@EA_Blueberry it's too easy to win as shadows and too difficult to win as legends.
@VeIottaIt’s not. It’s 20 v. 10 at the end, or whatever the numbers are: just like in a zombie movie the humans are outnumbered by the undead: it’s supposed to be easier to win as a shadow and harder as a legend BECAUSE MATH.
- @Professor_Doggy That's exactly my point... what's your problem?
- @VeIotta So what you should have written is, "it's exactly as difficult as it should be", but you didn't write that, did you?
@Professor_Doggy
That's incorrect.
It's not 50 v 10
It's 20 vs 10. At the end.
Fight or Fright lobby is only 30 players total.Also give 100 hp to shadows way to weak till you mass up even then if ppl team up before last 10 its game over
It's actually quite easy to win as a legend if you use your brain a bit, already won twice, and it's not that easy to win with a shadow and shadow dmg is perfectly fine...I seen every possible legend getting in that ship, it's all about strategy, situation awareness, getting proper equipment by killing other legends, and always being on the move because every-kill is showed on the map.
I love this event.- @PrimeAthiest83 I agree and disagree. The event is good and I enjoy strategy but the shadows play dirty... At the last 10 people they camp at the escape route making it practically impossible to get near the ship without being ganged up on.
- @GEEKYWARRI0R The game has been live for what, one day? In the coming days game play style will evolve. I won as a Legend last night and all 10 Legends escaped. Instead of it being 10 Pathfinders, we had a mix - and all of them were using different abilities/ults to get us out. I rode a zip line with a Pathfinder, Wattson set up a fence around the evac zone, Bangalore threw smoke, and Caustic put Nox canisters around the evac and then threw his ultimate. The more variety of Legend the easier it is. I think everyone gravitated to Pathfinder right away because the zip line into the evac. Beyond that, shadows can use zip lines too and they can run straight up walls, so the advantage Pathfinder has by being up high is greatly diminished. As a shadow, the most fun I had was teaming up on a Wattson who had bunkered down within a building and used fences to continually pick off shadows. I also saw a Caustic roast a dozen Shadows, me twice, by bunkering in the room that overhangs the canyon looking down at Containment.
The problem is your logic is flawed. Zombies are weak but numerous, while the shadows are strong but numerous. So it's not the same at all. Your gun is rendered a non advantage by their speed and your armor and health are rendered a non advantage by their damage. So the shadoes have literally every advantage afforded them without any counter balance for Legends
@DacendarinZombies in pretty much every instance only need one bite to kill a human. Some just have to bleed on a human to infect them. That’s pretty strong, not weak. Shadows die with 1 or 2 shots, that’s pretty weak. The point is it is supposed to be hard to win as a Legend. It’s not supposed to be “balanced”. It’s around for 3 weeks, just enjoy it while you can, everyone.
I think the balance is near perfect. When I did finally get my first win as a legend (on day one, with Bangalore) it felt pretty rewarding. And on that win I think 7 legends made it out, cause we worked towards each other had some good timing and teamwork.
Give shadows 100hp or remove the purple and golden armors and helmets. 🙂 Its quite impossible to kill a guy with gold or purple if your shadow teammates abandon the round...
I just hope that Respawn doesn't read this * forum because it would make them hate their "customers". * cry babies. If you don't cry that you have to pay for cosmetics for this otherwise 100% free game, you cry because it's too hard because it won't let you win all the time. Geez.
And btw, to answer the topic: I've only played this mode 3 times and won as legend 2 of those and lost the third because I missed the evacuation I.e my fault. The only reason why legends doesn't win every single time is because it's hard to cooperate with 9 strangers. You lose because top 10 tries to camp the evacuation zone too early and gets picked off one by one. A 20 shadows vs 10 legends will always favor the legends
Did the Legends get a buff or Shadows a nerf yesterday? I kept having to hit Legends 3 times as a Shadow to kill them. Kept downing them instead of outright killing them, and they weren't wearing gold armor.
Also noticed that if you are a Shadow and you get killed after the Legends are down to 10, it won't let you respawn, so a lot of players probably leave at that point instead of watching the next few minutes instead of playing. Last night we finished with 19 total players in one match, but the numbers significantly dropped off after the Final 10.
I've only escaped once so far, which seems about right.
EDIT: I just realized this is wrong. If you are a Legend and get killed during the Final 10 evac period, you can't respawn, but as a Shadow, you keep respawning until the Evac Ship flies away. So, I think the original complaint about people quitting because they don't want to play as Shadows is looking 100% correct now.
