I15 Completely and Totally Bugged my Arcs

So. I came back to check out issue 15 with my kid brother, and the first thing that I wanted to do was go in and show him the missions that I had created.

They were polished to a mirror shine beforehand, and I had run countless tests with others, ensuring that it was perfect (or as perfect as I can make it). The arc has gotten quite a bit of good feedback, so i'm assuming that things were well and good.

In coming back, we loaded up the mission arc, and started to run it... there was nothing but problems with it.

~If you are lower level than the mobs present in the mission, the mobs won't spawn at all. This will sometimes leave the map empty and auto complete the mission.
~If you try to set the scaling so that anyone from 1-50 can run it, it will still make all the boss mobs and what not the level that they were preset to be. So if you select a level 46 boss, it won't scale down to 20, thus wiping the entire group pretty near instantly.
~It wiped out all my custom animations. I had to go back and fix every last one of them.
~You can't set "Stair stepped" collections without it bugging and saying that you are forming an endless circle, even though i'm not doing that.
~Allies often get "stuck" and don't do anything. They will stand there without attacking. This is particularly annoying if your mission is set up so that you can have the ally help you kill a difficult boss, even solo.

I'm afraid to check out my other mission to see what is broken, though it's far more complex than the one we recently ran.

This kind of stuff REALLY hampers the experience. A lot of arcs that were fine before this update? Now probably aren't.

Such is the nature of these things. Every time there's a major update, you have to go in to your arc(s) and make sure it works again. Preferably after reading the patch notes.
