Return to Reik barrels on ship position adjustment

Hello. Love the new map Return to Reik and it’s amazing.
I have one suggestion about the barrels that spawn on the ship to destroy the Skaven ships.

It’s a bit too clustered with the other items that spawn there like bombs/heals and it’s hard to pickup the barrels in the midst of chaos. I was wondering if the positions of items and the 2 barells could be adjusted so it’s easier to pickup.

Its already easy to pick them up, even in the middle of fighting everything when playing cata its still easy to do lol.

There are often replies along the lines of “not an issue for me,” but that doesn’t really address the design concern. Saying it works fine for one person is anecdotal and doesn’t change the underlying problem.

The pickup hitboxes for items on the ship are very close together, so even when aiming at a barrel it’s possible to pick up a bomb or healing item instead. This makes the barrels harder to grab in the middle of combat, and that’s the design issue being highlighted.

Let’s stay respectful while disagreeing with each other, please. People are allowed to voice their opinions.

The issue is not about people being so bad at the game they can’t even pick up barrels.

The issue is exactly what I’ve reported before in techincal support: if grenade and a barrel spawn in the ship’s hold at the same place, the grenade’s pick up promt will overlap the barrel’s pick up promt making it impossible for you to pick up barrel quickly. You’ll need to dispose of the grenades first.

I’ve revised my post to be less confrontational. While I didn’t use profanity, I can see how the original wording could come across as insulting, so I’ve adjusted it to focus on the design issue. My intention isn’t to prevent others from voicing their opinions.
