Longbow Ambushes?
[ QUOTE ]
Last night I was running the Mayhem missions for Atlas and Kings. I ran each of them twice to make sure and the second time through I purposely ran through every Longbow spawn point on the maps. Not a single Longbow called out "Stop in the name of Longbow!"or appeared to fight.
I also noticed that approaching the Vault door no longer seems to spawn the 3 wave ambush that usually happens there. Nothing, complete and utter silence until the door was busted and the money was grabbed, at which point the Hero and his/her team spawned as normal.
My questions are...
How high does this change go?
Did anyone else run Mayhem missions last night at any level?
Did you also notice the lack of ambushes?
Is this a cross the levels change or limited to just low level Mayhems?

Known issue. If you happen to run into a Mayhem that is incompletable because the Paragon Hero doesn't spawn, please put in a specific /bug report; I think those have all been fixed now. (They actually put in a fix for the Longbow too, but it didn't take.)
The ambushes for side missions will sometimes show up; most times not. If you are truly bereft and lost without any Longbow in your Mayhem, I believe the Flying spawn points still work for all of the maps.
I haven't had a hero come up missing yet. I did get the normal ambushes for the Weapon Raid and Jewel Heist side missions. There are no flying Longbow spawns in Atlas or Kings.
If this is known as a bug that good enough. I just didn't see it on the list, so I thought I should mention it.
I thought it might have been intended to make Mayhems more like Safeguards, which is sort of how it works out. A villain team can now run straight to the bank pound some guards and be done is about the same time as a hero group with it like this.
With the Longbow it is more of a challenge is all.

Hmm, I don't mind the lack of safe door ambushes, but the rest I'd like to see returned.

I ran the Steel Canyon Mayhem last night, and indeed, the Longbow Ambushes were missing. None from roaming around the map, none from triggering alarms in the snatch and grab, none from the vault door. The Hero and team did spawn however.
