May we please have more time for the queens to re-spawn in the central hive skirms and a countdown timer from when the last one, dies? I would like at least 20 min to de-shield and kill the levi.

thank you for reading

+1 to making Levi's easier to solo

-1, hundreds of levis if not thousands have been killed before. Leviathans aren't a solo thing unless your that skilled. Even now two people can take the queens and levis in less then 15mins. You want almost a full half hour to kill something solo. No. I don't even like the idea of Any thing along these lines being suggested.

I'm having trouble believing this.
The queens fucking suck they respawn mid attack and they get stuck 4000+ m out etc etc.
Not that I haven't killed plenty easy peasy but I'd rather not even Levi anymore to stressful.

+1 to countdown & 20min respawn time.

Queens got buffed with pcb's recently, it's actually hard for a few players who want to kill leviathan with cap ships.
It would be cool if we can see the countdown timer of queen respawn. And yes after killing 4 queens in central give at least 20min to de-shield Levi.

(Currently, there are same players killing Levi, others don't even want to try that.we are just asking 20min respawn time with the countdown so we can at least leave sector if we fail to deshield it)

Again. 20mins just to deshield a levi? No, +1 to a timer. But levis aren't suppose to be easy. You basically want a end game enemy to be soloable when it's a TEAM effort target. When the queens die it takes at most a minute to get back to the capship, bring it in and set up 2.5k away takes maybe 2mins, stacking takes another minute. And killing it depends on how fast you shoot it. Because it's basically dead when it's deshielded. Also, capships are incapable of taking on a levi unless you have bots driving several other dents like a few players do. And even then it shouldn't be possible. If it takes you 20mins to just try and deshield or attempt too that is on the player, not the time you have to deshield

Levis are not intended to be soloed.
If anything they need to be tougher since some have managed it solo.....

+1 to a timer, -1 to increasing respawn rates. Levi's should never have been easy enough to be soloed in the first place.

Ummm if you take the mission and watch the count you will see exactly when the queens will respawn. When the hive kill the npcs thats when the queens respawn.

+1 for Zok/qubert’s post.
Not asking to make it a solo-able event.
Asking for a timer and some time

As wash says there already is a count down. You need to be in the mission to see the count down.

If you kill the queens right away, you get about 15 minutes to deshield the Levi, which is plenty of time. Three pilots with spam rags can shred it. Even if the queens come back, it won't matter because they won't attack the rags(just keep the Levi's shields down)

I'm pretty sure the Queens respawn multiple times during an active skirmish before respawning for a last time when the skirm ends.

Incorrect. They just respawn once when the mission ends.
Dec 14, 2018 Aryko link
Hmm my bad, guess there's no need for a timer then
Dec 14, 2018 IronLord link
There's no need for this suggestion. This would just make it easier to solo.

We are not asking to nerf Levi or buff weapons, all we are asking is a countdown timer in mission and 20min time to de-shield which I think is fair.

People have to kill all crits before Levi and then 4 queens in Levi sector it took few people around 20-30 min to do that, I know some players managed to do it faster but not everyone can do it, 20min respawn time is not a lot. (I think its fair)
Dec 14, 2018 -Wash- link
if everyone could do it there would be no point in it being in the game as a challenge

Even the top Levi hunters sometimes take more than one cycle to do a Levi. It just goes with the territory. I like to think of it as more queen drops.

Well if the 20minute timer is too much time then give us a 10-15 minute timer at least.
