Last Ship Standing - Is no one playing?

Everyone had there fun, commendations are done
And seems LSS didn’t hold up the hype.

Funny the things players want turn out to be not worth it.

• Just going off what others are posting.

I've not had any problems getting a match in NA/EU in duo queues. 5-10 mins queue. 5-20 min matches.

Could also be a bug. To workaround, u might need to scuttle and change seas or leave game and set sail again.

Funny how the things players didnt want, turn out to be not worth it, is a better description for whats happening.
In addition to that its buggy and even the things that do work, have not been implemented properly.
The concept of the mode in generall is flawed, at least if you want the average player to enjoy it.

At this point revamping the Arena would have been a better choice, as it is a more thought out version of Last Ship Staning, has more cosmetics, it would revive some unobtainable xbox achievements making 100% achievable again and they couldve also made it timelimited each month this time.
Plus thats what many players actually wanted to have.

Everytime I've tried to queue for Last Ship Standing I get kicked out 30 seconds after the initial dive and get an error, "An opponent could not be found." and essentially to try again. I've logged out several times on different servers and I just can't seem to get a match. Tried both Reapers and Athena's with the same result. Is the queue bugged or is literally no one playing this solo?

Not really, I think its just quiet at your specific region atm.

It's pretty popular in OCE and people loved the mode (minus the stupid bugs and forcing people to leave in 30 seconds when winning issue)

People who said otherwise are just a vocal minority.

Myself and my peeps haven't touched it at all, probably won't bother by the looks of things. I'm getting asked about joining Subnautica 2 a lot.

I share the opinion that Arena revival would have probably been better based on the mixed reviews I've been seeing about LSS. I don't even like HG that much, just did it to get the skelly curse, the obsidian bones, the arrow mohawk, the ghost curse and the mysterious stranger's jacket. That's all. HG itself is so 2 dimensional and dull win or lose.

@soloventure6142 LSS is a blast. Don't listen to the few complaining about it but who've not actually tried it. It's surprisingly a great mode, albeit it has a few flaws that will be fixed... and it's only here a month, so why not try it once or twice? To caveat, I have a buddy who hates PVP and HG, and always rages when we try it, but we did three days of LSS so far and he's happy and saying how chill and fun it is. Just don't take it seriously and the mode is a blast!

@thamb0

We'll see. I do enjoy a bit of PVP but I'm not convinced LSS is worth it. I do agree that it's better when you don't take these modes seriously and just have fun win or lose!

@xdreegan

I'm a veteran Arena advocate 😂

I have been only playing LSS since it started. I really enjoy it kinda like a sloop chess match. It would seem that the time of day in your time zone makes a difference for the time it takes to get players in the arena. Weekdays during normal working hours are slow to get matched. Not bad in the evening or weekends.

@soloventure6142 I started playing SOT at the tail end of season 6 never experienced the arena is LSS kinda the same ?

@ribeyerare2820

The only similarity between arena and LSS that I can discern is that it's multiple sloops, all against all.

Arena was different and better and here is why:

Arena was 5 ships all against all.

Everyone had exactly the same supplies.

Galleon and sloop ship types were available in arena. ( It was before the brigantine arrived in the game.)

In arena every player accumulated a score through PVP, landing shots etc. and this would count towards your silver score. The player with the most silver by the end of the match won. A match was 15 minutes.

If you sunk, you would respawn but would lose 1000 silver which would effect your placement. 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th.

There was a capture the flag mechanic where everyone received a map to a treasure chest to dig up, deliver and sell for a silver boost, 150 silver for digging it up 1000 for cashing in. Later a purple beam of light was added to treasure chests to easily see where the chest was or who it was with. There were multiple different floats with NPC's dotted around to deliver chests to and there were mounted cannons in those floats to defend from incoming ships.

There was the sea dogs tavern, a cool social space that would serve as a lobby to wait in for the match to begin.

There were arena themed cosmetics to earn from playing and performing well in Arena that worked very well for the SOT world & theme.

Arena was it.

Arena was 5 ships all against all.

Majority of my matches it wasn't, it was teams.

In arena every player accumulated a score through PVP, landing shots etc. and this would count towards your silver score. The player with the most silver by the end of the match won.

"Crew with most silver"
it was a point game. Easyly cheesed and broken by team matching. Nobody played normally.

If you sunk, you would respawn but would lose 1000 silver which would effect your placement. 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th.

Rarely did anyone score above 1000; everyone tried to tie it up or shook hands in agreement to switch places so everyone won. Unless you were the black sheep who gun for the Chest (which everyone avoided), you got blocked by your own team and remaining crews would just hold the chest from being turned in. The daily match wasn't fun.

There was the sea dogs tavern, a cool social space that would serve as a lobby to wait in for the match to begin.

The only good and perfect thing about it. besides the open mic nonsense.

cosmetics to earn from playing and performing well in Arena that worked very well for the SOT world & theme.

Like I said, players didn't care about the match or game itself. They seized the wins so everyone unlocked everything. If you tried to play how it was designed, you always lost. Majority Rules.

is LastShipStanding kinda the same ?

No, it fresh off the shipwreck and still a WIP.
It does what it says, PvP with multiple ships. If you played hourglass, it's the equivalent of having a third party join against your 1v1 match.
If you go in prepared, you will be top dog you are.

Last Ship offers you a free playstyle much like Hourglass. Arena, you had to play by everyone's rules.
