We ran a SG member's arc Tuesday night. We had a lot of fun but some folks had to leave early so we decided to meet up the next night to finish it.
Apparently the author went in and made some tweaks to the missions we had already run to correct some issues we had found. I have done this myself while in the middle of an arc so I don't think this would be an issue.
We got together last night and jumped into the datastream. The enemies were all orange to me but I knew one of the members was a level higher than me so I didn't think much of it. While we were fighting the first group my targeting finally rested on the lone survivor... a level 40 avalanche shaman. The team was level 25-28. It was not pretty. After many minutes of people dying and no progress made in defeating the shaman we all made for the mission exit and escaped.
One of the members logged off and brought in a level 42 scrapper. We figured he would deal with the abberation and then accept an exemplar for the rest of the mission.
Once everyone was ready, we stepped into the datastream again. Only 3 of us made it into the mission. The new scrapper, myself, and our tank. Everyone else dropped from the team roster including the author. My wife was stuck on the loading screen and had to use the Task Manager to kill COH. The three of us exited and we could see the other 5 member's names hovering in the air along the stream.
We tried 2 more times. Every time most of the team would drop. Those that remained didn't always go into the same instance of the mission. When my wife did manage to make it into a mission her mouse had stopped moving (she could still click).
We sadly quit the arc and most everyone left. The author rearranged her missions and what was left of the team restarted the arc and ran that mission fine without any issues.
Has anyone else seen similar problems? Mission enemies spawning much higher (in our case 12 levels higher) than the party, going into different instances, or dropping trying to enter a mission?
Do you think it was caused by modifying the arc between sessions (I've done this so I don't think so) or because we waited a day?
