You're in the boss arena and the arena infinitely spawns sandworm enemies, you can either trick them into aggroing against the boss or kill them, they leave a pool of caustic blood and if you get the boss to walk into the blood he'll take dots.

The biggest problem is that he has so much fucking HP that it takes something like 10-15 minutes just to be able to hurt him yourself.

Borderlands has a REALLY bad level scaling problem. I'm no expert on game mechanics so I can't explain it to you in detail, but it seems the only way they have of making enemies harder or more durable is to just inflate stats. That means endgame numbers are just ludicrous

The fucking Dragon in PSO can crush you. One of the most hilarious things to ever happen to me playing a co-op game. Had no clue that it could even happen.

>enemy hp: ????

That's less important than a lot of the other problems people have expressed in this thread, but I REALLY FUCKING HATE IT. There's no reason to hide the enemy's health except to be annoying- it doesn't make things harder, it just means the player can't estimate how much time a fight will take.
