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.

dizzymommy · #20 10-09-2007, 03:56 AM

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.

Email them back and let them know your drivers are updated already, I've had to do that. I'd check to make sure they were updated if it's been awhile just in case but yeah they have issues with that. This computer is a gaming computer and has run multiple online games on it that have way more than this one but they still think it's my computer at times. No one else seems to be having this problem that I know of and it is weird that it is only that one ammo for cannon having issues, I'd submit a new report.

I am having the same issue as some of the others regarding adding a point to chain and grape. I bought the ammo before I put a point into those skills and now it will not allow the skill point to set. It keeps kicking it out to the remain when you log back in. Big problem for sure.

Pirate Rose · #24 10-09-2007, 01:43 PM

Sounds like we have a trend now. If you buy ammo before achieving the skill, you can't use that skill. Hopefully they can fix this in the next update.

Barod · #25 10-10-2007, 12:33 AM

The problem is the game gives you ammo (50/100 maybe) when you purchase the first point in the skill. Since you maxed out the ammo before buying the skill it can't give the ammo that the skill comes with, so it bugs out and doesn't complete the action.

It seems like an easy fix for them, though there's no telling how long it'll take.
Not all of the ammo based skills give free ammo, but I imagine all the ones that do can be bugged by this.

So, keep those drivers up to date...or something

HA!! You should apply to Disney Customer Support! :P

I still don't have the darn chain shot, and I'm like a lvl 9 cannoner. How sad. My little pirate who's only lvl 7 or so Notoriety has chain now. I'm being VERY careful of what I buy and how I click when I get a skill point now.

I may have learned something about this today and maybe I just got lucky.

I, like SP, have been trying in vain to get my chain shot to work. I bought the ammo some time back and have had the skill points to activate the ammo but every time I tried nothing happened and I wasted a skill point.

Today, just for giggles, I tried to activate the skill shot skill while out to sea on my boat. I had never done this in the past as I had always been on land trying to activate the skill.

Guess what, the skill was activated and now I have chain shot.

I also need to activate grape shot and as of yet I have not tried to do that while out to sea. I will try later as soon as I get another skill point and let you know here if it worked.

Having said all that it maight be that the game updates have just fixed a problem and it will woek on land but just the same I am not going to waste a skill point trying it out on land, lol.

If this helped someone else please post here so everyone can learn, thanks.
