Supposed to hit unshielded level 7 EP boss with the Sword. I did just that, well over 100 times. Joined a farming group and just spent over an hour on it, didn't progress at all. Boss was unshielded, and I used every attack possible with the sword on him, so it should've counted. I heard that you only get a CHANCE to progress the Catalyst, and that you have to keep hitting him until it procs. Well, it didn't. It took over an hour, and over at least 1000 dead Hive to reach the boss for each attempt. He has a one-shot ground pound he LOVES to spam, so actually attacking hin was [i]really[/i] fun, yet despite that, after killing him no less than 5 times, exhausting my entire ammo supply at least 5 times, then getting more and continuing, the Catalyst had not progressed in the slightest. Just make it so you have to Tesseract the boss to get the progress! Don't give us this RNG bullshit!
