[Spoiler] This is explained in the ingame story, but I cannot recall exactly when or by whom. But essentially the Lost are ordinary humans being changed into Rikti, so as the story progresses they become more and more Rikti-like until finally becoming Rikti [/spoiler]

What Icelock said and after you hit a certain level, Lost mobs are replaced with Rikti ones.
Rabbits & Hares:Blue (Mind/Emp Controller)Maroon (Rad/Thermal Corruptor)and one of each AT all at 50

Yup, at level 30 apart from the odd boss/named individual.
Octavian Vanguard

Badging character: Bimble on the Union server, Badgehunter.com and City Info Tracker.
Hmmm, well it was a little bit before 30. But close enough I guess. Oh well in that case bye bye nice and squishy Lost. Hello Rikti who have great resistance against my main attack powers and hello fateweaver so I can lower my rep to yawning for them.
Lost and rikti are one faction. You get lost spawning up to 29, rikti spawning from 30+. There are a few exeptions, such as named bosses and quantum gunners.
Note that this means that you can get rikti inlevel 26 missions if you are playing on the higest difficulty.
I really should do something about this signature.
Yep, thats what happened to me. Playing on highest. Encountered Rikti instead of Lost and got slaughtered. Rikti hit hard and got good armour against my attacks.
I find this a shame though. I know of the rikti/lost connection but when i encounter rikti instead of Lost then I want my toon (and the contact) screeching in terror for they have come back etc. The midnight squad missions are a good example of how this connection should be played out. This isn't satisfying. Roleplay wise and gaming wise for I will have to leave the map and talk to the fateweaver.
lately whenever I am doing a CoV mission (for example the arc of Lt. Demitrovitch on Nerva) I get send into the sewers to take out some Lost. But instead of encountering Lost I encounter Rikti more Rikti even more Rikti one or two Lost and more Rikti. Only the targets of the missions are in fact Lost.
Now this is annoying. I like beating up Lost, I dont have any problems with beating up Rikti of course (even if they are much tougher then the Lost) but only when i get Vangaurd Merits. I am not a charity!
So I am wondering, is this meant to be or do they have their databases a bit mixed up? I hope the latter because I miss the Lost as a nice fun villain group.
