    And are you by any means playing on PC?

    So much this. I'd like to know which ummm person came up with this. Are my signature weapons scared by the named enemies? Can my weapons really be so emotional as to deal less damage to those specific enemies?

Their ability to slide sideways puts James Brown to shame. In other words, it's a tough row to hoe...

    Yeah I noticed this too in the expansion. Not sure what thats about, but it makes combat a chore.

    This has actually been the case since just after launch of Div 2. Signature weapons are pretty useless when you actually need them. Except grenade launcher because well AoE and BOOM lol

    I think it's the former. I used the lock-on launcher with full 6 ticks on a boss standing in the open and 4 of the missiles seemed to fly up to him and then just **** off at the last second, as if they were losing a game of chicken.

    Dude. I literally say at the end "I get that we can't have the game without it being a bit spongy" I'm not saying make it call of duty or far cry 5. Drop your elitist attitude and read the post first next time.

    Oh, so you too have been killed by accidentally setting off an enemy weak point in a close range fight, only to have them run away?

    I pre ordered WONY and had high hopes I'd play at least 500 ~ 600 hours again (I'm at 1050 hours before stop playing past year). Played one single day and that 1.3 feeling was back. As a mainly solo player I'll not go through that BS again.

    Every single one in here wanted more challenge, more content; instead we get an alien AI from Krypton. Massive probably won't care, they got tons of money from us again, so yeah, this game is heading quickly to a death sentence, which is a true shame after all the hype.
