1. When you die as a shadow, hitting space asks you to leave. I have closed apex for the day because of this really annoying promt
2. OMG fix teh server lag, the rubber banding and the amount of times I have hit a player only to be dead to a bullet that came a second after the sound of the hit and no damage prompt to apear, this is also a major issue with rubber banding, a shadow will be running to a tree and all of the sudden be 5 feet back turing direction. (Note: I just updated my PC with new hardware and have never had an issue in any other FPS or online game with latency or lag, only apex legends)
3. Being able to be killed through walls, this has happened way to many times that Ive seen or been killed through a soild wall by a shadow or through a window that has glass in it.
4. Not having the option to pre-preemptively choose to be a shadow and on thos elines, making it so when you die you spawn on the exaclt opposite end of the map as the entire living team and having to speed 40 seconds flying across the map because the ship only few past the left half of the map and you were spawned at the swap and nobody landed withing 1/4 of the map from you.
5. Teaming, If you are going to allow players to enter que together, let them be on a team and somehow make it known. I cant tell you how many times Ive been in a 2-5v1 right off the bat because a team drops right on me and they continue the game all together.
6. Allowing Pathfinder to put an Zipline (Ultimate) from a far distance away onto the ship.... like I do it a lot but you should not be able to zipline over all of the shadows because the ship counts as an object to Zipline onto. The ship would be damaged or the grapple wouldnt be able to stick and its a cheap strat that kinda make the game easy and boring as pathfinder.
7. The red ash that falls from your shadow as you descend is easily confused for the red of a player from a far distance, this has gotten me multiple times and next thing I know im running for 5 min just to get to a player because I thought I saw a red outline but it was just ash that was on teh screen.
8. Change the supply ship incoming and the supply ship leaving text so that they are different colors or ANYWAY to distinguish the difference between the two. I have had to some conversations with other legends as we get left bechind because we though that was the timer for the ship arriving and not leaving because it is veeeerrrrrryyyy unclear when your pancaking and trying not to die.
9. Wraths Dimensional Rift, when it is placed directly under the ship as it arrives it can teleport you away from the ship, and back under the ship but not on the ship. You cannot be killed by the shadows but can kill them and it counts as a win. Kinda a bug that should have ben caught its a basic strat for a group when you have a wraith.
10. If and error happenes or if you restart or go afk to long the menue option for what gamemode you want to play changes automatically back to the default regular map. I have left soooo many groups with only 2 as I didnt notice that it changed from the shadow gamemode.
I only came back to Apex for this event as I always love the zombie pvp gameplay but some of these issues have caused me to just close the game for the day and not want to play for a while so i wanted to pass on this information.

In my opinion this game mode is just poorly done and not any fun at all, it promotes camping the ring needs to close in quicker. And I also don't see why the survivors get to see eachother cross map but the shadows don't get to see their teammates. Furthermore I don't think Pathfinder should be allowed in a game mode where one side is forced to melee as their only means of damage since he can reach heights that shadows can't even hope to. I played a few matches with him and honestly to me it just feels like cheating. I want to complete all the challenges for this event but honestly I would rather do anything other than play this game mode. I feel like the number of kills you need on the shadows is too steep given the fact that you can only get shadow kills as a survivor and there aren't a lot of shadows to kill until later in the game. Not to mention shooting at the shadows gives you away to both more shadows and the other survivors putting a target on you. Sorry I wrote so much but I am very displeased with this game mode I just want to complete these stupid challenges and get back to enjoying regular Apex.
