Resources should matter more in Sea of Thieves.

There is not enuff freaking Cannonballs! Fruit EVERY WHERE!

Well yeah, but instead of being only able to hold 10 max like it was in the early days of Sea of Thieves, we can in a way hold a massive amount because different kinds take up different slots, and that is a mistake.

Kegs use to be very very valuable, now not as much any more, and that's unfortunate.

Are you being sarcastic or not?? Honest question because even with PvP'ing constantly, I always have more than enough cannon balls. Usually by the time I clear out the server I'm sitting on like 400 or 600 cannon balls. Granted I don't have that many while fighting ships and having to kill skelly ships and meg, but I usually always above 100 or 150. If I ever get below a 100 then just find a island with a rowboat or usually by that time I have like 5 storage crates on the ship. I just make a run to the outpost or something and clear it out in a min.

@SwimPlatypus7

I also have to agree with the OP. I feel as if 10 cannon balls, with 5 chainshots, and 5 firebombs or blunder bombs with 10 cursed cannon balls is pretty overloaded.

You should have to choose between the ammo, but then how overpowered would carrying around 10 blunder bombs be right??

I don't know exactly how they would rebalance because there are throwables now but I agree with the OP. Its pretty insane how many shots on cannons you can have if your pockets are full.

What I’m saying is just switch the amount of Bannas, coconuts and other lame food with the amount of Cannon Balls!

Everyone knows you gotta eat super food if you wanna live! Fish, chicken, Pork, etc

Yes, do I get enough cannonballs to get the job done, I do.

Am I content/happy with the amount of effort and time in gathering said cannonballs? No I am not. Just which it was a bit quicker and less tedious.

But hey, I like my cannonballs!

@glannigan

I would agree except gathering supplies is just part of the thing we do now in my crew. Hell if I'm the ship its always stocked. I'm never NOT shooting off to this or that island, or harpooning barrels then jumping off for the same barrels with the one still harpooned.

Like I literally NEVER stop. So I don't ever understand it. Super food is required but early on food is needed and you don't want to use super food for topping off like 10 points of damage.

I don't know. Gathering supplies never bothered me none because it always gave me something to do in between traveling on islands. Always had a ton of cannonballs unless I just had a fight with like 3 ships back to back with kraken and skellyship or, and this is the worst, having a teammate that just melts through your back stock.

You got that one in the crew that goes through a stack of 10 with long ball shots and he never hits a single one, gets another 10 and keeps going. Like....whyyyyyyy and the even worst ones are the ones that use up all the chainshots.

I'd actually like barrels to have a cap on how much resources they can have like barrel's 1.0.

Used to a normal thing on resource management where ships had to really manage their supplies, now you have 400 planks by the end of every session, 500000 different types of food, and if no one fights me I usually have 700 or 800 cannonballs. The cannonball numbers is without combat. If I get into multiple ship battles then that number can range from 200 to 400.

@xultanis-dragon

Remember when it was actually possible to run out of ammunition and you had to kite an enemy ship by a fort and send a crew mate overboard to get 10 cannon, some boards, food and then port back to keep the ship going while you were double double duty on the bucket brigade and managing the ships sail trim and heading just to avoid taking any more damage..

I do, and I REALLY miss it a lot, the game in its earlier incarnation was extremely well set up and thought out and while the did add cool new features many of them are just tuned badly, and the resource management side of that is a huge part in where they can improve greatly.

@swimplatypus7

I remember a few times I would send crew mates over to the ship just to STEAL supplies lol. "Get on that ship, dont try anything, just take their supplies dang it!!"

Other times you would have to decide whether or not to waste the planks plugging up the top deck, or when you were currently broadside with a ship and they were hitting the bottom deck so you just bucketed until you were out then you started to repair.

There was a lot of nuisances to battling during launch that just isn't around anymore.

I understand that boarding was mandatory to sink a ship back in the day but still. I miss how insane and long the naval fights could take sometimes. Even against noobs, as long as they could bucket they could save their ship. Now though...if they are noobs, they get taken out instantly.

I really miss the launch game.

Not to mention stealing treasure, back when silly thing like skulls chests were considered very very valuable.

They never really did enough to combat in game inflation due to really not enough to spend gold on. I have no good ideas on how to fix that, but man the naval warfare was insanely good for the first year of the game.

And man oh man did I love to steal treasure. Here is a summery of my thievery, and I will make a point that I was doing this far before the stupid streamers. I had tucked into a barrel in the crows nest on this sloop while the crew did all the work.

Best part, they did not notice and put all the kegs right on top of me making me even more invisible. Thanks guys!

Soon as we were under way and about 100 yards from shore I dropped 2 kegs from up top, and lit the third and dropped it. Thanks guys!

I then swam back to the fort like any platypus would, and got the handy dandy row boat to load up all my loot!

Needless to say in the last little picture you can see the sail of their ship coming back looking all over for me, they were VERY angry, but I got away in the row boat. Took me 40 min to row from that fort to one of the islands to turn in all the way across the map, all because I did not want to get caught. Back when a skull fort was still a reasonable win!

ARrrrrr!
