Please note that while the Conqueror of the Damned Commendation will account for historical wins in Last Ship Standing, these can only be calculated and added to your Commendation progress following your next LSS win when this Event returns. Our apologies for the lack of clarity!

Apologies for the short notice, but the current Last Ship Standing Event will end at 12pm UTC today due to issues with Cashewbeard and players remaining in matches after sinking. Our team are actively investigating these issues, and we will share an update before the next Event.

We are aware of an issue where the Bilge Rats Weekender challenge list is blank and appears to auto-complete when a pirate logs in. The team are actively investigating this. The image below shows how this parchment should look, showing this Event's challenges:

Following player reports, our team have identified and deployed a fix meaning that players starting sessions on Open Crew Galleons should now set sail without issue, and no longer be at risk of becoming stuck on the Crew Roster screen. Happy sailing!

Sea of Thieves Info & Support @seaofthieves.uk · 04/06/2026

Following investigation, the team found an issue causing crews to become stuck indefinitely in matchmaking tunnels, leading to excessive wait times when diving to Last Ship Standing. We've made improvements behind the scenes in the live game, but are watching the data in case more needs to be done.

Sea of Thieves Info & Support @seaofthieves.uk · 18/04/2026

The team are aware of an issue where the Bilge Rats Weekender challenge list appears to be empty - this is purely a visual bug and tasks can still be completed: see the image below for the list (it's the same for all players). This issue will not be fixed during this Event.

Sea of Thieves is back online, but please note that use of the War Map for diving to Faction battles is temporarily disabled while we work on a solution for the long loading times. Until this is resolved, voting to dive to a battle will see players returned to an Outpost.

Apologies pirates, the Sea of Thieves servers have been taken offline for emergency maintenance to disable Hourglass dives and make further adjustments to the Kraken's spawn rate. We'll let you know as soon as it's safe to set sail again.
