Bring back Auto Loading cannons, it was really fun when you didnt have to ohold Y between shots

  • let us have 10 shots in a row before needing to load the cannon, it felt much smoother when firing upon another ship and being fire upon

  • Stop being lazy and load those cannons ye lazy bilge rat! Load them cannons like yer getting paid for it!

  • @splatulated load them ya scurvy dog!

  • @splatulated it really isn't fun that way plus real pirates didn't have auto reloading cannons

  • When was this ever on PC?

    I remember always having to smash reload after each shot, it is quick, but not auto-loading quick. Sounds like another Xbox exclusive feature to try and "even" the playing field between PC and console.

  • @suave-beard are you serious about this post lol????? Or they started Xbox alpha earlier because it’s all the same consoles...

    I’m sure M and K dosnt have an advantage in your eyes either lol?

  • @splatulated Actually lad, I think they should increase the load times of the cannons, slow down repair time for holes. You should be penalized for being bad shots and spraying and praying. Same goes for the blunderbuss reload times.

  • @splatulated Been playing since Alpha, I don't remember a time we didn't have to reload.

    you didnt have to in the alpha

    so i Don't belive you when you say you played the alpha

  • @splatulated L**O. OK.

  • That would be boring and to easy if it auto loaded, learning how to constantly reload makes the game more suspenseful and entertaining. Also when you get it down it’s a piece of cake lol

    I've started playing the alpha last spring and I've always had to load cannons. The only change I can think of is you no longer need to have cannonballs selected to load them.

  • I'd be happy if it wasnt buggy, when it ignores you and you have to press reload twice. Hopefully sorted for launch. Does xbox have the same problem?

  • @erikinthebakery Thats my memory as well. Just like I remember doing Order of Souls quest in the Alpha!

  • I've never seen auto loading before, doesn't sound right either. Should just keep it as it is.

  • Beginning to think the OP was never in Alpha ;p

  • Well the earliest alpha with only 1000 people was basically a combat demo, so only the chosen few saw this no reload thing.

  • Well, I guess keeping the button pressed or spamming it would make no difference, so... why not. But also... why, then?

  • Dont bring them back

  • The only reason I'd prefer not to have to reload, is so that it's easier to chain shots and play the sweet music that happens when you hit a ship.
    For that reason I'd like infinite shots and for them to do way less damage.
    That way I can just spam them out and play an entire rad tune!

    But seriously though, I do enjoy how the cannons work now. With reloading and everything.
    The one change I'd like is if the "unload" and "load" cannon buttons were different, so I wouldn't reload then straight away start unloading them, since there's a tiny delay before you can fire after fully loading.

    Though that might just be NZ latency - 250-500ping might do that to ya!

  • They should add nbc ships

  • "He who cannot load a cannon, will swab the p**p deck." - Myself

  • Perfectly fine the way it is. Puts a little bit of thought into using cannons.

  • the cannons practically are auto-load. do you know how long it actually takes to prepare a power cannon to fire?

  • @splatulated first of all it's believe* and second that was never a thing I also played alpha from even before they had sharks which was the first main thing they kinda of added

  • It's possible he played it at Gamescom or one of the other cons where they demoed it and then is confusing that with the early alpha.

    no i never played it there

    I played in the 2nd alpha and onwards

  • I was in the alpha, although only at the end, and there has not been an auto-load for cannons any time I've played.
