So many mechanisms in this game are broken and are making the game unenjoyable...
Torches have been broken since launch where they just randomly stopped working for no reason. Sometimes they're even broken when you buy them and they don't even work when you start your expedition. So there's no way to stop the enemies from getting back up unless you have like an unlimited supply of lanterns which is not possible.
The cart guy is incredibly unresponsive and he's one of the main aspects of the game where when you blow the horn which alerts the forest you would at least expect the mechanic to work where he would come immediately but most of the time he never even bothers showing up he's just off spinning in a circle somewhere. Among all his other idioces.
Obviously the hitboxes are Beyond terrible... When you're trying to attack things from the back the hick boxes are even worse and don't work at least 70% of the time. The tree people are terrible because of this because the only way to really take them down is from the back and if it doesn't work your weapon gets stuck in them which is ridiculous when you're dealing with another mechanic for a game that's busted but required to progress. I've had an entire expedition loss because nobody could hit the back of the wood guy...
