I keep waiting for them to finally fix the cannons. When firing a person out of the cannons it almost is never accurate. Either you fly 45 degrees to the right or 45 degrees to the left. I've had it happen on rare occasions where it literally fires me straight down into the water super deep. Firing people off cannons is a crucial way to board other ships and it's incredibly disheartening when you've been chasing someone for 30+ min and you're first two cannons shots are miles off from your target. This drags on the chase for another 20 min until you get back close to your target. The second I'm on someone's boat, the fight is over within less than 5 min. I wish they would fix firing people from cannons and take it as a priority because it's a HUGE bug that's incredibly annoying. It also happens all the time for people trying to speed run athena quests, when dropping people off at islands to solve a riddle or tap the chests and you're miles off your island making you swim for a couple minutes to get to where the cannon should have fired you in the first place. PLEASE please please fix this Rare.
Firing people from cannons is ALWAYS bugged, never accurate
@drunkpunk138 said in Firing people from cannons is ALWAYS bugged, never accurate:
Only time I ever experience this is when the cannon is facing something the player model might clip through, like the sail controls. And it only ever occurs on specific cannons.
I've fired people from our cannons to moving ships more then once. Like Drunk said @Mag977 If you clip something it won't work especially if you are docked and hit the rope or the posts this happens often.
@irish9399 said in Firing people from cannons is ALWAYS bugged, never accurate:
Yeah I've never had that problem, neither has anyone in my usual party. Not a universal bug, friend.
@Ernie-HazarD I'm glad neither of you have experienced it, but I have as well and it's really lame. Not sure that you sharing you've never experienced it makes it less worthy of being fixed. For example, I never ended up with one weapon slot, but that certainly needed to be fixed.
@mrbear24 oh I agree completely. I never implied that it shouldnt be looked into, or that it isnt happening. But you said that it is "ALWAYS" bugged. Im just enhancing your feedback by offering a counter point. The canon is definitely no ALWAYS bugged because it works for me and quite a few others. This is important info for the devs.
@mag977 seems to happen most frequently with the outer most cannons on the galleon when positioned to their extreme left or right position. Sometimes the results are funny when you aren't engaged with others and are simply firing crew to islands for supplies. You are correct though it is a real occurrence and can be easily duplicated. If it is intentional or not is another matter. When you point the cannon at its most vertical position is when I have experienced being shot down through the deck into the deepest depths. I try to laugh about those things when they happen because it could always be so much worse.
@mag977 I've had this happen occasionally, but I certainly don't think it's as often as you're making it out to be. I got a video of this happening to my buddy for those that haven't seen it, gimme a sec and i'll throw it up.
