i cant even get a commander to spawn on a level 9 purge. last night me and my friend were mindlessly killing hundreds of enemies for over 40 minutes! no commander. so many enemies flooded my base that the lag made the game completely unplayable and i had to reset my server to force end the purge.

the AI needs a complete overhaul. purge enemies with melee weapons will run around in circles as they try to figure out a way to get to archers that are above them on walls shooting them. they cant get up there, its impossible, so they either stand there and do nothing, or run back and fourth. either no battering ram guys spawn, or so many spawn that your doors fold like paper.

dying during a purge may as well be a game over. when you respawn, everything, and i mean everything, takes forever to load in. doors are invisible and cant be opened or ran through. enemies are invisible and will swarm you and you cant fight back.

the new combat changes in chapter 2 make it utterly impossible to fight several enemies at once. if you get tapped at all, at any point in your attack combo, you immediately stop attacking, get staggered, and have to start the combo all over again. i aggroed a pack of 15 guys and it was physically impossible to fight them. i get off 1 attack, get hit, staggered, swarmed, body blocked, dead. before chapter 2, you were able to eat some hits while doing a combo, so you were actually able to get attacks in. now you cant, but surprise, the enemy NPC’s attacks will not be interrupted upon being hit. they will just keep attacking right through your attacks.
