I know that you can sprint away from the shadelings, I've done as much myself. The traps I encountered were not visible due to the blue fog and even then I saw no indicator that they were there. The mushrooms? I can see those. Bone cage traps? See those too. Field of bear traps on the other side of something that obscures my vision? Little bit difficult to see. I really don't want it to come off as petulant whining here because I love the rest of the event after the forest. My only problem is that it feels like killing things takes a little too long but I chalk that up to a mix of being scaled up to 50 and not having experience with what PvE combat is like at 50. I am willing to put a lot of time and effort into doing and obtaining what I want. I am not willing to repeatedly slog through content that deliberately wastes my time and that is what the forest section of the Shade's Eve expedition feels like to me.

You aren't wrong in your feelings - a lot of people felt the same way on the PTR. In a PUG, it's mind-bendingly difficult. Last night I saw five people come in and out of my group, and that's WITH /i notices about the countdown and requests for patience. Frankly. there are too many shadelings for the number of flares, and the cache boxes aren't really helpful because it's one more thing to go hunt for in the dark. The timer is too long. Were it my design, it would be a 30s countdown until they system prompts a vote "Ask the Angel for help?". Yes wins = insta-light. Also, the Angel's light should repel shadelings and illuminate traps.

I am so in agreement here. This stage makes me so annoyed, I have punched my desk in frustration. I think the reason it is so frustrating for so many of us is that there are too many annoying elements. You walk around in the dark, you have no map, you are chased by shadelings, there are too many of them, if they catch you you have to hunt around for that one human to get you back to normal, there are limited things to help you, often the coffins will be empty, there are traps all around hidden in the darkness, the weird clouds that you can't seem to walk normally through, and finally the overall maze-like layout of the area. It all just adds up to frustration for me. I don't doubt that there are people who love it, but I'm not one of them. I do it once a day because of the quest, so that I'll at least be able to amass some seasonal currency (considering the daily quest give only 5 each) but I can't imagine doing any more than that. I dread haing to run it again tomorrow. Don't get me wrong. I love everything else. Yes, there have been some problems with hunting down stuff for the dailies but I don't really mind to be honest. This is what has been sucking the fun out of the event for me..
