Difficulty settings

Hi, I recently resubbed and would like to know about the new difficulty settings.

How do the difficulty settings work when I'm in a group? Specially the setting "number of heroes to which I'm equivalent".

The mission is set to whichever number is higher, the real number of teammates or the artificial number of teammates.

Do the other options influence the missions? Like fighting AVs at their full strength?

If you've enough teammates, you will get an AV even if your set to EBs instead (4-6 is roughly the spot).

'Real' team size will always override 'virtual' team size with regard to bosses and AV's. You can be set to team size of 8 with no bosses. If you are solo, you'll have no bosses. If you add a 2nd player, you'll get bosses. Same with AV's (except it takes more than 2 players to get AV's - it should be six at base difficulty unless that was changed).

That is, unless you "map it out" solo first, get the bosses to spawn as lieuts and the AVs to spawn as EBs, and then start inviting teammates.
