@old-salt-gorg My favourite cursed cannonball would be the jigball as its hilarious to see all the skeles dancing Thriller style haha. My most feared is probably anchor ball as it stops your ship dead and can be easily boarded.
The Jigball on the skellies is my favourite :D
The Anchorball is the one I fear the most 👀
The scariest cannonball ever.. definitely has to be the anchor ball. If you’ve got one of these and you’re sporting a sloopdeedoop, all galleons beware. It makes you nearly unstoppable against the ship with the heaviest anchor. Now, the funniest in my opinion would be the grog ball. Shooting an anchor ball at a ship, paired with a grog ball makes for loads of fun and laughter as the enemies drunkenly try to raise their anchor.
My favorite is the anchor ball. I am way to often in the situation, that I want to be friendly but the other ship starts firing so we have to fire back. And after 3 minutes they notice that they didn't caught us off guard and are loosing so they try to sail away. And I don't like people who left a fight unfinished :)
My most feared one is the sleeping ball. I hate it to see my oponents firing holes in my sloop while I can't do anything.
@old-salt-gorg Cannonball I hate the most? The Grogball! Arghh one of them hittin' me deck makes me crew be sick all over the place! Then we get hit by a load of cannonballs!
Me favourite cannonball be the anchorball! Argh Argh Argh Seein' the Scurvy Pirates ship sailing off while they be on an island be great!
My most favourite cursed cannonball would be the Peaceball, nothing is more enjoyable than launching that from a sloop to a galleon and watch as I force friendship down their throats!
The cursed cannonball I fear most is that dreaded Venom ball, like someone famous, once said (probably) "Where there is venom, there are snakes." And to quote another famous philosopher "I hate snakes!" -Indian Jones
Although I don’t think it is the best ball, my favorite attack since you granted us access to them was when I almost instantaneously sank a galleon that was trying to sink my sloop and steal my loot! I was alone on it and the only cursed ball I had was a ballast ball so I shot the galleon with it. They must have had every hole in their second level open because just a couple of seconds after it hit them they sunk! It was GREAT! Very satisfying lol. I guess my most feared ball is the anchor ball because an anchored ship is a sunk ship when in a battle. Thank y’all for allowing us access. They have truly changed the way that the game is played and gone miles towards leveling the playing field in battles between different sized ships.
@old-salt-gorg My Favourite is the Peace ball as it stops other ships firing at you. Most feared is the sleepy night night ball for the same reason mentioned earlier. Its frustrating watching your ship sink as you are caught napping,
So many to choose from but my favorite has to be the jigball! Dancing at inopportune times has lead to much laughter and cursing. Additionally dancing with Skellies was a great during the cursed crews bilge rat adventure.
Most feared? Hmm...I'd have to say a well timed ballast ball. It can turn a dire situation into something completely unsalvageable.
Favorite and most hated are the same, and that is the Ballast Ball.
For me it is mostly useless against a sloop or a Brig, but devastating to a Galleon since most people do not prioritize mid-deck repairs. Great to use, but not so much to receive.
My crew was doing one of the Skeleton Ship encounters on a Galleon when a brig rolled in on the last wave and hit us with a Ballast Ball, we were sunk in less than 5 seconds with the mid-deck holes :)
Favorite cannonball has to be JigBall. Making those skellies dance in unison is some gut busting, laughing on deck until you cry stuff. Love it.
Most feared is the WearyBall. Being forced to sleep while allowing someone do their will is not very fun at all. A close second would be the JigBall when you are hit with it for same reason as WearyBall.
@old-salt-gorg jigball is my favorite, making people helpless in the most entertaining way before they die and the anchorball is the one I fear the most, because once your boat is stopped your sunk.
Gather ‘round, me hearties, and let me tell ye of the most feared Cursed Cannonball in the Sea of Thieves... the Ballastball!
Aye, ye may be wonderin’ to yer selves “but cap’n Blam, it’s worse to be stuck pukin’ yer innards out, or stuck blissfully dancin’ a jig as yer ship goes under!” That may be true, but listen close, me buckos. For many a moon now, the rule among pirates has been to leave holes blown in yer mid-deck alone, and when firin’ to always aim for the bottom deck, for that’s where the water rushes in regardless of how full the hull be already. Many a time have I heard “‘tis only a mid-deck hit! Save yer planks!” Now, Pirates can’t be so careless.
Imagine runnin’ in a galleon, and gettin’ yer mid-deck turned into Swiss cheese. Yer certain the other crew can hear your laughter and jeers of “where did these landlubbers learn to aim?” But yer thoughts of easy victory turn to apprehension, as purple smoke billows from one of the cannon, then to horror, as yer ship sets lower and lower in the sea, and water starts rushing in through the mid-deck holes. Now, yer laughter turns to cries and screams, as their onslaught begins anew in your lowest deck, and in seconds yer silenced, slipping beneath the waves, sunk by yer hubris as much as cannon-fire.
But me favorite curse, that be the tricky one. Methinks the Anchorball. ‘Tis a boon to both hunter and prey; ye can use it to stop yer quarry from escapin’ Yer wrath, or use it to ensure you live to pirate another day.
