Tried out this feature, and it’s not bad. I felt the lives were priced reasonably, but I do have some feedback on their usage.
Having it activate when you get caught immediately was ok, but being forced to use a life meant that I didn’t feel like the challenge was there anymore, that the risk of being caught was diminished.
Following that, if my teammates get knocked, but I keep reviving by using lives, I feel that it could become tiresome and boring for them to be stuck watching as I fumble around.
For the first point, it would be nice to be given the option as to if we wanted to use the revive, like the self revive in BR gave us. That way we could decide if we wanted to use it for an easier ghost that we just fell foul of, or something more dangerous.
Secondly, if the choice isn’t able to be implemented, maybe limit the amount of lives that can be used per round, so that the spectators aren’t getting bored of waiting while we revive constantly.
Phantom Investigation is one of my favorite games to play on Fortnite, and so I’d really like to see this feature find a happy medium, because I do think it’s a great addition.
