I'm guessing this. I never see any of my non-placed-bosses when I'm solo testing my stories (which I do at baby setting to make it quick). I don't think I saw a boss when I was set at difficulty 4 either.
I think you have to have numbers on your side to get them.
Put optional boss encounters in your mission. You'll want to do this anyway, since most players will solo your arcs and won't get to see your custom bosses otherwise.
Issue 16 made me feel like this.

Yep. Bosses do not normally spawn for solo characters, regardless of difficulty setting.

I'm not sure what's going on, without specifically putting in 'boss' encounters I can't get regular old bosses from my custom group to spawn during my missions. To elaborate, my enemy group consists of four types of minions, then four types of lieutenants, and then four types of bosses, but I cannot get anything but lieutenants and minions to spawn for the mission. What am I doing wrong?

I think you have to use boss encounters to get them to spawn at all. And, on 'heroic' they will only spawn as Lts.

what setting do they need to be to spawn equal level bosses?
i was toying around with an arc last night. I chose boss only, and had my settings on heroic. The boss spawned as a LT. I then put it on invincible, and they spawned as bosses two levels higher than me. I did not play with the other difficulty settings, but i thought id mention it because of this thread.
3-man challenge level 3?
and also bosses WILL spawn for solo characters at challenge level 2 and up in all other non-AE content. (Which would indicate to me that if the person playing my arc is on challenge level 1 they probably wouldn't like 4-8 bosses put in by hand)
Tenacious level (2) will spawn bosses as opposed to Lts. I only have one toon that I raised up, just to see how hard the custom boss was as a boss, so I don't have a lot exp in playing at that diff setting. I think he was the same level as me but conned as yellow, IIRC. (on a tank, if that matters)

So can anyone confirm for me that they've run their own mission that has bosses (and at least one type of minion and one type of lieutenant, not just bosses) either themselves or with friends and got bosses among the normal spawns without 'add mission objective: boss fight'? This is really perplexing me. It's starting to seem that, like one of the other posters stated, bosses don't spawn with regular mobs in AE, or at least with custom groups..
Bosses will not show up for a group of less than 3, unless they are a manually placed encounter.
Bosses encountered by a solo player on difficulty setting 1 will be downgraded to Lts. Two or more on Heroic/Villainous, or solo on Diff 2 or higher allows bosses to spawn as bosses.
The more people in the group, the more bosses will spawn. 2-3 bosses per spawn is not uncommon on 8-man teams.
This is all true for both regular and MA content.

i got my mission to work. Even level bosses spawned when i was solo at challenge level 2, plus 1 bosses at challenge 3, and +2 bosses at challenge level 5 (didn't try level 4). I only placed bosses in the mission.
I find it to be challenging playing solo. Pretty good XP, although defeating the map takes a VERY long time.
Hmm... now that's super confusing, I ran mine alone on challenge level 5, and in a group of 3 on challenge level 3 for the entire nearly hour-long mission and nadda... wonder what's going on for me. :/
