Levelling up kills my henchmen!

I don't know if this is caused by the recent patch that:

Quote:
Fixed a bug that allowed Masterminds in some missions to Malefactor down and retain high level pets. Now pets will be lost whenever the combat level of the Mastermind's team decreases. This also resolves the issue of retaining 2 or 3 tier 1 pets while Malefactored down to the point where the Mastermind can only summon 1 pet.
However, while I was doing missions on a team today where I was slightly lower than the team leader and thus "sidekicked" or whatever it's called villain-side, whenever I would gain a level and catch up to the team's level (thus losing my virtual sidekick level as I got there for real) my henchmen would all die. Quite a shock when you're standing amidst more than a large group of Mooks. Especially when you had *just* resummoned them and now have to wait for them to recharge.

Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

Not solely. The damage was spread out a bit, but when my henchmen fell things did get grim, with everyone dropping at least into the orange.

Yeah I had this same thing happen the other night with my Demons. I went ding as the first of a mob dropped and suddenly all my pets dropped dead. nothing like standing there with basically 2 whip attacks and Air Superiority while a huge mob drools over the prospect of tearig you limb from limb.

"Hey Gratz on the new level! We've devised this new system to make leveling easier for you. All your pets are dead so after that quick trip to the hospital stop by the Arbiter and add those new slots or that new power you've been longing for. Don't thank us its just part of the job" signed COH Marketing.

I had good support, acted quickly resummoning, and no ill effects but I sure hope they straighten that out soon.
