Is that exploitable somehow? I'd love to be able to pick the level for my random rolls, because I have very specific ideas about what level IOs I want, and it's often something that's not the max or min level. But I don't want to argue for something that turns into some kind of exploit. But so far I haven't thought of any.

Is there a rational reason the Devs have set it up this way, or is it more of an oversight?

If this is how the system runs, please just make the difficulty slider apply again, so those of us that like a little bit of a challenge in our TFs can get it. Anybody doing a Master Of run the last few days has had the "exploit" difficulty level hard-coded in, so what's the point?

If I remember correctly, it's counterpart is the TF one, although that also has the costume piece. But it's not available until... 35?

I'd propose, once you outlevel a zone.. instead of a "beneath your notice" message, it should become a mini-taskforce introduction screen which will bring you through a certain number of radio missions (determined by the zone ur in), and ending with the safeguard. Then, you will be able to get whichever one you want, whenever you want, at whatever level you happen to be.

Now THAT's change I can believe in! lol

I have not participated enough in the Deadly Apoc to know if their spawns have level 30 "internal levels".

(all critters that obey the "giant monster coding" have an "internal level" that dictates what level their drops are based off of, and also at what level you start doing more damage against them (at a lower level than the internal level, you do less damage))

** everything else in your two posts, I have no idea/no comment.

As for the issues themselves, the first one I'm not sure about it. Never seen/heard of this issue.

The second issue I have come across. I personally came across this issue in Vista rather than in Windows 7. After some quick research, this seemed to happen as often as the crashing due to the memory leak. If I had played a toon for a long period of time and then tried to alt, the game would crash just shortly after the character allegedly zoned. I was also unable to alt-tab and had to CTRL+ALT+DEL to end the task. A couple of times I had to hard boot the machine. I could pretty much reproduce this issue several times.

I generally lead teams and my mission settings are generally somewhere around +6 heroes equivalent / Bosses / +2 level opponents / Arch Villains

Problem I have been seeing over and over again is that missions will spawn at +2/+3 level opponents (nothing unexpected there), but the AV at the end of the mission will be +5 to me. That gets hideous when you think that for the sidekicks on the team, they are +6 to them. Might as well be shooting spitballs and beating on the AV with a wiffle bat...

I've tried changing the mission settings, etc. but the AV always seems to be spawning at at least 2/3 levels higher than the rest of the mission. This happened on nearly all of the Portal Corps mission arcs (Tina McIntyre, Unai Kemen, etc.) and resulted in me essentially giving up on the arcs. I placed numerous /bug reports and have yet to see any action on it, so I have no idea how widespread the problem may be.

However, the above does state that the named bad guys spawn at the proper level, meaning, going to +1 level makes them way harder for me. But, heck, at least I can still play. Hoping they fix this next week...

I've looked all over the Test Server forums and see nothing about the Oro problems being reported. Can you provide links please Reiska?

edit: What I'm getting at is the definition of "attack" -- does it have to do damage?
