Glowie in lava = impossible to complete mission. So far its fixed [though i did only do 5 test runs]

Promotes heroes to use features such as ouroboros more often and also to exemp down more too.

So shouldn't it default to this option then? It doesn't make sense to require that it be set.|

I dunno, smells a bit fishy to me.
Seems like it should default for level 50s no matter what, but otherwise that's how exemplaring has always worked, AFAIK.
Never surrender! Never give up!
Help keep Paragon City alive with the unofficial City of Heroes Tabletop Role Playing Game!

Ran a level 41 character through a level 35 mission in AE (forced with min/max mission level 35). Using Nemesis group running at +1 (x1), no bosses, so Fakes spawn as LTs. Arc #226325.
With XP While Exemplared set to Earn XP I got the following:
Code:
You have defeated Carabineir You gain 974 experience and 681 influence. You have defeated Fake You gain 2,597 experience and 3,116 influence.
Code:
You have defeated Armiger You gain 1,655 influence. You have defeated Fake You gain 5,713 influence.
The intent seems to be that turning off XP while exemped is to reward XP as Influence. If that is the case, the text for the selected option should be "Reward XP as Infuence" instead of "Double Influence, No XP".
If, in fact, the intention is to actually double Influence, there is a more serious bug. I should get 6232 influence for the Fake instead of 5713.

Testing on the training room with a level 50 in an MA mission gives the same amount of influence no matter what the Disable Earning XP and XP While Exemplared settings are. This is as it should be, but it is not what the patch notes claim.|

A level 50 should be getting slightly more than double the amount of influence that a level 49 character gets while getting XP. I don't have a level 49 character to test that with. Anyone have a level 49 that they can try this out with?

Well I suspect that GM's would only be available for certain outdoor maps. Still it would be nice to have the ability to have:
Ghost of Scrapyard
Deathsurge
Arachnos Flyer
Caleb
Kraken
Jurassik
Babbage (though I think i saw him available already)
Paladin
Adamaster (already avail as I recall)
Eochai
Jack
Kronos Titan
All available to insert into a story arc. It would be even better if they made an exception to the badge rules for AE and allowed GM badges to be awarded for defeating them, but I doubt they would go that far, but that's ok.
Ghost Ship and Lusca could be left out given that Ghost Ship is actually rather harmless despite its vast size and Lusca given its size also.

Has this been fixed blueside as well for Tanks? I'd like to be able to play my Inv/SS tank again with the sound on.

IMEHO, it's a tiny bit of a worry that the patch notes only comment on the Brute problem, while it was well noted here that the problem also existed for Scraps and Tanks. It kinda whispers "poor communication" to me.
Scrappers are just like chainsaws. Somewhat hard to handle, EXTREMELY dangerous, and by far the most fun when wielded by the slightly insane.

Perhaps the bug was first reported/indentified with Brutes and who cares, it's fixed.

- Fixed an issue where Level 50 (level capped) characters did not receive double influence when they exemplared down (with that option selected).
