The server-side dictating your attacks is probably one of the biggest complaints and issues with the game feel right now. It’s a system that feels bad to play with.

Attacks are dictated by the server-side, meaning player attacks can hit an enemy and the server decides whether it hits or not. Leading to a lot of instances of hitting/missing enemies and the server deciding the opposite.

Bump, this is my main issue aswell and should be prioritized!  
I remember my enjoyment in VT2 when they fixed ghost hits almost doubled and i bet it will here aswell.

I KNEW this was happening within some of the games I was playing. Some headshots or weakspot damaging areas wouldn’t register at all which was annoying to deal with when specials were involved.
