Oh thanks! I was starting to think I was going nuts (...or more so LOL) anyway, it's weird having grape shot and that silly space where my chain should be...maybe it'll just pop in later if all goes well. Although I sent a bug report they replied about my drivers, so idk if they're even bothering to looking into the possibility of a bug or not.

BTW, I have an unusable fireball too, here I sit with all this ammo I bought and can't use.

seems to be for most any skill, I have two sword skills that I can't use either. Have them under the K tab but not when I am actually fighting.

Hmm that's kinda weird that it only happens to some and not all people.

Add me to the list of not being able to unlock grape shot. For some reason at the beginning of the game I was able to buy grape shot ammo without having the skill unlocked. And since I didn't know what I was doing I bought it. I'm wondering if that messed it up for me. I was able to unlock Firebrand no problem.
Of course Disney tells me that they recommend a min. of 512 ram and I may need to add more RAM. Hmmm I have 2 gigs of RAM LOL This is a brand new mobile workstation that is more then powerful enough to handle this game.

Just like the "drivers" standard response...they seem to tell us these things when they don't know what else to say, and don't seem to want to admit there could be a problem with the game.

Re: my issue: I got up to lvl 9 on the cannons so I got another point to use...used it on Chain shot AGAIN and it finally gives me the rings around it with lvl 1 showing, but STILL as soon as I get on the cannon I still have the blank space where it should go. Next point I get will go to the fireball or whatever that is, we'll see if that one works.

Oh Dizzy...I bought chain shot before I could use it too, so maybe that does have something to do with it; although when I used Contact Us to report it they breezed right over that and said it's my drivers.

Funny, all the skills that I have attained access to I can use. Strange.

I'm really thinking it has to do with the fact that we bought it before being able to use that skill. Mine does the same as yours. Sometimes it seems to take the skill point and shows as activated but as soon as I go on cannon or tp somewhere I have a skill point available again. Was so bad that it didn' teven let me use that skill point at all until I unlocked my next item by reaching level 8. Weird stuff. Good luck to you Princess. You play TT as well I think I read? Are you on test?

Just wanted to add that I asked Disney if there was any way I could clear my inventory and get rid of the grape shot ammo I bought and they didn't respond to that for me either. I think that would fix the problem. Hmmmm Well I love my Firebrand now and will probably work on upgrading that and my reloading time anyhow

Dizzy - yep I'm on TT and test, but I haven't been on since I started Pirates! LOL

Now I'm bummed again, I logged out and when I went back on my circle around the Chain shot is gone, just like before...so I've wasted ANOTHER point trying to get this thing to work. GRRRR!!!!

Devs, if you happen to read this maybe you can look into it and fix this issue. I've started another character who's on lvl 5 cannons and got the chain shot with no issue; if this character is bugged I'll just continue with the new one and dump this, although I hate to lose the lvl 17 Notoriety and all the weapons; took a while to work up that high.
