Progression is still awful, and melee headshot hit registration is still broken

There is still way too much grind in terms of contracts and crafting material, this is a great way to discourage people from playing the game at all. This is probably why 95% of the players have left. It’s either that or the terrible optimization.

Melee headshot hit registration is still broken. Aiming directly for the head has maybe a 50% chance of giving you headshot damage. So I end up having to hit the same basic enemy over and over again to kill it. Please fix this.

Headshot registration is a funny thing. On some weapons (like the mk v combat axe) it is nearly impossible to hit anything else but the head, while on others (especially the light axe heavy attack) i regularily miss the head even though it looks like i should have hit.

Best strategy I have found is to aim way above the head and that usually headshot hits, its bizarre.
