  • @mad-jack-ketch most patronising post ive ever seen

  • @captain-fet You should get involved in a crossplay thread then aha that’s where it’s really at xD

    @Mad-Jack-Ketch Pretty much anything along those lines would suffice. I was thinking maybe have it where you can select a default item in a barrel and can grab a stack without having to enter the UI.

  • On PC it is bugged and if you move the mouse to fast it wont recognize you changing item and will try to deposit instead of withdraw. and the other way around

  • @captain-fet I don't understand how it is.. but sure...

  • @thesurk I've not experienced this and I'm rather quick. Has this happened more than once?

  • Yes i am able to reproduce the error, i tried filming it but it does not seem to show my pointer in the video.

    try to jump back and forth to bananas in the inventory/storage for example and move your cursor very fast and stop on the bananas.

    It is not a 100% all the time bug but i can make it happen often if i try to and it does not require fast movement every time, it just makes it easier to reproduce.

  • That new barrel system absolutely sucks. I hate it.

  • -Get locked in when you try to walk away.

    -New update meant to keep you from leaning your way out of interacting with the barrel will straight up keep you from using the barrel at all.

  • A surprisingly little known fact for pc is that you can hold F to give or take resources quickly.

    Supplies can be dropped quickly into your ship's barrels from your inventory by tapping Q to change to the your inventory side of the menu then holding F.

    Unfortunately, this doesn't work on xbox /controller. Even doing the equivalent holding X.
    Take all and store all buttons should be coming soon to help level the balance in this respect.

  • I knew this but, good work mate.

  • @xadrasyl i dont want a take all button for barrels, to prevent enemy pirates taking all ur cursed cannonballs in a second...

  • @eggamer13 I posted this the day it came out :P

  • @zannarii hence you don’t store your cursed cannonballs l, you keep them on your person at all times.

  • Remember when you just pressed x and immediately had 1 of whatever you wanted in your hands ready to use?... ah the good old days...

  • @mad-jack-ketch no u can loose them all if u get a bearderror for example, so i store some in the barrels...

  • @mad-jack-ketch

    PC Users That Use Mouse, Keyboard and Touchscreen
    Press (F) to open barrel. Tap what you want grab. Press (X) to close barrel. Done!

    Before "Barrels 2.0" I didn't find many uses for the touchscreen in Sea of Thieves. Now it's very helpful, indeed. :)

  • @zannarii I’d rather lose them then let them get into enemy hands ;)
