Did they change the barrels at all with this update?

Yup, a real pile o' garbage!!
@lu-loop2 Now it's much better. It's faster in general, you automatically take all that you can, the animation is faster etc...

It's not ruined mate, it's better now. You can find maps in Barrels now!
Another improvement they made with the barrels is removing the delay of input recognition when you exit a menu, which to me was the biggest issue this game has had (and which the barrels exacerbated). I still need to log in and see for myself, but that in itself is such a huge improvement. I suspect the menus are here to stay, and we'll never get the option to pull items out of a barrel without the cumbersome menu. But it's significantly improved and a bit less of a burden.
@tre-oni Just give me the option to not use the menus. I don't care if they stay as long as I can take all without having to use them.

Never going to happen.

Well.. no you can't.
Won't work for you for anything like CCB either if you had your way..
It is what it is

What is that suppose to mean? Does hitting take all not grab curses too? If that's the case then what in the world is the point...

So you made this thread before you did any research or actually tried it out yourself then?
Take all takes a full stack of whatever you've highlighted. It's actually pretty easy and quick. Faster than opening crates to take from them.
I fail to see though how a "take all" from a barrel without your menus magically incorporates the ability to select stored cursed cannonballs, or whatever else gets added to other barrels in the future.

It's pretty clear. Take all should take everything from a barrel. So with just one button press you get everything inside it that you can still carry.
I was not a fan of the first iteration of barrels and with this update it is very much improved. The only way you're going to find out is if you hop into game at an outpost and try for yourself - you've nothing to lose by doing so and you might be pleasantly surprised.
@lu-loop2 new clunky barrels and not needed inventory ruined the game for many while breaking the flow of the game play. so many stopped playing because of this, myself included. would love to see the drop in player count since the idiotic barrel changes to prove my point. sadly just like blizzard they will not show the game is in the ICU.
@lu-loop2 There are multiple items in the barrels including maps, The barrel system is faster now then it was before barrels 2.0 just collect all and move one.
if you dont want the menu go play a different game that doesnt have it, Barrels 2.0 is here to stay as stated multiple times by the Devs
either get used to it or dont but stop whining about it

There is no flow break with the new take and store all button. It literally solves all issues with the barrels.
You are in and out within less than half a second.
It emphatically does not solve all the issues, not even close. If I am in and out within less than half a second then what is the point of an obtrusive UI element?
@personalc0ffee There are ways of doing this that don't involve an obtrusive and cumbersome UI. This is just a bandaid.
EDIT: This is a good example of what I am talking about: https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/71600/ux-suggestion-for-interacting-with-barrel-2-0?page=1

CCB's that drove a lot of people from the game.
Don't you mean they sailed away from the game?

Yes totally ruined. Destroyed! Annihilated! Devastated! Obliterated!
