Fewer Thunderbolts?
 
Did the update decrease the amount of Thunderbolts we can carry?

I swear that yesterday I could carry 125, and today it's only 100.

Yep the max was reduced for lightning, firebrand, and fury to 125 and explosive to 12. I lost 150 explosive rounds. I suspect your barrel size reduced you to 100.

OMG I haven't gone sailing in a while to use cannons, so didn't notice, plus with bossbattles I usually sail too, so haven't use cannons in a while. I'll go look later, I had the biggest one, 175 max on those cannons & the starter 50 on explosives when you unlock them (unlocked those last & dont use them)
=(

Yes it did, and I'm not happy about it :P

Disney -> :laughks2: :degen: <-me

That is irritating, to say the least.

mlratto 08-27-2008 05:58 PM

with all the other stuff that needs addressing this one comes completely out of left field.

It's a sure bet that hundreds of pirates contacted disney saying "my god i am carrying too much cannon ammo...please fix asap!"

and also in re: to the known issues post...not a single mention of SvS fixes ( i know i'm beatin' a dead horse ) but their 'to do' list seems way out of what IMO.

OMG if they decrease the amount of gold you can carry, omg "my gold!!!!" I'm sitting on over 64,000 at the moment.

Chris 08-27-2008 08:26 PM

heh, they better lower the price of war frigates if they lower that!

I usually only run out of ammo in two situations.. playing SvS or leveling cannons out on the high seas.

Other than that, I found having half of what I could carry lightning wise for example was plenty for the boss battle, so the amount I could carry was only an issue in the aforementioned scenarios, and I can tp out, get more and tp back :)

Chris 08-27-2008 08:32 PM

ugh i dont like where this is going.

Swash 08-27-2008 08:46 PM

Guys I know it seems like a big deal but think about the worst thing that could've happened
They reduce amount of ships you can have and you lose all your ships that would have been bad for War Fleet owners because all 3 ships cost all together 120,000 gold.

davy redflint 08-27-2008 09:00 PM

bummer, more trip to the store. i wander if they fixed any thing that was wrong.

Redfoote Vader 08-27-2008 09:32 PM

Sorry folks, but i think it's lame they dropped my max cannons from 175 to 125. Why change this?

davy redflint 08-27-2008 09:51 PM

make u spend ur gold faster, who knows why they change it. only big d know.

Eric Firefury 08-27-2008 10:35 PM

THIS IS THE STUPIDEST UPDATE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :degen: However, I guess when I think about it that it does make sense otherwise you could stay out for basically forever with maxed out ammo.

whiskey 08-28-2008 01:04 AM

This only means you will have to port more frequently on SvS if running solo.......

League 08-28-2008 02:41 AM

They should just change the gold limit to 50,000, and not make another change. That would do its job: tick off the right people. Anywhoo, they coulda lowered the limit but let us over the limit stay above until we fire all the extra shots. Ya know what I mean?

Davil 08-28-2008 04:36 AM

Also with this update has anyone noticed on their friends list some people are "guest" alot of numbers?Disney once again has failed to impress me,only intimidate.

Jade Macmorrigan 08-28-2008 04:49 AM

i KNEW i wasn't losing my mind! WHY did they reduce the number of rounds on thunder and firebrand?!?!? not to mention the WAAAAY over priced explosives..i had as many as i could possibly carry and now ALL that money is gone. UGH! i KNOW we weren't reimbursed for all of our lost rounds that we paid for either, least i don't recall there being more money today than yesterday. and we should be credited for the stupid barrel we bought because now it doesn't hold as much either. if i WANTED a smaller barrel...i'd stopped at a smaller one. that's such utter and total malarky!!! :Pirate9: what a dumb thing to do!!!

Sassy 08-28-2008 08:00 AM

ok, so are they REIMBURSING us for the now gone ammo that we had purchased but not used that they "took" from our inventory???

Dr. Zeppers 08-28-2008 08:33 AM

well let me think... did they reimburse me for the Voodoo staff I paid like 10000 for that they changed to be 1800?

uhmm Nope!!!!

