What is with the shadow stalker that appears after you kill a barrack or dungeon final boss?

I'll be at 1/2 health, then I see a message about something spawning in, sometimes called the shadow stalker, maybe shadow companion, or shadow hunters. At least one is level 50 and seldom alone. Has killed me every time except when I managed to escape. They also don't stop attacking when you feign death. Seems to have started when I hit level 45.

Seems random, like every 3rd time or so. Really annoying to deal with. Any ideas?

Will this just be my fate from now on, or will it stop when I hit level 50?

This is about to make me quit playing.

you can deactivate this in server settings if you're on your own server or single player

I found a different server that doesn't have this setting on.

So someone told me, it is actually two settings: "there are two toggles in the coefficients page called 'Boss death event' and 'Ruins chest opening event'. Those are switched off by default, but the server owner can enable these".

I got a bunch of weird messages about like "the shadow blade has appeared in *COORDINATES*" or something like that while raiding a barrack...no idea what this is tho.

Ya, saw that in the same update I think that added this feature that I don't like. Those events kind of make sense. For someone that wants a challenge they can try and find it and kill it. The ones I mention are ones that find you and kill you. I suspect very few like to be surprised this way or are prepared for it.
