Shadows swarming evac ship

Give me a break, CLEARLY this game mode was not tested one single second.  They are two shot killers and you expect us to run through an army of them and then defend ourselves on the ship if we somehow make it?

HUGE HALLOWEEN FAIL.

P.S. Me and my buddy got a chuckle seeing the quest to evac 25 times.  ROFL.  Smoke crack more.

  • Dude the shadows actually need a buff. Ive played about 20 games and shadows have only won 3 times. That's not very even odds. It's almost balanced but the shadows need some kind of buff. Not a damage or speed buff but thry need some way to get more health. Because they almost never win. Especially since only 1 legend needs to get on the ship to win.

  • While they are two shot killers, they start at like 1 hp.  So they have to hit you twice, you have to hit them once.  As for defending yourself on the ship, well, 90% of the time I can't get INTO the ship as a shadow.  I'm assuming other legends have this issue, aside from pathfinder.  Really Shadowfall should be renamed Pathfinderwins.

  • @Dr_X-File What they should have done instead of solos mode, they should have made it a duos mode so you can coordinate with someone at the end at least. you get 10 allies that will just leave you to die cuz its so stacked against you, plus no team coordination makes surviving as a legend almost impossible.

    I'd say don't let the shadows know the direct area of the landing site. maybe a general blue loot area zone and they would have to actually visually find the evac ship to swarm it. Right now they know where the ship area is dropping from a visual queue, they would have a more difficult time with a minimap notifier instead, or even a compass notifier where they just follow the light to where the ship evac would be in that 90 second window.

  • I'm tired of this... Impossible to win as Lifeline. Come on, really? Make shadows damage 90 only and increase time between respawn like a shadow. 20 shadows now it's like infinite shadows with instantly respawn and land in 15 seconds... for Pathfinder is really easy. But for other legends? Ok, caustic have traps and gas, wattson fences, octane jumpad and speed.. mirage get invisible, wraith can faze away.. but LIFELINE, CRYPTO, BANGALORE, GIBRALTAR, BLOODHOUND how can they win ? How can protect as lifeline to get on the ship? I'm sad because I love this Kings Canyon right now.

    maybe even adding just simple collision and friendly fire for shadows so they actually have to be more careful where they punch and run with others. adding penalties for everytime you kill a shadow as a shadow. nerf their gameplay a bit more to influence teamwork rather than all out mayhem.

    @Donnys1095 eh, actually the respawn time as shadows is fine. It is the fact that they randomly respawn anywhere above the map that sucks. Sometimes you respawn as a shadow only to find out you're on the far side of the map from the action and you have to glide there, which takes ages. I do agree with you that this mode is SUPER unbalanced towards pathfinder though.