Not likely!

Maximvs 08-28-2008 12:07 PM

Unfortunately... none of us will see a dime of that lost ammo... just like when none of us got money back for the cheap weapons.

um war frigs are 60k lol

ancrom 08-30-2008 01:03 AM

I dont care about the reasons why(which they have not given any)
just a bunch of disney apologists running around saying it could have been worse
I pay to play this game I earned the gold which I used to buy the ammo.
and I paid for the medium sized barrel which is now a small

theft plain and simple

damn megacorps I've been downsized

That's the point.

B00TS 08-31-2008 12:26 AM

yeah a bummer alright! I hate reloading! And I WANT MY GOLD BACK!~*Boots gives Disney a big kick*

Captain Seaford 09-01-2008 05:01 PM

Yeah, that really blows. I hate it.

Captain Del 09-01-2008 05:57 PM

This really is an incredibly stupid thing Disney has done. I mean, updates are to enhance the gamers experience. But instead, they decide to lower the ammo count, when the better thing to do would be to leave it alone, or possibly even raise it. But now, we need to make extra trips to the Gunsmith, thus making us lose money, thus making us have to earn it again, when we shouldn't have to. I mean...... wow..... I really should calm down... But still, Disney, that really was a stupid move in this chess game we call POTCO.

omg I've been robbed

Edward Edgemenace 09-01-2008 07:43 PM

The only times I ever ran out of fury (when I had 175) was when I:
A) Forgot to ammo up before a boss battle
B) Did a boss battle alone (ran out on 4th bridge.)

In regular sailing, I never ran out of fury or thunder. But when helping people on John Smith quests, I'd usually be driving, not on cannon. (And that's about the only other time it is conceivable, to run out.)

My opinion on SvS, is that it should not have ANY repairs (repairs should be in the regular game, not SvS) and no special ammo - no chain shot, grape shot, thunder, explosive or fury - nothing without a historic precedent. I don't see how a slightly lower arbitrary limit helps in any way. I wonder what they were thinking.

MacIronhawk 09-01-2008 09:06 PM

I used to be able to hold 175 thunder bolts and now it's only 125.
I had the laregest bag for amo but it decreased a lot and i'm thinking POTCO should give me my gold back for thoughs 30 explosives.

icemage 09-01-2008 09:33 PM

Now I have to keep recharging my firebrands and lightning bolt ammo so much... I go on crew ships a lot to lvl my cannon or do quests. Now I have to keep tping off and on the ship missing valuable rep points for the ships they sink while i'm gone.

Joseph 09-02-2008 02:59 PM

Yep thunder lost a few and explosive dropped to nearly nothing

CrimsonRabbit 09-02-2008 07:48 PM

What in the world? This makes no sense....

For some reason I knew I shouldn't have maxed out my explosive ammo

They are probably your friends on DXD.

Nautical Nattie 09-02-2008 10:50 PM

"Oh my gawd i'm carrying too much ammo Disney do something!" lol! i like that. :)

I maxed my explosives ammo and then find out suddenly i can only hold 12, and i go through lightning rapidly anyway let alone now they decreased it even more. I don't see why they did it though, pointless. Surely they could have spent time fixing something else rather than making us spend more time teleporting away to get more ammo and waste more time.

davy redflint 09-03-2008 02:29 PM

aye doesnt make since to reduce but they took explosive down to 12 what up w that the rest at 125. instead fixin thing like amount of what u carry add more content. and gold still maxes 65k.

CrimsonRabbit 09-03-2008 06:26 PM

I think D messed up and explosives were supposed to go down to 125 as well....someone just missed the 5 at the end of whatever coding they use to do that kind of crud.

League 09-13-2008 03:33 AM

I have a wacky idea ([<--] to quote the incredibly good-looking Derek Zoolander): when we sink a ship in SVS, we should regain all the shots that we put into it. If we get sunk, we can lose whatever was fired. If a shot misses completely, it can be lost for good.
