Last Ship Standing
Shrinking Battle Bounds
While the Battle Bounds will continue to shrink at the same stages early in the battle, during the endgame the area will now remain at a larger size to provide more space for crews to battle.
While most battles will end naturally in a flurry of cannon fire, prolonged battles of over an hour will now be forced to an end with the Battle Bounds shrinking to a final ‘match ending’ zone to ensure one ship can be crowned victorious.
Winners’ Grace Period
After besting their rivals to become the Last Ship Standing, winners are now given additional time to collect their spoils and head to the final portal.
Fixed Issues
Last Ship Standing
When enough rivals are found, crews surfacing from beneath the waves should no longer experience a stuck loading screen that prevents them from joining the battle. (Released previously as part of an interim update.)
Known Issues
Last Ship Standing – Waiting for Battle
While travelling beneath the waves waiting for a Last Ship Standing battle, players may experience rubberbanding when moving around their ship. The team are aware of the issue and working to address it as part of a follow-up update.
While waiting for a Last Ship Standing battle, crews are currently prevented from loading cannons and interacting with the ship’s Ammo Crates. This is not consistent with Faction Battles and will be addressed as part of a follow-up update.
Last Ship Standing – Quick Requeue
Following a Last Ship Standing battle, the ability to requeue into the next fight has been temporarily disabled to address instability. The team are aware of the issue and working to address and return this feature as part of a follow-up update.
