Where is my Chain Shot?

[Silly Princess]

I'm at a loss here, I'm lvl 6 (iirc) in cannon, and I have my grape shot, I have Chain Shot showing in my weapons, highlighted like it would work, but when I get on my cannon I only have cannonballs and grape shot showing. Big blank space in #2 where the chain shot should be.

If it unlocks at another lvl I would think it would show in the line AFTER the grape shot?? I'll keep shooting and check back in a bit, hope you can help!

Ok first its regular cannon balls then its chain then grape....did you use a cannon point to activate it? Do you have the ammo in your inventory or do you need to go buy some? Other than that I would be talking to the programmers.

[Silly Princess]

Yeah I think I'll have to contact them. In my treasure chest weapons page it shows cannonball, chain, grape...chain and grape both show active and have full ammo. When I get on the cannon the circles go: cannonball, blank (showing chain should be second but it's empty) then grape with full ammo. Weirdness.

BTW I just upgraded to lvl 7 and it's still not working.

***EDIT***

Well guess what! I got an email back from them telling me to update my graphics drivers!!! HAHAHAA it's gonna be just like Toontown...anything goes wrong, it's your drivers!!! If it were my drivers, I would think I'd have issues with more than one weapon, don'tcha think?!?!

I'm now up to lvl 8 cannon and it's still not working. Also got a message to train a new shot which I can't get to work, even though I bought the ammo. Is anyone else at this lvl having this issue? Or anyone higher who can tell me when it WILL unlock?

Hey SP, you must rock at this game too. Lvl 8 cannons cool.

I was wondering if you know how to unlock the ammo? I was able to buy chain and grape ammo but I can't use it. I am at level 5 cannon and would think that by now I would be able to use ammo other than round shot and grapple. On the K tab under cannons it shows that I own 100 of each of grape and chain ammo and has a link (or so it seems to be) that say's click to learn skill but each time i try to click it the popup box goes away. I am thinking level 5 should be able to use these skills as the next one on the list is firebrand and when you hover the mouse over it the popup says available atg level 8.

SP has given me OK to add this question to her thread since it is similar in content to her problem and she has also given me her take on my problem and I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas?

did you have to do anything special to activate them?

[Pirate Rose]

Just had to give them a skill point.

I am embarassed to say I do not know what you mean here? Under the K tab it says I have 2 skill points, do I use these some how to unlock the grape and chain shot?

[Pirate Rose]

Yup lol as with all weapons, when you get a skill point you can allocate it to one of your skills by clicking on that skill

It's the same with all your weapons, so go check your skills for those too

[ASuperStitch]

interesting, I dont hve those skill points anymore but I was clicking all over the place so I probably allocated them to something like, oh let's see, hmmmmmm allowing king kong into the cargo bay for transport to new york.

Seriously, I will see if I can figure out what you mean here since this is the first I have learned about "skill points", thanks.

edit: I just went to the K tab and notice that I had now progressed in sailing far enough to use the "come about" manuveur and I had one skill point there and I clicked the icon for come about and went out to sea and lo and behold I was able to use the "come about " function. This however has not been the case for me with skill points under the cannon tab or the sword tab or the gun tab. Really strange!!! to this point anyway and like I said I was clicking like a madman so I probably used the skill point to beam to mars or something, from now on I'll be more careful. Thanks for your help!

[Pirate Rose]

lol Well king kong will have a fun time

I'm trying to attach a picture of what I'm talking about Does it help? The 5 round circles are where your skill points go.

[ASuperStitch]

you did an awesome job with the pic and yes that was just what I found out via your previous posts. I hope this helps others as much, I am very appreciative of your time, thanks.

i have the same problem, for some reason i cant get a skill point to stick with chain or the next one - i do have fireball though, so who knows i figure its just a glitch.

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.

[ASuperStitch]

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.
