Anyone else having this bug with their MA arcs?

A bug where bosses do not spawn on teams of 2 or more? For me, it is a reoccuring bug.

Let me explain:
*On my mission, the map is set to the Clockwork King's Lair.

*It has 8 Named bosses, the objective of the map is defeat all 8 bosses.
All the bosses have the following settings:
Placement: Any
Difficulty: Hard
Encounter: Entire Encounter must be completed.

*It has 3 Ambushes and 3 Patrols set.

Now, if you attempt this mission solo, everything plays out correctly.

However I have formed a group to play my arc 3 times, and every time we get to this mission, we are missing 1 or 2 bosses. Now it is a big map, but we literally searched the entire place from top to bottom and they definitely were not there.

So, I decided to run a test with a team of 2 and see if I could get to the bottom of this.

Running through the mission on invincible, I killed 7 of the 8 bosses but the 8th one could not be founded. I used "goto next enemy" and cycled through every enemy on the map. Nothing, he defintely wasn't there. (It has a nice message which tells you once you have gone through them all and must start fromt he start again)

Can anyone help me with this?
Do you think the patrols and ambushes are pushing him out, even though they shouldn't?

None of them are triggered, they should all spawn from the instant you zone in.

I did some testing, removed the ambushes and some of the patrols and it seems to have done the trick. I'm just hoping there isn't a similar problem with the other missions.

It still sounds like you managed to put too many objectives in the mission, but didn't get an error before testing. There are only so many objective spawn points, and for whatever reason, the patrols had a higher priority than the boss spawns.


...I forgot what experience means.
