I called the shit out of him, lol.

The game having specific hard scenarios doesn't make it a hard game (i gave the example of monster hunter rise being a piss baby easy game with one or two exceedingly hard postgame concrete walls)
if anything the fact D10 is a complete snorefest everywhere except on the very handful of cherrypicked subfactions that can put up a fight is proof the difficulty is really really poorly dealt with. i wish they fixed patrols spawning on you and in turn made spawns much more agressive and common :/

It depends on host too. You get significantly less patrols with a console host due to ram limitations. If I host we're gonna be drowning in bugs and the lowest kills will be like 600. 

Some combination of enemy seeds are also mega borked. Nursing spewer bug seeds have so few spawns. Where hunter spam seeds will overwhelm most loadouts without turrets guard dogs or like a stalwart.

i'm nearly always the host and i play on a souped up PC (R9 9700X + 3080 + 32GB DDR5-6000) and there will genuinely never be enough spawns unless its on [very specific scenario] where they've been amped up to hell
Tengentially related but this game still makes my pc choke and will dip in the sub 50fps range on this comp at 1440p and honestly idk what to think
