Why do you suppose you can encounter pve enemies that con purple in Bloody Bay? If you know everyone there is 25th level why not limit foes to that approximate range? I would think everything there should con blue-orange... maybe a red boss.

Or are the threat-level colors based on something besides your sk/exemp'd level in BB?

Some areas are more hazardy than others. Look at the map. You'll see yellow, orange, and red shaded borders. The red zones should be +2 to you and the purples are bosses which 'con' +2 to you. 2+2=Purple.

IIRC that is a feature of the vidiot-map-pack, and not in the original game-files. But it's been so long since I logged on a computer without that little patch I honestly can't remember

Nope, it's built-in. I have no map mods installed and my zones are color-coded.

Thanks Zombie, a very logical explanation.

There was a purple-con COT mage that seemed to have kinetic powers standing next to one of the fire base's big guns and he spanked us for interrupting his contemplations. We finally had to send in the stalker to get the gun without disturbing him.
