So imagine my surprise when I try to start up a Manticore TF and find out that with the recent patch to stop people exploiting -1s, that you have level 40 Paragon Protector Elites.

Aren't those a level 40-54 mob only?

They shouldn't be anywhere near a level 30-35 Task Force!

Still here, even after all this time!

They're back again? i guess the latest patch undid the previous fix.
Personally i'm fine with something putting some challenge back into the TF. i found them an entertaining challenge, but i do understand that this could be a serious problem for a team of casual players.

Damn, i can't recall which Dev would be the one to PM about this bug.
Anyone?

Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

I believe the Elites start spawning in the level 35 range missions. Specifically, the Revenant Hero Project story arc. I ran that arc a few times in 2004 and possibly early 2005 with full teams or almost full teams to get the Defeat badge for the Crey Protectors. We regularly spawned Elites, but we mowed them down with little effort.

Of course, that was back when I teamed on a fairly regular basis. So yeah, it's been a while. I also recall soloing in the old RCS and running across PP Elites on rooftops that were in the mid 30's.

So no, they aren't a level 40-54 only mob. Unless something has changed since the RCS went away.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.
