Cursed cannonballs while on the cannon.

    Has anyone else noticed that while manning the cannon....you cannot switch to a cursed ball even though your toon is carrying it.

    Out of regular cballs and need one of your c-cballs???

    1. Let go of the cannon.
    2. Hit #4 on the PC....(not sure what it is on the XBOX. I'll try to remember to test the xbox later.)
      2a. Hit #4 again if it's not the desired c-cball
    3. grab the cannon again
    4. load the c-cball
    5. fire

    before I realized #4 was the hotkey for cballs....I was...

    1. running back to the c-barrel
    2. access its inventory
    3. move the ball into the barrel
    4. grab the ball again
      4a. don't accidentally press X (stow/drop held item)
    5. grab cannon
    6. load c-cball
    7. fire

    So glad when I pressed #4.
    LOL

    PS. I tested the xbox controls and you can....

    1. hit the menu button to see EQUIPMENT, RESOURCES, REPUTATION & VOYAGES.
    2. Switch to RESOURCES
    3. move over to the desired c-cball
    4. load
    5. fire

    Don't even have to let go of the cannon.
    I'm guessing that's the same for the PC.

    I was also loading it into my inventory then putting it back in my hand lol. Idk how they forgot to make it easy to access. The new barrel system is so dope. It was just an oversight imo

    A mermaid flopped up on deck and mentioned that next week there will be a cannonball selection wheel.

    Yeps I have this prob too. And when you are off the cannon and press your hotkey for Ballz, mine is R, nothing happens. Then I have to goto the radial menu, left clik Ballz then hit R to cycle Uuugh!
    Going through the menu while on Cannon and waiting for it to load LOL then clik clik, get ball load FIRE and do it again for the next ball. This is BS LOL.

    If I want to fire 1 CCB then 5 reg Ballz then another CCB then 3 reg Ballz then another CCB sheeshers, I have to do backflips on deck dodge incoming fire, plank holes, open inventory menus and lose communication, and become a sitting duck, browse my dang Ball list in the Cannon Ball Barrel get hit with a jigball, and I don't even have my dancing shoes on...……….with all this going on I need speed, fluidity and accuracy and this new system is as fast and fluid as a brick in dried cement. Help me Tom Cruise!

    What if the wheel for emotes was replaced with your personal c-ball inventory....whilst on the cannon?

    The same buttons would be used for accessing it whether on the PC or XBOX.
    You'd only have to access it if you desired a different ball....otherwise keep firing!
    So simple....code is already there....everyone knows how to use it.
    EASY!!
