PVE Boss Spawn [Feedback]

PVE

This is gonna be a rant post.
I've played pve tarkov for 500+ hours and pvp for only 20 so I am used to bad bots and everything. But since 1.0 some of my friends bought Tarkov and we've been playing together pve only. We're all older and you can imagine why we play pve.(we are bad)
That being said everything in 1.0 feels great (in pve) performance is great 200+fps on all maps with high settings, story task and character skills and base building, online player market etc. Everything is fine and makes new players want to keep playing. But... AI is a big problem still.

Scavs and PMC and even Rogues have okay aim. They are not really dangerous unless you are bad equiped or doing something silly like overpeeking or standing in the open or sometimes they hit a lucky shot you can't even be mad about. But Bosses totally ruin everything. They are at 75-100% spawn and totally ruin the fun for any new player. The fact that you can't turn them off in pve or that they still didn't bother to add a difficulty setting is really something. After all you can pick a difficulty if you use the "training mode" so in theory it should be possible to add it to normal pve as well.

Bosses like Tagilla or Goons really ruin the fun early game. Doing a simple task in woods when out of nowhere you get shot by tracer rounds and 1 guy gets killed and me and buddy run for cover when I get killed looking from where they are shooting... now 3rd friend has to screen share in discord so I can guide him to the next exit. Same with Factory and Tagilla who just runs at you and every new player will be overwhelmed and die.

There is no learning curve in fighting bosses and instantly dying. Every other death they learned something like, should have had more heals or better armor and better ammo. But fighting bosses it felt like...well lets not go to that map again. Not everyone is a pro player and yes this is a skill issue but it's really sad that we still can't change some game related settings in pve for us very casual players. BTW you can in modded pve...

Really hope they can finally give pve some love down the road because it's really bad. But the game is fun still.
