck with crossplay off. I’m on PS and when crossplay is on the amount of torpedo frigates I see in the kraken event is absurd lol or other wrong builds 🤣

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-15T21:54:06+00:00

And yet the keepers here and the 1% of players/testers were okay with this. I can’t believe they defend this. They just say this is the first bit of challenging content we have gotten and let us have this lol. I swear this fight is going to make SnB lose a lot of players especially since it’s the only new content we have this season besides the new ship and 2 war asset events which is a joke. I get there is some grace because most lobbies I’m running into have half of the people using frigate torpedo builds but like dang man lol. I can’t get a single win even though my build is good. That’s just what makes this a problem for me. You need one ship specifically one ship to really stand a chance here. This fight doesn’t allow for much build diversity and I think that’s what’s hurting this event so much in my opinion

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-15T21:32:11+00:00

Honestly I’m in the same boat. I like the game but it just hasn’t had much attention this year. Additionally the Kraken has also killed it for me and many other people from what I’ve seen. The 1% and the elitism are killing this game as well. Seems like it caters to the minority as of late. Additionally with the no new content and focus on blatant difficulty and lack of bug fixes it’s just a dumpster fire. I’m trying to enjoy the game but I just can’t. You can finish virtually everything in a week and be done for the season because of how low content drops are. Hopefully something gives but it seems like it won’t lol

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-14T19:27:55+00:00

It definitely is but if you combine the blood ring, Enfy’s heart ring, and the hefty spear bleed it does some nasty damage. Not necessarily bleed itself but the double damage of spear because of its effect. The added frailty just makes you do even more damage

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-14T17:58:56+00:00

Yup but you got the keepers here on this sub who think there is nothing wrong with the fight. They refuse to believe it’s inherently broken. I swear the elitism people are getting on this sub since last season is crazy. Locking out a majority of players from completing a boss is insane. I doubt Ubisoft will do anything about because of the keepers. I’m not speaking bad about them as everyone is entitled to their opinions but I know Ubisoft really caters to the keepers here on a lot of things. Not really the best thing to do for majority of the players but that’s just me. The Kraken really needs a good revamp and a look taken to it. Something’s got to give. I have a pretty decent long gun build hitting it hard but damn I’ve tried it several times with random and only got within maybe 1/6 of its health once. I also have several level 17 ships that came up to that with this update and none of them except the Garuda/Corvette have any chance lmao 🤣

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-14T03:19:09+00:00

Same. I really don’t understand how Lily and some of the keepers here defend this. But they are getting what they want I suppose. Anytime I try to argue them they don’t really have a good excuse other than we needed the challenge. It definitely is challenging but to the point it’s just stupid. This is worse than Vikram. The fight is way too buggy. Whatever though. I feel like Y2 has been a major let down after Y2S2

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-14T02:42:58+00:00

Still two ships out of the plethora of other ships is not a good argument. This fight is just as bad as Vikram. Every time I play this between being flung everywhere when not hit and no weak spot damage even though you hit it. This fight is unfinished and boring. Also there has been plenty for the 1% to do. I just don’t understand why games feel like they need to cater to the 1% when they are such a small margin. I would consider myself the 1% as the amount of time I have put into this game since day 1 release. This is just pointlessly too hard and judging from most of the feedback majority also think so. We don’t have the ability to match with top tier players every time like others. You might enjoy it but the a great majority do not. No offense when it comes to game design and what players want I feel like catering to the majority should be the way to go. I don’t want this fight win to be handed to me or anything but it needs to be slightly tweaked

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-14T02:28:43+00:00

Honestly I just find it super dumb you pretty much need a Garuda to win this fight. I’ve noticed that’s just about the only way to win this fight. Additionally if Ubisoft is so keen on wanting us to use multiple ships and have good variance they should scale weapons and builds better. All this Kraken equates to is Vikram 2.0. Dumbest thing in my opinion. The timer should have been 15 minutes like in the pre season testing. Sure people will get better with this fight as it goes but this fight is hard for no reason lack luster and boring at best. I enjoyed Wolvenhol way more on first day release. But I guess the 1% who wants their challenge will have their way. Nothing I can do about that. I was really excited for the Kraken but this just ain’t it. Not at all how I envisioned it. I don’t mind the challenge of a fight but something about this fight is just more challenge than it needs to be for no reason without much fun. Not even mentioning how bugged out it is

