Not a bug.
If it's "full of bosses" I'm guessing you have the spawn size setting pretty high. Drop it down, then there will only be an end room boss.

No bosses doesn't mean bosses won't appear, they'll just spawn as lieutenants.
Of course, if you knew that already and they really ARE spawning as bosses, then that's definitely a bug.
No, the DE tip missions spawn bosses regardless, I recall Castle commenting on that being WAI.

Not sure on the working as intended but yes that tip does spawn a boss as a boss even if you are set to no bosses. I had a blaster set to no bosses and got a boss on that one every time.

None of the DE tips have (solo, at x1 or x2) spawned Devourers as Bosses, only Lieutenants, for me... Exactly which tip is this in?
The only thing relating to DE tip missions I recall Castle commenting on was their increased base toHit. I don't recall anything about the difficulty slider failing to affect the bosses.

That's not how the slider works. You can go x8 set to no bosses, and you will not get bosses. The only time this changes is if you are not actually solo. "No bosses" applies only when you are the only character on the team.| If it's "full of bosses" I'm guessing you have the spawn size setting pretty high.

This sounds like a bug to me.

Only few exceptions I can think of atm, are 2 Hercules Titans combining into Zeus Titan and council boss downgraded to LT turning into Warwolf boss.

I never worried about it as my blaster was the only one I didn't have bosses on and I could defeat him by hover blasting him fairly easily.
Redcap LTs can also jump into the group and pop back out as bosses even if you have it set to "no bosses". Not specifically relevant to the OP, but fits with some of the info others have posted here. So just be aware of that should you get redcap missions.
This has been the case for me as well. It is the crey scientist mission. Each time I have taken it, it is a cave map with at least two bosses in each spawn (I am running +0/8, no bosses, no AV's). It is ridiculous. It has happened to me twice. Both times I have dropped the mish, and now I just dismiss the tip when I get it.

Spoiler....
Psi Knight brain emails you, asking for rescue from the devouring earth. Only by the time you get to him he has been mutated into a Greater Devoured. Not a scaled down Lt. either.
By the 30's, when you get this tip, most characters should be able to take him by eating inspirations and burning him down, but I can see how it can bother a lot of people too. I do agree it seems buggy but not as bad as some controllers against any elite boss.

I've run this many many times, though only at +0/x1. He has always been a Lieut for me.

Yeah, I don't remember Devoured Psi-Knight ever being a Boss, but I haven't run that mission lately.|

However, two DE tips in the 40-50 range (hero selection for "Scrawled Bark" and "You Can't Keep Your Balance!") have always had the end Devoured be a Boss rather than downgraded to a Lieutenant, even with "No Bosses" selected.

Also almost all DE in these tip missions have 64% to-hit. So consider yourself warned.

i've reported a long time ago as a bug, as like the op no matter what tip mission i do if it's DE all the DE bosses show as bosses and not lt...this is running it set at 0/1 with no bosses...still no response if it is or not
Quote:
Haven't done that one since before I19 hit (took about a month and a half off a couple of weeks before the issue), but he was never a Boss for my characters with Bosses off... So, an I19 problem?

I use a Dual Pistols/Devieces blaster to run my daily tip missions. I have my difficulty set to default. I never run into DE bosses. They are always LTs and I ran both the DE tunnel mission and the DE mission where you have to save the Crey tonight.
No one pays attention to me, cause I listen to the voices in my head.
From my experience, Greater Devoured do not spawn as Lieutenants, regular Devoured do otoh.
I can confirm that I saw the Devoured spawn as bosses even when I am solo and not set for bosses, but only in the Hero tip about saving Crey scientists. I swear I did that one, had Devoured bosses, then in another tip with DE the Devoured spawn as lieutenants.
It's just annoying because the ability to adjust your own difficulty is one of the things I love about this game, I cannot believe that arbitrarily taking away that ability is working as intended.
I have my diff set to no bosses when solo and it works fine until I get a DE tip[ mission. Then its full of them. Is this a bug?
