rep oddity
Depends on which mobs you're fighting and which type of missions you're doing. The Lost tend to have a high boss count on their missions, while The Council prefers to spawn a greater number of minions, for instance. Freakshow are somewhere in between.
Each enemy group has its own spawning rules.
When I am set to +0/5 no bosses OR +0/7 no bosses on a duo I do not get any bosses (sometimes not even end mish boss).
When I am set to +0/6 no bosses on a duo I get bosses (about every other mob). I know this is "working as intended", but it seems very odd to me. |
It sounds like there's a bug on the +0/7 setting. That SHOULD give you bosses if you're in a duo. As should /6 and /8 settings.
P.S. When I use my fire/kin to PL, if I set the map while solo I get no bosses. If I invite the other character before setting the map, I will get bosses. So that's working correctly.

It's not enough to look at ranks, you have to look at the types of enemies too. As mentioned above, different factions have different rules, and not every mission has a "boss", and for those that do, they're not always set to be a boss rank. With Council, Skyraiders and Warriors especially, I've often had a Adjutant, Captain, or other Lt as the "end boss".
If you, for example, do an entire mission on a duo and never see a Freak Tank, there's nothing unusual there. If you are solo, and then add another player partway through the mission, seeing a Freak Tank scaled down to Lt is possible. If you are teamed from the beginning of the mission, and see a Freak Tank Lt, then something is happening in a way it shouldn't.

Thank you all for your input. This has been observed with two or three different enemy factions both redside and blueside and the duo was always formed before the mish was chosen. Part of me wants to believe this is working as intended even though it is extremely odd. I am going to try some different enemy groups and see what happens.

Do you find this odd?
Have you experienced this ever?
