I remember there being gigantic whirlpools in the dark sea, which were insanely annoying since they were invisible most of the time, hidden underneath large swells
did they get removed or am i just tripping??
removed probably
They are a thing but vetex added a check for them to not spawn too close to your ship and I guess that check is way too strict for how big they are meant to be.

I hope it’s kept that way, having to watch out for them was an unbelievable pain considering that you had to actively pay attention to your surroundings instead of doing something else (sailing in the dark sea gets old after about 5 expeditions).
Imagine getting stuck in a whirlpool while there is an atlantean brig chasing you 
it just became tedious and not fun after losing Sealed chests and lagging then crashing multiple times.
(Immediately after this, in the balance trello)
Critical priority
- fix check for whirlpools spawning in the dark sea being way too large
