I've been working on the Lone Wolf challenge today. All I have left is 4 Bronze solos to go. I just decided to Unknown/Unknown it and got Collectors. I just got Instakilled INSTANTLY by a Praetorian after losing about 2800 shields and most of my health from a Scion's 3 shot burst on a Wave 10 Escort. To put this into perspective, with consumables I can tank 2 Primes, a bunch of Pyros and Rocket Troopers and Geth Turrets ALL AT THE SAME TIME. One Scion drops my shields instantly. On Goddamn Bronze.

The Banshee has no dangerous long range attack and her standard melee is pretty avoidable. The Warp Ball hurts but it's not a game ender, instead she has an instant sync kill. The Praetorian not only has a deadly long range attack but an instant sync kill AND a stagger locking melee which is impossible to escape without your chosen deity's help.

This is no longer a joke. Fix it, get rid of Collectors from Unknown or give a credit and XP boost for fighting them. Image IPB

Collectors on Bronze are no joke. Very tough to solo.

Yup. Praetorian in the way, Scion offscreen stripped shields and health, no time to rocket because the Praetorian had sync killed me already.

Fix Geth. Then people can complain about the Collectors. But fix Geth first.

Have you played Collectors on Bronze?  There's nothing "Bronze" about it.

Other than they're completely unbalanced compared to the other 3 factions?

i believe you, sir, are in denial

edit: i had a really good team with me for a Silver Collectors run through... wiped on Wave 10.  next we took Cerberus... serious cake walk in comparison.

Tell me, why they would do this?

I hate Phantoms, I think I should get additional credits for killing them because I hate them. Is that how this works?

Geth are more overpowered. Collectors are tough ya but the only thing that needs fixing is the scion.

Collectors are great, bit harder than the rest though.

Can it be that Reapers are the easiest faction now by the way?

No, i'm at fault for failing but that failure wouldn't have came about if I had been fighting another faction. One without the Scion's stupidly overpowered cannon and the Praetorian's instakill hyper turbo.

The fact that Scion's have a sync kill to begin with is rediculous. So lets see, they are as bad as a ravager/prime for shooting, a brute for stun locking in melee, and have the old banshee hands for anything else that feels the need to get close to stop the rediculous shooting, oh, plus the armor of an atlas unless you aim really really well. Oh plus grenades so you can't even take cover to get away from it.

I could handle all that, as long as a melee class could get close to them to stop them from shooting. But they can't cause they'll just get sync killed. It has to many answers for every possible strategy a player could use to mitigate it. I'd be fine if it was a boss mob that only spawned twice on a wave in silver. But it is equivelent to a cerberus guardian or a geth hunter, that's the rediculous part.

Collectors are without a doubt designed to be harder than the other 3 existing factions. Either weaken them so that they're more in line with the other two or give a fitting reward for the increased difficulty.

I am probably in the minority
1. Geth- easiest by far, NO SYNC KILLS, never a problem for me
2. Collectors- next easiest, once you've played them a few times they are not bad
3. Cerberus- I have the worst luck w/phantoms hiding around corners and sync killing me
4. Reapers- toughest, the Banshee wailing always seems to distract me

you had a TGI with stimpacks (i assume the 2800 number is that) on bronze where ammo crates refil a ton of them and failed on an escort? but you beat gold solo's

the chance to get OHK on bronze is like 25% i think as well?

collectors are fine. they are hard but not cheap. seeker swarms suck though. using power classes on collectors can be daunting at times. espciially a vanguard or fury

The other factions have more problems than the Collectors... name Geth stunlocks, Dragoons on ludicrous speed and not enough husks for the Mastery challenge.

Collectors are hard, and not in a cheap Geth type way. They actually provide unique challenges

^Pretty much this.  One Scion managed to strip my Kroguard's shields AND health down to half of a flashing bar in three hits.  On bronze.  That's not because I'm doing it wrong; it's because the Scion is hugely OP.
