Please move ammo crate away from armory box

  • Please move the ammo refill crate out from under the armory box on the wall. I can't tell you how many times i've sprinted to the ammo box for a refill to repel a kraken or another player and instead i get stuck floundering in the weapon select menu.

  • @captnsarcasmcsg I whole hardily agree to this change. I do not know how many countless times i go into armory when i'm trying to grab ammo.

  • This is a good suggestion. I see this issue many times with my family.

  • @captnsarcasmcsg Akin to this, move the bell away from the ladder. I can't tell you how many times I've sprinted to go up into the Crows Nest and ended up ringing the damn bell over and over again.

  • This is a non-issue. Look down more before hitting the action button.

  • @captnsarcasmcsg Me and my friend mention this every time we play. It's infuriating. I'm glad someone brought it up!

  • This is a legit suggestion. Nice to see players actually having a suggestion within rares gameplay versus others who just want to change everything

  • @captnsarcasmcsg I personally think we should be able to pick the ammo box up and put it where ever we want

  • @captnsarcasmcsg
    Amen to that brother. On PC when that happens, I have to reach up for the Escape key to exit the menu and it's gotten me killed a few times when trying to reload with enemies in the hull. Very frustrating. The other place where this happens to me a lot is when trying to climb the ladder to get into the crows nest and instead the bell rings. Fighting with that is a pain too.

    The only trick I have found that seems to work is to look down at your feet before pressing your "use" key.

  • @bryanexmachina
    It's especially frustrating when you're trying to sneak up on a ship and want to climb up just to go DING DING DING DING

  • @nebenkuh omg that exact thing happened to us last night!

  • 100% agree, even if I look at my feet I sometimes still get the armory. And on the sloop that bell needs to move too. The prompt to ring that comes up more often then the ladders, and it can be so frustrating.

  • Another method would simply be to change the interaction with ammo boxes over to 'R' (or secondary use key), same as merchants. This is a VERY annoying issue though, and I definitely agree that something needs to be done.

  • @nutty-r agreed the same would work for Xbox too. I want that sang bell moved off the main mast 2

  • @captnsarcasmcsg what it is, its the action box that is too big. it needs to be squared down and fixated to the cabinet it is meant for. not the air

  • @nebenkuh haha sneak attack... ding ding

  • Personally I don't think there even needs to be a separate ammo box on the ship, it should just be the weapon locker on its own, with one button prompt to change weapons (F on PC) and another prompt for reloading (R on PC), so that way as long as you press the right button when facing it you will always get the expected outcome.

    That way you would also be able to reload your ammo while at an outpost using the weapon locker outside the weapon vendor instead of having to switch to a random weapon and then switch back again.

  • @bryanexmachina The thought of that happening made me chuckle a little. Only because of the frantic ringing of the bell, heh.

    As for the suggestion I agree. It's a minor change, but would be a great one.

  • Yes! and while they are at it remove the damn bell from the base of the mast ladder.

  • I totally agree maybe move the armory to the opposite side of the ammo box. So the armory is near the propose voyage table and the ammo box is where people know to get to quickly

  • On a sloop that is dunno about the galleon not been on one in a while lol

  • @bryanexmachina same for me when going down from the crows nest especially if you have barrels up top sometimes the action to go down doesn’t appear and I end up ringing the bell endlessly xD

  • They could keep it, but just make the interaction button on ONE different than the other.

  • @nightmare247365 i'm not sure they would want to do that, The entire game they are teaching the player through other button pop ups and prompts, use this button to activate, pick up, or use an item. To change that would break the conventions they have set for the UI. Just simply moving the boxes location would simplify the issue with out confusing the player with "which button do I press for this mechanic now."

  • @blackbeard-lufy a dit dans Please move ammo crate away from armory box :

    This is a non-issue. Look down more before hitting the action button.

    I'll send you back right to one of your own answer on another post Mister "it's an issue only when i decide it's an issue" :

    It's a simple quality of life addition that could be included. Stop being a white knight thinking the game is infallible and excluded from scrutiny. Like I said previously, it isn't a major issue by any means, but it would certainly be a welcome change.

  • But yeah, clearly, please move it, it's incredibly awkward from a user standpoint, sometimes, i look down, but the weapon selection windows opened up anyway because i came in too quickly. It's awkward.

  • oh yes please, when you're not fighting or hectic it's not that bad but if you are: Well hello there do you want to change your weapon sir?

  • I think maybe part of it is to add a confusion to battles. Fighting should be crazy and hectic, but does not feel like that too much.

    Fire cannons, repair unground, launch yourself.

    I think it also prevents someone from sitting on the ammo box and just spamming the reload/reammo button everytime they have boarded and take out an enemy ship.

    I think either making it a different button or keeping it as is adds a bit of difficulty.

  • @aenima123 Fair enough.

  • I want the ammo crate moved on both the galleon and the sloop. I saw a video (Probably beta) where the ammo crate was by the cannonballs and wood on the galleon and i like that spot much more then where it is currently. moving it on the sloop may not be as easy but i do support this.

    Maybe they should lock the FPS at 10 FPS too, it would add a bit of difficulty. Oh and maybe they also should make that the game crash every once in a while, randomly, to add a bit of difficulty, and the buttons to swap weapons should be super unresponsive on purpose, to add a bit of difficulty.

    Please, never be a designer for any type of product. For C****t sake.

  • @blackbeard-lufy I DO look down! Still can open armory box. Move it. Same with bell on mast on sloop!

  • i disagree, i never have a problem with this and i dont want to have to go somewhere else for my ammo.

    amd if your solution is move the ammo box a few feet away and all you have to do is turn to access it, then right now all you have to do is look down.

  • @cebelicus lol fine, I get it. I take back my earlier response. I should've said "i've never taken notice of this issue though I may have been affected by it without realizing" as @Aenima123 called me out for hypocrisy earlier, it is a simple quality of life change.

  • @aenima123 I am sorry you are so triggered by something I said, but no need for a personal attack on me or calling out @Blackbeard-Lufy for saying it is not an issue.

    We have all been on these forums for quite some time and all of us are active participants. While we may not agree with the same point of view as you do not mean we are wrong.

    Is it inconvenient that the ammo box is directly beneath the Armory box? Yes. Is it strategically put there? Yes. Does it sometimes cause misclicks or death in the game? Yes. Does it need to be moved? No.

    As I stated in my argument if they moved the ammo box it could cause griefing if it is moved to a more easily accessible area. It needs to be out of the way. I also think it was done for a strategy so someone cannot just sit on the ammo box and reload while waiting for someone to respawn on the ship. A bit of confusion can save a respawning player from instant death. It can also make it feel a bit more difficult and panicky if you miss click.

    So please read the comments, comprehend them, then make posts without being toxic, the community already has too much of that going around.
