Problem with Level Shifting
I haven't gotten a level shift yet, so no comment there. I have had problems with the enemy scaling in tip missions though. They often ignore difficulty settings and con +1 level higher than they should. Occasionally exiting or resetting the mission fixes it... Occasionally.
Mystic Cross might be right. I think the problem lies with the Tip Missions. I don't notice them scaling higher than they should when running Tips on my 50s, but when I started working on bringing my 22 Dominator to Rogue, I constantly found foes were averaging +1 to me, even though the character is at the default +0/x0.
I haven't tried exiting or resetting to see if that changes anything, but if I remember, I'll give it a try.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

That explains the Red DE that I had in my mission (considering I was set to +0x4) whilst level shifted....
Yesterday I was running some Hero Tip missions with a character that has a Cardiac Rare boost slotted, which gives a level shift. I was noticing that some of the missions were not properly shifting the mobs to the appropriate con, but others were.
Devouring Earth missions: shifted just fine every time I did them.
Arachnos and Carnies: In at least two missions, the first time I entered the mission they were higher than they should have been. Lvl 51 minions were yellow instead of white, etc. I tried fighting them as normal, and after dying and going to the hospital, re-entering the mission seemed to fix them to the correct level. I don't know if simply exiting the mission without dying and coming back in would have fixed it because I didn't do it. I also unslotted the boost and put it back in to see if that would do anything. (It didn't while inside the mission, though I was dead at the time)
My difficulty is set for 0/+2 No AV.
When teamed up with a partner, and running more missions, the level shift worked just fine. Fought Council and Malta.
Has anyone else had weird issues with level shifting? I only have one character with a slotted Alpha, and have only used a Cardiac, so I don't have any experience with the other kinds of boosts.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