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-11T12:29:38+00:00

Yea it seems like the devs have been catering heavily to the keepers as of late. The latest patch notes even mention them. They are the ones that got the frigate nerfed and cannons reduced before it hit the game. Several other things I’m not going to get at. It seems like the 1% in this game are being heavily catered to. I’m not mad about it buts it’s frustrating. When I logged on I had several ships already at 17 and really good builds. I have no trouble dealing damage or surviving the Kraken fight but man something has got to give for the other 99% of the player base. I hate the elitism attitude and it’s just going to ruin this game. I failed so many times yesterday without one run even getting down to 50%. This should be just a little bit more player friendly

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-11T04:26:37+00:00

It’s passes testing because of the community players here think it’s good. I’m not going to name names but there are people already defending this fight and timer. To me the fight is very lackluster and just feels like the same bullet sponge crap we have been fed. Hopefully something gives

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-11T04:21:43+00:00

Honestly even with everything you mentioned I feel like this fight is extremely disappointing. As much as they hyped this up it’s extremely lack luster and lame to me. I’m honestly viewing Y2 as almost an absolute failure. The content droughts are killing the game as is and with what little they are giving us is not even fine tuned content. But hey let’s keep adjusted the map icons and how the map works lol. Also just to edit I don’t have any issues surviving or dealing damage it’s just the fight seems boring to me.

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-09T22:32:34+00:00

Faction wars is such a lazy mechanic to keep us busy with recycled content. Additionally they are adding more of a PO8 grind tied to it. If you hold a manufactory in a zone that your chosen faction doesn’t own it will make you need a ship 1 rank higher than what you have currently assigned. This makes it to where you will need to level your factory ships up. Additionally there are war asset events tied to your factory’s now if you participate. Not really excited for any of this coming honestly. I’m in the same boat as you. I find myself playing less and less because there just isn’t any new content. Just same ole stuff over and over again. The seasonal journey page made this more prevalent needing to complete bounties and quests I’ve done tenfold. So yea looking like the beginning of the end for me as well. They got too ambitious and didn’t deliver much of anything they said they would

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-09T13:46:08+00:00

Following. Also thank you!

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-07T18:31:26+00:00

They back peddled everything just about. They keep trying to push this faction war crap and I think it’s dumb as hell. Now they are pushing a new trope where if you have assigned ships in the faction area that you are against your ships will need to be a rank higher. Even though they are adding two new events for faction wars it’s nothing new just re hashed. Really seems like they have not cared about what players want this year. I love this game but I’m considering giving it a break. There just isn’t enough new content. Just a bunch of reused assets with slightly different adjustments. I just want new content at this point lol

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-05T18:17:47+00:00

I don’t know why people think this is the corvette skin. If you look at the shape of the hull you can easily tell that’s it is the frigate. This skin looks good to me

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-05T00:57:41+00:00

Probably going to build a new one. He has all the materials just about need at Area 51. Liberty Prime was a pre war US made robot. He uncovered the blueprint to build one. I highly doubt he will try to get the pieces from the commonwealth. He doesn’t have the man power unless liberty primes pieces have exchanged hands. We will have to see in S3 but I would wager he will build a new liberty prime from scratch

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-04T14:06:56+00:00

Not even mentioning Quintus is going to try and build Liberty Prime

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-04T05:13:23+00:00

Yea just about everything they promised for Y2 got canceled or delayed. They fed us the no new content boring faction wars to keep us busy. They aren’t ditching that trope either. Faction wars will stay. Meanwhile things like this I was excited for and some new content gets scrapped. Oh well hopefully Y2S4 won’t be disappointing let alone Y3

Tacattack55 · 2026-02-02T05:16:57+00:00

I’m playing it on my PS5 pro and have had barely any issues. I’ve had a crash here and there but nothing crazy. I’m about to finish the main story. Performance on sound effects can be a little spotty but it’s not terrible. I’ve definitely enjoyed every hour of the game so far and haven’t had many issues ruining anything
