As the topic has been answered and this thread is old I will drop anchor on this. If you wish to discuss further on this topic please create a new thread.

Thanks!

Hence i'm even getting used to those with the big companies using them as release times instead of GMT or CEST :(

@legendary-jerkr The probelm with a "take all" on the fly is that it can be exploited by players just going aboard another ship and quickly stripping them of resources without any real consequence.

On a related note, strongly suggest that folks give this post a read through:

Really good breakdown and suggestions in there.

I agree with you on the stripping of resources possibility, I still think we need quick access to our standard resources without having to go into a UI mid battle though.even if they bring back the old take cannonball/banana/plank and had it as an additional option to 'open barrel' so you had the option of UI or quick access.

The issue is real. Examples have been provided. Tickets have been submitted despite Rare's response to tickets has been shameful. That is why we have ended up where we are making these posts.

It is what it is. Somethings have improved in minor ways since players stated posting here. Doubt things will ever be like they were. Some may not notice it and more importantly want to acknowledge it like Rare does not want to. It does not matter as the truth is in the game for all to see if they honestly look.
