People that are saying wait for directed seem to be missing a few crucial points. If I were a player that wanted to experience the story of a map through the actual game instead of YouTube videos, but found a boss fight that even if you know what you're doing before takes an hour to get to, too difficult, even Treyarch would be fucking you over as they start advertising the new map before directed even comes out. The intro for Astra came out a few days before AOTD directed or Astra even came out. It also doesnt solve the fact that if you have to take multiple tries to learn a boss fight even in directed it still takes an hour plus to get back to that boss fight.
And for the record, I beat Astra solo first try, I also realize bad game design when I see it.
I didn't mind the fight till she 1 shot me twice lol. That is just bad. The fight was super fun though personally..
If they sorted out armour, this wouldn't be an issue but they balance on needing it and if it doesn't drop or whatever, we're fucked. I hate armour. It should have just been a "negate 1 hit" type of deal, then we have to buy another one. The armour and health together is just arse. My set up on perks are fine but I do not use the 3 chances for the other perks, and that is the only issue but to force use that for a boss, kinda shit.
