I got 30 hours in the game now, level 30, world setting 1 and 287 GS.

There is maby a lack of hand holding, and poorly explained mission and how stuff works, but i can`t say it is too difficult, usualy when i die, is becouse i messed up rather.
But there is one thing that makes the game seam harder than it is, and its the lack of progression.

What i mean is, ofcourse as you level, the mobs level with you more or less, and i found it fine, it chould be easyer, or id say, mobs in general did less damage, but alas..

but once i hit 30, and doing the black tusk invasion, i was at GS 250 or less, and i just got pwned, now after a few hours, i got 287, and well, alot less so, but i still have
mobs take away all my armour, and half my HP with one skill or another.

I think the bigest issue, for me atleast, is the shere amound of mobs there can be, if you are in a group its easy to deal with, but alone, when you got rushers, and a sniper with one of those foam using guys running around, you will die alot.

But no matter what level i was or my Gearscore is, i can only quote a Outcast normal mob " Feels like my armour is made of paper".

Tough, i do think they got some balancaing issues here and there, but over all, its fairly good.

But so far, i love the game, had over all 2 crashes, no bugs i noticed, runs exellent (PC , DX12 enabled), looks amazing (also might be a slight issue, kinda hard to notice mobs often, darkness, rain etc, but thats fine imo)
